Maybe he's making a verb out of "higher", treating it as a synonym for "elevate". Is he therefore saying that only the smartest teachers should be promoted?
If being asked why you are dissatisfied, and the reason you give is clearly totally crazy, then no, I don't think an immediate instantaneous cancellation is in order.
OK, maybe Vincent doesn't want to pay for an account that he isn't using (I'm skeptical of John's claim that Vincent used 545 hours in the previous month, as that's 18 hours a day on dialup). Also, why does the CSR need an explanation in the first place? He may need to know that Vincent is the account holder, but he doesn't need to know Vincent's psychology.
My point is that the WORST thing you can do is get angry, abusive, or flustered. You need to remain calm and professional. That way if it does go further they have nothing at all on you.
No, the WORST thing you can do is allow them to suck your credit card dry. As for being professional, I had no idea that Vincent was a professional customer.
I can't remember the name but there was an experiment where they had people pushing buttons to shock someone under the orders of an authority figure. Most people would push the button that would kill someone if ordered to.
It's not a question of open-source software being inherently more secure, it's a matter of open-source software being more inspectable. How can know the vulnerabilities of software without inspecting the source?
But they can only offer Microsoft's search engine through Microsoft. And unless they charge Microsoft what they charged Google, what financial incentive would they have?
Some video requires more than 256 kbit/sec. Also, some of us download Linux distributions, where the 16x increase in speed (4 Mbit/sec vs. 256 kbit/sec) makes a difference.
But what would you pay for the last gallon of water that you use each month? If the price of water increased, you might well cut back on your use of it. It is the marginal utility that affects the price.

Hey Mom, can you hear me now?
It's not "her" library,
Then it isn't her information, either, and so she isn't entitled to give it away.
Where in the last 400 years has any nation really had ether, or even really attempted to have ether?

Hey, Stallman can Lisp.

I'm having trouble with John's claim that Vincent used 545 hours in a month. Eighteen hours a day on dialup?

Don't hate the player. Don't hate the game. Hate the guy who wrote up the rules.
But the player agreed to play by those rules, so isn't he responsible for that?
Has anyone disputed that IIS 6 is more secure than IIS 5?

Is Thompson one of the "others"?
I guess that depends on how tightly integrated stuff is. Also, Microsoft makes all of those components, while SUSE gets its stuff from others.
I said video, not porn. And what about people who sometimes download large files (> 10 Mbytes)?
Some video requires more than 256 kbit/sec. Also, some of us download Linux distributions, where the 16x increase in speed (4 Mbit/sec vs. 256 kbit/sec) makes a difference.
But what about access points/routers? Or does everyone route everyone else's traffic? Or am I missing something?
I suspect that the GP that one gets free wireless anywhere that someone is running an unprotected access point. :-)
Where does Adam Smith ever mention marginal cost?

Do you have examples? I've tried Google but "PDF exploit" returns PDF descriptions of exploits, not exploits of PDF.
