The board decided to hold off on development until resolving the issue of Solakians involvement. He got involved in Bible.com as a way of settling a $400,000 debt. He was probably owed $400,000 and this was the payoff.
From the article it sounds like he wanted to take over and the rest of the board didn't take kindly to it. So they halted development and obviously this guy is suffering for it.
Sounds to me like he is getting his "fair share."
Now if the dude wasn't so power hungry, the board may have done its duty, continued development and he might be happy.
I obviously know nothing aside from what is in the article, so take this all with a grain of salt. Or a pillar.
If he accepted the offer to pay off a $400,000 debt, he took the risk and he should accept it as such.
Where I work is a sign:
"Our customers are the most important element of our business. They are not dependent on us - we are dependent on them. They are not an outsider in our business, they are part of it. We are doing them a favor by serving them; they are doing us a favor by giving us the opportunity to do so."
I wish the telco's, newspapers, Scribd, etc, would figure this out.
I am a TW internet subscriber. Cancelled TV over a year and a half ago. Started netflix about 6 months after. They tried to cap and bill, but we protested and they backed off. Guess they want to DRIVE people to netflix. Maybe they think cap and bill will see the light of day and people will cancel netflix and stop watching hulu. Fat chance!
Also, its not clear to me that was a fundraiding commercial but a smear against her opponent. I didn't see her asking for any money, just saying she endorsed the message.
Where does losing anything I have come into that definition?
Where does it say anywhere in that definition that I have to lose something to be selfless?
It also references Unselfish as a synonym. That itself leads to Generous.
Still nothing in those words about losing anything. To be sure, there is giving, but giving doesn't imply you've lost anything. There is not necessarily a sacrifice.
Where the fuck is RJR when you need him for some good entertainment?
Geez, I miss that guy. I'm no good at impersonations, can someone whip up a psuedo-RJR post if he doesn't come out of hiding? Please?
Anyway, since Newegg rocks, I hope they win. I'm sure even if they lose they will do everything in their power to make it a good thing for the consumer, as they consistently do.
NY State wants Newegg to collect state taxes? Ok, they did that for a few months and then told NY State to fuck off. Thank you for that one, Newegg.
Wow, is it really that hard? I grew up recycling, I'm in my 30's now and I've done it since I was 10 or 12. It will never be commonplace? You want someone else to pay you to sort it? What? Are you that fucking lazy?
I have 2 bins in my kitchen. They are right next to each other. If what I've said is already over your head, you've got bigger problems. So I have 2 bins, both next to each other. When I make dinner, or feed the cats, or whatever, its trivial to put the paper/glass/metal/plastic into the recycling and the garbage in the trash. If what I've said up to now is over your head or beyond your means, you are the laziest person I will have ever met. I don't even have to think about it, since they are next to each other. It works in my kitchen. Maybe it doesn't for you, but that's not my problem, or the cities problem, or whatever, that's your problem. The only time it takes is moving the recycling bin out once a week if its full.
Really, how hard is it to recycle? (and I'm not talking about the implications of RFID on your recycling bin)
And I already prefer to buy items that are made from recycled materials.
Maybe I've got it easy cause I grew up this way. Maybe I'm a freak. I thought it was pretty normal.
