Previous unavailable ways? Does this mean Star Trek-like tech we haven't even thought of yet- WTF is he smokin'? Him and Dvorak need to partner up, maybe hire on to Sony to fix the battery problems, or sumthin.

"1. Go to the location where the copyrighted materials are stored, create a diversion, and run off with the copyrighted materials when no one is looking."...priceless!!!

Nice post-if I had mod points I would have used them instead of replying. Good job listing the ph#'s, and the succinct but informative message with link.
Personally, I don't want bothered by telemarketing. I understand that it works enough to use, but it does not work with someone like me.
I have no credit/debit cards, no bank accounts, pretty much a cash only way of life. (got burned bad in a divorce way back- my own fault-but still gunshy) If I don't have the cash to afford something, I wait until I do. Yes, sometimes it is a PITA, but overall it has worked well for me.
As far as telemarketing goes, it is a waste of time with me. I know it, and wish they would know it. The national (and my state's) Do Not Call Lists have been great, just wish there were more restrictions with them- still get survey/ poll type calls. For these, their software will make no difference, as I handle them all the same: "No thank you whatever it is, and take me off of your call list.",then I hang up without giving them a chance to respond.
LOL! Good job. I would have expected insightful instead of funny, but funny it was.
Clippy: I see that you are becoming upset, do you want to:
a. Terminate this call?
b. Terminate the order?
c. Nuke the Call Cente......FATAL EXCEPTION!!!!....NO CARRIE..
What happened wit MS's debut of some voice recognition software not long aga. I'm sure if you copy-past all of the phrase in the quoatation marks into a Google search, will find out what you want to know. (BTW- worth the effort for a good laugh- real life is funnier than fiction!)
But how do you con an actor into the career-ending role of Clippy? Fran Dresher or Arthur Godfrey comes to mind. And you would want an appearence by MS Bob to tie in for the sequel.
Yes, mod me flamebait, but does it?(I mean there is IES4LINUX.COM) When are we getting away from OS being able to use whatever website?- It should not be which OS we are running, but which compliant browser we are running.
If the browser is not compliant, then the OS should not even enter the picture. (In a perfect world) Disclaimer: I run FC5 w/ Firefox
Don't ask me what I've been smokin', take it up with your own Dept. of Tourism or whatever. That was the info in the brochure from your own fscking motels in state.
Got a problem with that, take it up with Utah- that's where the info come from.
I did not know shit about Salt Lake CIty(and could care less)- this was in your own brochure in SLC. I expect no less than your society than denial from my experience in Utah. "Google it" now will not change my experience in Utah when I worked there in 2001, but if it makes you feel better, then go right ahead with unsubstantiated claims now.
Bottom line: day late- dollar short- let Marie and Donnie Osmand keep your state going- you have nothing left. Yeah, I've got a lucritive business that has nothing to do with Utah, and am happy with that.
"WTF have I been SmoKin?" Yeah, lay it all on me- I have broad shoulders-I can take it. Check your own tourism dept, or what the fuck ever they call themselves. But nevermind anyone but yourself, we would not want to upset you- it MAY be politacally incorrect- nevermind the facts.
Not according to the info (brochures) that were in the motel room.
Full disclosure:
1.This info was in the brochure in the motel. Salt Lake CitY was founded by 167 Men, eithr 3 or 8 women, so many children(7, I think), and so many livestock. It was an inbred society, and never changed until modern times.
"umm, weren't the first mormons were polygamists because the women far outnumbered the men, and a single woman would have a hard time surviving in the fronteer" WTF you gbeen smoking? How about 167 men, 3 or 8 women and some livestck.
If you don't like that impression that you give to out of state contractors that use your motels/hotels, then change the info on your "founding Salt Lake City" brochures.
Google it if you don't want to take my word about it. Salt lake City=167 women-3-8 men, and assorted livestock- get over it.
I don't know that the internet for phones is a step backwards, but in the current incarnation of a website (more Flash, more JAVA, More scripts, etc.) it becomes problamatic.
I have no interest in owning a cellphone, much less using one, but..... I'm not a Luddite. I can see where this could be a deal breaker for many folks that depend on connectivity for their jobs.
I have to wonder how much DRM plays in the delay of getting connected totally.
A few years back, cellphones were just, well, phones. Now they are in essence, multimedia devices- MP3 Players, Digital Camera, Calenders, etc. This has to have an effect on the providers.
I think the Webapp's being applied to cellphones is a good thing, but I "Frankly" took the submitter's attitude about the deal as BS.
Maybe I'm just contrary or hard-headed, but when I'm told in absolutes about something, I start to question it and "their" motives- call me hard-headed, I don't mind.
I don't expect the "web" to downgrade itself, but with the popularity of the cellphone(as muchas I hate it) I expect them to cater to it.
They made their bed, let them sleep (or die) in it. Their culture dictated that boy's lives were more important than girl's lives, so let them figure out how to deal with it- just the same as the Mormans in Utah (Salt Lake City founded by 167 men, 3-8 (don't remember exactly)women- from a brochure in a motel in SLC- remember that there was more men than women, children, and livestock combined by a HUGE ratio- scary!)
This is a prime example of a patriarchal(SP?) system gone bad.
If they take the "Homo" route, so be it. If they take the conquest route (for more women/get rid of excess of men), then nuke them back to the stone age where they belong with that attitude.
BTW, not afraid of pick-axe handles and machetes, so carry on.
Not PC enuff?- PC in my books= Personal Computer, not Politically Correct, so carry on to your heart's content.
Bottom line: make fscked up laws/condtions, then deal with the fallout. We're dealing with this in the USA now.

Until it is a transparent, documented process, then democracy is held hostage. If I wanted to influence the elections, I might have come up with a better way, but this is sufficient.
There are ways of making this secure and acountable, but the question is why are we not pushing for this?
Blame them for what you will, but they only derive their statistics from the journal/diary that the participants submit for their alledged viewing habits. (Maybe the way the survey works has changed since the 80's- if it has, then my post may be off base- don't pay attention to TV anymore, so SORRY-I aplogise.)
In other words, suit yourself- your mind seems already made up.
Blame the symptoms, not the desease- good practise! *sarcasm*
From your post I could deduce several things, most probably in error: 1. You are a "Survivor" and other so-called reality show fans- no sympathy from me 2. You can't believe that the general public is that stupid, but you are not- again, no sympathy from me 3. You have no clue- again, no sympathy from me
My conclusion: no sympathy from me- I stopped watching TV years ago, nothing of interest for an intelligent human being (see 1. above).
If this has offended you, get a pick-axe handle and drive to Oklahoma (don't forget the buddy with a machete) and try to kick my ass(http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/10/18/12 10235).
If it's the statistics that bother you, then maybe look at your fellow TV viewers as the source of the problem, not a non-viewer like myself.
At least with Nielson, it's opt in/voluntary. Not like MS's WGA or Sony/BMG rootkit (as in DEFAULT opt in).
Just don't agree to be in the Neison "solution" when asked.
Don't blame Neilson for what the mindless public wants. (yes, I have once participated in Neilson, and once declined-both in the 1980's FWIW)
The only difference now is accepting their spyware on your PC instead of a "diary", something Windows users are already used to. (yeah- mod me flamebait...I repair PC's for a living and most of my work is to cleanup malware infested Windows Pc's!- You won't get a rise out of me- I know better!)
"Frankly, I wonder why anyone would even want to use them while sitting at a desk."
Ehmm...nice display, maybe? Like the added functions available on a desktop? Have no use for a mobile phone, but still have a use for Google Maps? Maybe I only feel the need to be connected when I want to be connected? Don't really give a rat's ass about your opinions?
Sit down, and STFU. The world does not revolve around you. If more people had more influence, then maybe you would see your utopia realised, but apparently we do not all like your brand of koolaid.
