I NEVER give out information over the phone to people that call me our my business. I explain as politely as possible that since I can not verify they are who they say they are (or what company), Ill have to contact them with the number I have on file. Much of they time they try to argue with "but why would I?" or "but I am, you can believe me, Chase bank is a very good bank!". I generally pay my bills on time, so most of the time it's not a big deal, even if I am late on a payment for what ever reason, I know who it is and when the payment is going out.
See after I rob a bank I spend the next few weeks going from crap-shack to crap-shack buyin something cheap and loading anon visa cards with the larger bills. Pick carefully, dont pattern and don't be lazy. Easy if somewhat time consuming way to launder money.
I put up my iphone1 for sale and was offered an AK47, hell yes I trade for that! Well ended up at this gangbangers trailer where on the floor next to the toddler watching Dora on a 50" plasma TV was a shotgun and bong. Anyway, turned out it was a SKS all beat up with the packing grease still on. I ended up trading for an OTV vest and the SKS. yeah, there is crime on Craigslist if that's what you're looking for. Not that I broke any laws, but this guys first words out of his mouth was " are you a cop?"
I'd buy something, not because I want to support wikileaks, more for the absurdity of it. Two things stop me; the big one it has his face as the brand, not some super 1337 logo, second I live in a military town and I would face getting my ass kicked by some 11B's, third (I know, I said two) I anti-support (yes I think he is an enemy of the USA, yes I think there should be state secrets, yes I also think there should SOMETIMES be leaks, but not like this).
So, I use Apple's at home and work. I do all sorts of photo and design work and some lightweight video. I am not even a regular Joe and I don't know what I would do differently with this port. I love the idea of how Firewire800 works and it works better transferring big files then USB 2, subjectively at least. We already have HDMI/DVI/DISPLAY ports, so where to implement this? I head about FireWire so long ago and they are just becoming available all over. Now we need a new highspeed port? This maybe putting the cart before the horse.
It's easy to take the high road and say "oh, yea they have the right to say what they want. First amendment and all that". But what you say has repercussions. So sure you can scream " I hate fags!". Just don't be surprised when someone punches you in the face at some point.
We have an emergency placement foster child and it is my sons responsibility to make sure she gets to her classroom. Sometimes she takes a little extra time to get to school just to be difficult. Besides that, we are talking 6 times in the last 3 months and not so late as to go into class time.
Yup. My son (3rd grade) was late 3 or 4 time in one month (he walks less then 500 yards to school) and his teacher sent home a note about how he would not be able to keep a job if those habits continue. I was a little blown away but the bizarreness of that line of reasoning.
I owned a small weekly paper. It cost me $500 to print 6000 copies in 2 color for a 4 page spread. Now it sort of true that it didn't cost much to print as $250 of my printing cost was the plate set-up. On top of that it was a further $125 per week to deliver to all 200+ pick-up locations. The whole reason I got out of it was that I just wasn't making enough money. Even with a free paper with decient readership it just was not possible to sell ads, even when they are a scant $25-$100 per month.
You can send a letter saying anything you want, that letter in and of itself is irrelevant (with some extreme exceptions). I got a letter demand for cash from a lawyer who said my "corporate vail would be pierced" and I would have to pay him anyway. Point of fact, other then some attempts to slander me and a quick consult with the international law firm my liability insurance payed for (they take it very seriously) I never heard from that lawyer again.
.....does it take to remove all the bloatware from a samll business computers? One reason why I moved out of desktop IT was that it was such a pain to setup desktops for office staff. Even as a consultant buying a laptop for a client and configuring it for their needs, I just didn't like charging my $120 an hour to delete the crap that came preinstalled.

It's one of be things I live most about EVERYTHING on Craigslist. I used it so it's worth almost as much as a used one.

Lawyers and patents. Sad but probably true.

Yup, I remember a grad student; her shirt read "I hate Democracy". She did not get the irony of it.

Do rare earth magnets work on SSD? Or does magnatise and destroy no longer work on today's tech?

And only one of those gets enough use at any one time to socially vindicate those that participate.
