And then, as is expected, you get the mindless fools at places like this making snide comments and completely and equally ignorant comments against the Mormon faith, and against her for not believing gay couples should be able to adopt because of the talking points you have by wrote as the only stream of thought you have available to you.

The posts here, and elsewhere is an archetype of the real decay in our society. It isn't religion, it isn't anti-religion. It is the ignorance and pride and egos that prevents true equality from happening so you can all get cheap thrills at feeling superior for even a moment that is pulling us all apart.

You all make me sick.

I have a random collection agency after me for the last 7 years for a debt that I never owed. I contest it, it's passed to someone else. Quickly I realized that even I could, as a business, say someone owed me money. They contest the charge and I simply sell it to a collection agency for 50-100% of the amount I claimed is owed, only documentation I need is an invoice and 50-90 days of non-payment. Then that person, by my hand, joins credit hell. There are no real safe laws governing my sending out random charges claiming services rendered, not getting a payment after a period of them contesting the charges and then selling it to a credit agency.

I think this sets in place a HUGE security hole if this is all true for us in America.

That $200 charge comes from a company I never had dealings with, yet after 15 different collections companies it has ballooned to over $1500 and they don't have record of what it was originally. I happen to have it, yet legally the originator of the charge claimed has no further responsibility over it because of the nature of the collections company it was sold to.

I have even gone ahead and paid this debt 2 times and yet it still floats around as if I owe it.

I can't believe how sick things are getting here in the USA.

This only applies to federal loans. Not private loans which generally is 50% or more of the average tuition now.

The problem is, not everyone has federal loans. ed.gov only consolidates federal loans. It is wrong, but that is all they do.

People with private loans (which is a large part of the whole student loan crisis) are stuck now more than ever with this new trend of no longer consolidating loans.

No, Creative wanted them to cease any and all distribution for violation of IP laws. It wasn't just seeking donations for his time spent to put the drivers together, in fact he wasn't seeking to charge anything for anything IP related. Just donations for his time.

Verizon FIOS is nothing more than a DSL that can achieve VDSL speeds because of the sort distance it has from the modem to the DSLAM which is where the ONT is 10-150 feet or more away. This is in lieu to having it going 2000-10000 feet to the nearest telephone local office which limits speeds greatly.

This is still technically fiber to the home/premises by definition, the equipment, however is just slightly farther away and not taking up closet space somewhere in an apartment unit. No speed difference or bandwidth reduction is made with current speed availability for internet, tv, phone throughput.

Far too many people mistake or have a mental visualization of fiber to the home almost as if it is supposed to have a fiber optic line plugged right into the end user's pc. That is not the case.

What Verizon desperately needs to improve on is their customer service. There is no cloak and dagger going on here with FIOS services.

imagine the countless calls into Dell and Gateway computers then if it is so easy to unseat memory.

Guess what? It doesn't happen.

I may even do a youtube video to demo your statement as true.

This Bob MacDonald and the tone of the "letter" really gets him the nomination for douchebag of the year. I am never shopping at staples again.

I am now on state assistance, food stamps, and Unemployment. After 5 lost jobs from their incessant calling, taking up all my working time and my co-workers time and my bosses time, you have managed to nearly ruin me and my wife. Thank you Sallie Mae.

The mistake they made was being extreme in thinking that just because it doesn't specifically say we will have a tax and be taxed on particular things in the constitution must mean that it is against some law to tax and that somehow the government can run on it's own without funding. Thats when they went to far and jumped the kooky shark.

indeed, it happens all to often.

@Gev and the like, yes you are right. However, when the environment for keeping track is made impossible, what do you do then? When you have bills to pay that don't wait for your bank to decide to cash your incoming paycheck at will, or worse, when Wachovia has the paycheck in hand and waits for incoming transactions, and postdates the amount applied to the account days before a day AFTER all outgoing transactions are made from greatest to least so that it inflates the occurrences of overdraft fee's, you are set up for overdraft fee's from the start.

That is the difference Gev. Wachovia, and a few others exploit the way they have been allowed to process transactions to maximize overdraft fee's with recent law changes. That is how the industry pulled in an extra $19billion suddenly this year. it's not made of a sudden miraculous increase of 542.8 million some odd overdraft's at $35 each. (do the math) It is because they have in fact set things up to artificially inflate overdraft occurrences to collect on the fee's. How else do you think the fad of free checking suddenly is no longer a fad? They realized they can make much more money doing this.

While I myself still haven't had much luck getting Sallie Mae to work with me yet, I may be just about to get myself a video camera and put together a little something for everyone to see. Thank you very much for posting my plight however. The more who know about them, is more who can never do business with them.
