Sticking in Canada here, Rogers does something fairly similar, albeit the specifics with internet service are not shared. Their 'Better Choice Bundle' (bundling Cable, Internet, Cell Phones, Home Phone) has a verbal commitment of 2 years with the penalty being the percentage saved on each product capped at either $100 per product during the first year or $50 per product during the second year.
Where is this bundle signed? It's not. It's a verbal agreement that is documented by the representative on the account. Subsequent invoices reflect a terms of service page which refers to Rogers.com for the bundle terms and conditions. According to it, 'by using this service you agree to...'
Now mod me down, because I am not part of the group think and my ideas and opinions burn you eyes. Funny, but I see your opinion every time I tune into Fox News.
It always kills me to see the same black and white debate on the same issue. Absolutely nobody in America can stand politically in the middle, or concede that either side might have some valid point.
Where is that illegal? Unethical, yes. Illegal, no, unless they're actively killing the pet to do it. Taking old corpses and grinding them up into hot-dogs is perfectly legal.
You're right about it not making them money, though. Fluffy's Fingers doesn't have the greatest of rings...
I agree with you. I love AMD as the underdog, but when it comes down to it, I buy the processor for my needs. I needed hyperthreading when the dual cores weren't out, and the Prescotts overclocked nicely (contrary to what some people say about heating, if you do a proper cooling system, you can overclock about a gig). AMD was also not significantly cheaper for my target system.
As of 18 Dec, 2005, that's only an extra $1581 according to XE. Seems like a lot, but we're currently at $0.86 USD, up over $0.26 from a couple of years ago.
If you don't pay the company for the service, you waive your rights to the service. It really is that simple.
I don't know why people think they should be able to pay outside of the service agreement, or that Telus, Rogers, Bell, Fido are any different. All will suspend service if you don't pay.
That's what unions are intended to do; weed out the 'yes men'. When a company is not able to find 'yes men', it has to change the way it does business and give proper incentives and compensation to its employees.
Unfortunately, unions become their own serious problems... but that's for another day.
The Diebold on Ohio, Bush skipping out on Vietnam and Karl Rove leaking Valery Plame were spun to sound utterly fake as well. Funny thing about them... the evidence started appearing long after the articles were written.
I doubt he was 100% serious, but I wouldn't put it past him to state it.
And if this guy starts "telling off" his managers, he will be sent back to India, and another "yes man" will be brought in.
Can you tell me how that doesn't validate his point? You're saying that because you don't fear being deported (like a natural born citizen would), that you have no problem telling your boss off, but that those from India need to be "Yes Men" to stay in the country. Regardless of whether they are all 'Yes Men' by nature, what you're saying is: they have to be to have the jobs here. Thus they ARE willing to bend over for the company and thus ARE more attractive to the company as employees.
Just as an explanation, when the 5-Methyl-C is deaminated to T, it is harder for the repair machinery to recognize the error and so the sequence may then remain as CTGACTGTATC.
Regular C deaminates to Uridine, which gets fixed right away. CG sequences tend to get methylated more frequently unless they are in CpG islands in the upstream promotor regions...
CTG|ACT|GCA|TC We could be out of synch with the frame... CT GAC TGC ATC C TGA CTG CAT C
But I'm noticing a concern with the GC being present there. It would not be this sequence that is all so important... GC has a tendency to have 5-methyl-cytosines which are deaminated to thymidine. There's no way that strand would last through the generations of mutation in offspring.
Maybe that's why the highlanders are dying out...?:-)

Welcome to Canadian telecommunications companies.

George? Is that you?

What will the "think of the children" crowd rag on now? Movie rentals?
Absolutely! Little Timmy should not be allowed to rent anything R+, be it Matrix Reloaded or Granny's Panties 7. There's absolutely NO difference!
Why can't we hate Clinton AND Bush?
I just want a reader/writer that doesn't use the same amount of memory as Premier.
Are we perfect? No. But where I should move when I renounce my U.S. citizenship, North Korea, Libya, China, or Iran?
That's like saying that living in a trash can isn't perfect, but it's better than living in the dump. Wouldn't you rather move into a home?
Does that mean they have to throw out all those Iraq-Al Qaeda links provided by Ms Cleo?
Where is that illegal?

Haven't you ever heard of a tissue?
Mod points, where art thou?

I don't know... he's doing pretty well in my eyes.

She had a GSM phone; they don't get cloned. The article references back to 1998 issues with analog. The journalist distorts the facts pretty well.

Hell yes. I miss taking down that speedy Worluk
Matrix Release Date: 31 March 1999
Columbine: April 20, 1999
Parental Blame: Dateless.
Columbine featured kids strolling into school and opening fire almost exactly as Neo did in the elevator scene in the Matrix.
Didn't get that movie off the shelves.

Maybe you'd have spelled it correctly.
