From my experience, NSI is very knowledgable about fraud.
There's also the teensy little matter of the original payment agreement "two years up front then annually" suddenly changing a few months back to "two years in advance". Expecting bills for US$35, and getting them for US$70 instead. Notwork $olutions still allows a "back door" which (sometimes, when it doesn't break) allows payment for a single year ahead... but how long will it be before they close that?
Sneaky bar stewards deserve to lose all their business, in my opinion. The sooner people vote with their feet and minimise the power of this arrogant and incompetent organisation, the better!

I for one wouldn't visit the restaurant in a hotel on the moon. It wouldn't have any atmosphere.

Too true, IRL & cyberspace. I keep telling everyone that the only disclaimer that makes sense on the Internet is:

It's worse than that.
get spam
if (feeling like doing something about spam) goto 6
delete spam
w*rk, eat, sleep, live
goto 1
send abuse report to excite.com
get autoresponse from ISP, containing link to wwwDOTspamroundtableDOTcom, billed as an anti-spam site
follow link, end up on porn website:(
goto 1
Don't believe me? Try sending a spam abuse report to abuse@excite.com. Unless Excite has read the email I sent them yesterday telling them that their autoresponder behaves in this way, and has amended it, you'll weep, just as I did.

"Microsoft is finding it harder and harder to develop products that compel people to migrate," MacDonald said. "Microsoft built its market share because its products were good enough. But good enough isn't enough to get people to upgrade anymore."
There is still at least one huge area in which the MS product range could be made better - usability. Instead of concentrating on new bells and whistles, MS would do well IMO to concentrate on fixing the multitude of I-wish-it-didn't-do-that "features".
Perhaps then they might in the process convert people - like me - who are fed up to the back teeth of an OS that only has to be used because (almost) everyone else uses it.
Unless this is just a storm in a teacup - and I don't believe it is - perhaps Demon Internet did everyone a favour by caving in to Dr Godfrey and highlighting the total stupidity of our current laws.
Britain is going to miss out, "Big Time", as the Yanks say, on the information revolution unless we can get this resolved - and quickly!

From the quoted CNET article:
There is still at least one huge area in which the MS product range could be made better - usability. Instead of concentrating on new bells and whistles, MS would do well IMO to concentrate on fixing the multitude of I-wish-it-didn't-do-that "features".

P.S. Typo in the subject line isn't mine ;)
