I was skeptical too. I checked their domain registration and it matches up with vonage.com. Also, when you enter your account number it successfully looks up your account information, a phishing scam wouldn't be able to do that.
I worked for two different telemarketing companies in their IT departments. They get between 3% and 10% sales depending greatly on the product.
At one company I worked on the inbound business but heard a lot about the outbound, the other company was all outbound.
He just created the averaged map last week. It was never the default map. He linked to it from his daily article at least once after it was created. It is linked permanently from the links section just under the main map for all to see.
I've known a few people similar to the one's you describe and I agree with your viewpoint. The thing is, until this sort of situation is something you deal with on a personal level (through a friend for example) a lot of people just don't get it. Poor people to those who are not exposed to it are just 'those' poor people. "Get a job, loser" types.
I disagree with both of the original posts on this though. Stopping scientific research and progress to help the poor is stupid. The research itself may someday lead to helping the less fortunate of the world. Imagine if electricity were so abundant that it was virtually free, homeless shelters would have just that much more money in the budget for helping with job search and education programs for the people they help.
Once again, science fiction paves the way for science fact!:o)
Ever think God is just sitting around watching? Thinking to himself...
"Hmm, I wonder what they'll think up next?! Mini black holes! Damn what a cool idea!" Then goes off and makes sure all of creation will be able to handle the 'exceptions' that occur?
