Maybe start a petition on "We the People" with as many recent movie names in it as possible? Plus links to the infamous infringer, IMDB.

Seriously. Could have used Xmodem. Might have even had Zmodem in there. It's super slow-- who cares. It will get the job done. A Win 98 box with no USB tells me it could have even been upgraded from DOS, so it might have had the INTERLNK program on there. Heck, I'd figure out a way of dumping files via COPY to the LPT1 if someone could write the program on the destination box with an IEEE1284 cable between the two. Would have cost less than $30K.

That's kind of where I am. If AC had the required experience, why did Mr. Fire Engine Face suggest he play around with a Windows network at home?

Yeah, people are working until retirement age now

Well, you have to retire from something.

I got the home loan before I did all of this

Yeah, that. Can't get a mortgage with no credit. Kind of the flaw in your plan. Cars, boats, and unimproved rural land can certainly all be paid for in cash by someone in the middle class, if they have the time and willpower. Houses? Only if you have a very particular set of skills.

Wow, you told him!

Seems like it should have been part of the plan, right? He should not have been any part of the ticket buying process, regardless of the law.

Your life has become tiresome. Now touch my monkey.

Plug something unexpected in and security shows up, not the admin.

You really want the guys who don't know what they're looking at to show up instead of the admin? How about the admin shows up, WITH security if it's something highly suspicious like a WAP suddenly appearing... and of course, immediately being blocked due to an unregistered MAC.

That's why an autopsy is being employed-- there was no PHYSICAL evidence of suicide. Cops aren't medical experts. Duh.

I don't see how all that could break just when replacing an ALTERNATOR. I think your body control module (BCM) and maybe your main computer (ECM) were damaged at some point-- and that doesn't happen from just your alternator dying and allowing your battery to go flat. The shop that replaced your alternator should have fixed everything for free, because they probably broke it.

Um... you're supposed to dim (dip) your high beams when you approach another vehicle. Yeah, I get pissy when someone doesn't do this.

In 1999, Worldcom already owned UUNet, and MCI had already merged with Worldcom. After the accounting scandal, they just changed their name from Worldcom to MCI as part of a public image move, I imagine. The first round of layoffs was pretty much directed by the courts as part of the consent decree.

I wouldn't either, if I had to look at it through the hyperbole-tinted glasses you seem to wear.

I don't think he embezzled a billion dollars. He conspired to overstate revenue and profits in order to keep stock prices up and thus boost his reputation and performance bonuses. Regardless, it's fraud.
