I agree... mostly. Keep in mind, there are probably employees who know more than the admins. Our admin is a lateral transfer from a sales manager position. Nice guy, but I know more than he does. So why not find a small group of qualified, competent users who can help out? An Admin-mini-team, so to speak. 2 heads are better than one, and all that.
Of course, it won't happen. I have to keep working my way around all their frivolous crap that blocks personal e-mail and slashdot. But I'm sure some companies aren't as near-sighted.
The problem always comes in justifying how you received the money to spend. The IRS is very interested in how you got $100,000 to gamble, or spend, in the first place.
Ironically, some of the best ways to launder money are for services. Drug dealers will often set up as some sort of unregulated service (computer repair is popular) and when they make a house call for "service" they sell the drugs, and the money is documented as clean income for that particular service. However, that's laundering money before it gets to you. If you have dirty money already, it's far more complicated without partners. With partners, you can launder small amounts of money back and forth between various small businesses.
At least Comcast offers services that people actually WANT. You may not like some of their policies, but they are what I would call a "positive" business. That is, as opposed to a negative business like e360 that acts more as a parasite offering "services" that consumers don't really want and quite often hate. They leech off the system.
I say, "Go Comcast!" I'll put that on the list of things I never thought I'd read/hear. But I have to agree, Comcast is the slightly lesser of these two evils.
I'm going through the same thing with Men's Health. They sent me an unsolicited Magazine, and now they request payment. The collection Agency sent something, and now I'll be challenging it on my credit report, and possibly suing for harassment and illegal business practices.
No, but most telecommunications laws require you to keep records of activity. Failure to do so can be both costly and detrimental to your personal freedom.
...and now, Mr. Buffet is the riches man in the world.
However, there is always the counterpoint of "In the long run, we're all dead"
What you need to do is find a way to make satisfactory profits today, while still having sustainable growth. As has been mentioned before, resorting to legal battles to stop technological progress is usually the last sign of a dying system. The RIAA needs to adapt or die.
Your belief about a religion lying is, in fact, the same as their belief in an afterlife. You are both making a belief where there is no distinctive proof.
Furthermore, you are applying "social pressure" on this very site with your remarks, thus, by your own standards, making you no better than them.
I don't see how your belief would cause hatred by someone espousing Christian ideals (or most modern religions. Despite the zealotry of the followers, most of them are indeed non-violent)
More importantly, Common sense doesn't pay the campaign bills.
patent Trolls sometimes do, and for a politician, they'll take the sometimes donor over those dumb "voters"
Of course, everything has to be paid for. In this case, Earthlink is paying for it out of their profits. Which means their customers are paying for it. Which means their employers are paying for it... and so on.
But it is free to the users, for now. It'll be interesting how it develops from here though.
Of course the cost of CD's are inflated. They don't have any increased production cost than cassette's did, but the price went up just because the quality is better.
This is why i only buy the occasional CD. And this is why we'll see prices drop, if the collective consumer ever pulled their head out and realized it.
Besides, it only takes one negative to turn people off to a company. Eventually, even Google or Apple will have enough slights (perceived or real) to no longer be the darlings they are now.
Basically, they've determined that if these two keep competing, they'll kill each other, and then there will be no satellite radio. By merging, it provides competent options to broadcast radio and other audio services.
Satellite radio is too small to be it's own market, for now.

Didn't they also think that the PS3 would be the best selling game console?
Didn't they also claim they couldn't be found on store shelves, and would pay $1200 for each on?
In fact, they did. http://www.penny-arcade.com/2007/2/12/
Let's just say, I don't trust their market predictions.
Of course, in comic form...http://www.penny-arcade.com/images/2007/20070210.jpgI've used 1&1 before, and they have been wonderful.
Check out any Small Business trade magazine archive, they'll probably have some sort of article on domain providers in the last year.
I love how this is basically a self-sulfilling rumor.
By mentioning it, people will talk about, which will lead to wider distribution, etc.
Yes, I love the Irony as well.
I wonder if Comcast has anything to do with this...
What? They've been behind most of the other internet throttling schemes lately. It's at least plausible to ask.
"And they would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for those meddling Nerds."
And now I've signed. This may be the best use of the internet ever. I knew Al gore invented it for a reason.
You've got a good point. At this rate, these voting machines are more random than slot machines.
Yeah, but those can both change. Frankly, this is just disgusting.
Comcastic apparently means "do what we tell you!"
I'm really glad I'm not in their service area. This is exactly why we need better Net Neutrality regulations.
But then we'd ruin Hollywood's tradition of messing up good book-to-movie transitions!
Seriously, you would think they learned from peter Jackson that the closer to the book you hold, the more popular it is.
Besides, there's enough nerds out there, that if you get it close enough, they'll be chanting "The DVD is life!"
Frankly, I don't believe this guy. No one comes out and says "it was me" in a situation like this. Sounds like he's just trying to get his 15 minutes.
I don't need to upgrade, XP is already superior to Vista.

I completely agree, this still smacks of something fishy.
I wouldn't be surprised if this "turnaround" is in direct relation to a behind-the-scenes "bit of advice" from the FCC.
Comcast still hasn't said they won't mess with your traffic, only that they're working with this company for their own ends.
