Not to mention you will always have the idiots that think spamming works, try it, realizes much effort it really is and then quite. then someone else starts.. and the cycle continues.
any protections, that is not their job. If you cannot evaluate meeting someone online and then taking it to real life and taking the precautions you are an idiot.
Myspace is not there to protect you and shouldnt have to protect you from yourself.
These are same stupid people that would probably hop right into a strangers car if offered candy.
I simply tell someone at the company to cancel it, and if it is any trouble what so ever i call the card company and tell them, "I cancelled them, but this company has been nothing but grief so I would like to deny credit card authorization in the future"
The credit card company is definately on yourside when it comes to this.
of your credit card company and tell them to stop paying them...
easy..
if you cant find the legit way to cancel cause they want to prevent you from cancelling...just tell your credit card company to not pay them anymore...and for a bonus, tell them you did cancel and that any future charges should be treated as fraudulent...
or do a couple of charge back (dispute the charge on your statement) companies get nailed heavily if they get too many chargbacks.
at 30 dollars a title they wont have all that much raising prices and being a successfull format. hell hd dvd and bluray are both up for grabs whether they will even be relevant in a couple of years.
Insightful? I attended a catholic college yet I never was required to learn anything regarding the religion. The most they made you take was a spirituality class which delved into a variety of topics but was not trying to instill anything other than knowledge.
Just because it is a Christian college does not mean they are teaching Christianity
You have absolutely no expectation for the average person to keep your communication a secret. They are the reciepent and can now do whatever they feel like unless they are bound by certain cases of privilege (lawyers for instance), or signed an NDA.
Just telling them they cant disclose it is not enough, they must acknowledge they wont before you tell them the information
No actually you cant sue for that in 99% of the cases. The prosecutor has to blatantly ignore facts that would obviously clear you as the culprit. you might be able to sue the cops if they fabricated evidence, but the prosecutor is gonna get a pass on that. It is extremely unlikely that the prosecution was based on malice and more likely incompetency.
I personally dont care about what legal agreement you made with your family for the rights to your music.
I will never feel like I am doing wrong when I download a dead artists music. That person's heirs are doing just fine, or they squandered the REAL money they were left. tough shit for them.
Copyright is meant to give incentive to the creator, not the family, to hell with them, they did not make the work, they deserve zero compensation (except in the form of inherentance of money the real creator left them)
They are highly competitive against each other. they are only deadlocked because of their competition, if one just sat back they would soon see their asses handed to them.
Antitrust issues come in when the consumer is getting screwed. in the case of video cards you may only have 2 major options, however they are constantly trying to out innovate the other in order to gain some market share (and not fall behind) defiantly a good situation for the consumer.
there are many monopolies in industries, however if the consumer isnt being adversely affected then the issue isnt raised near as much
Do you think people are gonna actually keep their receipts? you can easily set it to increment one person, make the internal paper trail increment that person, and have a printed receipt for the voter that shows they voted for the other person they wanted too.. unless you round up all those receipts (well simply check the garbage on the way out of the building) the whole concept of a paper trail is just a feel good measure.
why not just dump the electronic voting all together, it is expensive, the machines suck worse than machines that are a 100 years old...
ive got an idea for the feds to do, MANDATE the style of voting ballots, no more of this psychodelic pattern of every fricking county across the US using a different style of ballot, come up with one standard that will be required for everyone to use. then implement it electronically and mechanically.
When trying to reinstall XP the owner rarely seems to know where the disk is. I carry around the 9 in 1 XP cd I downloaded. (dont care that it is a copyright violation, the computers that i install it on are licensed properly)

As someone else put it, they are showing off.

I have never had to show proof that I cancelled.

Barely anything requires you to run as root (so it wont be "easier") so that point is moot.
You cant simply download a cool screensaver and double click it like in windows.
Absolutely, that guy is gonna get sued (and he deserves it)
He should really face criminal charges.

You sound like a dick that i wouldnt want to work for anyways...

I feel the situation, sight has nothing to do with deja vu.

No I think he meant a quality version, last time i checked phppgadmin seriously lacked.
Get a decent browser that remembers passwords, was that sooooo tricky? didnt think so.
And for multiple computers? well i would be using portable firefox in the first place so you dont leave bits of junk behind...
There are technically a non company organization (non profit i believe) acting on behest of the members.
the labels tell the RIAA what to do, not the other way around.

So basically, make a computer with a printer just to have a paper final result...
I prefer everyone just dumps the electronic voting all together, it is a stupid idea, error prone, expensive and far worse than anything in the past.

Call it whatever you want, this is slashdot, it has never aimed to be neutral, objective or whatever.
Why?
People on here do no want neutral, there are a thousand other places for that. People here share a common opinion and expect coverage based on that.
News doesnt have to be neutral, it just shouldnt claim it is when it isnt. Slashdot has never claimed to be neutral.
