While I understand the environmental argument, paper bills make for accountability. With online-only billing, you have no way to resolve certain account disputes, because they hold all the data! I'm not putting on my tinfoil hat and saying they'll deliberately screw up the records and double bill you - but mistakes do happen. Having a paper trail is the best way to protect yourself from mistakes.
Also, consider this: what happens to your account when you close it? How can you prove that you had the account once it's closed if it's online-only? With a paper trail, you can prove it! (This applies more to banks than cell phones...)
Who exactly is saying that the e-bills are online *only*. They're electronic and they can be downloaded. Also, who is giving you the paper bill in the first place? Answer, the company trying to bill you. How does electronic billing differ from paper billing in terms of who HAS the data?
What a ridiculous statement! Under what contract are you signing does it state "This document becomes void when the debtor is billed electronically" or something along those lines?
Exactly, what is it about a person's social status that makes them sound "better"? Nothing, that's what. It's all about talent and practice. Some of the greatest musicians I have EVER heard were busking on the streets. No amount of money, notability or stature will ever change how they sound or how their instruments sound.
Everyone knows that you hack a power grid system with a modem, weird command line interfaces using pseudo-english commands and some fast random typing on a keyboard.
Don't forget about the swirling numbers and mathematical symbols in the background all the while you can see them flying through the file system.
It's not that the molecule itself needs to be big enough, it's the structure of it. The stuff holding it together. The stuff holding the molecule together could not withstand the instruments, but now they've developed a way to do it.
TBH, all collections agencies are scumbags. They all act the same and they all have the same tactics.
On another note, there is no buying of papers or contracts. Accounts are distributed on a percentage basis, so if iQor is supposed to get 40% of Rogers Wireless accounts, then they will get about 40% depending on the size of the accounts. This is called their market share. They are obligated to collect as much on the accounts as possible and iQor only gets a percentage of the collections. In the case of Rogers and iQor, they don't pay outright for the accounts.
Unless this is a completely different iQor(I don't think it is) then they aren't exactly a call center. My company creates software for use by clients and collection agencies and they are one of our collections agencies we work with.
I'm not saying that as a whole we won't have to evolve significantly before anything like I suggested can happen. The values of other nations as well as our own will need to be adapted so that everyone is best represented and upheld in a unified nation. It's no simple task that can be answered with any current system, but it can be done.
I've always thought that the only way for us as a race to become a unified nation is to simple explore space together. As soon as one nation decides to call Mars or whatever other celestial body their own, it will just be downhill from there.
Unreadable? Are you really that stupid that you can't understand a couple words? I know the grammar might be off, but the message still gets across. Also, who says I only want LAN capability because I'm worried about net outages. You should stop making things up. It might help you troll later on.
Except the company suing them aren't patent trolls. If you took a minute to check out their site, they legitimately offer services that directly relate to what they're suing about.
Hell, if MS put it in IE 8.1 it would possibly even win-over the geek crowd.

Well I understood what he said and it's probably the best idea I've heard.
In fact, it's so great I was about to post it myself but realised that he had beat me to the punch.
I work in the collections sector and I can tell you that some people filing for bankruptcy seem to make it into a job of some sorts. They file for bankruptcy literally as soon as they can do it. I've seen people who have filed 6 to 7 times and the credit card companies still give them card after about 2 - 4 months.
As I said in my post, I didn't want to come off as being against this sort of working style at all. I would personally love to have this sort of work structure. I just think the name Digital Nomad is making out to be something it's not. You could call it a little corny even.
We're all just poking fun at the name in the end anyways. I know most of the people commenting here, although they might not admit it, would love to be able to work the way you work.
Seems more like it's just people who want to feel like they're on vacation all the time instead of at work.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not against it. I just think the label "Digital Nomad" is a bit of a stretch.

Da peepee. It has a nice ring to it.
I can't seem to "cache" it as well. Nor can I understand what you're saying.

I'd much rather a unified nation with no competition and still having drive to get to space than separated nations at war.

Well I am legally blind you insensitive clod. :P

Exactly, bottom line for me is, no LAN, no money from me.

What about the universities that continually lower the bar so that they can keep hitting 'record' graduation percentages?
Except you get a lifetime sentence not in jail, but in public humiliation that you are now considered a rapist for mooning someone.
Thank you for putting it in a way I could understand. I had no idea what this discussion was all about until you came along with a car analogy.
