  3. not just MSN on Microsoft, Best Buy Face Racketeering Suit · · Score: 1

    my wife a had similar problem with BestBuy signing her up for magazines she didn't ask for or want. when they started charging for the "free" subscription, it caused a series of checks to bounce and it turned into one bad domino effect after another.

    she eventually got them canceled, the money refunded, and fees returned, but it was a nightmare.
    it should never have happened.

  14. Re:news? on Caves on Mars? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    although water formed caves would be exciting from a geological standpoint, i like the lava tubes theory.
