    Just like they can buy gas with your CC if they steal your wallet. Oh that's right, there's fraud protection on that credit card, and since your speedpass is usually linked to it, you have the same protection. Just call and get it canceled.

    Regardless of what you think about it the RIAA does own the rights to the songs and you're not legally entitled to play the songs to the general public without permission. If you don't like it find music from people that are not RIAA memebers and get the rights.

    What are you looking to do? I have a PII266Mhz laptop that I use for everything. Wink2k, Office, Winamp, Netstumbler and dual boot into Gentoo and use Gimp, Evolution, Gaim. It's not super speedy but it's plenty fast for normal use.

    That is exactly what they want. They want the tax, but they know it won't pass, so they make up something that sounds much worse so they won't give you the tax.. We're gonna cut off you legs. NO DON'T DO THAT! Okay, we'll shoot you dead.. Please, please, cut off my legs..

  17. Re:I'm glad I'm not in New Hampshire... on E-commerce Sites to Collect Sales Taxes Nationwide · · Score: 1
    It really depends on what town you live in. And remember we also have no income tax.

    MA had something on the ballot to remove their income tax and somebody I know down there said that if they removed his income tax and DOUBLED his property taxes (to well above what he would pay in NH) he would still pay less in taxes.

    I'll stick with no income or sales tax.. For me at least it works out to paying less in taxes.

  23. Re:Waste on One Answer To Spam: Sell Your Interruption Time · · Score: 3, Informative
    Umm, what are they selling you? If it's a slinkey just call the slinkey company and tell them that the company they are using to do their telemarketing is doing so unlawfully. I'm sure they'd be more then helpful (I've actually had to do this for some telemarketing scumbags that were trying to get me to get the local paper, the newspaper compay was VERY agry and ended up dumping them as telemarketers)

  24. Waste on One Answer To Spam: Sell Your Interruption Time · · Score: 5, Informative
    First off, if it's telemarketing all you have to do is ask to be put on a do not call list. If they call back within a year then they just gave you $500 - See http://osiris.978.org/~brianr/telemarketing/

    If they're spammers good luck collecting since most of the time the headers are all forged anyway or they're coming from some asian country.
