I've had problems with people not sending my stuff out, but all it really takes is an email. Ususally, you get the "Oh, I meant to send that out, but I lost your address." The majority of people are basically honest. Just 1)trust the user rating, 2)keep in constant contact (I sent it, did you get it, yada yada yada) and 3)don't bid on anything "illegal" -- what recourse could you have when they don't send you your DirecTV pirate card like they said they would.
I tried the Visor Phone when it was released, and always felt like I was going to break it. It was bigger than I was comfortable with, and really hurt my wrist trying to hold it to my ear. This sounds like it's a little more egonomic. I may give it a try, since I dropped my Visor and damaged the screen anyway.
Why would Kazaa let Brilliant sink them like this. They seem to have a knack for letting any unscrupulous company bundle shiteware into their program. It's like watching a good friend date the same loser guys over and over again, not realizing... oh, sorry.
Due to your slanderous and libelous review of the obviously wonderful movie "Death to Smoochy", we are hear by serving you with this lawsuit. We seek in damages $100 million, the anticipated box office take for this wonderful comedy staring the ever-funny Mr. Robin Williams. We hope this will not affect your judgement on the upcoming smash "Scooby Doo" staring Matthew Lillard.
PS - We could dismiss this suit if you revise your review to at least 3 stars. Oh, and a thumbs up.
Ah, but that's not quite the same. He wasn't ticketed by the police, but by the company he rented from who was providing a service. Imagine if next time you bought a computer, you were "fined" every time you visited an "illegal" internet site.
One other thing you have to watch out for has nothing to do with someone calling you and asking you to change. It happened to my old roommate.
Be careful when you fill out an entry form or participate in a drawing for prizes. A lot of times in the small print they tell you that participation in this contest amounts to agreement to switch your long distance service. Believe me, you could agree to it without even realizing you did. Even someone writing your phone number down on a contest entry form is good enough for them.
I agree. It works the same way as a public storage company. If I don't pay my bills, the storage company auctions off the storage unit and all it's contents unseen. They have to recoup lost income some how.
I find it ironic that Pinkerton is giving away t-shirts for anonymously turning in potentially disturbed classmates. I can see them now, opening up the just-delivered package and trying on their spanking white trophy -- "I Turned In A Classmate Anonymously And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt."
Perhaps he was paid his "token dollar" now, but when he's kicking back on the board of directors at Mattel in a year, he'll have the last laugh. If you can't beat 'em, hire 'em.

A virus is as much freedom of speech as a death threat is freedom of speech. Stop hiding.
