    Depends on if you went there to conduct business or not.

    If you went there with the express purpose of conducting business then it is illegal because you obtained a visa under a false pretext.

    No one is going to arrest you for laying around doing nothing on a business visa, but you may run into legal problems if you go do business on a tourist visa.

    I would figure a primarily news channel would be less susceptible to that issue.

    Line up the advertisers first and you won't have to deal with the network trying to stuff shit in there that doesn't belong.

    A basic cable channel that only catered to technology issues would be wildly successful and would have businesses clamoring to advertise on it.

    1998 might have been a bit too early, I think it would have a much better chance now.

    I don't know why, but I assume they work for them. I can't really see why they'd die in a ditch defending Apple's relentless unethical and stupid decisions if they were only fans

    I doubt that anyone would be that fanatical over a paycheck. Fans are much more willing to sing the praises of that which they are fans of vs employees singing the praises of their employer.

    I'm wondering if a VC would fund anything that has a Kickstarter?

    If you are going to try to troll something like that try to make it a bit more believable.

    Such as.

    Just announced: to release a notarized statement from PriceWaterhouseCooper saying he payed an average 20% effective tax rate when he was 20.

    or

    Just announced: to release a notarized statement from PriceWaterhouseCooper saying he payed an average 20% effective tax rate over the last 20 years on 2% of his income. The rest was taxed at a rate of 8%.

    Yea, hooking up with someone who knows what they're doing is a good thing.

    And it's a good thing that she knew what she was doing, cause I sure as hell didn't.

    Ok, call me stupid, but what are the alternatives to sending the password as text in an email?

    Also, what would be the best method?

    The company I work for isn't very tech literate and could probably use some pointers.

    Use less restricting rules?

  15. Re:RPG means no GUNS. on Game Review: Borderlands 2 · · Score: 2

    RPG stands for Role Playing Game.

    Perhaps you are only familiar with Role Playing Games where no guns are involved, but that is only a small subset of the entirety of Role Playing Games.

    It's like saying that websites should all have a picture of goatse because that one time you got on the internet you saw a picture of goatse.

    If you have a company that wants a story submitted then submit the story for them, and if it is accepted ask to be paid.

    What ads?

    Since the majority of the people who come here use ad blockers perhaps they have figured that only people who have no clue about ad blockers are the ones they need to advertise to, therefor they will advertise really stupid stuff.

    That is funny because the paranoid schizophrenics I've known have always been saner when on pot.
