Comment Re:I need saturday mail pickup (Score 1) 504

Did you read? "I need saturday mail pickup" "international mail or larger domestic packages" can't be shipped by putting them in the mail box (or the containers that say post office) for pickup. Over 13 ounces domestic you have to bring it to a post office. Pickup implies that you place the item in your mailbox.

I don't think that's necessarily a conclusive argument. I can draw a beautiful picture on page 874 of my personal copy of the federal tax code, but that doesn't make the tax code art.

I guess you've never seen the art section of the New York Times or taken a art class. See this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Readymades_of_Marcel_Duchamp art is whatever you can convince others is art.

Submission + - ABC Pulls Channels From Cablevision (washingtonpost.com) 1

wkurzius writes: Cablevision and ABC have failed to come to agreement after two years of negotiations, and as a result ABC has pulled all their channels from the Cablevision lineup. The dispute is over $40 million in retransmission fees that Cablevision says they won't give to ABC. On the other side, Cablevision has been accused of pocketing $8 billion last year and not being fair to their customers.

Submission + - Reliable Server Hosting Reviews? 1

achbed writes: "My existing hosting provider has been having performance problems lately. A lot of them. So, I'm looking for a new host. However, in my research, I cannot seem to find any place that has an unbiased review or comparison of the various options. There are a ton of "review" sites out there for hosting providers. It seems that the majority of them are nothing but paid link farms for the various hosting providers (read: I have yet to see one that wasn't — see the first 50 entries under a "hosting review" google search). Are there any reliable sources for hosting provider reviews? And if not, can someone recommend a good (reliable) host? (I'm looking for managed hosting (torn between dedicated and limited shared) with the ability to use curl from the server. I *can* run a dedicated server myself, but it's not worth my time to do that at the moment)."

You forget again that teachers only work for 180 days of the year in New York State, sure the 60hr weeks may not balance out the 180 days of work but it is something to consider. Also consider that teachers receive good benefits like most public employees. Also does the teacher in question have tenure?

German Wikileaks Domain Suspended Without Warning 215

mb writes to mention that Germany has gone one step further in impeding access to Wikileaks. Germany's registration authority, DENIC, recently suspended Wikileaks.de without notice. "The action comes two weeks after the house of the German WikiLeaks domain sponsor, Theodor Reppe, was searched by German authorities. Police documentation shows that the March 24, 2009 raid was triggered by WikiLeaks' publication of Australia's proposed secret internet censorship list. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) told Australian journalists that they did not request the intervention of the German government."
