    Good point. There are no names given for any authorities, and only the "witches" first names are used. Also, the "Austrian Times" is an exact mirror of croatiantimes.com, romaniantimes.at, salzburgtimes.at, viennatimes.at, and austrianindependent.com.

  9. Re:CMYK on Gimp 2.8 Finally Released · · Score: 1

    You must not buy products in packaging (printed), or really do much of anything if you think Billboards represent a fraction of print. People were saying print was dead before you joined Slashdot. You comment just shows how stupid you are.

Many of them have more permissive families.

    I'm glad they sued so the rest of us don't have to go through all that...

    just hang up and call back to get a different rep? Or how about this simple line, "May I please speak to your supervisor?" Or how about calling Verizon's executive offices or main number and ask for a customer ombudsman? .
