Is it me or are people just whinging about the smallest thing? I fail to see why any institution that I've chosen not to do business with, should continue to serve me for free.
If a paper trail is that important, print a copy of the bill and file it, or create PDF of the online bill and store it.

In this day and age cant people insist on Video interviews? Hookup skype and a webcam.
Take this one step further, insist on biometrics during the video interview and make those biometrics the passkey for the payment (your payment will be unlocked only if the biometrics of the interviewee and the physical body delivered to us match).
Absolutely, true. We deal with several sources of "Report Junk" abuse.
- Community members who would rather click on "Report Junk" than click on unsusbcribe, because they're just too lazy.
- Idle idiots who signed up to our community just because they were bored at some point (opted in..) and forgot they signed up.
- People who read the newsletter and go... "this is not useful" and mark it as junk.
Yahoo in particular are a pain in the arse to deal with. Infact we recommend users to signup using gmail or hotmail and have banned a few dozen free email providers as they just create more problems than they solve.
You're lucky if you can recover 40-50% of the money you'd have spent. The awarded court costs usually do not cover the barrister's and solicitor's full fees.
I should add, that this might not be related to Microsoft at all, but could be a warning sign for some other trade negotiations. "Mess this deal up and we're going after Microsoft"
In China-Speak.. this is most probably the beginning of negotiations with Microsoft on various issues.
It is not unusual for them to plant stories in the state run media outlets as a warning / thread, followed by an official denial.
Given the number of dumbarse "reply all" mails I get, I doubt there is any legislation which prevents you from doing a reply all.
"Dear Competitor,
Not sure why you sent us an email. We happen to be a similar business as you and offer far better services and cheaper rates than your business.
Please unsubscribe us from your mailing list, as the specials that you've offered had us rolling in the aisles.
Signed,

With due respect, a DNR's job is not to police domains. If they start policing domains, it opens them up to severe liabilities when things go wrong.
Whats wrong with making money by the way? Thats the HK way...
I disagree. While PGP can transport the data securely, once decrypted, it will be rendered as insecure as the consultant's weakest point of security.
If the data were truly sensitive, I'd send an anonymous set to the consultant, have them prepare a set of scripts / routines / procedures to import and then bring them onsite to complete the task.
I have been struggling with a large mail services provider who ends up blocking addresses just because one person reported an email as spam.
Our problem is people register on our site to spam our forums, then get banned and when they get the newsletter they opted into, they report it as spam. Seen this happen with one or two users... and it ends up getting our newsletter banned from every damn ISP they provide their services too.
Cant get it through to their spam fighters... "take a look at who is reporting this as spam".
(Actually the issue here is they handle things manually... pretend its algorithmic and then hide behind all sorts of "trade secret" excuses)
Lets just say I suspect that the article (and the post on slashdot) was the first attempt at a botnet trying to simulate the million monkeys on typewriters experiment.

What happens if the next generation of servers run 10 Degrees cooler?
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. seems appropriate here.
Or Hasta La Vista? :D
If you use PHP, consider getting Maxmind and filter on its city / country databases.
Or .... privatize the profits, socialize the content. :)

Ironic that their website is running PHP. :)

Thank you for being the first person to spot this.. ever! :)

TNS is a worldwide company. I'd seriously hope that they don't use the same software everywhere in the world.

Jeez. Perhaps if you use this as an online translator ( http://searchstorage.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid5_gci212181,00.html ), you'll understand what China(as in the country)-Speak is.

Try defending a case in common law jurisdictions. The legal bill with convince you that there is no such thing as free speech.

Fairly typical of a naive academic who is used to getting his way.
