I always ask them for thier same information. The clerk will say sometimes, something like "why are you asking me for that information?" to which I reply, why are you asking me for my information for?
The ones that don't say anything just stop, get the hint, and ring me up.
I think that the problem is caused by the telco's. Trying to price each other out of business, trying to see who can be the biggest loss-leader they have priced themselves out of business. Now they are scrambling to make money on bandwidth, but now there's a problem; Consumers want high-speed internet access, and they want it cheap. As my mother, who is addicted to yard sales says "You can always go down, but you can never go up."
Shouldn't the government be stepping in at some point? The FCC maybe? Who knows what agency will think that it's their job to look after and police the internet. Does anyone REALLY think that the free and open internet as we know it is at risk?
People have strong, but divergent opinions on this. The absolute minimum being 96 x 96 pixels. Strong support is expressed for 128 x 128, however a vocal group supports bigger still.
I think that this a a classic example of "what goes around comes around" saying.
Remember how much it really costs to produce a CD. Now think of how much you pay, and that even after you buy it, because of copy protection you might not be able to get it on your girlfriend's ipod. Now that I can download almost any song, any album and any music video I want makes up for the years of looking at CD's in the record store and not having enough to buy one. At 13 anything more then 10 dollars was out of my price range.
Music is art. Artists in it for money (sellouts) don't last. I feel that art should be free. Sure, the artists need money, I understand that, however, artists make thier money from touring and endorsments.
Personally, I don't have to REALLY worry. I love Ubernet. (Google it)
From this CNN article, and my buddy Pete at JHAPL, "The New Horizons spacecraft will be the fastest ever launched, more than 10 times faster than a speeding bullet.".
That is faster then superman.
I know many consultants that rarely use tech support services. Not bragging, simply stating something I happened to notice about others in my field.
While I have limited experience in environments larger then a few hundred users, I can't imagine anyone is doing anything that goes beyond the scope of documentation.
Sure, I understand support for desktop users, that's a must, but for Administrators? It's my job to know what is going on at all times. If I can't fix it or get my hands on information that helps me solve the problem quickly, I'm not doing my job. I just don't believe that any support department can give me any information that I can't find on the Internet or via another consultant I know.
Maybe there should be a slashdot poll regarding support services usage...
The last story before this, about the EFF outliving its usefulness? I don't think so. As long as there are people that want to stifle free speech, be in censorship or whatever, the EFF will have a job to do.
He points out sooooo many short comings of windows. When he was talking about memory, he basically says that they needed 64bit so that they can just throw more memory at thier problems.
I was thinking the other day that hardware makers should be a little scared about OSS as well. I mean, now that you can run a nice GUI on hardware that is 4 years old without issues, how are they going to sell newer and faster?
I don't think he washed his hair that day. A true geek.
Note To Mods; I didn't read ANY comments, so be kind.
I support the general idea that CC shouldn't be getting a patent on something as simple as this.
I think, however that you lost sight of the big picture. Making Money. I support Open Source, but what takes priority, the client with 5k in his hand asking for a website, or my to-do list for my blog software, or another OS project.
Business today thrives on one company working against the others, being first to market still carries some value, I think that this is what CC is doing. Plus, If I'll say, If I see a concert at the Verizon Wireless Arena, and want to get a copy of the show, I'll buy one.
Maybe I miss the point, Maybe I'm too tired for this now.......
VZ reserves the right to terminate your service at a moments notice, if it is believed that you could possibly be doing something that could damage any of thier equipment or cause any other legit users problems.
And no, when you move from d-tone provider to d-tone provider the ILEC is still responsible for installing the lines and what not, they can deny the request for services on your pair, if you owe them money, or what what not. They can also hold number and not release them, so that you can't port your number to another carrier.
The TelCom Act wasn't enacted for ILECS to lose money, it was enacted to ensure that you have a choice in d-tone.
i saw it last night. I disliked the move for the following reason - it was hyped too much. I mean - i thought that the first one was bad enough...did they really need to make a second? and now i hear that thiers talk of a third? its like blair witch two. give me a break..the first one was so good because it wasn't produced with a lot of equipment..it was a very lost cost movie - that lack of production was what made the movie good....sigh - i guess that i'll just have to stick to the movies that i think'll be cool and not what some overweight man in his 50's tell me.:-)

People have strong, but divergent opinions on this. The absolute minimum being 96 x 96 pixels. Strong support is expressed for 128 x 128, however a vocal group supports bigger still.
This article states that the most mobile users use thier devices for email and weather not browsing websites.

My honest first impression was that ti was a spyware site, you know, the ones that look useful, but are really just there for the sake of serving ads?

Support?
In my years of computing, I have only had to call on professional support services, two times.
Now a days I just subscribe to the mailing list and spend some time on Google.
Maybe they are using MySQL in other ways, but I can't imagine in such a way that they need any amount of support.
Dammit! I wasted my mod points! +1
