They are hoping their rapidly dwindling customer base will create an "Anti-Sopa" like backlash and force the government to back off and approve the merger.

Any time worked off the clock, whether it be via E-mail or phone will be logged and turned in for payment. To not do so is grounds for termination.

Sorry I am late. If you are going to be a dumb-ass, you better have deep pockets.

They are just patenting every hair-brained idea they come up with for future fees and lawsuits. Don't innovate, litigate!

Sigh ....you are probably right.

Will slashdot ever do away with the anonymous coward abilty to post? That would eliminate most of the trolls.

"I'm the Senior Systems administrator for a small trade college." Not a company. totally different animal he is dealing with here.

Possibly but I doubt it. The British have a wonderfully dry and droll sense of humor. I think these nit-wits are dead serious.

On their hands and not enough important problems in the world to occupy their pointy little heads.

W7 32bit on PC, 64bit on laptop, linux on another PC, WXP on another PC, Droid X and Bionic phones, iPad II at work and home. I feel greatly qualified to brag on any and/or all. I will not have any other phone than a Droid. One more worthless opinion, thanks in advance for wasting 12.5 seconds of your life reading my useless drivel.

Normally don't but just had to this time. Merry Christmas!

The coward part in your post is dead on the mark. People like you hide like rats in the woodwork and only come out in the dark of night when you hope you will never be seen or discovered. (by the way, I am A white male) However, I am not a coward like you. I pity your kind, you hate yourselves so much that it spills over onto other more innocent people. Go crawl back in your hole boy and leave us all alone.

Yet you are afraid to use your real name to reply. Sigh.....typical IT zombie geek personality.

If I had any mod points left you would get them all for using common sense. I am on call 24/7 but even at that, there are limits. My profiles are set to phone only at night so that my shift Engineers can reach me if necessary but they know to call my cell number and not my forwarded desk phone. I will read e-mails but only respond to critical needs.

Just like all of my posts here, my e-mails have no worth and no one in their right mind would want to read them in the first place.
