I agree. Once something is out in the open, you can't erase it. You can take the parent video down but people have already downloaded it and are probably putting it on other sites. If they aren't, they're emailing it to their friends and family. Having a safety video on what could happen when safety procedures aren't followed would be as much of a fix as you can really do. Having it up at the same time or before the original video was up would have been better. Text would work, too, but I think at least pictures of laser-burned eyes would have more of an impact with the words than the words alone.
I'd say the best way to find out if it's against Craig's list ToS/rules/ w/e is to covertly ask them about the gray areas of their rules. Try and describe your program without saying it's your program. I personally don't see a problem with it because as I understand, it doesn't mirror... it searches and finds what you want, then gives it to you. Some items on the list isn't mirroring the whole list. But hey, I'm not Craig...
Yeah, whenever the government in any form makes a move to do something, I question it, too. This looks good for the consumer but I know that the government and businesses affected by it will find a way to profit from it. They always do. There's too many people using their government position for their benefit instead of everyone's benefit. Just look at how Social Security works and all those things we have to 'help' citizens who need the help. It took me two years to get medicaid and I was eligible for it right off. Sure, they'll pay my medical bills but telling doctors' offices that I don't have a payment method other than medicaid saying they'll pay my medical bills... doesn't move them to let me see a doctor. No, the government isn't doing this to help us out or help phone technology and yes they'll find a way to help themselves to more...
There are a lot of medicines out today that cure or help cure several things. My mom takes an anti-depressant for menopause sweats and it also works as a pain reliever. Some arthritis drugs also work on other diseases in the rheumatic family and there are some that help with psoriasis. The real question here is what are the side effects? Every drug has them and with enough research with test subjects, they will be found. What's interesting is how many side effects have to be found before the drug goes out on the market. I know many drugs go out before all the side effects are found. Perhaps the remaining side effects are not so bad and not likely that type of person would be taking the drug. (There are many drugs out there that haven't been tested on pregnant women or babies but then again, who would want to do that?)
Lol, my Aunt Carol gets to play with T1 connections every so often. I remember before cable and dsl... she put together these photos this guy wanted and attached them all to an email and sent them. It was like 50 pictures and sent to a dial-up connection... lmao! But really, Cox and Comcast suck in the south compared to the north. You were testing it in PA, which is north. Try it in Texas or something and you'll see what people are complaining about.:(
What gets me the most about this is the RIAA coming in and using law enforcement for their own ends. In a way, they have a monopoly on their market. This market consists of protecting artists and other people connected to creating media that others may enjoy. I personally think partly because of their monopoly and power, they have overstepped their bounds. There is no one to stop them like there is with other businesses. Let's say Artist X made a disc or book or whatever and there is another similar one from Artist Y. Neither is better or worse but the consumer chooses Y over X more often than not. Artist X uses the RIAA to protect their investment, while Artist Y uses another agency. The RIAA has been well known to use excessive ways to protect their customers, while the other agency has decided to use more gentle or agreeable methods. In seeing the two methods, consumers of Artist X and Artist Y can now make a different decision on where they buy because of this new information. This is how much of consumerism works in the USA. There are checks and balances in subtle forms such as this. Competition always makes people change- or they lose business and money. Now, something as big as the RIAA can't survive without money and there's someone around paying them to do what they do. I don't know what the little person can do about this other than use the media to try and force others to make similar agencies (and use them). I think keeping people from making knock-offs that look like the real thing and selling them as the real thing should be stopped. There are so many gray areas in piracy but there are also black and white. The black need to be stopped, the white need to be protected and the gray should be kept at a casual pace. With a balance like this, people can get what they want and those making efforts to create things legally also get their monetary appreciation.
Well, they're required to pay you for the hours you worked so long as they don't file bankruptcy or find a reason they can keep wages from you. The company can't sue you unless you make a breach of contract. What you should have done was re-read all your papers you signed when you were hired (if you signed any) or any others they may have had you sign as amendments- before giving notice. You can't do that with this company, now, but you can do this with future companies. Further, if they do go on with this and you win, you can definitely counter-sue for loss of wages, suffering, etc. Giving notice is a courtesy and may make for better references as well as a more likely re-hire. Personally, I wouldn't return to that company. I would report them so that as many people know how you were treated and hopefully, people will buy elsewhere. Sueing you for something not in the contract was harsh and shouldn't have occurred.
Yes, it's the large doses, especially spiking to a large dose then 'spiking' back down to a small dose or nothing that creates addiction more than anything. Genetics/body makeup also play a role. I have a friend who doesn't drink a drop of alcohol because her father is an addict and she only takes medications prescribed to her.
Playing it safe is better but also getting the pain relief you need should be accomplished. I've had the 5mg morphine pill and I liked it, personally. (The morphine pill was just like taking percocet, with the difference being that I'm allergic to percocet.) I was able to get to sleep without pain or drug effects hampering me, so when I really hurt, I took it so I could sleep. Then, I had vicodin or something similar for day time because those particular medicines would make me hyper. When I was really bad, I could go into the hospital for demarrol shots. All this was done sporadically because my pain is sporadic. The disease-modifying medicine (Enbrel) and swelling reducer (Ibuprofen) had to be taken on a schedule.
With people who have to live with chronic pain, the true balance is being able to control the pain so you can live your life as normal as possible. I have every-day pain but I generally ignore it because it doesn't really alter my daily life. When I find that I can't get out of bed or walk to the kitchen, tend to fall or drop things, etc, I take enough to control the pain. It's like if you don't get rid of the chronic pain, you can't get better. Without medicine (pain relievers, disease-modifying medicines, etc) an arthritic flare-up can last weeks or a month. With medicine, it lasts days at the most.
I think the only prescribed pain-reducer I've been denied was marijuana, on the precept that I'm so young. My doctor felt okay prescribing it to older people who didn't have so much longer to live but didn't want to prescribe it to someone who may be using it for fifty or more years. Understandably so. I don't understand the doctors that are so afraid of the law that they won't hardly prescribe anything but I do think they should use their training in medicines to prescribe the best drug for their patient. Likewise, the patient should also do their own research and talk to their doctor about new drugs that are out or other medications they haven't tried yet. Who knows, maybe the doctor hasn't heard of it or he/she has knowledge on it that would benefit you.
The worst part of continual chronic pain is that your body gets used to a medication and soon, the maximum dosage doesn't seem to change a thing, meaning you have to switch to something new. However, under any circumstances, you should discuss new things with your doctor before you try them. Your doctor has knowledge about you and medicines on the market that could make the best of your situation. My rheumatologist told me that I should never participate in any tests for new medications coming out because I tend to have allergies towards some of the ingredients.
People who take medicines for chronic pain relief also need to consider they're taking things in doses that could have consequences later on. I've been on medicines that required I visit the hospital once a month to have blood tests done. This insured things such as my liver was still fine. I'm very glad that new medicines or new ways of administering medicines is being looked into. When I started taking Enbrel, I heard that scientists were researching a way to easily inject pain medication directly to the pain recptors, so that you can get around problems such as liver or stomach malfunctions. Now, there may be something similar to morphine that doesn't have the negative effect of addicting people. I really hope this works as they intend it to and I hope scientists continue to find new ways to treat chronic pain and even better, find cures for the various diseases causing chronic pain.
Yeah, when I had my business and sub-contracted under my mom to clean a construction company, they had a box full of stuff you would find in a vending machine. The box had a suggested price of fifty cents for each item and a spot to stick money in. It was just a cardboard box and when I was there, there was no one there (not to mention, it's on the other side of railroad tracks at a dead-end, so no one but me or anyone working there would be there at all- not even the police). However, I always paid. Fifty cents for a cup of ramen noodles, candy bar, (ninety-nine cent size) bag of chips, etc. was well worth it and if I didn't have morals, there was always the thought that if I didn't pay and just stole the stuff, that box wouldn't be left out for me anymore. With any place that sold food or drink about twenty miles away... I'm sure you can understand...
When I owned a janitorial business and sub-contracted under my mom for some stuff, we used to leave this sign and stuff in a men's toilet at a particular ranger station. The sign on the wall (where the men would face while doing their business) said "We aim to please, you aim too, please." and we painted a bulls-eye inside the toilet. Before then, we had to clean pee off the ceilings, walls... everywhere. After then, there was no mess and all the guys there thought it was great! However, this is Government employee mentality we're talking about here...
I completely understand what you're talking about here. Blizzard GM's should have names that respect business parameters, so the customers feel comfortable getting help. Also, having your name immediately changed now after all this play time. No one knows you now when just a day ago, everyone did. Oh, and yes, the connection to a name. I'm connected to mokumegane but can't use it on AIM when I log on to talk to family members. Why? It has a sexual connotation in it. Forget that it's a Japanese word and it's a form of metalsmithing... there's sexual content in it- oh no! I'm so appalled... Yes, I understand where you're coming from here. I'd really hate it if any of my toons' names were changed. I only have one that may be a problem but I haven't been contacted about it yet. Mine are mostly adaptations of stone names... Azuryte, Zoisa, Diaspore, Chrysalla, Vestakia... Azuryte and Vestakia are well known and just on my reputation, people ask for me to participate in raids and groups.
