Wow.
Do you realize the legal implications that has? Essentially, a Sprint tech employee could become a thief. He could B&E anyone he wants to on that list, and if he got caught, he could hold up that document and say "I'm looking for our Sprint equipment."
Granted, this is a broad view. The guy would be arrested for something. That's a given, but that could get the guy out of any B&E charge.
Doesn't it seem a little odd that someone went to the trouble of inventing an INJECTION to cure the HICCUPS?! Next they'll have a pill to cure random sneezing. Honestly, if you want my dollar, invent a spray that will make people lose thier voices. Be damned if I have to listen to a couple of idiots talk through Dracula 2k again.
Yes, but do remember, the Phillipines is a predominately Catholic area, so naturally, most of them are going to go with the Church for thier net access, the same way they trust thier `souls` with said Church. It looks an awful lot like they are getting a stranglehold. And I won't get on the topic of Internet censorship.
First off, AOL is not an ISP.. it is a dial-up service, like Prodigy or Compuserve used to be. It merely has ACCESS to the Web and IRC and such things.
Secondly, the reason they can get away with that in the Phillipines as opposed to in the US is for one reason. Out here in the US, independant thought is somewhat encouraged. You're allowed to be different here. In the Phillipines, everyone is Catholic. Everyone. And I guarantee that most, if not all of them, will say "I was raised that way." if you were to ask them why they belong to that religion.
Of course, why the Church is dealing with the "evil" Internet, I don't know.
