    I don't see a The Daily WTF clone for the construction industry. Maybe that could be related.

    I'd have a retort, but I'm too busy putting Linux on my Roomba and hardhacking it to handle liquids.

    And when everyone started using ball logos. Everyone is just so obsessed with balls these days. Uh, balls as in ball logos. That.

    Not everyone points and shoots, though. A tilt-shift lens by itself costs more than two of these cameras.

    Taking pictures in a train isn't illegal. Everyone just thinks in is. Same with any public place and people as well. You can snap away and you're perfectly within your rights to do so.

    I went the high road and tagged it "flamingburp." I... guess that's the high road.

    Since when was the merchant's agreement something that large stores care about? Apple has been doing this with the iPhone lately and, considering Best Buy's track record, I wouldn't be surprised if they just handed Samsung all the information they could ever used.

    All I know about journalists is that they're usually somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs begin to take hold.

    The data wasn't worth any more than the time I'd put into web design (minimalist, so maybe 1 hour total over the course of a few months). The only thing of real value were other peoples' sites running on my account, which I never took responsibility for at all. But I did point out:

    ...or even get any correspondence.

    It's been so long now that I can't remember exactly how I finally found out why account was suspended. But if my fuzzy recollection is correct, all I received was a response to my initial e-mail, then nothing came of my follow ups. That was far worse than any data I'd lost. Essentially, it went as follows...

    Me: Why was my account closed?
    1&1: You were running a phishing site.
    Me: No I wasn't. We were discussing phishing techniques in a security-minded manner.
    *crickets*

    Perhaps it was a quantum leap year and the extra day never really existed, but took play anyway? Or perhaps you just had to get wasted to leap.

    I actually brought in a semi-broken iPod with obvious firmware modifications and they still replaced it free of charge. Oh, and yes, it was out of warranty.

  19. Re:Nuts on Protection From Online Eviction? · · Score: 2, Informative

    1&1 has a practice of suspending your account and removing all data without any notice. I was running a website hosted by them, and on said site we got into a discussion about phishing. 1&1 came to the conclusion that my site was actually being used for phishing and shut it down with absolutely zero notice. I didn't find out until I tried to login to my admin panel.

    1&1 is supposedly one of the biggest hosting companies in the world and I'm appalled at their actions. I was never able to receive any of my data, or even get any correspondence. I would say that's a pretty good definition of "eviction," and I will never do business with them again.

    I actually don't care if TWC credits my bill or not. I feel the service is better without the Viacom channels. Just so long as you guys don't drop Cartoon Network, I'll be happy. That is, unless you create an Adult Swim channel. Then you can drop Cartoon Network.

    Sometimes you happen upon a torrent seeded almost entirely by really slow connections, or by people who are seeding a lot of torrents. I've stumbled onto a couple recently with 1000+ seeds that refuse to go any higher than 60kb/s, but most of the ones I find with maybe 10-20 will fly.

    There's no real significance there, it's just something I've noticed.
