I believe there is an opening in a PR department somewhere for you.

Well, then send that mailer in! I have had 3 discs at the top of my queue labelled as "Very long wait" for TWO YEARS because of people like you and people you know.

Right. When comcast starts to get money from Netflix and maybe hulu, then what is the incentive for them to treat the consumers with respect?

I doubt that. Suppose after 7 minutes, the customer agrees to keep the service? Then you already have a pending deactivation in the queue, and the service would be cut, possibly BEFORE the customer hangs up. If the customer finds out that his service has indeed been cut even after agreeing to keep it, that would just give him more reason to cancel the service.

Or... You could just say two words: "Too Expensive". Comcast asked me why I cancelled my service 2+ years ago, and that's the answer I gave them. Apparently, they believed me, and I was a comcast customer for longer than 9 years before I cancelled.

Now here is the interesting part: Ryan Block is an internet celebrity, and his wife is Veronica Belmont, also an internet celebrity. I would not be surprised if Comcast had a note of this in his file, and that is why the rep was so adamant about getting a good reason from him. It's almost like Aquaman calling the local water works company and telling them that he doesn't want water anymore. They wouldn't believe him.

You can roll it up into a cylinder and then... Well, you get the idea.

Valeris: "I do not remember."

Spock: "A lie?"

Valeris: "A choice."

Who fills out a loan application on a phone? That has got to be the most painful web experience ever!

If the robots are controlled by iPhones, then they will probably just not wake up after new years eve, or daylight saving time.

Chinese robots are cheaper.

Honestly, and a lot of people are not going to like this, I don't believe that this child's marker deserves the Superman logo. Why not put the logo on the marker of Christopher Reeve or George Reeves. They are the only people who would have actually earned it. The death of this child is tragic, but other than being a superman fan, what was his connection?

What do you do with electronic cigarettes? If you can't power it up, it gets taken from you. If you can (and do), it gets confiscated because there is no smoking in the terminal.

That sounds like a good name for a magazine: "Linux Extremist"

More likely is that the internal social network will be a place where employees bitch about work problems thinking that someone in power actually READS those messages and cares. It will turn into a suggestion box that nobody every opens.

It's getting harder and harder to even RESPECT the internet....
