Maybe if they actually gave 0.0000000001% of a shit about the service they provide instead of spending millions trying to figure out how to fuck the customers they've oversold to out of YetAnotherPenny... nah, won't happen.
is just so 80's East Berlin. You would think that somebody, somewhere would have learned a lesson. Fargin' sheeple. Just remember, when the cops come for you because somebody at a PC somewhere said that was you mugging the old lady, that it was you who sat on your lazy ass and let them do this because "only bad people have something to hide." Idiots.
I want a list of the "3 million" who would rather sacrifice the future of the human race that a few % points on their profit margins. I'll be buying from them in the future since they're at least honest which is more than I can say for every other corporation that won't publicly admit to not giving a flying fuck about anybody or anything other than their profits, the future and their children be damned.
If the numbers, complete with the leading zeros, weren't issued by the Social Security Administration, then they aren't SSNs. Period. If I suffer damages because some assclown(s) at a credit agency used these numbers ads if they were SSNs, I'd venture to guess that I have the basis for one serious law suit. Using completely bogus numbers issued by fuck-only-knows-who to screw with my credit rating sounds like gross negligence and punitive damages to me.
Please explain to me how "People don't just attack random strangers" correlates with "there is always a reason." The reason is nutcase, the stranger wasn't random, he was the poor sap that was there when the nutcase snapped. No different that the dude going to the mall and shooting random people who just happened to be the unlucky assholes who were there.
You should really get out more often and see just how fucked up the real world and real people can be.
Thanks to the RIAA/MPAA and their ilk, I now find myself listening to a lot more, much higher quality music than I used to. That's happened thanks to a bit of research, indy artists and the Interweb. Recently I've found much higher quality and much more informative news content on the 'tubes than has ever been doled out by the likes of Fox, CNN or MSNBC. My TV gets used mostly for DVDs and a handful of shows these days. Shit like this is just going to drive me to once again find alternatives elsewhere, which so far have proven to be less expensive, higher quality and so forth. You want to see who's sitting on my couch so you can charge extra/arrange your marketing spam, whatever? Go fuck yourself. There is NO good argument for why I should allow that level of invasiveness into my home by a bunch of gredy slimebags. Yet another collection of overlords who think they control everything and can therefore dictate unreasonable terms. To the sheeple perhaps. GoodLuckWithThat. Not to me or mine. Go get stuffed.
P.S.: Thanks for all the fish.
I thought we were supposed to hate governments (the embodiment of all evil) and embrace unchecked and unrestrained capitalism and free enterprise (the embodiment of all good). You mean letting the no-conscience, no-morals, everything-in-the-name-of-one-more-dollar isn't a good thing either? Say it isn't so.
It's about time they updated the hardware to handle all the deletes of Adware, CrapWare and other crap they not only ship with the box but now install as "updates."
How about all you HARDWARE manufacturers sell me HARDWARE and stay the fuck out of the SOFTWARE business. Unlike Windows which I've only "rented" from Microsoft, I BOUGHT your damned hardware. It's now MINE. When I update a BIOS or install a driver, what I want is a BIOS or a driver, not you shill for some lame-assed POS software. Fuck off already. Assholes.
What do you mean "now?" It's always been that way, it's just easier now that entitlement is taught from the cradle instead of being learned 5 minutes out of college.
So was this a test to determine if we've developed a characteristic through millions of years of evolution that allows us to grip acrylic glass better? Last time I checked, how well something grips depends considerably on what is being gripped. I doubt there was much natural selection for the ability to grip "acrylic glass." Now, if they'd tested for grip on tree bark while swinging they might be on to something...
DHS/NSA/CIA/FBI/TLA du jour must have upgraded their monitoring software to something really fast! I mean AT&T can't supply more bandwidth than what the federal agency's they're warentlessly giving everything to can process it. Can they?
That's because all "we" (the collective) give a shit about is who the next over hyped and marketed singer will be from American Idle and who Paris f*cked yesterday. Something about Rome, circuses and bread comes to mind..
ZOMG! Next thing you'll be telling me is that doctors care more about my health that their Porsches, $1M houses and country club memberships! Or that insurace companies exists to help me when the shit hits the fan instead of figuring out ways to take my mony and not provide service! Next thing you know you'l be expecting me to think that an essential service (healthcare) shouldn't be managed in the most financially efficient manner by a bunch of greedy assholes who's only vested interest in the whole thing is making more money. Who would have thought.. *sigh*
It isn't a "stupid trick." I installed NoScript specifically to help prevent things running in FF that would screw with my system behind my back. This behavior, screwing with ABP's configuration WITHOUT ASKING ME FIRST is EXACTLY THE SORT OF SHIT I installed it to PREVENT. This has nothing to do with how "trivial" said screwing is, or how much money the author does or doesn't make from the damn plugin. It's a matter of trust and what the damn plugin was built to do. The author just used his plugin to do exactly what we all installed it to PREVENT. I (and apparently a lot of others) no longer feel that we can trust the author or his software since he's now stooped to the tactics used by the people and software his plugin was designed to prevent.
The same asshats who have never had a clue what customer service means and who have been handed a virtual monopoly and abused the shit out of it are now getting fucked and they don't like it. Boo hoo. The "free market" just told you to go piss up a rope. Deal. Maybe next time you'll figure out that you actually have to provide something to get our money. Personally I'm fed up with the "new" corporate mentality of entitlement. I don't owe them a profit. They need to actually earn one. I'm even more disgusted by the shills that think they need to be defended. Look, nobody at the cable/telco/whatever company gives a rat's ass about me or what I want/expect from them. Shame on you for expecting me to give a shit what they want or what their problems are. They're the seller and I'm the sellee. Their job is to screw me out of everything they can for as little effort as possible. My job as a consumer is to give them as little as possible for as much as I can get. If we don't work it out and meet somewhere in the middle, one of us is going to get fucked. Sorry, but given the choice between them or me, I chose them to get fucked. Maybe next time they'll be willing to meet somewhere in the middle, but I doubt it.
is that any physician would do anything besides read the propaganda from the pharma co and dispense the new drug like popcorn to their patients for a kickback. Oh wait, this was in Oz.. Never mind.
I fully expect the cops to behave like everybody-is-guilty-of-something power mongering storm troopers. The asshat judge that signed off on the warrant OTOH, needs to go down.

I can't wait for the first lawsuit over MP3s being downloaded to a pacemaker.

Since they didn't protect that information, shouldn't they have to pay off the blackmailers?

I thought Windows 7 wasn't going to be released until the end of the year.
It'll be half as good, cost twice as much, come with a rootkit and won't connect to the InterWeb because, you know, it's full of pirates.

To paraphrase somebody much wiser than I: If your representative is in a higher tax bracket than you, you're not being represented.
