  1. Re:'may dissuade customers from buying items from on Amazon: We Can Ship Items Before Customers Order · · Score: 0

    Again, how is this modded 2?! You do get a real person who does have the power to do anything, I once mistakenly downloaded a game for the wrong platform, I asked for a refund and a blacklist of my key. They couldn't blacklist my key but I got a refund anyway. If I've ever gotten a defective product, which happened ONCE, they paid return shipping. Buy a kindle book and don't like it? Refund. Buy an audible book and don't like it? Refund. I honestly think amazon does have the best customer service out there today. Also could you please name even one large corporation out there where you get to talk with a charming, professional, customer service agent? Extra points if you can name one where you can talk to such a person right off the bat without having to jump through a bunch of computerized menu hoops. I very much doubt you can name one, except for y'know amazon.

    How is this modded up to 2?! I know it's anecdotal but I've never had a broken package and I can always get someone on online chat if I need. Amazon has the best customer service I've ever experienced. It's not really too visible but you find help on the bottom of the page then click Problem With an Order? then contact us on the left side. From here you can send an email, get a call, or chat with customer service.

    I'm in the process of making a coin! I named it HLC or HighlanderCoin, it's halves every 500000 and has an initial block value of 0.000001 HLC. Best part is, there can be only 1!

    I was in the process of writing a post about how physical protection means nothing and how the data would would have to be online to be useful anyway when it hit me. Backups. IMO this doesn't make sense as a "keep people out of my data" thing as much as a "I can't lose my data no matter what" thing.

  14. Re:The urban poor subsidized the rich for a while on FCC Rural Phone Subsidies Reach As High As $3,000 Per Line · · Score: 0

    I don't see how a fair tax would do much of anything except lower tax revenue (unless jacked up to a very high percentage). A much more fair tax would be a flat income tax (with capital gains counted as regular income) with a certain "poverty" base being exempt. example: 20K poverty line (I'm just spitballing) and 10% tax. person A made 20K and pays no taxes. person B made 25K, so 25K - 20K = 5K *.1 = $500 person B pays $500 taxes. person C made a million + a million in capital gains (income) so 2M - 20K = 1.98M * .1 = $198K person C pays $198K in taxes.

    "The chinaman [protocol] is not the issue here, Dude." If google gives up data to the NSA who gives a shit about the encryption involved in transporting that data to a google server?
