basically EDs is a call center provider amongst other things. right now HP pays other centers premium denero (sometimes literally) so now, its cheaper and they have more control. so, profit.
How was the service marketed to them? If it has the word unlimited anywhere on it, then its your problem not the customer. people need to learn that false advertising isn't good.
There was an episode, the one where they found the temple that referenced the fact that they had pretty much run out of food. They were processing the algae into edible food product.
Question? Since when did the school become a defacto legal system for students? What happens off of school grounds is really none of the schools business.
This is a major encroachment on their personal privacy, and liberty.
that was my arguement. Why should a novelty band for the 70s make money in perpetuity for something (probably while coked up) back when my parents in high school?
If I build a house, or build a chair. I don't make money off of it forever. IP laws are insane.
Ah the "knows just enough to be dangerous..." that was my mom. she had learned to format, and suddenly became the tech support for family and friends.
Till one day she called me, in a bit of a panic. She had been to an aunts, an aunt I hate. despise is probably a better word. She had win2000. My mother had never reinstalled anything other than XP. so she had been insanely lucky as far as drivers go. 2000 on the ohter hand, no drivers, at all. and the computer couldn't be upgraded to XP. No driver Cd's to be had. and I certainly wasn't fixing it.
she stopped doing it after that.
I've been in tech support for working on 7 years now.. wow it hurts to even say that.
I've got stories...
One woman, her CD kept falling out of the drive, we asked what kind of computer she had, it was a 77ed. Yes for those folks at home, it was a dell upside down. sigh.
Another fellow was replacing a motherboard. was worried about the crunching sound when he used the power drill to put the screws back in. Yes, he did snap his mobo in two. yay.
was doing an in home once. and I kept formattnig, and getting different errors. I was starting to think that it was the RAM, till I sat back in the seat and cocked my head. There was a rather large sticker on the side of the case... peeling the 12inch by 12 inch magnet off of the side of the computer I had no problem getting it up and running.
Another lovely spanish lady wanted me to hook the internet up for her. She had the CD in her hot little hands and was very anxious to get started on it. so, I told her to put it in the computer. "the what?" was her reply. Of course, she had no computer.
Had a mans house get hit by a car during troubleshooting. He was screaming "what do i do!" I told him very calmly to call the police.
another man threw his desktop computer through a third floor window when the CD drive wouldn't spit out his car keys.. (I didn't ask how they got in there)
My favourite isn't mine. A good friend of mine, back in the before times, when viruses were rare had a user who'se icons kept growing little legs and running away from the mouse. My friend thought she was a psychotic. They chased those icons around the screen for hours trying to get the thing working. Hilarious.
My personal favourite is the woman who called in one night, and very nervously asked me where on the internet she could go to find a black market baby.
Ok, let me paraphrase the RCMP's response for you....'It is too easy to copy these days and we do not know how to stop it.'...
It's too easy to copy these days,and we do not know how to stop it without overhauling the entire internet, costing billions, curtailing free expression, and probably getting burnt in effigy in the process.
Hmm, sudden thought. With the Usians slow slide to being a third world nation we are going to gradually diversify out trading partners. So, that should help loosen up our position on such things.
This ruling wasn't about putting AVS on sites so as to prevent people from seeing the pics. This was a controversial change to the 2257 laws that were going to basically make it illegal to have any sort of adult oriented image online anywhere unless there was a verified with US ID and current contact information for the model.
the law was semi insane, as not only would the original site need to have the name, address, phone numbers and so on of the models. but so would everyone else down the chain. the advertisers, the affiliates.
this was also supposed to affect personal sites, and private web pages.
basically the laws weren't in any way meant to protect children, or even stop online pornography. They were being used as a bludgeon to make online hookup sites impossible to run.
thank god it got struck down.
You're exactly right. Why is copyright so long lasting? No job that I do will last beyond the moment I sell it. Musicians should be paid to perform, and artists to produce. This ridiculous system where a musicians children make money from somethign their long dead grandparents did is insane.
what I want to know is why is everything relabeled? What was the justification of simply changing the name of things, but leaving them in the same spot.. sort of. Why was add and remove programs changed so that people can't find it?
I work in phone technical support, and relabelling everything was the stupidest thing they have ever done. Aside from change for the sake of change, why did they do that?
The reason they are suing isn't to declare any libel, thats the pretense. They are suing so they can obtain the identity of the hospital employees who provided the information and punish them. The libel suite is being used to get that.
The judge basically ruled that" yes you can have all of this information, even if your lawsuit is stupid"
When the blogger and his commenters are made public they will lose their jobs, and the site will be successfully censored by the hospital.
part of the article that you missed is that the canadian dollar isn't losing ground along with the other world currencies... which means that if the markets aren't there down south there are still plenty of happy consumers with money to purchase our goods.

You're ideas are intriguing and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
I find the best way to do this is to replace thank you with fuck you, and you're welcome with die die DIEEEEE!!!!1!!!
It seems to be the closest translation.
The ? in this is outsourcing.

No, they don't.

That, and being called girl was probably part of the reason she hated you all.

They wern't stacking dead like cord wood on the white house lawn during WWII
Worst in History? You don't read a lot of history do you?
I'm like halfway through world war Z... OMG, there is such a rational reason why bullets aren't actually as effective as one would think.
If they can sell the product for $10 per box in one market, but charge you $50 dollars in another market. They are price gouging.

We used to peg our currency against the pound, at the time the Canadian Dollar was worth 2 American dollars.
Ummm it's his music. him telling people to "steal it" aka take it without paying isn't theft when he's telling people to do it.
