Tautology of the Skeptical Sinner

Soon to be followed by .duh

According to CNN http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/06/25/domain.names/index.html

Apparently the most sought after domain name in this new land grab is going to be “dot.sex”
The least popular? I’m not sure, but my prediction: “ionlyhave.sex”

First I thought I was ambivalent about this decision, but then I was in two minds about that initial thought as well. It may help the adult industry find more available domain names, but more than likely all of the speculators looking to turn a buck will be camping the Registrars like only an ex-everquest player could do and buy chunks of domains that relate to the major players in the adult world.

If they’re smart, instead of doing a first come first served virtual land grab, they should auction the domains themselves a la ebay (ooo ebay.sex! - lawsuit waiting to happen!), themselves.

I just got asked this at the liquor store. If I’m at the liquor store, you know it’s not good.

I work for a major credit card company. I answer the phone, I get yelled at a lot. My company is a pretty good company, but lately, their decisions regarding their customers has sucked. This has resulted in me getting yelled at a whole lot more.

Obviously, the calls are recorded, so I can’t tell them what I really think, but I can tell them to go somewhere else for better rates and service. Yes. That’s how retarded my management are.

Obviously, some customers are more desirable than others, but if they’re generating revenue, why the hell would you want to alienate them in this fashion?

I’ve asked this question a lot, and my immediate management shrug, and say “That’s business”… people in higher pay grades are dictating the rules, and frankly, I think they’re assholes.

But I’ll do what they say, I’ll keep on excelling at being a corporate peon, and I’ll keep challenging the WTF decisions in a corporo-correct fashion until someone gets some sense and says “hey, this decision is retarded, let’s rethink this”

In the meantime, for all you customers we’re screwing, royally, I really do apologize for the inconvience.
