yes, there's a bug tracker, but I don't want to track down an login for that. This css seems to be an improvement for me: div.storylinks { padding-left: 1em; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 10px; background-color: #c8ccc8; border-bottom: 2px solid #066; }
No more tempest vans running around outside your house. Just a guy with a wireless modem, sniffing your wireless network and sending keystrokes via your wireless keyboard and mouse.
Entrapment could be ever so easy: Look! He went to a child porno site!
Wasn't that you sitting outside my house breaking and entering my computer?
I've worked for two.coms (both now folded...or trying to) and the first one went round and round with the devs on the IP thing. We refused until I finally brought in sample wording that stated "if it touches your resources (time, hardware, photocopier,...) it's yours; if it doesn't it's mine." Basically if you're stupid enough to work on your project on the companies dime, it's theirs. That's fine, as I don't count myself stupid.:-)
The next company I challenged the contract (after signing...doh) and had the VP of Finance say "oh shit, I signed this, maybe I should fire my lawyers and have you read it". The part in question said "the company can sue you and you have to pay court costs". Which is fine... if they win... you know, I lost, I have to pay the piper. But it didn't say anything about the company losing....the way I read it, I'd have to pay even if the company lost. So, I could win the court case, but have to pay *their* lawyers? They could press frivioulous case after case and bankrupt me? No. That clause went away.
The trick with contracts is to read them with the 'worst case scenario' hat on. How bad could you be screwed if every clause, unmentioned hanging phrase was used against you or effectively ignored? It's like looking for off-by-one loop errors.
Anyway, I've had two employers not challenge reasonable corrections to the agreement.
As an aside, I'm terribly curious what happens if the severability clause ("if any part of this contract is invalid, the rest is still good to go") is invalidated.:-)
Although I probably threw the easy-to-miss flier out, and despite the difficulties presented in the article's links, I called the main service line (1.800.244.1111) (as presented on my bill) and was nominally opted out, but wait! did I hear about the Great New Custom Choice Package!
But wait, did you hear about the great new contracting rate I charge to grade solications that come back with service requests?

what about flat panel "displays". then you've got spaker and monitor in one. I bet that's a savings.
ever noticed that home carpets and interior + exterior walls are about this color too. 'off white' is quite popular in the paint + carpet industry

The stars shouldn't be coming to visit, unless you live in Hollywood, and for most of us, not even then.
