They dont... I get all of my deliveries to my office. Fedex and UPS, come in and want a signature to confirm delivery. (A pain, but I actually like that.) Amazon Logistics... Drops and runs 90% of the time, they dont even bother to try and open the front door, they leave it outside on a busy street and mark it delivered. Thier delivery window is 8am to 8pm (and the 8am is flexible. I have had a package delivered at 7:30am and get the email from Amazon that it was going to be delivered today at 9am. I have had them mark the business as closed and no one there, when lights are on and my front door unlocked. I am NOT amused with them. Heck even USPS is more consistent with delivery than Amazon logistics... Oh and forget calling amazon to find out where your package is... they will get back with you in 48 hours or so... at least UPS hasnt said my package was delivered when it wasnt.

Just because the government knows you cheated on your wife (because it came up in your background clearance check) does not mean that your wife knows. This is leverage.

I used work at such a place. If it came up during a background check that you were having an affair, they would call both you and your wife into the security office and tell the person with the clearance, "you tell them or we will". They cared less about what you did and more for if you could be blackmailed for it.

My largest issues are as follows, LJ subscriber for 5+ years now... I don't own a tablet, and don't like reading on a desktop/laptop... I've been waiting for a good enough tablet that doesn't seem like gouging. I might do a rooted nook color though. For the most part I'm disappointed, but not surprised. I may not renew, will need to see an issue or two, see how they work (bu commentary) for various devices... if they're formatted well for on-screen, will see.

I can't agree more. I have been a subscriber since issue #6. I renewed my subscription for another 100 PRINT issues just 8 months ago. At the time, the digital only subscription was cheaper (This new pricing brings the digital subscription issue price to the same as the previous print subscription price as confirmed by the contents page of the latest print copy) I paid extra to ALSO get the digital copies for the occasional research of an article. I love the print copies and so I paid a premium for them over the digital version. This to me is nothing but a bait-and-switch.

We are talking OSX here, not Windoze... You should learn to read first then respond. The 10.3.5 drivers are hopelessly braindead. 10.3.6 fixes all the driver bugs with regards to NV_register_combiner2 and ARB_fragment_program extensions.
