I made the mistake of purchasing a car over internet & phone and paying a 0 deposit on Saturday. Today is Monday after. The agreement is via email. Is there any recourse other than requesting dealer to not charge my credit card for the deposit. Thank you.

At what distance from the equator should the company lay the cable to compensate for their mistake in ordering shorter cable?

A business has posted a sign in which MY phone number is listed. They realize their mistake, but have not changed the sign because other phone numbers posted are correct. I receive phone calls weekly for this business and actually 4 times today. I’ve called and left a message- with no response. They are in another state, North Carolina, I am in Ohio. What recourse do I have to force them to take the sign down, or at least black out the incorrect phone number?

<The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering is a book on software engineering and project management by Fred Brooks, whose central theme is that "adding manpower to a late software project makes it later". This idea is known as Brooks’s law, and is presented along with the second-system effect and advocacy of prototyping.

Brooks’s observations are based on his experiences at IBM while managing the development of OS/360. He had mistakenly added more workers to a project falling behind schedule. He also made the mistake of asserting that one project — writing an Algol compiler — would require six months, regardless of the number of workers involved (It required longer). The tendency for managers to repeat such errors in project development led Brooks to quip that his book is called "The Bible of Software Engineering", because, "everybody quotes it, some people read it, and a few people go by it."[1] The book is widely regarded as a classic on the human elements of software engineering.[2]

The work was first published in 1975 (ISBN 0-201-00650-2), reprinted with corrections in 1982, and republished as an anniversary edition with four extra chapters in 1995>

basically i had opened a new checking account elsewhere and had notified the bank that i would be wiring money out of the account. at my new bank they said the wiring into the account would act as a "cash advance" and the money would be instantly available. now the old bank is trying to say my account is 00 overdrawn and they keep calling me. if that is really the case, why should i pay for their accounting mistake? can they make me pay it back i.e. seek legal help?

Ok well ive been tracking my package but then i noticed it was in my city but getting shipped back to it original place(that is a whole lot of states away from me) it came from and there was a mistake in my adresse so..

PLEASE!! I GOT INTO THIS TEST BY MISTAKE AND I ONLY GOT TWO HOURS I CANT EXIT IT PLEASE HELP!!

hi all~ there are 3 issues here; first the background –

i’m the fiancee of a great guy and one of my best friends and her husband hired him in mid-2009 to work in their small biz shop. (My fiance also counted them as his friends; he has his own history with them. They’ve been friends with me 8 years, with some time off cause we were living in different states; a little less for him.)

They spoke to us that my fiance could really be the guy for the long-term, they want to groom him, and well, my fiance was excited. The nature of what they sell is *very* specific and you might say a little controversial and I personally have literally not met anyone in my major metropolitan area who would a) have that specific knowledge or b) truly care as much as my fiance did about his work and my friends’ business. My fiance created a product that went viral soon after it was placed for sale — it received coverage in a major newspaper. My fiance’s freaking smart.

well – first time they let my fiance go because their small biz was broke – they literally showed us the bank account statements – and they couldn’t afford to pay him. Fine. A week or so later they apparently realized their mistake and hired him back. He had extreme loyalty to them, and they had hired him to replace TWO employees. Well, as weeks progressed and my friends the business owners still hadn’t set systems in place for organization and work process, my fiance began to hear his boss tell him to work more quickly, multi-task more, take less time on quality. My fiance did the best he could and tried to be understanding. Long story short the male biz owner called my fiance on a Sunday night right after he had put in a half day of work on the weekend to say, sorry, too slow, things are still too backed up, we need someone in here who can do everything faster, you’re out of a job.

My fiance was BLINDSIDED. He was in *grief*. Actual literal grief. My heart ached for him, and I felt foolish for being so optimistic in the first place. My fiance, by all my observations ( i’m aware i have a bias ) was the very best and most *trustworthy* person they’ll hope to find. I fully respect that a business owner can run his/her business as he sees fit. My thing is, I feel there was so much missing in terms of communication, smarts and basic respect from them while he was on the job… I saw sides of them I’d never seen before, and I was disappointed.

issue A) – my own personal problems with my female friend the biz owner; I feel ignored and cast aside. One month before they fired him, my female friend had been very difficult to get responses from via phone or email, not responding to messages, if we would run into each other afterwards, I always heard the refrain of "sorry I’ve been busy". Usually I would have to place calls to her just to be social. One time when she and I were face to face at the shop I invited her to lunch, she said yeah, definitely, we’ll do lunch next week. I said great… but no follow up from her, nothing. I understand busy-ness. I work full time and got lots going on and keep a busy schedule too.

It was at this time my fiance got me my beautiful custom made engagement ring and we formally announced our engagement. Messages and calls poured in for best wishes and congrats — again, I heard *nothing* from my female friend! She hadn’t seen the ring and expressed no interest in seeing it. I was and continue to be ASTONISHED at this. …But a week or so after her husband FIRED my fiance, she left a message to call her — she wanted to know if we were coming to her Halloween party, apparently as her ‘no hard feelings’ gesture. I could only laugh. Here we were, newly engaged, planning a wedding, with one of us suddenly out of a job, money tight as hell, newly moved into a new apartment — and she’s concerned about if we will grace her goddamned party. Well suffice to say, she got nothing from us. My fiance had been curious if her husband would even call just as a follow-up, or to see if he found a couple cds of his – nothing from him. Meanwhile, I wanted to see what she would be motivated to do in November. No follow up calls, no emails did I receive from her either.

issue B) – is my fiance’s grief/disappointment and lack of respect for our friend the male business owner. Last time we discussed it, my fiance did not want anything to do with them, and him especially. However, the other day my fiance did say that he did not want to hold a grudge against them.

NOW… our WEDDING is coming up- and we have-

issue C) – is I want to respect my fiance and create the best day for him, as he is for me. He has not yet suggested we be in talks with them or invite them to the wedding. I *could* feel good about inviting them, but in my opinion my female friend would have to get right with me first and stop being such a deadbeat friend (it’s always "call me!"). I feel like I’ve made too many overtures that were spurned, and that s
(continued) that she just plain didn’t care about what was going on in my life. Yet we heard through the grapevine that they were worried and upset that we weren’t at their party.

This sucks. We’re in a limbo, no one wants to make a move first, and I’m seriously thinking of enlisting the assistance of a third party — a mutual friend to all four of us. As it stands right now, I’m going to be sad if they wouldn’t be there at the wedding, and sad if they would be there at the wedding without a full airing out of the situation and grievances.

Ideas, plans, admonishments, praise, criticism? Let me know! Thanks.

** p.s. – he and I met, by and large, through this couple. **

I work in an office and we would like to put holiday music on our phone when people are on hold. I’ve searched high and low and I can’t find a web page that explains it. I have also looked in the manual and it doesn’t say either.
Its actually a Norstar Meridian…I’m not sure if that makes a difference. Sorry for the mistake

By incomplete, I mean like "you finished it but it didn’t exactly work", but you would still want to show the judges (or the world) where you went wrong so that other researchers don’t do the same mistake

I am just wondering. I have started on my project for Siemens and I’m hoping it will work…but if theres the chance that it doesn’t, is it still possible to do this? Thanks!

I only got one answer in the business section, so I am seeing if you mommies know anything.

I applied for unemployment because of having to leave my job (long story, but they screwed me over during my maternity making it impossible for me to return). I received a statement saying that I have {content} earnings in all quarters. In addition, when I emailed to let them know I couldn’t get through over the phone (their system just tells you they cannot answer all call and hangs up on you), they said that statement means I am not eligible for unemployment. I don’t understand. I’ve worked full-time for over two years straight, and had either part-time or full-time jobs in the five years since graduating college. I’ve always paid all my taxes. Does maternity leave really make me ineligible for unemployment benefits even though I’ve paid into the system for five years and NEVER collected any unemployment? Or is it probably some sort of mistake? I have contacted them back, but it took them over a week to get back to me the first time, so I thought I would try people on here.

Additional details: I’m not on disability currently. I am able and available for work. I was on maternity leave (disability for six weeks then bonding for six weeks). During my maternity leave, my job changed their mind on my return to work options and I couldn’t find childcare during the remaining time, so I had to quit.

I got hired on online job. I had the interview over yahoo messanger. also, i had to buy softwares in order to start working. so the supervisor sent me money for the softwares. there were too much of money so I had to send them back. when i had to cash them, one of them was half cashed. i cashed them in different banks though. maybe it’s Wells Fargo who did a mistake with a check? and after that, I was wondering, is this job a scam? I also told my supervisor about what happened and he said he will call the account department… what do you think? is it a scam or not?
and i got two checks…
