I had a bad experience with SoftLayer in which they screwed up the hardware and cost me $20K at the end of the day and they wouldn't cooperate on getting everything resolved.
It amazes me that people who say they support creationism also state that the earth must only be 6000 years old. The Bible only states that man has been on the earth for about 6000 years, but does not give an age to the earth and the universe. All it says is "In the begining God created the heavens and the earth"
Man and other life on earth came long after that 'begining'.
Why post a story that sounds like Evil Corporation is battling innocent hackers, when in reality it's a company fighting THEFT of service. If this were on the cable side of things, it'd be illegal. Amazing how people can forget the ethics of things.
It doesn't matter if there's a computer involved or not, it's still stealing.
You know, that's funny. I remember hearing on the radio that they specifically said IE didn't have that weakness.
I also remember thinking at the time, "everytime there's a new IE exploit, they never say 'this doesn't affect people running Netscape', yet now, here is a Netscape problem and they specifically mention 'does not affect IE'" So much for spin.
Companies that work on gov't contracts have even more stringent(sp?) guidelines when it comes to OT pay. Some have to even pay OT on anything over 8 hours a day AND 40 a week.
It still seems like everyone here is missing the point. The law is the law. Companies who ignore that and then pressure their employees to go along with that because they don't know any better doesn't change what the law is.
If you're in the US, that's just blatantly illegal. It amazes me how there are employers out there who will break the law on wage stuff, and coerce their employees to go along with it, and the employees don't even realize their helping, and screwing themselves in the process. If you work 12 hours in a day, and your employer makes you sign a timesheet saying you worked only 8, you screw yourself. Furthermore, if there is an some type of work related accident during those 4 'off the clock' hours, you might also lose out on the employer paying workers compensation, which they are supposed to do if the accident was work related or at work. And they'll use your time card that you signed against you.
As I've been reading these comments, I'm supprised that, for a group who can tear through kernal source code, no one has gone down to the public library and read up on labor law.
This taken from Yahoo's email help desk from my account: "Can I use other Email (POP3) clients, like Eudora or Netscape Mail, to access my Yahoo! Mail account? As a web-based email service, Yahoo! Mail does not currently offer access to POP or SMTP servers. This means that you will not be able to use an external email client such as Netscape Mail, Eudora, or Outlook to access your Yahoo! Mail account. " I have checked Hotmail in the past and they are the same way. Granted, both all three services let you access pop accounts that are external and read mail through them, but USA.net is the only one I have found that lets you get your USA.net email from their pop service in to your own email client.
USA.net was free for years, and really, the only options they are charging for are POP access and email forwarding, something that not even hotmail and yahoo.mail offer. And these two services can be used and allow the user never to see usa.net's ads which is what pays for the service. No bother, if you have an Amex card, you can still use those two services free, they just move you to the amexmail server, which they host, and you keep your usa.net address. I've been a happy user of usa.net for years now, no problems for the price.
I've been wanting to do something like this, but finding hardware, inexpensively to do 2 lines hasn't been easy. I know Dialogic is supposed to be the stuff, but about two years back, I saw an ad for some vendors making inexpensive dialogic compatible hardware. Around $400 for a two line board. I'd love to be able to conference two lines together, do voicemail, etc, but need more than one line, and I'm not wild about the voicemodem approach. I think it needs to be a dsp board!
It's pretty awesome, goes into some more detail, and has some graphs/pix illustrating the differences in the technologies. Makes it a little easier to understand. USA Today kind of boiled it down as much as they could.

I'd be curious which company this is.

Please. I got tired of Enterprise when they did more time traveling than Doctor Who!
That's why about 15 years ago we did this:

Sold posters and tshirts of it with the words 'We came, We saw, We conquered."
Been thinking of starting up the tshirts again now that our fav monopoly is back and kept the same death star logo.
MS conducts themselves as a bully.
Nobody likes a bully.
No one on here suggested checking out http://www.anthro.com for all the DIY furniture?

Check out the book Social Phobia, available on Amazon.com. You'll find it a good read, I did.
Well, two messages saying the cgi is down, but the exploit is still working on this end. Caching?
