    Take a look at the 5 cases, they are linked to in the article. I like this one:

    Federal Trade Commission, Plaintiff v. ELH Consulting, LLC, also d/b/a Proactive Planning Solutions; Purchase Power Solutions, LLC; Allied Corporate Connection, LLC; Complete Financial Strategies, LLC; 3Point14 Consulting, LLC, also d/b/a Elite Planning Group; Key Tech Software Solutions, LLC, also d/b/a Key One Solutions; Emory L. Holley IV a/k/a Jack Holley, individually and as the sole member of ELH Consulting, LLC; Lisa Miller, individually and as the sole member of Allied Corporate Connection, LLC, Complete Financial Strategies, LLC, and Purchase Power Solutions, LLC; Rares Stelea, individually and as the sole member of 3Point14 Consulting, LLC; and Justin Journay, individually and as the sole member of Key Tech Software Solutions, LLC, Defendants.

    Over the 5 cases, in addition to the various corporate entities they name 12 individuals.

    /. 's not your personal army.
    But kudos to any concerned citizens out there that opt to give any or all these people the vicious interminable screwing that karma requires.

    Probably not. It was probably just a good voice acting gig to her, that help paid the bills.

    OOOOHHHHHHHHH she had BILLS to PAY!

    This is made even funnier by the fact that Connery was Zed in Zardoz, which had the catechism :

    The gun is good. The penis is evil. The penis shoots seeds, and makes new life to poison the Earth with a plague of men, as once it was, but the gun shoots death, and purifies the Earth of the filth of brutals. Go forth ... and kill!

    New E17 Snapshot (76819) Sep 18, 2012 at 03:00 PM

    I'm sure there are people out there saying "There's no way two E17 snapshots will ever come out on the same day." My response is as follows:

    This time, in addition to featuring the usual improvements of LESS CRASHING and IMPROVEMENTS TO NOT CRASHING, I'm pleased to announce some other changes, though this is not in any way a comprehensive list, and not all the changes were made by me:

    • DND no longer causes random hangs in some situations
    • Crashes now occur much less often when running executables from E17 as seen since last night
    • Filemanager will no longer sometimes crash when changing directories as seen since yesterday
    • Filemanager tooltips now properly hide when leaving the source icon of the tooltip

    and then some more rain.
    Then it's still raining on Saturday.
    Now the rain from the backcountry is draining your way.


    Mix in the fact that you're not in Florida, so : a) all that rain can't just wash out to sea, and b) the land is less than flat, collecting the rain in low areas, causing every little creek to be engorged and turgidly overlfow it's banks. You might have a bit of a problem.

    Given you complete lack of technical understanding, I would suggest that you stop wasting people's time on Slashdot and go somewhere more suited to your mental level.

    By accepting personal funds from Microsoft for the deal with Nokia which should have never happened, Elop has brought Nokia to its knees. He is directly responsible for the layoffs and terminations of thousands of Nokia employees. He has demonstrated that he cares more about his pocketbook than others' jobs or the future of the company.

    Here I was going to make a smartass remark about Nokia finally adopting modern American corporate standards, only to wiki up that Stephan Elop is a Canananadian. How mortifying for you polar bear buggerers.
