    Maybe comcast will start delivering what people paid for.
    It's sad that I don't know whether to mod this FUNNY, INSIGHTFUL, or REDUNDANT.

    And if just talking about looks and all, showing fit and lean, non-obese women is a good thing. We've got a horrible obesity problem out there, so, some skinnier role models are a good thing IMHO.

    because there are so many obese role models right now?

    there is an obesity epidemic right now and while there are a multitude of reasons for it, lack of good role models isn't one of them, IMHO

  4. Re:No! on Vista Sales Strong, Higher Than Expected · · Score: 1

    It's kind of like being the the transportation industry, and choosing to specialize in bicycles...economically, it is not a very good plan.

    Wrong mode of transportation.

    I hate use yet another car analogy but..

    Try looking at the auto industry. Ford and GM owned the big pickup truck market and made boatloads of profit on each one. But now that that market is shrinking, they're a-hurtin.

    Meanwhile, smaller, more nimble companies offering more reliable CARS are eating the big 3's (or is it 2 now) lunch. Didn't Toyota just pass GM in worldwide car sales?

    Just because you're the biggest and make tons of profit on your core business doesn't mean it's guaranteed to stay that way. You'd be a fool to think that it will last forever.

    So are grants and scientific papers evolving to use the word "evolution" less?

  6. Re:+ tax on IRS May Ask eBay To Snitch On Sellers · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that sellers will now add a "sales tax" to what they're selling in order to compensate for this new tax?

    They're already charging you a tax. It's called the inflated "shipping charge."

  7. Re:It's their fault. on Amazon Adjusts Prices After Sales Error · · Score: 1

    Our software company inadvertently sent a company three copies of a software package when they only ordered one. Instead of returning the software, they decide to keep and use all 3 copies. I know that this was our fault and the onus should not be on the customer to do ANYTHING.

    We wrote them and explained the situation, basically saying that they're welcome to keep the software but please consider paying some part of it. At no time did we even consider charging them without their consent. It turns out they were happy to pay for the extra copies because it was just ... fair.

    I would bet that a majority of Amazon's customers would be willing to pay the price that Amazon SHOULD have charged, only if Amazon had written a nice note explaining things and asking nicely. And the people who won't pay? Well, stupidity should not be rewarded.

    But charging cards without authorization? Now you're just pissing people off.

    Now imagine when your battery runs out of juice or dies completely. You're out of three devices instead of just one. Hope you like carrying your charger with you at all times too. Unless it comes with a swappable battery, count me out.
