i think you are alluding to the right points. the registraion stuff is mostly to assist in selling ad space. Frankly I do not mind the registrations, i have a seperate online identity for such situations.
yep i had to do that for work once as well...we just called the credit card people up and told them it was a mistake that services were never rendered. we never heard from Iomega or were charged again.
One I really didn't like was ATI charging me $240 for an ATI AIW card replacement. I was in college and didn't have the money to float that a month. ATI was no help except to provide tracking. Once on a UPS truck, charge disputed and removed. ATI did call and I told the asshole I couldn't afford their bullshit. I said you have my name, phone number and address, if you don't get your card back come and hunt me down. Idiots
K-12 math and science is poor in the U.S. Also poor are employees perceptions of the goals of a businees. The goal of a business is NOT to give graduates jobs. The goal of ANY business is TO MAKE MONEY! I've been unemployeed and I have been employed. The fact is that outsourcing work is a compeditive advantage for business and in the log run benifits all. Trade whether goods or services is a good thing. Ask any economist!
yes and one can still burn all this to a audio cd and re rip it back to MP3/OGG/ etc. If one can hear the music one can decrypt and copy it. its that simple.
the parallel i see here is when my credit card cuts off my card b/c they suspect it may be being used by others. I like this even if I have to call them when at a computer show racking up component purchases. a little conveinence is acceptable espically when shutting down infected pc's helps everyone else on the network.
Yes but work can buy all of those for "work" things. Can even get them to buy the pPod/bBop software too. Cannot get them to buy iPod or any "MP3" player.

If he had them re-programed to call their own house number or some non-existant number then I buy that its not terrorism. But he set this hack to dial 911 and endanger public safety. No matter what you call it, besides completely stupid, he deserves punishment. Let the courts decide the outcome and applicability of the charges. I for one hope he gets a decent punishment the thward future incidents like this.
The full threat was to have my sister-in-law Senior VP of a PR firm have it posted on TechTV, C|Net and Slashdot. Shit she could have gotten it in the TechLife section of the Philadelphia Inquirer if I wanted. Sometimes you do have to threaten.
yes it seems like a good fourm. I didn't know/think about better business beaura till I saw a post here. Had I known their current unsatisfactory rating I would have never bought the product.
And I hope the hosting companies learn that when the FBI says jump you not only ask how high but how fast. Hope the FBI gets who their after. Hopefully some spammer that swindled some senators mom-on-welfare out of her life savings. Go FBI.
Good. As a consumer I like this FCC mandate despite the possible cost increase. However I don't see it costing that much more and with competition, I do not see prices going up more than pennies. When Vonage gets my area code I am getting their services.
the could have EA scale sim city to sim earth and add in "the sims" to the mix. Let the gamers of the world do the simulating. All recorded on army game servers.
being able to prove something did stop SCO from suing IBM. your argument if flawed. but this isn't about facts either. if suing SCO over postal fraud was a good idea, plausable, IBM and its lobbyist would have started that action from day one. since that hasn't happened to date, i doubt it will.
Also, it is a bad precident to set having the postal service go after "grey area" fraud mailings. I am sure someone can go find some "grey" mailing IBM has sent in the past and make up "proof".
I just would love to have pursued that law degreee to become a patent attorney as i wanted when i was in H.S. The billable hours must be staggering here. (some say thank god) My dad said I could do that if I want but it wouldn't be on his tab, I promptly decided (a paid) engineering degree was my calling.
IBM's lobbyists are a helluva lot better paid and effective than SCO's will be...that's a place where SCO will lose in the FUD war. Can't bullshit a bullshiter..
Silly artsy types... Three words my friends...Class Action Lawsuit! You don't have to be right but the movie + bad PR should bring that $99 battery replacement cost even lower.

So when the joe user uses linux instead of windows; linux will have in addition to superuser, stupiduser. nice.
