Here in California (and whichever other places have them) Carl's Jr. has combatted this problem by replacing the sizes and not the names. So when you order a "regular" or a "medium" you get a 32 ounce monster. The small is what used to be known as a medium and what used to be known as a small is either nonexistent or a kid's size drink.
I was irked the first time I ordered a medium drink and they gave me a cup that doesn't fit into my cup holder.
I live in Burbank and I don't consider myself one of his constituents. I don't work for Disney, NBC, WB, et. al. and I didn't contribute $10,000+ to his campaign.
Why does everyone act like a company paying you for working entitles them to your first born child and anything else they desire. A paycheck is an exchange. You provide services, they provide compensation. Period. End of story. There are no other rights that an employer is entitled to simply because they pay you to do work. It's not as if you are just expected to walk into the building and prance around all day, and then go home at the end of the week with a paycheck. They expect productivity.
Nope, doesn't work that way. You are only entitled to protection if you are REQUIRED to be there. Since this is a place of employment, working there is a privelage...
Well since you aren't required to be in your house and it's a privilege to live there, you won't mind the cops coming over and rummaging around through some of your stuff to make sure everything is ok, right? Great, they'll be right over. However, if you change your mind, maybe you should find somewhere else to live.
I've never heard of the stipulation that constitutional protection is only given when you are required to be somewhere. No one in this country (the United States) is required to be here, yet we all have rights guaranteed by the constitution.
I'm not saying they shouldn't have some extra security in our federal buildings. I just think you need to come up with a better argument for it than "You don't have to be there, so they can do whatever the hell they want to you."
I seem to remember reading a story (here on slashdot?) that Fry's was actually buying out Egghead.com not too long ago. If one company buys the assets of another, doesn't it make sense that customer data is part of that? I guess I just don't understand what all the complaining is about.

Yes, it's far too much trouble to simply type Alt+F x or click File:Exit.
All software has a learning curve. Just because you haven't learned it properly yet, doesn't mean it's stupid.
There's no stealing of work here Mr. Coward. It was posted with the byline intact, giving credit to the author.

Speaking of houses of straw, maybe someone should remind Microsoft that it's crap like this that is the reason for publishing sample sources.
