except in this case there customer base consists of mostly computer illiterate people and that the issue is more or less caused by a software glitch by them forgetting a simple line of code to block the cached files from being used more then a few hours or a day.
if it was only happening on one browser or if it was far fewer people having issue i would completely agree with you. However as a developer in those cases i always ask a user to show me what they did to have the problem because 9/10 times i can tweak the app's validation rules to ensure the issue does not occur.
what about setting cache rules on those files. its been some time since i last really developed a web site as i cheat now and use drupal but i remember there being a tag that would tell the browser how long a page could be cached for if at all. By your logic instead of a programming managing its memory you think the user should just have to reboot the computer when the memory is full.
When you provide a service to a customer and they are complaining about something not working and you test and test and it works fine it means you have to go deeper and work with your customer to see the issue. you cant just tell them its there problem and expect them to stick around as paying customers.
how they price things i doubt they make a hefty sum of cash however most of the internet traffic is managed by the customers so they must be covering there costs with at least some kind of profit.
im one who pays for both skype out and in. so much cheaper then paying for a land line. also much easier to make conference calls from

If you have a reason to have a physical land line number but dont want to pay $30 a month to the local phone company its great!! $60 a year gives me a physical number people can call in from a normal phone. The calling out feature is handy at times as well. Say you need to have a 4-5 way call. Most phones area a pain to start that on. With skype i just right click the contact and add to conference. They can be using skype as well or in the case of the technically challenged they can use a land line.
Although i am unsure if ill say with all the shifts that are happening with it. Killing off features is a great way of giving the finger to your paying customers
I think it would have been better if they had apologized to the hole community for the law ever being on the books and the effect it had on those involved.
victimless crimes do actually have perceived victims... they are just not directly connected with the actions. At least that's why those laws are able to be justified and put on the books.
That being said, we have over 7million people in jail in the US. Why make laws around the small things when we have so many larger problems that attention should be focused on.
yes because your an asshole for creating an easier way of doing something thats already been done. Lets all go back to programming with punch cards because otherwise we're all assholes. Dont forget to stop using the mouse as well. Cant go having more then one input device.
only if they happen in one of the 12 states where it is strictly forbidden. On the other hand as long as the person makes it obvious that there being recorded theirs nothing you can do.
there was a story on slashdot a while back about some one who had a camera and signs warning of it and the cops tried to arrest them when they took in a video of police harassment that was recorded on it. The charges had to be thrown out because the property owner made it clear with signs that video and audio recordings where being made.
I don't have the links but last studies I remember determined that intelligence is not genetic. In fact abilities that one have are not limited to there IQ.
its just a tla doesnt have any meaning what so ever until you give it context. By saying google its assumed there talking about googles tla gfs. Thats why when ever you use a tla its good to tell people what is at least once.
Also if you go on the site there is no date stamp telling you when the contract was last updated. The date stamp leaves me rather displeased with ATT though as i should not have to guess when it was last updated
You can compare them however if the end user want to know if its better to run XP in a vm or if they should use boot camp. Seems to me they are just pointing out that the battery life is about the same so it doesnt matter power wise what you choice to do.
I can understand iphone meetings because those are solid competing products and maybe even safari(even if there is no real profit) but google os has always lead me to believe its a netbook os and has no real intent to be some ones main computer.
How can you compare xserver(a sold product) to googles server farms that are completely in house
if they needed a reason for mp3 players then all they would realy have to do is site that there search engine provides people with sites to bypass drm in there music
Ive never seen anything saying that the person taking the source to recompile it has the rights to use the same medium to distribute it. That would be like saying debian has to distribute Ubuntu because Ubuntu is based on its source.
Its not up to the last set of developers to figure everything out for you. Besides you could change some of the graphics around change the name and get it published on the istore

whats that about $5?
it was in NH and the owner of the house had signs posted making it fully legal.
Not to mention public officials are not granted the same rights while working due to there work being of the public nature.

I wonder if anyone marked that they liked the girls post

well you could just get rid of the men woman divisions and do it by physical aspects such as strengt
its the only real way to be fair about the process and not risk issues with genetic testing and all.
how is this government?
please please mod up +1 funny
who needs to buy a stamp when they can just hyjack user accounts who use the feature and get it for free!

for those that havent read the above link do.. should give you a chuckle or two.. some one must have ocd to have fully made that!!

tla = three letter acrylic
really? I looked here again to make sure i didnt miss anything http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/legal/service-agreement.jsp?q_termsKey=postpaidServiceAgreement&q_termsName=Service+Agreement but the same as the other day there isnt a time stamp
Also if you go on the site there is no date stamp telling you when the contract was last updated. The date stamp leaves me rather displeased with ATT though as i should not have to guess when it was last updated
