That's great to hear but I'd also like to know about the Safeway story that Consumerist killed. You know, the one about Bob Gordon calling Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi pigs.

Care to enlighten us?

Unlike you I can admit when I make a mistake. It was your girlfriend who you were supposed to marry. She left you for a gentleman who is blind, if I remember the story correctly.

I'm not sure how long you've been coming here CreekDog but in the years I've been here I have to agree with everything you posted about stevedave.

Unfortunately, other than you blowing off some steam, and rightly so I might add, nothing you, or I, or anyone else says will change his holier-than-thou attitude. It seems stevedave believes himself to be someone special.

Most of the time I read the posts here and never say anything to him. This time though what he said made me want to puke. I 100% agree with you. If you notice he hasn't yet tried to say he didn't mean it like it sounded. He has said that once or twice in the past. However, for the most part he seems to have an attitude that says he really he doesn't believe he can say or do anything that is wrong. In other words I believe he is a megalomaniac.

SteveDave or what ever the hell you want to call yourself...You not feeling sorry for the children shows that you are a heartless S0B. I know that I'll be ripped here because you have some people fooled into believing you are somebody special. You may think you're special on the internet, but in real life you are a PO$

No wonder your wife left you!

FCC Wants To Know If It Sometimes Might Be Okay To Jam Cellphones In Interest Of Public Safety

There is one thing I haven't seen mentioned here. Does anyone really believe the powers that be are not going to use jamming against us just because we, the people, tell them we don't want it? I would hope the people here are not that naive.

I'd be willing to bet the proverbial house and car that the government already has in place the ability to shut down any and all of the services we depend on. I'd also be willing to bet they will use that ability the moment they feel too much heat from the us. If they suspect a revolt coming then it's goodbye to those services.

"I have no issue with localized jamming for areas of around a movie theater in size, active / deactivatable only by a person inside that area itself to allow for quick deactivation in case of emergency."

There is at least one inherent problem with that. Let me give you two examples;

1. You are in a theater with someone. It looks like they are having a heart attack or something else that needs quick medical attention. You try your cell phone...nothing. You might try a second time...still nothing. By the time you get to a phone that works the person with you could be dead.

Let's say you know your cell phone won't work because the theater has it posted. You still need to find your way out of the theater then find the person who can turn off the jamming. All the while precious seconds are being lost.

2. You are in a restaurant, theater, etc. The baby sitter has your cell phone number. Something happens at home and the sitter needs to get in touch with you. S/he can't because the signal is being blocked. You have no way of knowing there is an emergency until you get home.

I know you could give the sitter the phone number of where you are going to be but this, once again, wastes precious moments. In fact if you are in a movie theater and the sitter calls s/he might have to wait until the end of the automated message before she can even get the "real" number to reach an actual person. By then...who knows?

File Sharing Site Megupload Is Shut Down By The U.S. Government

"It's good to see the government going after such dangerous, harmful criminals."

In addition to letting the people in the banking industry get away with causing much more damage than the $500 million, or so, that Megaupload supposedly cost copyright holders.

While I am against piracy I am also against these fucking corporations taking over our country while most of our elected officials kiss the corporate asses of whoever lines their pockets.

It's time for the people to take back what is ours. I would like it to be done through voting but it may be too far gone for that to happen in our lifetime, if ever.

If CVS Sells You Something Expired, It's Your Own Damn Fault

CVS is trying to cover their corporate asses. Read the article about them selling out of date items at:

http://www.dailyfinance.com/2009/06/11/cvs-slammed-again-for-selling-expired-products/

They were doing it 2 1/2 years ago and they are still doing it.

I wonder how the consumer is supposed to check the expiration date on their prescriptions since they don't see the bottle the prescription was filled from. They could ask to see the bottle but that doesn't mean they will be shown the "real" one. They could be shown one with a current date instead of the one that expired months or years ago.
