Don't quite get it. At the same time they are banning video games they are increasing the number of licences available to Brothels in anticipation of the Olympics being hosted there. Are there some value problems in this culture or what?
Dell discovered that news of the rebate was spreading online and did nothing to stop it in order to encourage people to buy and inflate their Q4 earnings, according to a news report in the Sunday New York Times. People also called Dell to make sure they would be eligible for the rebates and were told by Dell employees, that yes, they were eligible, the story said.
This is in line with the general French MO. Make a lot of noise. Get everone worked up when infact, your actions mean nothing since you aren't really doing anything in the first place.
Forget the rights. How about the taxes. Obviously a democrat is focusing on this bill. The real issue is the tax pinata that cell phone tax bills have become. The next time you pay that bill, see how much is going to the carrier for the service and how much payola is being spread around to different entities for all sorts of dubious taxes.
It seems wonderful that this type of law has been passed now, before a single ISP customer has been hurt. Usually these laws get passed after someone gets their rights trampled on -- they are wrongly imprisoned or have their reputation ruined unjustly. Let's hope it sticks.

Don't quite get it. At the same time they are banning video games they are increasing the number of licences available to Brothels in anticipation of the Olympics being hosted there. Are there some value problems in this culture or what?

Cell phone user bill or rights
Forget the rights. How about the taxes. Obviously a democrat is focusing on this bill. The real issue is the tax pinata that cell phone tax bills have become. The next time you pay that bill, see how much is going to the carrier for the service and how much payola is being spread around to different entities for all sorts of dubious taxes.
Time and Craigs List
It doesn't suprise me that Time just found about Craig's list. We all know how up on the internet they are over there at Time Warner!
