Damn, I would be willing to pay for a decent service in the UK. Oh well, time will tell...
Did you really read the FAQ?
Is LxMSuite available outside the USA?
TV listing information is currently limited to the USA. If there is enough demand for listing information outside of North America, we can make DataDirect::TV data available to European users.
If you brush it off and don't contact them how would they know there is Demand?
"A lot of people saying how can you do this? My children love these movies. Why can you not let them go see it?"
The kids can go see it. Their parents/guardian just need to be present.

This is good anyway. Last thing I want is another 7 year old girl screaming behind me like when Vader was pounding away on Luke in Cloud City during ESB (when it re-released back in theaters years ago). Of course it did add to the effect.
Well a laser wasn't the only thing used to warn the vehicle.
Focus on the whole picture not the nitpicking ie what you want to complain about.
Let's see:
Spot light - check Laser - check Warning shots - check Stadium Crowd to switch large crowd made sign from Run Forrest to STOP - oops crap missed that one.
I don't care about any political bearings of any of the players. Only of those involved and their saftey.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. That can be agreed on. It is also a shame and that can be agreed on too.
Honestly you do NOT mess around in a situation like this. As a soldier you can't just say "Oh look at that speeding car lets see what they want". You have to take action and it sounds to me like procedure was followed to the best of ability.
Communication could have been better. The driver could have been smarter. The vehicles shouldn't have been moved. Though I'm glad they were as more could have died.
That can be agreed on. Well no cause it doesn't matter because Americans are at fault automatically.
Just think about this. She was released. Why the need for any urgency?
The one thing I think everyone missed is this:
Sgrena claimed that her kidnappers, just before releasing her, had warned her that the American forces would be a danger to her.
Perhaps she had some form of Stockholm Syndrome and caused the driver to react differently when the warning shots happened?
Why on earth would the Americans want to intentionally harm her? Oh that's right the kidnappers said so so it must be true.
If that is true why then was medical treatment given to her and those involved as a priority over all else?
Anyway...
You know people are nitpicking when you read things like:
Giuliana Sgrena was hit, in the shoulder according to the U.S. version, but in an upper limb, according to Italian journalists.
So they already have an axe to grind. Eventually the truth will come out though no one will want to hear it. Both sides were at fault.
You are right about the false positives. They are way too relaxed at times trying to clear the tag from going off.
I would stop an complain to the manager plus when you get home call the head office. Throw a fit and to end it don't shop there anymore if they can't come to a solution.
Running off isn't going to help you'll find a cop on your doorstep waiting for you to get home. They do after all have cameras in the parking lot...
How about naming the article title "Pro and Cons for the Pro" instead. It seemed to just go on and on about how bad Firefox is or how equal in unreliability it is.
Actually I think there are three planes in that one. One near the runway. One behind it. Then one way behind it just right at the island. All in a line.
and all because of a few spam complaints that weren't dealt with quickly enough
Define not quickly enough. If we're talking 24-36 hours max is not quick enough then you have a valid complaint. Otherwise you don't. Spam problems need to be handled quickly and I'm sure your provider "has" a no spam policy.
The other question is what has your provider done to fix the problem? Obviously not a lot if your complaining here. I've gotten blocked by my share of RBLs cause of dain bramaged spammers popping on and open relays (years ago). It's not that hard to get unblocked you actually just have to care. Oops probably shouldn't have said that now the secret is out.
It's been said before. If your running a mail server make sure the IP it sits on has a good and responsive abuse department. It saves a whole lot of trouble.
A bunch of them have the requirement to make sure that commercial providers aren't intending on launching service. Which is of course a good thing as businesses shouldn't have to compete with the governemt. Of course...
Companies that are regulated by the state shouldn't be permitted to run businesses that aren't regulated by the state.
It's hard to ignore the fact that a Bell run ISP has a huge advantage over a non-bell run one. Of course public utlity commisions seem to ignore that and can't make the connection.
Want to see it in action call your local ISP and ask them how much for a T1. Then call the Bell ISP and ask them. Huge price difference. It's not cause the local ISP is greedy it's cause to the Bell the Internet is a commodity to keep customers and it's worth the loss. Plus to a Bell what is one more strand of wire?
The real question is did the customer have the service turned on?
From vonage's website:
911 Dialing Is Not Automatically Set Up for Use. You Must Pre-Activate 911 Dialing. You May Decline 911 Dialing. We STRONGLY urge you to activate 911 Dialing. Even if you don't plan to make 911 calls from your Vonage line, there may be others who do. You can't plan in advance for all situations. For example, a residential line could be used by babysitters, young children, in-laws, and others who may need to make 911 calls. If you decline 911 from Vonage, you or others will not be able to call 911 from your Vonage line. Don't play games with your safety. Register today
Of course that really doesn't matter. The fact is it didn't work and that's enough for someone to sue.
It would be interesting to know if they had the service turned on or not. Of course it should be on by default...
"It's going to be hard for our filmmakers to continue to make unfettered documentaries when they know going in that 10 percent of the market" will reject them
Last I checked you're not forced to go see a movie if you don't want too. They will potentially loose the 10% regardless if the movie is shown there or not. The theatre/museum knows it's market and their 10% is probably more like 90% of the money they make. It's a no brainer.
Oh never mind I forgot. If you disagree with something your still suppose to support it with your hard earned money. I'm sure people will line up.
Besides the invasion of privacy that would be used and abused this isn't any different than a standard tax. In fact it would be a far better tax if they had taken it to logical conclusion.
Lots of factors decide wear and tear on the roadways besides the distance traveled. There is also the weight of the vehicle to consider. That would easily be tracked with this.
So your light weight car that gets 40mpg weighs less than the Giant 9mpg SUV. Who does more wear and tear to the road ways? The taxes would need to account for that.
That requires VeriSign to actually do something and cuts into their profits.
Look at the mess known as the domain registry and how much junk information is found in there. I'm sure the license for the SSL has the same requirements (and no teeth) just like the DNS registry does.

That is just great. Moviefone doesn't list one theatre in my area. I always have to go to that movie threatre companies page to see it's listings.
So long AOL. Competition is a good thing.
It's nothing new that commercial groups are writing legislation. It happens all the time.
The prequels to Star Wars should never have been.
What is it with Star Trek fans and Star Wars?
Envy maybe? Smaller amounts of material and a huge fan base.
Yes excellent work.
Hopefully the mainstream news sources I saw will report this just as they reported the problem. I'm not holding my breath though.
when researchers jump the gun and release vulnerability details before a patch is available.
Jump the gun? Oh that's right telling Microsoft there's a security flaw and waiting months before going public is jumping the gun after all.
Gotta love these articles. Nice spin make the researchers look like the bad guys...
At least now we'll get to hear about flaws quicker and that they don't have a patch or a work around.
"A lot of people saying how can you do this? My children love these movies. Why can you not let them go see it?"

What is thy bidding, my master?
When you do things right people will wonder if you've done anything at all.
Well a laser wasn't the only thing used to warn the vehicle.
Focus on the whole picture not the nitpicking ie what you want to complain about.
Let's see:
Spot light - check
Laser - check
Warning shots - check
Stadium Crowd to switch large crowd made sign from Run Forrest to STOP - oops crap missed that one.
This is a sad and unfortunate incident.
I don't care about any political bearings of any of the players. Only of those involved and their saftey.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. That can be agreed on. It is also a shame and that can be agreed on too.

Telephone companies should not be permitted to own/operate any Internet services.
When a company that has regulations are allowed to provide services that are unregulated it always leads to unfair business practices.
Besides the invasion of privacy that would be used and abused this isn't any different than a standard tax. In fact it would be a far better tax if they had taken it to logical conclusion.

I also not going to go on record to say that they (meaning google) could go to Windows servers and their TCO would drop in half
You'd better not. I'm sure they've already done the math.
