r'uh? Any voicemail i've used (certainly on my mobile) cuts STRAIGHT to my new messages. If they are too long or boring i just press #7 to delete and it goes straight to the next one. The only stipulation is that i -must- listen to 3 seconds of the message.
Seems like Wikipedia is in the right. The name of the website is "Wikipedia_art", this to your average man implies it is - wikipedia art.
If I set up a website called "Slashdot stories" it implies i've taken all the stories from slashdot and put them in there. Rather than "stuff about slashdot stories"
Have a top level of "put stuff into box" - "magic process box" - "output from box" and then drill down repeatedly from there.
Otherwise write a standard operating procedure that everyone follows. You have to make certain assumptions as to the readers knowledge, if they aren't sufficiently trained to know those assumptions they shouldn't be doing the task.
You mean the commercial environment where i have those IBM twats administrating my network. 8 weeks to get a phoneline. 4 weeks to get a login. USB ports that are disabled so i can't access data from the production system on my desktop pc. Why not network it you might ask? Because IBM will charge about £10k to "support" another software package - obviously supporting doesn't even involve them even doing anything.
Sadly there was no malice here. I used to work in a company that bid for xbox repair work. In all reality the process is that 1 person in country A takes the customer return information Unit is received in country B by one operator who strips down the unit and disposes of the packaging. The serial number of the unit is then scanned in to their tracking system and matches it up against customer return information. Now assuming that YOUR xbox is returned to you rather than some form of advance exchange programme a different operator will diagnose the defective part of your xbox, this part will be swapped out and either RMA'd itself or repaired offline. Now your unit will be final tested by another operator who will then pass it on to a QC station for another operator who will immediately identify that the outside casing does not meet Microsoft outbound QC standards and will clean the casing, or swap it out if it does not scrub up enough.
There is no way in the system for it to pop up saying DO NOT CLEAN ME. And even if the repair facility got the email from services they are totally unlikely to have caught the unit in the repair loop.
You obviously don't live in the same United Kingdom as me.
I walk into the T-Mobile shop and say i want the shiny new Nokia N95 on an 18 month contract on a £30/month they'll charge me around £200 for the phone
What the fuck? People who buy a "statistically better" (I think you meant to just say - better) chip are stupid? What kind of crack are you on. Oh wait your evidence is that AMD will come out with a much better chip - great, which shop can i buy it in?
Shops will then start offering discount to people who -don't- come as part of smartmobs. They are fed up with unbalanced loads of customers vs employees and will attempt to encourage those that spread the load.
Abosolute, purest, horseshit.
You obviously have some axe to grind having been fired for rank incompetance or you just don't have the barest fucking clue what goes on in the working world.
Seriously. How the fuck did you get to be marked insightful, is it because there's no "retard" button?
thefts?? They just make their own. Seriously though, if it takes the police 2 days to respond to a burglary call when the guys in your house how long do you think it will take before they react to a "possible extra plate" issue?
One of my plebs at work was getting sent speeding tickets due to someone cloning his plate, it as a completely different car and about 300 miles away, it still took him 2 months to get them to pay any attention.
This will do -fuck- all to prevent criminals and it will shaft the innocent.
Cheerio Tony Blair you fucking dictator.
Last time i heard this discussed the guy screening the speeding photo's just changed the balance and the plate showed up perfectly. He laughed as he was doing it because he saw it so often....MUST...BELIEVE...TV....ADVERTS!
I bought the ROKR for my Wife because she needed a new phone (Cingular was telling her that her old one was being obsoleted and would be shut off eventually)...
You sucker, what kind of retard phone company shuts off product that doesn't belong to them?
Slashdot Mirror
Heaven forfend! Consider this scenario, you thought wrong.
Try being blind and then guessing when it's safe to cross the road...

Does he have a totally different voice mail to me?
No, it just shows what absolute cunts people can be.

Are you fucking insane?

The Sony Rootkit affected people who bought shit legally. Where's the fucking relevance?
if you can guarantee that zero legit customers would be affected then rock on.
Some ISP's appear to be upset at the prospect of customers actually bothering to use the utility that they've been sold.
"What none sense;"
I have to ask, was this a joke?
Yeah, Coke is WAY cheaper than tap water and mcdonalds/pizza hut cost me so much less than a chicken salad.
I'd rather use my voice. Like with Dragon naturally speaking

Why on earth was this guy marked as insightful? He didn't understand the parent post in the slightest!

I report a shop that doesn't have them for poor H&S, causing RSI injuries for their staff due to cheapness.
