East Side Art Dealer Sues Homeless Men – January 17, 2007 – The New York Sun
Why not just get the order keeping them away? Or call the police and have them moved for loitering or something? Why include a claim for $1M in damages? You don’t sue unless you can go after deep pockets. What’s the point otherwise….

If Jenny Jones was still on the air? Or maybe a Maury? Not a Springer. Could this be a Montel? Don’t know. All I know is ….. umm, there are no words. And I’m glad the Doc had to personally pay damages.

AppleInsider | Apple to impose 802.11n unlocking fee on Intel Mac owners
I’m no SarOx expert or anything. In fact, I only know the most basic things about the law. But this is absolute crap. And if Apple has to charge a nominal fee, why $5? Why not $1? So ridiculous. I blame Enron, WorldCom, etc. for all those problems which led to Sarbannes-Oxley.
Active gaming burns more calories, coordination still a concern – Joystiq
But the research has been done! Being active, even if playing video games, burns more calories that being inactive, even if playing video games! Scientific texts will have to be rewritten! New curriculum created to start teaching these REVOLUTIONARY new findings!
AllFreeCalls.net | End The Rip-Off: Make Free Calls from The USA
Free international calls to various countries.
Here’s a blurb from TechCrunch on how it works:
Here’s my understanding of how this works: the founder created his own telephone company in Iowa. Iowa is apparently the only state taking advantage of an FCC kickback scheme that gives telco’s a portion of the fees generated from every inbound call to an Iowa number. So when you call the AllFreeCalls phone number, a portion of any long distance fees you are paying go to the company. The kickback is apparently authorized via the Universal Service Fund. These kickbacks are enough on average to more than cover the international outbound calling fees.
I don’t make many (any really) international calls, but my family/friends do. Should be worth a shot. And theoretically since you are calling Iowa and they are placing the call for you, you should be able to dial internationally on your celly without an international plan (and avoid the CRAZY fees that go along with international calls, plan or not).
edit: See comment by Garren below for an slightly more in-depth explanation. I will admit to wanting to try it out though…
