  1. Howto -Telemarketer going 'Postal' on Fighting Telemarketers with Technology · · Score: 1



    Question, "Is a Telemarketer going Postal a victimless crime?"

    This works for me.

    To the Telemarketer I ask, "Can the Telemarketer can see their supervisor?"

    They say, "Yes".

    I then say, "Please repeat after me."

    "There is the source of ALL my problems."

    I then hang up.

    It's amazing, but I don't get any repeat phone calls. uhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. ;-)

  2. Consider what's trying to be accomplished here. on GRE Computer Science Exam Canceled For '02 · · Score: 1



    Has anyone considered that the current state of computing is still in its beginings? There are literally a universe of computing questions that beg to be explained. We do need more creative minds working on these solutions. When a student of computers has the energy to find the answers to these tests, then there is one more thinking mind avaible that will be given a chance to answer what we all do not understand. My experience has shown there are easyer ways to get into college than cram-study for a computer exam.

    But one thing does strike me as very odd. Are our education standards for computers enough to take this computer g.r.e. test and pass?

  6. Grounds to be Sued by. . . on Directors Counter-Sue Movie Bowdlerizing Company · · Score: 1



    So if I get up during a performance, I can be sued for NOT seeing all the performance?

    Better yet, how about I don't read chapter 3 of a book because it starts out on a subject matter I can't stand. Am I liable?

    If I get paid the same regardless of how much content is censored at a performance place, so what.

    If I got paid for doing the same amount for doing less; Less is good.

    I think impossing a creator's perversity on me and mine is a violation of my civil rights under the first amendment; Also.
