why didn't you just say, yes we block out-bound port 25 to prevent spam 10 minutes ago?
becuase they hadnt thought of that b-s line to feed you until then.
1. you asked aol support for help you dumbass. shame on you.
2. having experienced it first hand, that tech was simply b-sing to sound good (its a very developed skill there)... "techs" have NO idea what aol's spam or noc policies are, they just mute their mic and turn around and ask someone like me for a good line. ive long since quit and am in an ongoing effort to atone for my sins.
3. dont bother calling aol tech support now, 90% of the support consultants are in INDIA. and you thought it was AMERICA online.
NPR is actually damn good. Only folks that don't really listen to it think its boring. and its a LOT less boring than the 'pop rock' Clear Channel Stations all over town.
actually the aclu is about trying to keep the law FAIR for everyone. So we don't come around and skull fuck jerks like you with a shovel without due process.
1.) Advertising is regulated and must be within professional guidelines defined by each state's Bar.
2.) Minimum fees are not fixed, don't you folks use the concept of 'pro bono' work? (lawyers ONLY get paid if they win the case when they take a case 'pro bono'). Regulations on attorneys fees is up to each state, in Florida there is no minimum, but there are maximums (ie: recently passed legislation limits Medical Malpractice suit fees for attys). Last time I checked, the Florida Bar recommendations for standard attorney's fees (private/individual practice, U.S. Dollars):
New Attorneys: $125 to $150 per hour 5-10 years Experience: $200 per hour 15+years of experience: $250+ per hour
Albeit, I have come across attorneys charging upwards of $400 per hour.
3.) Loser paying winners fees depends on state law. In Florida, thats exactly what happens, and that DEFINITELY helps contribute to so called insane fees. I'm sure even German lawyers don't give any leeway when they are calculating their time and billing when the other party is paying.
Overall, I think advertising plays a big part for at least the local attorneys who make too much money through shady dealings.
I think it has more to do with the freedom allowed for within the regulations... don't forget that eve German politicians are mostly lawyers, just like the US and Britian.
by having to pay for the program, whatever kazaa ripoff company she paid was in fact the one doing something illegal by alluding to the idea that the content on the service was legal. the parents were paying for the service including the content. its more akin to walking into a bank, already under the control of bank robbers who happen to be standing in the teller booth, making a legitimate withdrawl and not having the withdrawl taken out of your bank account.
So I could have a better idea what goes on in the mind of the CEO Start golfing, if you can stomach 18 holes twice a week and $1500 per month to your local country or yacht club, you'll be thinking like a CEO.
as a non subscriber but long time reader of slashdot, I guess I'm proof positive they will not pay. Thats also a testament to the number of linux users (and warezed windows users) that read the site.
slashdot is far from one of the largest content delivery systems, but it is probably one of the majors as far as the 'friendly' revenue model.
the simple fact that they have to think about the money involved must take a lot of the fun out of running the site.
that's like warning all drivers that they could be breaking some obscure traffic law, and that they should read up before they might be pulled over. Sure, it's probably true, but what to do about it?
Do what everyone else does and just dont give a shit. Oh and occasionally give them the finger.
actually, its more like a whale devouring a bloated, bright red glowing plankton that caught your eye for a split second before it was swallowed with 10,000 other plankton.
If their code is in a GPL'ed program, they know about it, they must request to have that code removed, or accept the General Public _License_ for their code, as required by the GPL. They are absolutely in violation of the GPL by claiming part of a GPLed program is theirs and must be seperately licensed, all else they can do is sue the developer that put the code in (IBM?) and request it be removed. Its a twisted and confusing issue for sure, but they are violating the GPL by leaving the code in and seperately requesting license fees.
All it would take is to email Linus a copy of the files that are in violation and tell him 'the following lines are copyrighted by us, please remove lines 38-89, 82-84, etc from your code, and since your such a nice guy, please don't go around posting the exact lines we asked you to remove, have a nice day'
how hard would that be. they have no legal grounds and should actually be getting hit with cease and desist letters from Linus or any of the developers(and ESPECIALLY corps like REDHAT) whose code might be affected. they are blackmailing unknowing companies with fud.
Let's talk about Florida... Here in Duval County, Jacksonville, Florida, 20,000 votes were thrown out as ineligible from a predominately black area of town (8 blocks north of the 'downtown' area, aka Springfield). Later, we re-elected John Stafford, the supervisor of elections, by a landslide. A lot of black people voted in the presidential election, but none gave a rat's ass about the local elections, and nothing was changed.:( Of course, noone really gives a crap about local elections except for business owners, after all, John Peyton is our new mayor, you know, John Peyton, Vice President of Gate Petroleum Co. and son of the Majority stakeholder in Gate Petrol?
Everyone I know from Cali calls it cali (or SoCal for anything dry, hot, and/or mexicanified ghetto). and san fransico is called "SF" , who the hell calls it frisco? maybe a socal thing of SoCal i dont have exposure to.
no worries, at least your not from Jacksonville, Florida, where we refer to it as 'south east georgia'...
what a bunch of damn panzies, ive been electrocuted numerous times while working on a nid b/c someone called at that moment and it aint NOTHIN compared to that time i got zapped by a.. i think... actually i cant really remember... what were we talking about again?

go back to your white collar day job, whitey!
11 million dollars PURE PROFIT is a lot of goddamn return if you ask me. "9%" justs aims to make it a small seeming amount of money.
how does it feel to be named after a no-talent ass clown?
Gee that sounds like the behaviour of.... a...
monopoly.
1.)no
and
2.) yes
Sco: wah wah wah blah blah blah
Everyone else: oh look.. a bug... *squash*
