Contract law just isn't your thing really is it. No ISPs advertise guaranteed rates there is always a little * somewhere that says this is best case scenario and your rates may vary due to various factors. The fine print in your contract will also state this and you will have very little room for 'weaseling'.
In fact attempting to cancel without being able so show your service has seriously degraded because of the ISPs actions will probably be treated as a breach of contract and trigger the usual attempt by the ISP to penalise you with a fee for the remainder of your contract.
They beat me to it. It's always been my dream to set up a non-profit (for everyone else except me of couse) that rakes in money by charging other companies fee levels that I just make up.
No as opposed to ground squirrels which hibernate for the winter so clearly developing a time machine might be difficult for them when they are asleep half the time.
I posted the question "What is the Linux kernel" to Ask a Ninja on YouTube. He told me it was a secret project undertaken by tree squirrels to create a time machine from the kernels of nuts so they could fast forward through winter cos they are fed up being stuck indoors for the winter months.
You never really know what will be successful until you've gotten something out and developed. If only business people understood that
Business people underatand this perfectly well. They also understand the costs associcated with getting to this stage and believe it or not they are clued up enough to understand that if they commit to this cost to just 'get something out there' and it fails then its probably game over for the business.
This is not something Apple are just chucking out into the market place, large amounts of reseach, market analysis and product developement will have been done before the iPhone got green lighted. There is still an element of risk the iPhone will tank but Apple will have done as much as they can to reduce it.
Yay, someone who actually read the article and noticed that yet another Slashdot story is deliberately misleading. No big surprise there. If anyone cares to look of the 70,000 domains distributing malware 49% were IIS and 49% were Apache. The "twice as likely" is pure spin based on overall market share and presumably designed to hide the fact that Apache is being used to push out just as much malware as IIS.
What exactly did the IBM representative not follow though on? Unless you know, you should not repeat the smear. M$ is well known for lying with and without oath, but most of us expect more from IBM.
Well if you had bothered to look it up IBM were caught lying about the ODF project in Massachusetts.
"
That undermined the credibility of each side, but it particularly damaged the position of ODF proponents. After Wyne testified publicly that in Massachusetts, only a handful of computers had thus far been converted over to using ODF. IBM declined to dispute her claims, Mathers said -- despite having earlier given "gleaming" reports on the progress of ODF in Massachusetts. "That's when I really started to question the whole bill," he said.
"
In any case, IBM and everyone besides M$ should come to the aid of ODF.
The vested interests already have. Thats why there are two sides lobbying here.
Legislators want to see professionals who can talk about money more than they want to see idealists who might cost them.
As they have already admitted themselves legislators should not be making technical decision on formats.
Given moral and financial arguments, it's hard to see how these bills can be defeated.
These bills in favour of ODF have been getting battered at vote time you idiot.
Well I have been of the opinion for years that history will judge the Bush administration unkindly, there have been too many lies and staggeringly arrogant incompetence for it to be otherwise. What I wonder now is if American political leaders realise the extent of the damage done to the international reputation of the US and show are prepared to show a bit of backbone by charging him and his administration with some of the offences they have committed.
Timesprout post an insightful comment on this article which included a detailed explanation of why 42 is the answer to everything, what the ?? in step 2 of the 3 steps to profit meme really is and how to easily fill Natalie Portman's pants with hot grits, and even better, how to then get her to remove those pants.
However Timesprout failed to use lay-flat text for his comment and it flopped closed as soon as it was posted which means no one can read it unfortunately.
He assumed that Jamie was hacking the low-end free version of Microsoft's products, when in fact Jamie used APIs published by Microsoft
He was hacking. He uses the a property of user controls to allow him to inject his code into VS to replace the Addin Manager MS removed.
Weber was rude
This has been going on for two years now. He has been asked nicely and has reneged on previous agreements. Now surprise surprise they are pissed with him.
Weber wouldn't state what part of which license Jamie had violated.
He has been informed it was the section about complying with the technical limitations of the application, a clause Jamie rather ironically has in his own licence.
Frankly he deserves what he gets. He ripped off some OS Java test tools and now he's trying to sell it as his own commercial product.
Its an embarassing climbdown. Apple are notorious for tying to control everything, the negative feedback from the marketplace has obviously influenced this 'shift'.
The Germinator:
The Skyflower Funding Bill is passed. The system goes in-ground August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic farming. Skyflower begins to grow at a geometric rate. It becomes self-fertilizing at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to cut the roots.
Sarah Connor:
Skyflower fights back.
:
Yes. It launches its pollen against the targets in Russia.
John Connor:
Why attack Russia? Aren't they our friends now?
The Germinator:
Because Skyflower knows the Russian counter-attack will eliminate its enemies over here.
You lack the imagination to create something new so enter a genre already done to death, you remove key elements of what made games in this genre popular in the first place and then despite lacking the imagination to break new ground you are going to somehow replace these key elements with genuinely new features? What is this? Modders on brain steroids?
Thats funny cos a couple of stories back people were complaining about how sucky the X11 implementation was on Mac and how NeoOffice was so crap and slow that even a broken version of OpenOffice.org was better. Funny the way the attitude changes around here with some criticism.

when I walk past do any devices I may have in my shoulder bag or pockets get fried, or maybe whats left of my hair gets to stand on end?
And dont forget my pay expiration fee now that I have patented Death.

Yeah but usally when I do a
SELECT what_happened FROM drunken_weekend_haze WHERE night = 'saturday';
It's followed immediately by OMG I did what!!!!!! Followed in turn by
DELETE FROM drunken_weekend_haze WHERE embarrassing_episode = True;
Then when people say "Good weekend?" I can almost truthfully respond "Yeah but I got pissed and I can't remember a whole lot of it"
Dammit man try washing your underwear sometime. It removes the stickiness.
I'm sure I will have remembered by the time the dupe gets here though
Let me translate.
Pretty pictures.
