The Time-Warner cable division is already split from the rest of the Time-Warner conglomerate.

However, despite being headquartered in the same building as Time Warner, Time Warner Cable is no longer affiliated with Time Warner, having been spun out to shareholders in March 2009.

Comment If you don't want to vote, out of "protest" (Score 1) 836

I understand the desire to send a "protest" vote by not voting for a congressman or senator that has broken your heart, but you should still vote for down-ballot local candidates (sheriffs, judges, freeholders, AG's, etc) and ballot initiatives that have a direct, local impact on you and your community. (And hopefully, while you're in that booth, you'll change your mind about voting for the big-ticket candidates. I mean, you're already there, right?)

Why is this illegal? Why is this any different than a commercial from a movie pulling only the good quotes from Roger Ebert and Gene Shalit? The retailer is under no obligation to publish unfavorable reviews on their own website, whether written by professional reviewers or the public at large. Assuming the company is based in the US, from a First Amendment standpoint, the government cannot force them to publish bad reviews on their own website.

Having worked in an admissions department at a hospital, I can tell you that SNNs are rarely verified by admissions personnel. Equal parts laziness due to job dissatisfaction and lack of time due to overwhelming workload. We would key in whatever number the patient gave us. It would be quite easy to provide a fake number and the hospital would not be aware.
