Re: Charter Cable; It’s your fault, really.

Moved to a new location, and Charter decided to drop the aforementioned discount from CharterSteve, Now I am on the calls and what-have-you to get it all straightened out. Seems to me that nothing but the "address" should change when an account is moved to a new location, right? well, charter has some pretty antiquated programs to cause this much issue.

Update: Just got a call from CharterSteve, He looked into the account and saw that the Customer service person had mus-quoted. So, to make me happy and remedy this, they are giving me credit for the remainder of the 2year agreement. CharterSteve thanks!!

this used to point to a chat, where the agent basically said that what i was told was right, then digressed to a different story... looks like charter took that chat down. So i will remove this post today.

Re: Shell Gas stations and Debit card Holds!

Randal2k — Fri, 06 May 2011 20:26:14 -0000

the fact that it isn't told to a person prior to actually buying gas,
also, they post it on the pumps, when in my state it's illegal to pump
your own gas. it's a lot of failures.

I was informed via Facebook, by a Dish Network worker that the length of "Starz free" is determined by your contract, so it could be 3/6/12 months.

Re: Online Ads….

As the eventual proprietor of an ad-based revenue engine, I have to hope that you are a singularity. I see your point, but I feel that the ads are a reasonable cost to pay in exchange for good "free" content.

I think that my online experience is better with Hulu (example) than without it, and Hulu would not exist without ad revenue.

I really liked FIOS, but we moved and now have U-verse, which is pretty good.

http://bit.ly/coVinF - "Please understand that NCsoft only considers a "hacked" account to be the unauthorized access of an account resulting from a criminal act. " (in other words, It's not our fault!)

And the coupe de ta, "Any items, currency, or experience lost in this incident will not be restored." - "Account owners are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their passwords and security of their accounts at all times."

Yes, If i get my account back I will probably sell it or dismantle it.

Incase your wondering who is MusicRightsNow.org, it's not; "Music rights now” is a community of individuals who believe music has value and is worthy of protection from online theft."

Instead it's really;

AEC One Stop Group . Alliance of Artists and Recording Companies . American Assn. of Independent Music . American Federation of Musicians . American Federation of Television and Radio Artists .

Chip thanks for commenting :)
However, the "Basic campfire" http://thottbot.com/s818 , is not magical at all. Where as the described warlock ability, is a spell, conjuration,dark art, etc..
I can remember back in 2004/5 when you actually had to carry wood and flint in your bags to create the "basic campfire", yes, still could in water.

Yeah.. Dam server has been down forever! I wish blizzard would get it together, or I'm going to have to find something more stable!

LOL, starting a campfire in water a problem? It's a magic fire. You have a problem with a campfire in water, but not that a warlock can send a ghastly ghoul into your toons body and then pull it out to heal himself? lol.

Re: Movie a Night; Saturday – Dagon

christopher i-am-no-one — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 08:52:43 -0000

yes, the story of "dagon" was more or less an afterthought... the film most closely follows selected scenes from the story "the shadow over innsmouth"... it seems difficult for filmmakers to effect a true rendering of most lovecraft tales, although the silent-film "call of cthulhu" is quite excellent... but the most recent, simply called "cthulhu" is a reeking piece of utter garbage, capitalizing on the name while failing to deliver the goods- er, gods... maybe someday someone will make a true lovecraft movie instead of one that is merely "lovecraftian".

Re: Our new Health bill…

"Charles McDowell
Hay Ran, you are not reading the right stuff. If a family or person has to pay more than 8 percent of his wages, than no insurance is required and NO FINES!!"

But, what will that buy? 50$ co-pays, 4,000 deductible? Sure, any one can get health care under the bill, well is required to. But, it does nothing to check or balance the cost of using it. Remember that people with Insurance are going bankrupt due to hospital bills as well!

Sixty-two percent of all bankruptcies filed in 2007 were linked to medical expenses...Of those who filed for bankruptcy in 2007, nearly 80 percent had health insurance.

Another newer study; Medical bills prompt more than 60 percent of U.S. bankruptcies - CNN.com http://bit.ly/ab0N0
"That was actually the predominant problem in patients in our study -- 78 percent of them had health insurance, but many of them were bankrupted anyway because there were gaps in their coverage like co-payments and deductibles and uncovered services," says Woolhandler. "Other people had private insurance but got so sick that they lost their job and lost their insurance.
