tie the bitch up and steal something from/her/ if you catch my drift. Then vacuum it out and remind her its yours and that she can't just go around making use of it.
also...dude...tell her no
alternatively, slash her tires or set her house on fire or put one of her kids in an oven
holy shit...I'm a fucking psychopath
I believe I speak for a good deal of IS specialists when I shake my head in a morose fashion and say "this is why I don't trust financial institutions to safeguard diddly squat"
because its gotten to the point where shooting the bastards is becoming one of the only workable options.
I maintain that
a) the voting system is rigged (thank you ever so much diebold...)
b) the economic system has cancer (thank you fed/congress/inflation based economy)
c) the rights of the US citizen have been stripped away bit by bit for the last 150 years or so.
We are effectively serfs. What would you have us do?
There are also those of us trapped in this country who still hold those freedoms, rights and principles to be more important than our own lives. We are few, but we are vigilant and god help us vicious.
You may be right about a majority of those in this country, but please remember that there are those of us in whom the fire burns brightly.
The best way to hide is in plain sight. Open up an account at a UPS store or something and start using it for all your correspondence (esp bills), when it comes time to renew your drivers license or ID, use it instead, slowly build the information away from you.
I am a former Speakeasy customer as well.
It's true, they changed after being bought by bestbuy.
The technical support was just as good I have to say, and the speeds were still good and reliable.
The change came in billing. We consistently paid the bills about 10 or 15 days after they were due, which with a business account, is a fairly standard practice. A great deal of businesses hold their accounts almost 40 days past due as an accounting strategy.
We had been reliably paying speakeasy in this way for about 6 years.
After Best Buy bought them, the abusive emails and calls from their credit department started. Not that we had asked for any sort of credit. We were repeatedly threatened with being cut off, told we were "stealing" from them (despite the fact that we paid them reliably) and when we presented them with evidence that we had been reliably paying them for 6 years, were called liars, to our faces by one "Cruz Rojas", who as far as I know, still works there.
In May of this year, something worse happened. We had been paying speakeasy on a payment plan with a debit card number attached to a DDA (direct deposit account, like checking, but without the use of checks because we never write checks anyway).
So one day we come into the office and our power is out, the food in the fridge is rotting, the machines are down, etc.
Speakeasy, and Cruz Rojas in particular (yes I am singling you out you fucking scum bag!)
Had charged our DDA for ~$450 without our permission and this caused an accounting nightmare as suddenly our other automatic payments to other utilities (such as..ya know...POWER!!) bounced.
What they didn't know apparently, is that accessing a DDA without explicit permission on a case by case basis, is a violation of federal law. (I can cite the particular statute if requested)
So we decided to tell speakeasy's credit department this, to see if they'd, ya know, back off and realize they had screwed up.
We were quoted company policy repeatedly basically telling us we were screwed and there was nothing they were going to do.
Guess what, I used to work at best buy a long time ago in a reality far far away, and I remember a manager at the tech bench bullshitting a customer with the exact same shpiel.
We are on a new ISP now (thank god) and its cheaper and has better speeds (Lightning Bolt DSL).
It's really tragic that an ISP as awesome as speakeasy was ruined by Best Buy.
Jump ship while you can!
The usual interpretation by US courts is that the precedence goes
Constitution > Federal > State > County > City
I agree with slugo3 that the founding fathers intended state law to take precedence.
If they were to actually do that it might be the one thing that could bring the pro-freedom conservatives (they exist) back towards the republican party in any way shape or form.
the judge should be dragged out behind the courthouse by an angry mob and flayed.
Wow...this pissed me off a hell of a lot more than I thought it would.
illegal perhaps, wrong, no.
We're all felons in the US, I can almost guarantee it.
Our glorious legal system is designed to make us all criminals by default.
Poster has a very good point. I always cringe when I hear people describing what "capitalism" is doing. I've stopped saying "it's what government is doing not what capitalism is doing".
I guess some people just want to bitch.
Another nail in the coffin of sensible laws.
This is why people ignore laws that are insane.
To put it succinctly, fuck you guys./me continues torrenting
you're just pissed the good trackers don't like you

prepending "CYBER" to everything!! its so so wrong! *cries*
let it be known that this is what happens when you don't sleep for 4 or 5 days

Can't we just shoot the little weasel already? I can guarantee you that's what any of the founders would have done.
All in favor of a campaign of terror against the **AA? Seriously, blow their offices the fuck up.
So how about we kill those over 40? You decide if I'm kidding. I'm sorry, most of the baby boomer generation needs to die.

the way the system is currently set up? Yes...yes we would have to start treating green as red.

another great thing to do, stop paying taxes. starve the beast

I really wish I had mod points right now to mod you up.
and this is why I'm saying they need to die. Also, blackmail? lol, what are you talking about I'm proud of the porn I like.
if you really want to keep anything private, don't trust anybody with that secret ever
the judge should be dragged out behind the courthouse by an angry mob and flayed. Wow...this pissed me off a hell of a lot more than I thought it would.
this judge gives me a strong urge to exercise my 2nd amendment rights. Am I kidding? Eh, who knows.
illegal perhaps, wrong, no. We're all felons in the US, I can almost guarantee it. Our glorious legal system is designed to make us all criminals by default.

wow....fuck you guys. This is what the 2nd amendment is for.
I wonder how they don't notice that every time we have to make a new service it's better, faster and more opaque. They should cut their losses.
