Tell him to fuck off right back, he failed to deliver a complete product on time (an release without any documentation is not a full release) and when he's ready he should e-mail you with some suitable documentation and a proposed schedule for updating the support team on the features, like he was meant to in the first place.
Where's the company? Where's it now? Oh thats right, when it was first reported days ago the site suddenly disappeared. So now slashdot isn't just reporting an event that has passed, all it has is rumours. Their website stopped responding a while ago now. !News
Literally, I was JUST about to switch my broadband over to virgin, becuase I'd heard they were quite good and reasonable. Net neutrality is already dead? So either they're lying or they've been lying to their customers for a while now. Sticking with BT now atleast, they may not be any better, but they haven't shown they hate their own customers yet, and their service is quite good.
I think its far more likely the RIAA will have "distributed" the money from the cases ot the big four record companies, so when the counter suits come, there's no money left to sue for.
"Stop letting people use the bandwith we sold them!" At the very least they look incompetant having so woefully underestimated the needs of their customers and over estimated their services. At the worst they look crinminal for misselling a service and now they're getting outted by these services that have outed them.
If the users are over using their bandwith as given to them in their contracts then give them the surcharge or cut them off. The BBC has payed for their bandwith so there's no reason to get angry there. Frankly this has been an amazingly long time coming and we can only hope that people pick up and start class action suits for these shady business practices. Personally when I have my 8 meg connection which was sold to me via the internet on this BT page "BT UNLIMITED INTERNET UP 8Mb CONNECTION" and several times hearing them claim "Unlimited Downloads" I don't expect to record a graph of my conneciton speeds dropping during peak times to maybe 32KB/s, it's just not acceptable.
When I phone my friends up during peak times I don't get to say fewer words per second, so why is my internet connection any different?
He lives in the UK now, but he may have lived in the USA then, in which case, pressumably they'd use the default terms of an american agreement. I doubt if you move countries the terms of a deal that was already done change.
Honestly, we all know it, the truth hurts- its just not helpful, when you're trying to avoid that person who really bugs you by constantly asking useless questions, or you're on your lunchbreak and you want to just quietly sit round the office, you really dont want people knowing where you are most of the time. It just isnt necessary, it breeds an air of distrust and interfere's more than anything. Having said that, having the office first aider on an RFID tag, or maybe even insisting on RFID tags in desgnated high security areas, definitely makes alot of sense. Again though all this technology really does seem to be struggling to find a problem.
I read the article and gave up when he couldn't install his audio hardware and was switching between OSS and ALSA (neither acronym did he explain). Normal basic user guy would never get passed that point, never. Easy to use? Maybe, but as shown in the article only for the people who always used to think a few tens of lines into the command line were easy.
Hey! I resent that! The UK owns its own weapons completely. To be fair, we don't seem to be in complete control of the launch codes, but I'm sure when we call up america and ask for them nicely the old yanks'll just hand em right over, right?
The linux drivers for nvidia suck too, nvidia clearly take a long time to get up to speed on new operating systems, it's one reason I no longer use them. Having said that, they're pretty damn solid, so its most likely becuase vistas so mucked up when it comes to drivers.
Apple thinks it owns your iphone, it doesn't consider for a second that the $2000 you are paying entitles you to anything other than to use the phone in the exact ways apple tells you to use the phone. If this was microsoft? Sued to oblivion. If this was the RIAA? PR disaster, phone would collapse. If this were any other phone maker? The phone would disappear in weeks. So why do people donate $2000 to apple (as we know, you don't own the phone). I personally beleive it's the exclusivity, its a shiny design and you'll always be telling everyone "My phone is better than yours" (whether its true or not, is irrelevant if you beleive it). I know several people who own iPhones, I wouldn't speak to them if I could avoid it- not that you could if you wanted to if you could, they're constantly on their iphones (which is astonishing as they certainly aren't talking to anyone that much) So will any of this bother iphone users? Hell no! Function doesn't play any kind of role in the decision making process in buying this phone.
See the pattern yet. You stood there and let the Bush regime murder and torture people. What happened when they announced it? Nothing, becuase they just said "Well, you knew it was happening, if you really objected you should have stopped it" and so they didn't get away with it, they just changed the rules to allow it. If you let these people normalise it in the culture you're too late.
In 5 years when this information is used to imprison people they'll stand there and say "Well you knew it was happening and you didn't stop it". One of the things I love about America is that they're so convinced they don't put up with any shit that when shit happens they either claim they want it to happen or ignore it. Stop waiting for them to announce that they're profiling you to object, you know it's happening, act now, FORCE CHANGE.
I honestly don't care though, why would I care about a country who has allowed a million innocent iraqis die, torture people, attempt to bully the rest of the world, and then have people like Ann Coulter on their television channels saying that all camel jockies should be killed becuase they killed 3 thousand americans in Iraq.
You gave up the rights of others to live, no one should ever do that.
Has it not occured to you that all regulation that has been put in place recently (like music radio) is run by the RIAA, so a court system is set up, you can be sure that the people running it are going to be executing the RIAA's orders not judging their cases.
Can I just remind you all of the hundreds of thousands of people in third world countries over the last 10 years who have DIED from CURED DISEASES. Sure, a vaccine sounds great, but I wont be convinced untill I see people in Africa actually routinely get access to these medical facilities and not just from small time (relative) aid charities. We need a bigger change than just finding cures to more diseases.
They tried to give you ID cards- but you wanted freedom instead. Now prepare for a long media campaign of disasters to convince you ID cards are the only option. You beleive the french are cowards, you beleive castro was an evil man, you WILL beleive ID cards are there to protect us.*
*When I say you, I mean the american population, even if you never beleive, milllions will.
Yes, now your air force is only mind boggling resistance is futile over powered instead of mind boggling resistance is futile give us your first born child over powered.
The consumer because the Macbook Air is driving the market so the PC makers will keep pushing to copy it. By then Apple will have the next generation out but the point is everyone will benefit from them pushing the envelope.
For Gawds sakes man! Steve Jobs must have spent hours pushing that machine in and out of that bloody envelope just to illustrate stretch it get with the programme!
How do you take a balanced view of a religion that wont tell you it's beleifs before you've bought into it. Where did you get the information? How do you guarentee it's accurate.

Sometimes it just feels like people are conspiring to avoid me, finally I've got some proof!

We Stole their idea, and we did it so unsubtly that we can't even slightly pretend we didn't. It was this or get into a storm of lawsuits and bad PR.

Thank you so much. I have an exam tomorow and need to remember that identity, beleive it or not that was a huge amount of work.
