  1. Class Action Suit on Verizon's Aggressive New Spam Filter Causing Problems · · Score: 1

    Sorry if this is a dup.

    There is a class action suit against Verizon for blocking legit emails. You could get $10 or so, I suspect.

    Its ironic that Verizon has been allowed to send notification of this suit via email only. I wonder how many notices have gotten blocked?

  2. Re:Legal Concerns? on EOE Concerns w/ Electronic-only Job Application? · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, the burdon of proof is on the unemployed person.

  3. Other pitfalls of online applications on EOE Concerns w/ Electronic-only Job Application? · · Score: 1

    I was going to apply to a well-known national recruiting agency. They only accept online applications. They claimed to have a job that suited me very well, so I went ahead.

    I always read their terms of use and various agreements. This one was very long and had a link to another page. I read that one, it was long and referred to a hard document, but no one at the company had a copy of that document. To apply for a job, you have to agree to something that you can't read.

    In high tech, you can't get around applying online, I've tried. Ok, sometimes I succeed, sometimes not. But in cases like this, I walk away. I'm so tempted to contact the state attourney general, but there is no way I want my name associated with the complaint. Maybe I'm paranoid, but, well heck, yeah, I'm paranoid...

  4. It would rip the hemaglobin from your body on Warp Engines In Development? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How could you possibly test such a theory? The fields required would destroy any computer or living being within. They already have problems doing MRIs, I can't imagine that much stronger of a field.

  5. His analysis lacks a bit on The Math Behind the Hybrid Hype · · Score: 1

    The analysis made two striking assumptions.

    1) It assumed that when purchasing a hybrid vehicle, buying a gas vehicle wasn't an option.

    If you have to buy a vehicle anyway, and spend the same amount of money on either one, then the calculations of monthly payments are a wash.

    2) It assumed the car has no resale value when you get rid of it.
    He throws in the calculation of a trade in, but that isn't right either. The trade in is part of the value of the other car. Why would a hybrid be a better buy if you trade in a Mercedes vs. a Kia?
