... I think of Rampling.

Will be paid for by a random credit card number.

My Honda has a sparkplug change every 110k. I couldn't believe it, ocming from older cas, so I changed them at 89k, they still looked great. $12@

Sends junk data instead of true data for any app.

Probably not any more once Steve hears about it. iP5 will probably have a 6 MP camera from another vendor.

US Bank already sucked, their website sporting the worst GUI since Windows 3. I had an REI Visa with them, their website would show me paid with zero balance even though I was carrying, and wouldn't let me add a payment, but then would suddenly show me overdue and add a late fee. I'd call up, they'd sometimes credit me, and it would start all over again. For over a decade I had no missed payments, suddenly I was having one every month.

It got fixed the day the new regs took effect, up to that point they were minting money from that website. They had plenty of collections people, often not very smart, often it took a couple of tries to get a payment made.

All in all, a nightmare compared to any other vendor I used, and a blight on REI's customer service rep. When the chance came, I paid them off first and kept away.

So this morning I got this in my email...

I think it is only stupid evil companies that were using Epsilon. Litmus test.

Lieberman simply lets Amazon know that a bill requiring internet tax collection is under consideration.

fressen is when animals eat, essen is humans eating.

I have the same issue in Seamonkey, just posted about it on the Mozillazine forums as well. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1811375

The car the trooper was driving has a start/stop button. When moving above a certain speed it only works to STOP if you hold it for 3 seconds. It was a rental and he hadn't read the manual or been given an orientation, obviously.

Whatever happened to HotBot?

a penis enlarger that "just worked".

Way back in the 60's, when Eisenhower's interstates were killing their passenger traffic, but the ICC was making them keep serving communities with passenger trains, the railroads agreed to always run Amtrak trains on first priority if the government would please please take passenger trains off their hands.

Typical of corporations, they forgot these promises once they got out from under, and I've heard managers from most major US railroads laughing about stinging and delaying Amtrak trains. Part of this is agreements with shippers like UPS, where each minute late costs lots of money in refunds, and part of this is that they seem to keep only the most incompetent people, since most US Corps are rife with nepotism and fear of competence.

So building parallel tracks ought to be sponsored in part by the freight railroads, who have been making profits all through the recession we've been having, and have been upgrading their own rails in anticipation of the recession's end. They ran passenger trains when they were the only game in town and could charge what they liked, then when there was competition they cried their way out of continuing the very public service they advertised only years earlier.

Also, how about trucks really paying for the damage they do to highways instead of being subsidised. I heard from a state DOT official that trucks do 55,000 times as much damage as a car in passing over a given square foot of test pavement.
