That would seem like a good idea. Here we have over 200 stations though so it might make my hubby's job in billing even more work than it already is.;) They have already cut so many jobs in his office that he's currently doing his work plus all the work the new non-local call center screws up. It seems like they cut one job too many, but since that was done at a corperate level, they can't really do anything about it now. It probably wouldn't hurt to suggest it to your local office though.
With the current equipment at the hubby's current job, it's not possible for analog channels and very difficult even for digital channels. They also wouldn't make any money that way.
As revolting as Whoopi Goldberg is, I was happy see a show where someone smoked on TV again. On top of the smoking, her sitcom is even mildly entertaining.
We do purchse our TV channels. The cable company pays X cents per channel per Y # of customers for each channel they offer. Each channel sets their price. My hubby works for the local cable company and told me the reason cable prices had gone up was because they had been paying 10 cents per channel for Y number of customers and the price had gone up to 30 cents. The stations can pretty much raise the price all they want and people don't complain to them because they don't know how it works. They just complain to the cable company about their prices going up instead.
if you aren't living in the US, why should anyone make it easier for you to vote here? This sounds like a really bad idea and begs for another Florida-type fiasco.
"That would be very annoying. If you want to be more cynical, then you can say that people have collected a lot of information that can be used to prove his guilt, and it annoys them that they can't get to them."
I would rather the FBI be annoyed than to see innocent people lose their rights. That especially goes for non-violent criminals. My view might budge a teeny bit if it was a violent crime.
"What if you are walking down to the local coffee shop and you hop on their "legally free and open" hotspot. You then proceed to share and dload tons of copy righted music. When the IP is traced it will go to that coffee shop, not to you. How do they find you? "
They would likely sue the coffee shop for allowing sharing programs on their computers.
"What if you have a AP at your house that you leave open for your neighbors and friends to use and one of them is sharing files? The IP gets traced to you right, so are you responsible for their actions if you had no knowledge that they would or were doing that?"
They would probably still sue you unless you rat out your friends.
Apparently Kazaa Lite doesn't protect your identity too well because Kazaa is suing the RIAA for using it to catch people sharing music. Since it's an unauthorized version bearing Kazaa's name, they are suing for copyright infringement. I got a good laugh when I read about the suit against the RIAA from Kazaa.
so, if they did that with my keyboard, would they vacuum out all the crumbs from between the keys of my old keyboard and insert them in the new one? Then they'd of course have to add cat hair stuck to it by coca cola fizz residue... oh and don't forget the various websites written down in clear spots.. and of course they better make sure that "M" key is sticky..

But that only works if you are in a good spot for it.
