We were recently married and they failed her background check on her name on file with the credit bureaus not matching the name on her application. They also dragged ass fixing the problem and had a policy in place to NOT notify they potential employer that they had made a mistake.
Sorry that it didn't turn out in your wifes favor, but how is this a mistake? If Choicepoint is told to look at records under a certain name, how would they know to look under a different name for your wife if the prospective employer didn't tell them to?
After the gorillas kill the crabs sent to kill the herpes sent to kill the flu sent to kill the acne sent to kill the hiv sent to kill the cancer, they'll just freeze to death once winter comes.
With Havenco pretty much abandoning their "host what you want except kiddie porn" policy post-9/11, whos to say that they won't roll over if the **AAs come knocking?
Seems to me it could be spoofed, but I Am Not An Expert. What if you have a small radio transmitter in your pocket to swamp the table's RFID transmitter? Maybe read the RFID at one table, and play it back later to spoof some other table?
Doing this in a place with more cameras than patrons, heavy security, a network of private detectives (Griffin Investigations), and the most sophisticated facial recognition packages around makes this a fools game at best.
If you value your kneecaps, don't pull this in a casino.
Its not that she doesn't get paid for it, just that she should discontinue providing the service when it becomes apparent that the patient isn't helping themselves and is just becoming an exchange of money for a waste of time.
Also, if the new design is flawed or not working out, will the Chinese government admit it or go through great lengths to cover it up?
Foreign Visitor: How is that new reactor going? Government: Perfect, the answer to all our power needs. Foreign Visitor: Why are those people bald? Government: Ummmm, those are Charlie Brown impersonators, we can't get enough of that lovable Charlie Brown. Foreign Visitor: and these three legged dogs? Government: We love that Alice in Chains album too. Nothing else to see here, move along.
The gist of your post is that people think they're owed free support everytime they hose their machines with spyware since they paid for it and think that "obviously the problem wasn't fixed the first time around".
My fiance is a speech pathologist and told me about an ethical point of her profession that could be applied here. She cannot, within ethical guidelines, take money for services rendered to someone who continuously violates their plan for treatment. For example, people who smoke while receiving voice therapy, people who don't practice their speech as they're told, generally people who make no effort to help themselves.
A boilerplate agreement that customers who don't run antivirus/spyware packages, don't use firewalls, insist on opening strange attachments,etc have support services terminated may get people to take this stuff seriously.
I never thought a marketing drone would be able to come up with such a convoluted way of saying 'commercials'.
I'm sure the same drone will see to it that the "fickle spinning disc of death" from the Japanese models will be renamed "unannounced projectile gaming episodes".
"Terrorism" is today what "Communism" was in the 50's.
Not quite. Communism was this vaguely threatening bogeyman who could lob nuclear missles at your country and burn down your churches if given the chance but never came to pass. Terrorism is at least tangible in the form of 9/11, embassy bombings, etc where the effects are very real.

Why isn't New Jersey doing so well since it is the size of Korea?
Korea doesn't have that charming Vaseline-on-fire aroma that makes central Jersey so famous.
Yes, bicycles want to be free!
I listened to those guys all the time growing up. Shame about their guitarist.
Now whats this about bread?
Burn the which!

I'd eat Alpo for a month to come up with the money to get behind that.
Alpo? When did you win the lottery?
This was no natural disaster. It was the work of the deadly Slashdot torpedo.

And this is different from any other government how?
Nobody loves Charlie Brown as much as the Chinese.
Also, if the new design is flawed or not working out, will the Chinese government admit it or go through great lengths to cover it up?

Happens all the time. They especially like to submit stories to the main page that have already been up, even on the same day. Shameless.
Who says a steg message has to be plaintext?
Wait until Nethack for Playstation2 comes out. The f? rendered in 3d will be breathtaking.

A real live girl? CmdrTaco, put down that dupe and put this on the front page pronto!
Why are you encouraging people to steal their employer's time and resources for a personal, non-work hobby?
Said the AC at work!

Bend it Like Beckham is more like it.
Right up there with reading tea leaves and goat entrails.
All fine bathroom reading materials to be sure.
Ok, but only if I get to make announcements: " aaaand nooooooooooow, a ssssspesjial request from Sophie in dorm three,...."
Mercora is fully Ed Sullivan compliant.
Lucas just might have replaced it with "Ass!"
No point in giving away the film in the first ten seconds.
