In my experience the best way is just to cross out the bits you don't like, photocopy it before sending it off and send it.
I have only once had an "I'm sorry we cannot accept your business" response. When the mobile phone provider Orange set me a change in terms and conditions which said that accepting them would tie me in for another 12 months I crossed this out (I had already had a 12 month minimum term on sign up) and enclosed a note saying that I thought a further lock-in was unreasonable. They actually responded saying they accepted my contract on these terms!
Yes, if you want to change a contract you have to start a new one. This either means continuing the old one for its duration, termination by mutual agreement or more commonly by invoking a "we may terminate any time..." clause.
Very often in practice however companies lawyers will have put a lot of small print in, saying things like "we can vary our charges and basis for charge at any time". This means that they can change the parameters of an existing contract without terminating.
The changes may or may not be legally enforceable. Usually changes in line with inflation, etc. are considered OK but in cases like this it is not clear, hence the class action suit.
If anyone can come up with a better explanation I'd be interested to hear it.
OK, far-fetched it maybe but what if VIA paid them to do it so that the expose would generate a lot of free advertising and ram home the information that the Nano is faster.
Alternatively the US military could have engineered it to distract us from the possibility that they are working for aliens and have files full of UFO data on their systems. Gosh, i'd better hack in and take a look....
If you are lucky enough to have an on-site gym you may well be able to use the showers for free. A greeny-cyclist where I work wrote a note to our HR department about the environment, corporate responsibility and how it would look good if they let him (and other cyclists) shower for free at the gym.
The company actually did have a paragraph about this in a brochure where it discussed its "green credentials".
I used to work with an annoying guy like you. His wife would pack him sandwiches for lunch, but at about 10am he'd be hungry and eat them. At lunch he would go to the fish and chip shop and eat fried fish and chips. Halfway through the afternoon he would get hungry and buy a mars-bar from a snack machine.
He was as skiney as a rake, and I have to make do with an apple at lunchtime to maintain my slightly overweight frame.
Wicket looks good but it is component based. It has a lot of components, but that isn't the same as being able to do anything that javacript can. What would be really cool is a combination of the two, so that custom components can be written in Java, debugged as Java, and compiled to Javascript.
Wicket and rsf are HTML-centric systems, you design your pages in HTML and the framework adds the components. This is good, you can use dreamweaver or any XHTML-compliant editor to get a nice look and feel, but it is only one way of doing it. The alternative is the GUI designer type interface, like the GWT eclipse plugin or JSF. Here you design your page like a GUI application. This is good where you want "web applications" rather than smart web pages.
It will be interesting to see which way tools go, I think there will be a divergence into the two ways of designing.
An interesting concept. So you would still have 5.25" floppy drives and support a max partition size of 32GB then? After all new hardware would expect support from the OS.
I am sure that many people do not realise that going through a NAT device usually means that predictable port numbers will be allocated.
Of course until we get details of the hole and fix we cannot be 100% sure but it is very likely that exposing predictable port numbers (which the fix randomised) reintroduces the hole.
If DNS software vendors had a year's notice then why didn't the NAT firewall vendors. They could have introduced a patch at the same time.
What is happening is you are running apps and OS on a non-stealth partition. Unless you are careful the OS and apps will track documents on the stealth partition, or even make temporary copies on the non-stealth partition.
What you need is a complete hidden partition including OS. Boot from that OS and you are OK.
Not that tough. Redo the route at legal speed then adjust all the time stamps with a constant factor. I'd say it would be a first year grad school programming exercise, and an easy one at that. How many people here would think that given a couple of datafiles to play with (maybe the documentation evan has a specification) they [i]wouldn't[/i] be able to do that?
I thought the same thing. Some parents are quite happy for their offspring to fight in Iraq at that age. Others monitor them to make sure they don't speed. I bet there are a few that would do both!

It is just what you'd expect with "Intel" inside ..... even inside another manufacturer's processor!
I answered the questionnaire.
I got the day of month wrong and occasionally feel depressed. It says I have minimal cognitive impairment.
Some people have a very pungent body odour. I would not be able to do this... unless maybe I moved to France.

But do you still print them on the music-scored lineprinter paper?
It supports Hanzi characters but not ascii

If the gospels had been written 400 years beforehand that would have impressed me.

Its a pity that Cherie Blair didn't know this one.
Surely someone could write a lynx plug-in though.
reasonably well formatted .... except for the white-on black colour scheme. Makes me nostalgic for those 1980s CRTs.

I suspect the scenario between your step 1 and step 2 went something like this:
With my dad erase the last bullet point. It would still have been my fault somehow!
