... and just set reminders so I don't forget to pay them. There's no sense in trusting the company to get the job done right when they could have an accounting glitch and decide to debit your checking account 1 cent 3,400 times instead of just billing you for $34, or deciding you really owe $1500 instead of $15. Both of those can leave you in a world of shit with your bank, either through your bank's excessive use policies or through overdraft fees.
Business Informatics (BI) shows numerous similarities to the discipline of Information Systems (IS) which can mainly be found in English speaking parts of the world. Nevertheless there are a few major differences that make Business Informatics very attractive for employers:
1. Business Informatics includes information technology, like the relevant portions of applied computer science, to a much larger extent compared to Information Systems.
2. Business Informatics has significant constructive features meaning that a major focus is on the development of solutions for business problems rather than simply describing them.
But aren't those scores based on hard values? Punches thrown vs. landed, that sort of thing. It's not like they're judging the artistic quality of the fight or something.
Anybody who really wants the mailing list can put the email coming from it in the contact list.
When Yahoo blocks somebody that gets reported as spam, they don't just update their spam filters - they forcibly block incoming SMTP traffic from the offending mail server. Further messages never make it past Yahoo's MX, let alone getting to individual spam quarantines.
I have fought my share of battles with their abuse department for the same reason as this mailing list, and it's a royal pain in the ass.
It's never been a big enough issue over the last eight years for me to do anything about, honestly. I know I have a 15 gallon tank, and I know I get 26-27 miles per gallon because I'm checking it every time I gas up. That means once my trip meter hits about 250-300 miles, it's about time to gas up.
If that's the case, do you think that gives them the right to go rifling through that and whatever else they please even though it's completely unrelated to the problem?
In that case, no - but like you said, we don't know enough about the nature of the problem. What if he's running a mailing list off of a table in his SQL database, and the list is what he was having a problem with? I'm hazarding a guess that it is, because if one of my hosting customers calls me with an e-mail problem I'm not going to just dig through their website looking for SQL data to peek at otherwise.
Guess what? When you rent out a house to other people, you don't have the right to snoop on your renter's. You can't just access their house whenever you please. There's an expectation of privacy and I think the same applies here.
If I make a "support call" to the owner of the house/apartment I'm renting - say I tell them the air conditioning isn't working - at that point I'd half expect them to go just about anywhere in inside making sure vents aren't closed, and that cooled air is making it into every room, etc.. At that point, if there's something I don't want them to see I need to have it locked up and put away.
By the same token, if this guy doesn't want his hosting company to look at the SQL database they are hosting for him when he asks them for support, he needs to find a way to secure it, or put it someplace else.
Fine, but harassing retail workers with questions like "Why does iTunes still contain so much DRM-laden music?" isn't going to accomplish anything any more than asking a gas station clerk what their supplier's stance is on peak oil. These guys are asking the right questions, but they're asking the wrong people.
Marketing's a bitch, isn't it. Cable and satellite providers are poking at each other in advertisements over who has more HD channels when they could be a little bit more forthcoming and compete over a completely different metric, like how many hours of HD programming are provided per week or something.
Yeah, I'm betting a lot of those measures they are implementing aren't sustainable in the long term and will promptly vanish once the last event is over.

Not me, but then again I don't watch movies actively wondering how I can draw parallels between plot elements or a character's lines and the real world. That's not my idea of entertainment.
Apple knows exactly how much it costs.
But since its Apple [ closed source ], your SOOL.
In other words, all the fanboys out there
will pay 1000.00 a month for ANYTHING from apple.
And what precisely would Apple's love for money have to do with an AT&T sales rep's inability to tell somebody how much the taxes and surcharges on an AT&T phone plan?
Oh wait, I'll answer that for you. The answer is nothing, and you didn't let that stop you from posting a bunch of useless irrelevant bullshit did you? No, you sure didn't.
It's because there is an unpopular Republican in the White House that is easy to take a shot at. It'll go back to being a Democratic conspiracy if Obama is elected. Assigning blame/taking credit for the status of the economy also seems to work this way.

Good for you.

Yep, it's a major pain in the ass to click the "print story" link at the bottom... ;)

Mythbusters already said that wouldn't work. However, you might pull it off with a dead caterpillar instead of a dead bumblebee.
Eurosport is great. I loved watching that channel when I lived in Germany.
and with all the shitty stunt china pulls, in tibet, in darfur, suppressing bloggers, olympics are all the while less attractive.
Add beating Japanese journalists, and new sidewalks already falling apart to the list. We already know their environmental initiatives aren't sustainable, but when it comes to construction and the press, they aren't even trying.
But aren't those scores based on hard values? Punches thrown vs. landed, that sort of thing. It's not like they're judging the artistic quality of the fight or something.
Yeah, that kind of stuff just pisses me off. I hated that I needed to install the "duct tape" mod for Doom 3 just so I could see what was going on.

Funny, but not news.
O rly? That must be why this was posted in the Entertainment section, then.
Peart is a fantastic writer. If he put out a thesis in anything I'd take a look just because it'll be an interesting read.

The one in my car is always wrong - it's broken, and reads as empty all the time. ;) But I have noticed that in some other cars I've driven, though.

Next they'd have you believe that girls fart and use the internet too... I'm not buying it!
Tell them their parents hate it. Naturally, they'll rebel!
