Actually a group of companies makes the phones, while another seperate group of companies build the network. Your argument would be like blaming the car companies for all of the gravel roads in the US
I had to work on a computer of a person that had died a few monthes ago. When I got online, ICQ opened and connected. It felt a little bit creepy, and I wondered what people who had him on their list thought!
I sell long distance and most of the people I call are absolute idiots. We wouldn't even get their number if it wasn't for their idiocy. They are the type of people who sign up to win a cruise or a new computer in some drawing box in the middle of the mall. Or some of them sign up for free shit on the internet So next time you get a call, ask yourself: Am I one of those idiots?
I work for a long distance company telemarketing. It's true that lots of people will lose their jobs over this list. People act like getting a telemarketer call is the end of the world. I mean I don't sell windows or cruises or anything stupid like that. I sell long distance service, and what better way to sell phone service than over the phone!
I love it when I call people who say they don't do business over the phone. I always ask them if they order pizzas, since that's doing business over the phone. Or how they got their phone line set up to begin with, chances are they had to call for that. I love it when people just press a bunch of buttons on the phone, thinking it hurts our ears or something. I love it when people yell and scream at me, not realizing I have their name, address, and phone number in front me. I love it when I call someone and they think its the biggest deal that I interupted their dinner. If they were so busy they shuoudn't have answered the phone. I love it when people tell me to get a real job, when chances are I make more money telemarketing than they do with their "real job."
Next time a telemaketer calls your house don't get mad that they interupted your dinner, everyone eats dinner at different times, and it's impossible to work around everyone's schedule. Before you yell at the telemarketer realize its usually a college or high school student trying to pay their way through school, or a single mother trying to feed their kid. Maybe if you just listen to them they will have something you are interested in, or you could save money on your long distance bill. If not, just tell them you arent interested and hang up. Last time I checked getting a phone call wasn't that big of a deal.
This was already done in Iowa a few years ago, so this is old news. It was big news when it first came out. But I don't think it lasted very long. It was just a big ploy to get people to put more money into it
In my Computer Science I class at the University of Iowa, I'd say 50% of the class was girls. 1% of the girls I would actually think about touching, only if I was drunk though.

Ultimately, America and Canada became very different cultures. One of Lipset's favorite illustrations of this point is the metric system -- or as good Americans say, "the hated Jacobin perfidy known as the metric system." Canada and the United States both instructed their citizens to use the metric system at around the same time (1970 and 1975, respectively). The Canadians, true to their Royalist toady roots, leapt to their feet and declared, "Aye, aye, eh!" The Americans yawned. Today, the Canadians do everything metric-style while we still kick it old-school. The only metric-system stuff we know is that cocaine is sold in kilos. (If you're interested in learning more about the metric system -- get your ass out of my country. Just kidding.).
Does anyone remember the Robocop tv series. I was little kid then, and I only saw one episode. But the episode I did see inviolved this. The police department invented a substance that caued 100% of traction to be lost, unless you were wearing the special shoes made for walking on the surfaces. Luckily robocop was outfitted with the special boots.
I just recently got broadband access. I remember many times I would let my computer download hundreds of megs of warez and mp3s overnight and during the day while I was gone. If someone really wanted to get the iso on a slow connection they could. Of course, those without CD Burners are also at a disadvantage.
Hey, ahh, could someone tell me where I can get a Speedy PC with PLenty of Ram shipped overnight for less than a month of minimun wage? I want 2 of them!
I owe all of my networking knowledge to the fact that for 3 hours out of the day I was able to work with the network admin at my High School. At my college I have yet to even see anyone work on the comptuers.
A friend of mine works for a phone company which is going to spend about $20,000 to get him numerous certifications. He had to sign a contract saying that he would be there for four years, if he leaves early, he has to repay at least half of the training costs. This method appears to be the best solution
Well thats the beauty of piracy if your an individual user. Since you never registered your pirated version of Windows 2000 and Office 2000 (haha everyone has one) Microsoft has no record that you even use their product
Suing a college to have them ban napster is kind of like trying to close down interstate 80 because drugs are transported through it. Thats quite stupid and also a waste of money.
I fully agree! are you guys at slashdot fucking idiots? are you going to start posting chain letters next? Research something before you fucking post it. Its posts like this that should be moderated at a 5, by people who are know about the subject. I bet the person who submitted this was under 13, you'd have to be to submit it, and you'd also have to be under 13 to actually post it!
I think you are all wrong. I maybe be a little intoxicated but, I know for a fact that you can spoof from uin #1. go here and check it out. http://isoaq.da.ru ICQ would send you a system message not a personal message from uin #1. I think ICQ is just like napster. they'll delete your account if they find you, but are they really going to look?
Actually I tihnk it might hold up. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the agrument that 5 years ago you couldnt turn them off, or if so, not easily. That just goes to show you, greed only pays off if its doen privately, not commercially!

"Children so stupid they think America invented the Internet, computer, motor car, light bulb, telephone"
Uh weren't all of those invented inside the US? Maybe you're the stupid one.

I made one of those when I was a sophmore in high school? Whats the big deal? Hasn't everyone made one or at least seen one in their life?

I was going to buy an Ipod, but after seeing this, who the hell would want to do that? You get just as much hd space and more features, for $100 less.

www.hell.com is really good. bizarre, but very good
OK, Let me submit the list of 2000 mp3's I have with slightly different filenames for approved use.

Does this remind anyone of terminator 2? the anmanned military took over. I doubt this would happen but it could!

I havent read this article yet. but my guess is, it'll be just like 2001: a space odyssey. None of that shit came true!
