As for my experience, on the other hand, I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED A RESPONSE TO A SIMPLE QUESTION ABOUT THEIR SERVICE PLAN. After a week passed, I resent the email to their sales (yes sales) team to no avail. All I wanted to know is if I could use a slightly older broadband modem (a zyxtel prestige 634?) with their service, but apparently those idiots know nothing...
You are missing the point. It wasn't what was being produced at Bhopal, it was UC's irresponsiblity when it came to compensating those who died or were seriously injured in the accident.
Kids don't like homemade versions of real stuff because you let them sit in front of the TV all day, absorbing ads. Turn the TV off, give a kid a couple of plastic bags and a ball of yarn and watch them create stuff.
I can't upgrade even though I'd like to. They're screwing over customers like myself. And now I can't back up my mail!?! Thanks Microsoft, you just made me completely change to gmail...
btw, microsoft is doing this to screw over all those people using hotmail popper, too.

First, are they still deleting "Sent Messages" after 30 days? I didn't know this, and I've lost a few hundred messages that I would have liked to keep.
But, more importantly, if you had upgraded your Hotmail service in the past to Hotmail Plus through MS Passport and you a) changed your credit card number and b) let your account lapse, you're account will be marked as locked and you will NEVER be able to upgrade it again. This occurs when MS tries to autobill you for another year of Hotmail Plus and the card comes up as invalid. I contacted MS about this through their email team, and they basically told me "Tough shit, go make another account."
I will post the response messages I got back from MS to this thread. They are complete cocksuckers. And no, THEY DON'T HAVE PHONE SUPPORT for Passport accounts. They'll take your money and do business with you online, but you'll never be able to call to them and complain...
Why the hell doesn't slashdot inform sites that they are about to post a thread about them? It's easy enough to ask them if they can mirror the page so it doesn't get./'d....
Seriously, adium is SOOOOOOOOOOO much better than ichat. i get a nice log of previous conversations, tabbed browsing, and a beautifully simple and intuitive interface. as much as people like ichat, they should give adium a try. also, mad propz to the adium team...
Do a google search on "jerkcity" (this is NOT a worksafe comic strip, which is why I didn't post a link). The creator animates the strip using MS Comichat.
If you had enough time (months), you could leave the machines someplace where flies and other insects could eat off any nasty bits of protein and other goo. Also, bacteria will naturally putrify the substances into something less nasty. Once the biological stuff has been degraded, clean out the unit with water or your cleaner of preference.
isn't fucking insightful. Really, who the hell modded this up (hint: starts with a Cmdr, ends with a Taco)? It's an ad. You'd have to be a goddamned moron not to pick up on it (or working for slashdot).
And I'd like to mod you -1, Flamebait, but I don't because some of us believe in freedom of expression sans the persecution. *Sorry* if the author of the clip has a different opinion of GW than you...
The alkaline batteries that came with my Minolta s404 only lasted 15 minutes. In the owners' manual, it said that NiMH AA batteries should be used, since digital camera of this type eat up a lot of power. The only reason they packed a pair of alkaline batteries with the camera was so the owner could test the camera to make sure it wasn't malfunctioning...

Yes. I'm sure Super Mario doesn't want Bowser to know that he lives in East Orange, NJ:

$470 million dollar settlement / 15,000 deaths (not including survivors) = $31,333 per victim.
If we wanted payouts for each victim:$470 million dollar settlement / 500,000 survivors = $940 per victim.
Counting both the dead and the living, payouts could be as low as $912 a head. This doesn't help when your hospital bill is about $5000.You are missing the point. It wasn't what was being produced at Bhopal, it was UC's irresponsiblity when it came to compensating those who died or were seriously injured in the accident.

Who teached you your english?
On a more serious note, I'd have to agree that firefox seriously needs an automatic update system that doesn't invalidate a user's extensions.
Isn't being a duped article award enough?
