  2. School vouchers on Grade School And High School, School Free · · Score: 1

    This is a company run by Bill Bennet (sp) and he is a firm believer in school vouchers if you look at the price structure of this program it will almost match that proposed amount (2000 - 3000) a year It looks like this is targeted at this

  3. Re:No they can't on Can the BSA Investigate Your office for Piracy? · · Score: 1

    I remember a case about 3 or 4 years ago the church of Scientology was able to raid some ones home for what they considered copyrighted material that this guy was hosting on his web server it was not the police who did the search but the lawyers for the church who did the search there was a big up roar about this

    since this would be a civil proceeding I think the rules on a search would be different

    I wonder if in accepting the user agreement you have already given the right to search

  4. you should try managing LD on a Corporate level on The Joys Of Big Business; or Why AT&T Long Distance Sux · · Score: 1

    Being the person who know about things electronic some how I was put in charge of the phone systems here and told to get a better rate on our long distance for our call center

    I get the better rate and began the process of switching and was told ever thing was OK only to get a bill later in the month form both companies when I called to follow up I was told that World com would not release our numbers to the new carrier because we had what they called a UBR (unsatisfactory Business relationship) because we still had an out standing balance after explaining we would have balance until the switch was made as the phones where going to be used during the switch after much pleading I found out that they had a two week "window" after the bill was paid and they would release the numbers in that window if the order was place by the new carrier then WHAT!! So I tried to get the timing right so our order was placed in the window needles to say it has been 4 months and all the number still have not been switched yet

    This seems like a scam to me but we are not big enough to make blip an any ones customer service screen they could care less we need our LD and they know it if we don't pay we lose our 800 numbers
