They tried to steal $415,000 from a county with only 73,000 people? Didn't they think anyone would notice?
Next time they should try Los Angeles county (9.8 million people).
'course they would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids!
Enjoy reading slashdot until the weekend before the project is due. Then panic will set in, and you can load up on pizza and Jolt cola and code in a frenzy. Don't worry, you can fix all the bugs when they come back from QA.
Works for me anyway...
Don't get freaked out then, this is not legal.
The specific text (from here: http://www.ftc.gov/os/2002/12/tsrfinalrule.pdf) is "(iii) Initiating any outbound telephone call to a person when [clauses follow including the DNC list rule]".
Any outbound call would include a human dialed outbound call.
What you likely heard are a bunch of other clauses in the telemarketing sales rule (superset of the DNC rules) which refers to how you answer the phone. Any caller must answer with a live voice within 2 seconds of the hello, so we don't have to live with the call progress analysis algorithm taking its time listening to you say "hello... hello... f***ing telemarketers! ".
Sleep well
Is it just me, or didn't CNN kill news?
That may sound backward, because I think they started with good intentions. However, the drive to create new content 24X7X365 has pushed all news outlets to report first, investigate later.
example: http://cbs5.com/local/huckaby.mistaken.identity.2.984162.html
Perhaps the newspapers could get back to being the mainstream source of information if they went back to producing LESS news, but actual news worthy content.
Let Fox and MSNBC move all their content to Twitter - it will be closer to their users attention span anyway.

So the question is - will it be "pisston" driven like other gas powered internal combustion engines?
Or will we go with the wanker er wankel design?
