Oh man, e-wikipedia was my favorite site to browse while prorastinating work. Now I guess I'll just spend all my slacking time on my OTHER favorite site, slushdot.org
A manual, more specifically a *reference* manual, is not intended to be read cover-to-cover before the product is used. And I don't care that the terms and conditions state that using the phone internationally incurrs roaming charges. There's a certain amount of reasonableness that is implicit in any sort of contract. A $4,800 monthly bill for a normal retail (i.e. non-business) user is not reasonable. AT&T should reverse the charges, and maybe even throw in a month of free service as a good-will gesture.
Being from the States myself, I have to admit that I wouldn't know how to dial an Australian phone number off the top of my either. That's why I just fucking googled it.
You'd think that Google's own HR drones would be able to do the same.
Legally, a corporation in America IS a person and it DOES have a magical existence apart from the people that make it up. Corporations have rights and can appear as either plaintiff or defendant in legal proceedings. They also serve the all-important function of shielding its owners from full liability of its actions.
So yes, in America, it is proper to say "Microsoft was" or "Google has".
Why was the parent modded "Insightful", when his comment was obviously meant to be "Funny".
Or has Slashdot been compromised by the secret police, in which case...
I, for one, welcome our new randomly house-searching overloards.
Right, and every two years 1/3 of the Senate and the entire House of Reps comes up for re-election. The framers of the constitution didn't want to empower the legislature to appropriate funds for a length of time that might outlast those members elected terms.
He's not a "young hacker spammer," he's a real-life open-outcry securities trader, you insensitive clod!

Pretty much anything that any investor does in securities markets that ISN'T motivated by a perception of value (either over or under) is considered market manipulation by the (sometimes overly broad) definitions the SEC has laid out. Sending out these type of SPAMs, whether the spammer is associated with the target company or not, is likely to be considered securities fraud by the SEC.
As far as making money is concerned, it's usually better to appeal to the (dumb) masses than the intellectual few. In addition to there being more of them, they are also dumb, which means that they'll more easily be separated from their money.
These NH police will only pay in the court of public opinion. According to section 570-A:6 of the NH Wiretapping law, that tape is not admissible in a court of law.
Sorry, I thought it was obvious. For those who are not familiar with the pantheon of racial and ethnic slurs, "toaster-face" is a derogatory term for a cyborg.
I would love a WoW plug-in that automatically translated all occurrances of "fag" and "gay" into some other bigoted phrases of my choosing -- "jew", "nigger", "spic", "toaster-face", just to name a few.

I heard that you need a fusion reactor in order to power the PS3. Sounds like this guy is half-way there.

Does it come in any flavors other than orange? I'm allergic to orange.
I, for one, welcome our... umm, what kind of overlords are we welcoming again?
You say po-TAY-toh, I say po-TAH-toh...
Beam me up, Scotty.... oh wait, not that kind of transporter.
