I was hit with ~100 mails each day a year ago when a couple of persons who had my address. I also tried contacting their isp and asked them to contact the users (thier email-quota was full since they sent so much crap). After five or so tries with no reply i grew tired of it and wrote an automated script that forwarded each mail i got to all addresses i could think of in that company, like webmaster@, postmaster@, root@, administrator@, admin@, all@, staff@ etc and after a few days the emails stoped comming.
I guess I used up some bandwidth but I felt a lot better:)
German, Swedish and Danish companies don't use the same. German use AG, Danish use AS and Swedish use AB and yes they are equivalent. Dunno about AS and AG but AB means "Aktie Bolag" which translated word by word means "Stock Companie"
You can quote case law all you want, but the fact is most people sue in instances like this to try and get rich, or cover their own financial losses for being stupid (or allowing their kids to be stupid). Lawyers support such lawsuits only because they can line their own pockets.
Couldn't a reason for all these lawsuits also be the high costs of medical care. West Europe is compareable with USA in wealth and in most countries there is the healthcare very cheap, hence no need for a lawsuit. Maybe it's just me but I've never heard of a lawsuit like that in Europe...
Fines for downloading music are $750 to $150k PER OFFENSE. Well, lives aren't worth as much as property. You're allowed to shoot someone for breaking in to your house, even without being threatend.
I'm from sweden and I have an evil planAs soon as the law gets passed I'll email Tomas BodstrÃm who's the man behind the suggestion. In that email i'll attatch an image of a friend who hasn't approved me sending his picture, ie an illegal image. Then he looks at the mail and of course his mailreader will cache it (ie he will save the image to his hdd) and then break his own law. Sure I could get a fine but imagine the headlines of a minister breaking his own law:)
You're missing that an over-qualified person typicaly would start looking for a better position quicker than a person who's 'just' qualified. Hireing someone costs money, you need to teach the person how your company works and therefor you want to keep your employers for a long time.
Like with fliping burgers, if you had an engineer and a teenager applying of course the teenager. (S)he is more likely to stay.
What's your source for this info? To me it seems like you're using CIA as source and that renders your 'facts' pretty worthless. CIA is working for it's survival and for a president who wants a war. Of course they'll claim Saddam is the great satan and that it's totaly worth killing 10s of thousands Iraqie citizens to kill him. Do you trust all marketing companies?
It's very important to remember that Bush sr, Clinton and Bush jr all have wanted war against Iraq, and they've all been against inspections. Amongst the things you 'forget' to mention is that CIA infiltrated UNSEC and used it to both collect info for the -98 desert fox attack and for trying to get an uprising -96. It's not like that has been helping UNSEC and later UNMOVIC. I'd suggest you read the book War Plan Iraq It takes up most of what you mention but from another point of view, a view that never gets through in normal media.
user-friendly? That ought to be quick for them, just another RTFM remark in the FAQ and a short line the the manual and it'll be done. Or has the attitude changed since i last checked?
For use of certain services, we may provide you with a pass code. This pass code is proprietary to and the property of American Airlines. However, you must take precautions to insure the security of your pass code. American Airlines assumes no responsibility for and will not be liable in the event that another person learns your pass code or uses your pass code to cause damage to you.
This feels like a typcial thing they'd want to hide. As I understand it: 1. AA owns the passcode 2. You are responsable for it's security 3. If someone hacks the AA db and uses the stolen passcode from there to book flights in your name AA takes no responsability.
So basicly what one would want to do is make sure that the security guys are good there or it's your ass that gets burned?

You make it sound like market economy is a part of nature, which i can assure you it's not.
I think you forget all the gov aid most large corps have had, either in tax cuts or direct money like the farmers.
Heck some companies, like united fruit, even get military aid.

3. Let's me know the current weather, and when a severe storm is in the area (and forecast with one click).
If you're so locked up in your room that you can't watch out through the window to get the current weather, why bother using a plugin to see it?
Uhhh, dude...
For someone who names themselves after characters in the film, you don't seem to know much about it, as you got it the wrong way round.
For someone refering to the film, when it's based on a book, you don't seem to know much about it, as they where brothers

It doesn't have to mean that you're a censored free speech hero you know, it could also be that your analogy is flawed and provoking.

I'm distinctly trying to stay away from the number pads with letters overloaded (such as phone pads) as they prove to difficult while driving

what about using your numerical remote control in the cell phone SMS fashion?
Becouse thoose small annoying devices don't have number pads with letters overloaded?

Does this mean that there will be no more apt_get interesting +5 posts in a while?
