There have been puds ex's for a pretty long time. It's only now that IP has become so outrageous that they believe they have the right to make such laughable demands. They are not pointing out he is a pud, they are pointing out that this belief that we can somehow own and monetize our every idea and experience on the backs of others has caused the pud to think his demands are rational.
The statement that the PSN was down was incorrect and still is incorrect. Still up. Still signed in. Not saying there wasn't an exploit, just saying that the PSN is not currently down here in eastern US.
If Bluehost charged extra to keep the users anonymous, they should certainly refund all or at least a portion of that cost since they were in breach of contract.
Been using Skype as my home phone for about a year now. I live in the mountains and don't get a good cell signal here because of the terrain. Skype charges me $2.99 a month and for that I get my own phone number. This means that people can call me directly from their landline, cellular or any software that can call phone numbers.
I can also call anyone in the US and I think Canada (haven't looked into it since I don't know anyone there, yet) without any additional charges.
I can do this from my computer or from my iPhone at any wifi hotspot (helpful again if the cell signal is not too great).
I give out my Google Voice number as my primary contact, and that service rings my cell and my Skype.
Not to mention all my friends from Facebook and gaming friends who have Skype can call me direct Skype to Skype without them having purchased a number and $3 a month subscription.
My only concern is what changes Microsoft will make. I am perfectly happy with the service, but if they jack up the monthly fee, I will find some other solution.
Well he does describe himself in the suit as "one of the most renowned players in the NBA." I don't think he could have been any clearer unless he had stated "Plaintiff is one of the most self important players in the NBA."
As long as everything she claims as truth cannot be proven a lie, then her life with him is hers to discuss.
Her "life rights" include being able to talk about anything that has happened to her and her feelings in response to anything or anyone in her life, or even her feelings towards something of which she is merely aware.
Actually, she doesn't even need to be aware of/educated on a subject to be able to talk about it. :)
It looks like Mr. Bosh is attempting to claim his rights trump her rights because he feels more important.
I bought The Second Book of Tao by Stephen Mitchell from Amazon.com. I got it new, hardcover for $3.50, the ebook version was $9.99. I will never pay more for an ebook than a physical printed book. Ever.
Generally, the way proof works, is you have to prove that something IS not prove that something ISN'T. Giant purple dancing unicorn-bears are not accepted to exist until someone provides evidence they do not. The argument that God exists, you can't prove that he doesn't is just as flawed.
Perhaps he means that, assuming all governments are by nature corrupt and deceptive:
Any perfectly secure e-voting would also be secure from government tampering, thus prevent any fixing of results and thus be unacceptable by the government.
Any e-voting system accepted by the government would not be secure from government tampering, and thus be intolerable to the voters.
How many less important, easy issues should be addressed before actually facing the difficult tasks? Just this one? Just get the whole TV volume thing out of the way and then they can focus on the really important, but difficult stuff?
Yeah, popup ads annoy me, too. It should be a relatively easy, bipartisan thing that can be handled quickly by the government. After they fix my TV volume experience, they should block pop ups. Then they can get back to the hard stuff.
Unless there is anything else that annoys anyone. :)
I disagree. I think fewer people are affected by TV commercial volume than by any number of problems that the government DOES need to be working on. So louder commercials annoy some of those who still actually watch TV live with commercials (as opposed to DVRing stuff to watch on their own schedules and skipping commercials altogether). Seriously, the federal government should step in and make laws about every single thing that "annoys" a percentage of the people?
If it annoys you that a commercial is loud and that you have to actually move your arm and thumb for a few seconds to the point where you want Congress to make laws so you don't have to, I think the population can also come up with a few thousand other "quick and easy fixes" that Congress can do first as well. I'm sure they would love that in fact. It's much easier than actually addressing the real problems, isn't it?
And they can say, look! We did something. Now you don't have to turn down commercials.
Of course, when your unemployment runs out, it's gonna be hard to pay your cable and electric bills so you can enjoy being able to sit in front of your TV without having to move when a commercial comes on. That's pretty annoying, too.
They'll figure that out just as soon as they fix all the other easy things.
In the US we have rampant unemployment, immigration issues, people losing their homes, millions having to go without adequate health care, a failing educational system and a crumbling infrastructure with bridges collapsing and roads breaking up.
I know those are problems, but I'm glad we realize how important it is to regulate TV volume. It's an outrage how I have to push the volume up and down buttons now and then.
Of course, before that, are we sure we don't need to see if there are any steroid abuses in pro golf and pro bowling? I know they spent a year fixing baseball, but let's not think that work is done.
