This problem reinforces my aversion to automatic bill payment services that give companies the authority to draw money from my bank account at their discretion.
There is really nothing wrong with automatic bill payment. I do it with a secondary checking account. To which I add money when bills are coming due. They can't withdraw more than there is and I have yet to be charged an overdraft fee.
A third checking account if for my pay check and only my pay check. Everything comes out on pay day.
I am very tempted to set up a fourth account just for PayPal.
Good point. However, if they are not asking you for information that can be used to link directly back to you, then the database is waste of time. What will stop the mis-creants from stuffing junk into the data points? What will prevent someone with a low priority condition, to submit as multiple people in an attempt to up the priority of their condition.
Just who is going to control these kinds of databases and prevent the misuse of the data? Once a condition or a hereditary pre-disposition is determined, a subject could be denied medical coverage for that condition. It may well be anonymous today, but that can not be guaranteed into the future.
TOS had awful sets and bad acting, but superb writing. Remember The City on the Edge of Forever?
Wrath of Khan was the best of all of the episodes, regardless of screen size.
Kirk: Khan, you blood sucker! You're going to have to do your own dirty work now. Do you hear me? DO YOU?!? Khan: Kirk. Kirk, you still alive my old friend. Kirk: Still, old, friend. You've managed to kill just about everyone else, but like a poor marksman, you keep missing the target. Khan: Perhaps I no longer need to try Admiral. (The Genesis device is beamed to Khan's ship) Kirk: Khan. Khan, you've got Genesis, but you don't have me. You were going to kill me, Khan; you're going to have to come down here. You're going to have to come down here! Khan: I've done far worse than kill you. I've hurt you. And I wish to go on hurting you. I shall leave you as you left me, as you left her. Marooned for all eternity, in the center of a dead planet. Buried alive. Buried alive. Kirk: KHAN!..... KHAN!
The first season of TNG was acceptable for its promise, but it was worse than TOS. And it went down hill from there.
Voyager was watchable for the big boobs and tight outfit!
Deep Space Nine should have been left out there. It felt like a 7 year long episode. A TV series should be episodic, not a bloody life style choice. When the girlfriend wants to get frisky, I can't tell her to wait or "we will be lost, forever lost!"
In my company, HR makes NO decisions about candidates. They just make sure that all the 'i's and 't's get their things in the right place.
When I see higher level degrees I groan. Great, now I am going to hear a lecture about compilers. Yeah, but can you code? As it turns out, not very well.
You got that backwards. There is no greater insult than Trekker, what with that whole TNG/Deep Space crapola. That wasn't Star Trek. It was PC-fi.::shudder::
Outside of the US, the comma separates the number and the precision.
While of European parents, I never understood this. The decimal is more important the comma and the placement of the decimal point is more important than making a number readable. So, for me, 1,000,000.00 makes more sense than 1.000.000,00.
We don't even interview candidates that we suspect are online graduates where that degree is needed for the job. University Of Phoenix has really screwed their campus based students, if they even have any...
I used to buy some 30-50 CDs a year ( collection is around 500 or so ). I have been buying at the rate 2-3 a year over the past 8 years or so and I have NO pirated material. How come? Because it all sucks. American Idol garbage and Rap Crap.

Verizon is a corporation and the operator a mindless drone.
The sheriff was a real moron. "$20 you say, here is MY credit card number, jackass.".

So far, I have been succesful with a 9 year old and a 74 year old using Ubuntu. Does that mean that Ubuntu is not yet ready for prime pime?
Oops! You got me.

Enterprise? What the hell was that?
Yes.
Pure nonsense!

Since 1996? I'd say, more like 1969.
And Trekkers made me ashamed to admit that I was a fan. People learning a fictional language?!? WTF?!?
Yeah, I am a Trekie!

Thank god for that! This movie might actually be good!
hmmm... given those symptoms, it sounds like this would be a little more appropriate name; SLASHDOT FLU

Damn, is that ever true!

That is panty waste, not pantywaists.
I am using IE6 on Windows XP and it is frakin' ugly.
These pages render real crap under IE7 and Firefox.

They brought Steve back because the company was in a death spiral and desperate times called for desperate means. Steve is Apple and Apple is Steve.
I had to use a snow shovel to pick them all up. I never saw so many damn acorns. Bloody mess!
I for one, welcome our furry overlords!
