Just using your phone to exchange data makes the entire meeting less tangible and more impersonal.
Same thing for all these 'on line meetings' where you never even see the persons face who is talking.. all you get is a poor quality voice and some video of their desktop.
Handing out a physical object to quantify the event like a card, and actual human interaction in business ( and personal life ) by actually meeting the person. should not be discounted so easily.
or is this the world we want to create, where no one actually interacts anymore and everyone just hides in their cubicle. Just a sad representation of the real world, all vitalized for you in that little box you call a computer.
Or another reason to tell them to take a flying leap if they contact your company as they have no legal authority to demand anything.
Have your network properly licensed and documented, and if they ever do take you to court, prove it was frivolous and with out merit, then counter sue.
Look closely at your contract and you will find you are SOL.
Even if it doesn't explicitly say they can monitor and take actions to "protect the integrity of their network" like most all do, they left a clause in where they can change the terms at any time. Your only recourse is to be able to cancel without penalty.
No, its the most effective bandwidth reclamation program, as it will drive people away from these carriers, and for those that stay the ISPs will use the program to get rid of their heaviest users by falsely claiming they are violating.. and cut them off.
I could have bought a grid tablet long before the iPad.. or an Atari tablet a few years later or even an IBM tablet in the mid 90's ( oh wait, i did do this.. _.. or if we want to stick with apple, even the newton in my closet was before the iPad.
It may be what 'formed' a mass market and is now selling more than everyone else, but it wasn't the first tablet marketed by any stretch of the imagination.. Let alone the 'idea' of one..
Hell, if you want we could say the same about the iphone too.. i remember reading about 'pocket' communication computers back in the mid 70's in Larry Niven books. Oh, and watching them on star trek in the 60's.
Yes i know how bonds work. Do you know how war works? They can demand anything they want and threaten war if they don't get it. "contractual agreements" don't mean squat when you are staring down the wrong side of a barrel.
Also, if they cut us off from our shiny objects, they wont lose millions of jobs. They will just sell to other countries and subsidize the jobs ( they are a socialist nation remember )
If the US and China butt heads too much, all China has to do is cut off supply of all our shiny objects, bankrupting many large US companies and destroying what is left of our economy.
They can also demand payment for what we owe them..
I say break them if need be. The pyramid wont last forever, and i think its worth a little bit of damage in the name of science. its not like we are talking looting or anything.
All they will find is a chamber, most likely with some figurines representing the king and his wife on their journey to become gods, but it will still be cool to get to see it.
He is one of the reasons i lost interest in following ancient Egypt. Tho i didn't know it since i stopped paying attention, I'm glad hes gone. Perhaps actual science can start back up.
All that needs to happen is another case going before a differently populated supreme court and they can change the ruling. Then refuse to hear anymore cases on the issue.
Besides, all they have to do is pull out the 'terrorism' card and our rights are negated.

Its *always* the consumer. Be it from direct taxes and fees, or just passing the cost down from the companies, we, the consumer, always pay the cost.

IS illegal.. unless its done in a way that prevents its from being mistaken as real currency, which sort of defeats the intent.
While I'm all for making a statement, committing a crime in the process isn't overly productive.
We are talking a corporate entity and their contracts for service to the private sector, not the legal system. Due process doesn't apply here.

No, its not entrapment, but they are an enabler.

You are optimistic. I give it 5 years before we all live behind digital walled gardens, tended by the feds.
Be sure to keep backups of tools... before they are gone.
It made a tiny bit of sense in the old days for cities before electric power. But it made no sense for rural areas.
Now that we have this fancy thing called electricity, the entire concept is just asinine.
My respect for him just took a nosedive.
DST is stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid..

And i hope he does make some money off it. He deserves it.
Everyone should be taught what it is, and use it. While we still can.

Or they can stop irritating me. Its all about me.
Choices can be good in concept, but a market flood of them just dilutes things and you end up with a lot of crap with nothing being of any real value.

Just what we need, yet another 7" tablet in a market that is already flooded.

Buy Roku. ( and any other major competitor ) It works for other huge companions with billions in the bank. Instant customer base.
For now.

Just raise taxes to pay for it. That's how things like this work. Its 'for your protection' remember.
No, they are not. Idiot. Go back and hide in your cubicle, you don't belong out in the real world interfacing with your customers.
