We are aggressively moving away from Solaris because of the change in cost to hardware support. It's a shame for me as Solaris was the OS I'm most comfortable with lately, but, so it goes.
Some do, but I've had very good luck getting that info for C&D letters. It's required that you be able to do that. Penn Credit is one I dealt with, but there were others.
FedEx came after me at work. Apparently someone at my university sent something to someone and I happened to have an account with FedEx (they did not, or they didn't provide it and FedEx randomly picked me). Took some time to straighten it out, but luckily it never went to a legal situation. My name was nowhere on this package, sender or receiver.
My friend had his father's die and the car that he owned had remaining payments. He found out what he had to do to pay what needed to be paid and return the car. It got screwed up and the debt collector got involved, even though he paid. Finally, the debt collectors showed up late at night trying to take the car but it was parked in. They shouted and called him a deadbeat on his front porch in the middle of the night in front of any of the neighbors who noticed. He sued and won $11k. Of course, he was a lawyer at one time, but I imagine lots of folks could do this.
At least where I'm from, one letter to their address stating that you no longer wish to hear from them is enough to end that for good. I get a call, ask them what their mailing address is, and say that I want to send them a cease and desist letter. I hear from each debt collector exactly one (maybe two while the letter is in transit) times.
I'm glad it makes SOMEONE laugh, because it's definitely not funny enough to laugh at from the inside (except when people say shit like "keep your government hands off my Medicare").
There is killing, and then there is race-based prejudice and murder. When your only crime is the color of your skin and in some places that can get you killed, that's scary.
It's not treason, just moronic. The types of services that are on the chopping block are not services that benefit the rich, they're services that both employ and serve the poor and middle class. Realizing that your tax money actually does get used for something and doing that homework before going to one of these asinine meetings would be a great start.
I love how many people try to pretend that just because they've got a cute name for something, it can't possibly be happening. The term exists because of how often the so-called "race card" needs playing.
The only time I hear people bitching about us doing one thing to try to solve the problem is when the one thing is raise taxes on the rich. When the one thing is to fuck over the middle class, it's fine.
I use it all the time. Many of the deals are like "$10 for $20 worth of food" at place X. The menu prices are the menu prices. You pay $10, and there's a $20 credit that goes on your bill.
Ditto with Mark Hurd. Although I guess the problem there is that the sexual harassment investigation turned nothing up. But that was still the excuse they used, wasn't it?
"So, your American "union quality" shower curtain rings that I have to buy for $5.00 so someone I don't care about can get a paid vacation, health insurance for his "domestic partner" and four 15-minute breaks a day plus 1-hr lunch will perform the exact same function as the $2.00 shower curtain rings that were made by 8-yr-old Tibetan girl. As I'm standing in Walmart at 2:00am looking for something to hang my shower curtain in my new apartment so I can go to work tomorrow freshly showered, guess which one I'm gonna buy. If you really need help figuring that one out, remember, all I see are shower curtain rings and a price tag, and they both will perform the exact same function."
What is to refute? This guy makes choices that indirectly hurt himself and everyone in the supply chain so he can save $3 on a nearly one-time purchase. Really no need to refute anything.
It DOES happen in some cases, you'd be unable to tell which it does and which it doesn't, and it's only one of a very long laundry list of reasons to not do business with that company.
No, you don't see that, because Walmarts are built in the middle of nowhere. Drive to the town center of the nearest town and tell me what you see... and no, they most likely won't be burned-out... but boarded up, quite possibly.

Libertarian = Republican, but also an asshole who doesn't want to be told what to do by anyone or care about his impact on anyone else
Card Member Services is the latest abuser.

It's OK to be a woman if you're a halfway decent looking ditzy idiot.

You often wonder some pretty idiotic things, eh?
I use gcalctool, you insensitive clod!

Yeah, so let's not EVEN do that much. Let's let them keep the money and start someplace else, right?

What are the facts? Let me quote you:
"So, your American "union quality" shower curtain rings that I have to buy for $5.00 so someone I don't care about can get a paid vacation, health insurance for his "domestic partner" and four 15-minute breaks a day plus 1-hr lunch will perform the exact same function as the $2.00 shower curtain rings that were made by 8-yr-old Tibetan girl.

It would be easier if you'd walk around with an "I'm a dickhead" shirt on so people can steer clear of you without having to hear you talk.
Because there's nothing to hate about Walmart? That's why you write this sarcastic comment?
