1&1? They should worry more about where they site their customer service!
They outsource their customer service to the Philippines if I remember correctly. If you want to speak to someone who knows English, call their sales line. I interviewed for them and I can say I wouldn't want anything to do with them.
Even water is dangerous in large enough quantities. I'm not just talking about drowning, you can drink yourself to death bolting too much water in too short of time, messes with your electrolytes (what plants crave) and you die.
Aspirin is harmful in large doses, it will deteriorate the lining of your stomache, contributing to ulcers. At low enough doses, the stomache is able to repair the damage, and you gain the blood thinning benefits that help prevent heart attacks.
Isn't any drug dangerous in doses past the prescribed rate? Typically they say that overdosing on something will kill you, but the truth is that it will lead to something that will eventually kill you.
Isn't that the point of warning labels? "Do not take past X pills for every Y hours?"
nah we will just pay 700 billion to prop it up for a few months and let the next guy deal with it.
I think realistically 700 billion could fix the internet in the entire US. It would make up for the 200 billion we lost a few years ago.* Not only that we could use it to help our friends to the north.
That's the point where I would have pulled out my cell phone, called 911 and told the dispatcher that I was being held against my will.
Until a jumpy security guard who has been watching too many movies takes your actions of reaching into your pocket for your phone as reaching for a weapon. Then you have a 5'2 300lbs fat man wrestling you to the ground and a manager fleeing to their office to call the authorities.
You're expecting me to become familiar with Ohio law? I also suppose I should be experienced in Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Roman Law. Should I also be fluent in legalese?
I'd try to find a resource for where it's illegal to not carry ID on you, but any Google search for it is flooded by voter ID requirements.
... given the fact that they treat their customers like criminals. Besides which, my local electronics place usually beats them on price -- and there's always online shopping.
It sounds like he was nothing more then some smug jerk who was too infatuated with gloating about his rights and showing them off. He shouldn't have refused to show the officer his ID. The security staff blocking the car is one thing and could have lead to a fine on their part. He did nothing wrong by refusing to show a receipt. He did nothing wrong by refusing to obey the security guard and manager. He did something wrong when he refused to show ID to the police officer. I'm not familiar on Ohio law, but in many places it's illegal to not have some form of ID when over 18.
I'd like to see this guy to a BJ's or Costco in the US and try to walk past the person checking receipts, which is standard at those stores.
And I have a feeling I'll get modded troll for this post.
There should be no continuation of race based programs, organizations, or policies. In order to remove racism, you have to treat everyone the same and stop promoting based on race alone. Racism will not vanish overnight, but it will vanish over time.
Mod parent up. Every time I try to bring up this point to anybody who I think would be like minded I get looked at like I'm a racist for trying to hurt someones "culture". The same ruling should be used with religion. I don't care about your holiday, religious paraphernalia, god, or the fact that you think the rapture is tomorrow so I should sign up for your newsletter or donate to your organization, I'm just trying to go to the ATM, so stop blocking the sidewalk.
Your mistake is that you're expecting direct answers for simple questions, which you will never receive. I've grown to expect politicians to talk in circles and avoid answering directly. For the entire time that Hillary and Obama were going at it, I had no idea what Hillary was for or against outside of the norm (womens reproductive rights, usual left wing stuff, etc.).
Bottom line is that they need to just make health care affordable, not free. Take some out of my W2 for those who don't get it through work. I'll forfeit some cash just so I don't have to pay what I am right now for a COBRA(sp) plan.
If you use comcast ( and others ) your monthly bandwidth is limited.
Most people don't use anywhere near their quota.
I consider myself a "power user" when it comes to downloading, and I've only made it to 150GB this month. I used bittorrent to grab every CD for x86 machines for MANY different distributions, including Debian and their 10+ CDs. Why? Because the tech school I support needed ISO images so the students could run VMs, and this way they aren't sucking up traffic on their dual T1's grabbing them.
I've seeded at least 1.0 for each one and I haven't had any problems, people are blowing the cap out of proportion. And don't get me wrong, I don't support it in the least, but it does cause me to think twice about grabbing that entire series of 10 seasons of that show I watched when I was 12.
A good number of record companies have started releasing videos on Youtube. I can't cite this information because it's blocked at work, however they have many accounts created specifically by Universal Records, paramount, etc.
In about 8 months, they'll have nothing but Real World, and you'll have to go to www.mtvmusic2.com if you want to actually see music videos.
Quoted for truth.
Why is this shit on/.? Is this really stuff that matters? You can find a good number of music videos on Youtube, Break, Liveleak, and many others. Probably more then you can find on MTV's website, and with less advertisements. Will MTV go with their usual BS like on TRL and have a screaming girl saying why they love Justin Timberlake and why it should be #1 for the day?
I ask again, why was this considered "Stuff that matters?"
Anyone who's ever administered a server knows they are probed ALL the time.
Anybody who's ever administrated a school network should know that every kid is a potential "hacker," and you should be always keeping all the security up to date and patched regularly.
Codeweavers is a respectable business. They sell a customized version of Wine which is tuned to run popular proprietary software (MS Office, Adobe stuff, etc...).

But will there be a giant spider?
Or am I thinking of another one of the bits that Kevin Smith did?
You do know that Watchmen is gonna suck?
Some of us try to be optimistic about it before tracking down the director to tar and feather them.
Fortunately my Gmail spam filter hides these e-mails for me. -ML
Except you see the stupid advertisements all the time. Thank Firefox for Adblock+ and NoScript.
Yeah, but who can honestly say they haven't read Cat's Cradle? I think that's an automatic revocation of geekness.
I'm guilty of not reading it. I'll pick it up on the way home today though, I'm tired of reading Palahniuk novels.
ice-9: Maybe not intended to be a doomsday device, but it sure turned out to be one!
Spoiler warning, the first paragraph pretty much gives away the end of the book. Stupid wikipedia.. :(
In the U.S., it means yellow power means 'powered by Mountain Dew'.
So that's what they feed the hamsters on the wheels?

Good one. I, for one, have always been adapt of the old 'throw it in the toilet' fashion.
I like the 'running it over with the car after it fries my MicroSD card.'

Furthermore, see: wikipedia.
It was down.codeweavers.com.
And of course, it's down.
I think that this was a good marketing ploy. I hope their servers can stand the strain.
They went to a low-bandwidth version to alleviate some of it.
