I don't get why this is so hard for people. If YOU prefer to wake up and hour early or later depending on the time year to go with the daylight, then DO SO YOUSELF. Change your alarm clock setting don't force the entire world to go back and forth hour. We no longer need to change the time for energy savings, electronics need no longer be set to turn off base on a hardcoded time of day, you can set it to turn on/off on different times throughout the year, or even based on if its bright outside or not tech that allows this has improved alot in 50 years.

The state probably does have a great deal of authority to impose whatever regulation they want however that doesn't mean the regulation is something the attorney general can just make up and impose he would probably have anyway leeway he wants to impose and enforce restrictions imposed by the governor or the state senate or whoever makes the laws and safety regulations here but it is not his in his office to create them.

And any company will fire someone who spoke to the media without authorization. The company I work for has a lot of regulations about employees speaking publicly while also publicly naming their employer. There's plenty of precedence for this I haven't read any of the "whistle blower" laws in this area but surely they are for violations of established law and safety regulations not just something they don't like.

I'm disappointed in Github for taking it down in the first place. As you said the RIAA would not have a claim even if it was valid reason for a take down request as it was not a service they own. I was under the impression you can't file a DMCA on someone else's behalf? Isn't there a penalty for misrepresenting a claim?

Never heard of it

Judging on the so few comments I'm not the only one.

All these unlimited plans all have their own conditions and terms that allow this the industry learned that lesson with advertising internet speeds now everything is UP TO so and so. Even unlimited long distance from your phone companies cell or landline have actual soft limits where you will get warning letters from abuse if you pass them. I remember reading somewhat that some of the cable companies will give you a warning letter at 4,000+ minutes for residential if you do it 2-3 months in a row? the number could be wrong but i know there's a soft limit that raises flags

If Cox is anything like my ISP it will have clear causes against running certain types of servers which someone running 35mb/s 24/7 will most certainly be in violation of they don't even need to pretend about all this speed caps they could cut off his service with cause.

Plus cell phone companies have been doing this for years Unlimited is still unlimited at 35mb/s or 35 kb/s if it still works at all its still not capped.

I have a strong feeling these employees will be fired in a few days. After all publicly complaining about their warning to stoke further news against amazon is a blatant violation of the warning they were just given.

I've written in forums and such about my employer when they come up in the news on an issue I happen have an opinion about but I have never said in at any point online I was an employee. It's common sense in corporate world to have a layer of anonymity if you want to speak about your boss.

I don't understand why it would be so difficult and chancy? If it is already stable enough to not have fallen already it should be easy to prevent it from falling on top of any unstable structure. Scaffolding is by it nature open and full of gaps could they not build another more stable scaffold underneath it and around it with material draped and tied down to carry away anything that falls? I'm sure they couldn't cover things completely but there are ways to fill in gaps. Spray the whole thing with some type of hardening foam and just carry it away in chucks that you saw off.

This cancellation policy is just BS. Cable companies already allow time to back out the contract. I know Comcast allows 30 days, Illinois laws actually requires 2 months for cable tv contracts

This law changes nothing.

The false advertising is mainly with the now popular Broadcast TV Fees and Regional sports fees which should be built into their package price since they are not for optional content. So they advertise and promote a rate, then when you actually sign up for service you see $20-30 of these "fees" on the bottom line. This law does not prevent it because they are not hidden when you sign up they are just not disclosed in advertisements. They can also change them at will with only a months notice because any contract you sign excludes those fees as part of the contract.

And no, you can't get out of contract after they change these junk fees, because the contract already stated those fees are not bound by the contract.

Yea this is how most repairs go these days. Anything that requires any real long term work or investment is just patched to the barest minimum to get working "for now". Most repairs to underground cabling is not replacing the cabling that's damaged, no they will adjust the levels of an amplifier or just attach to you to different port that's getting a better connection or run a patch/split from another location. You'd be surprised at how many times someone who's had something fix now has a neighbor who is now having your issue (ie they swapped the port)

You can forget any kind of help for damage that's small enough to cause only occasional issues.

We don't know if the gouging is on verizons' side. This tower may not belong to them and the owner of the tower might be charging verizon quite a bit for the roaming data. I remember someone telling me once people living on the border in some cities have to be careful with the phones as it was easy to pick up a tower from over the border some towers placed very very close on purpose to pick up this traffic and then gouge on them. I think they were talking about Niagara but i'm not certain.

I'm not sure I believe this article. I went through a tremendous amount of effort to stop my computer from auto updating as I want to update on MY schedule not some you have to do this in 18 hours or else garbage. I really doubt most users go through the trouble its not as simple as turning windows update off as it will turn itself back on. Perhaps if they didn't have Windows 10 Home like i do they could stop it easier.

In the end I couldn't stop it I was only able to stop it from rebooting automatically by replacing the task file with a garbage file that the system had no access so it couldn't automatically erase and then recreate the task.

This. All these comments I'm reading people think that keeping these accounts on file is free or the cost to keep them is paid by having the cash on hand. The cost to keep these accounts its not simply in the cost to maintain their book keeping accounts it is also in liability. There is always going to be a potential liability and they may even have some insurance against it a cost that might lower if they purge these old accounts.

The company I work for does not purge old accounts like this that have a credit balance however I know for a fact that extra resources were needed to convert these accounts when we made changes to our billing system as they still had some old legacy data that did not copy over through automation that some of the more recent accounts had no trouble with. A small company may not want that kind of expense.

This. I see so many stories of people complaining about their services complaining about contracts and such however they almost always fail to mention the details. Any service, I don't care who its from or how good they are could have technical issues sometimes these issues are not apparent especially in intermittent service situations and it takes time to track such things down time they likely never gave their provider or in many cases i hear, even reported it to their provider. Just calling up and saying my service is "down" all the time is such a vague concept it doesn't tell a provider anything from their point of view such a call does not distinguish yourself from someone who just has a crappy router.

I doubt this contract is so much different than other business internet contracts there are probably clearly outlined clauses for up time requirements and reporting of service interruptions, time to repair, and dispute of service level.

On the other side there ARE cases when a provider will simply be cheap on the repair because they won't commit the resources to truly fix something such as just increases the power levels on an amplifier to overcome a signal issue instead of digging up and replacing the actual fault. From what I read here however I don't think thats the case this time.

I just can't understand this. Amazon is Oracle's customer, you don't speak to your customers like that in any business If I had an interest in Oracle i'd call for him to be fired over it. Even if they are a competitor as well if they weren't an ass about it took it with some dignity they'd save face and might more of what they have.
