  5. Horrible Idea! on Sun Discovers Dumb Terminals · · Score: 4, Interesting

    its like low income housing as opposed to a nice apartment complex.

    most people take care of a nice apartment (there are exceptions) but low income housing is almost always in shambles.

    if you have your own workstation & cubicle/office you will have a sense of pride, like you would if you rented a nice apartment. you take care of it and it takes care of you. the people that had it before you more than likely took care of it and the management knew what was wrong with each unit and who the trouble makers were.

    the first come first serve grab a PC would be like low income housing, you would have very little chance of knowing what kind of person was there before, much less the time before that, the management doesnt really care, or is off site and there is very little pride in where you live.

  15. slamming? on Bulkregister Sues Verisign Over Marketing Campaign · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The mailings are nothing more than domain "slamming"

    obviously the writer doesnt have a clue as to what slamming is

    I used to work at WorldCom, slamming is switching long distance without the customers permission/knowledge, if the customer returns this card to VeriSign, then they give permission, its not VeriSigns fault that the customer is clueless...
