Size, not weight, is the key factor in shipping logistics

Size, not weight, is the key factor in
shipping logistics

The Royal Mail, which currently prices shipping on weight, is petitioning to change its pricing to be based on size -- apparently, size is the most important determinant of the actual cost of shipping goods.

Royal Mail's pricing structure has been in place for decades, and was inherited from a time when mail was sorted by hand...

Mr Dales said some customers would experience price rises and other price cuts, but the vast majority -- 74% -- would be unaffected by the proposed changes.

Microsoft Throwing Its Weight Around


Microsoft Throwing Its Weight Around 12/19/2004 02:57 PM

Yeah, I know. What's new about that?

MS lawyers jumped all over the administrators of digital.forest demanding that they immediately shut down the MacSlash site because someone posted what appeared to be a valid Longhorn serial number in a comment to a post there. (Story here.) From the logs, the MacSlash guys figured that that comment was accessed exactly once in the eight months it was there. By MSN's own search bot.

Chuck Goolsbee, head geek at digital.forest, responded to the hounds:

A short lesson in human nature... Try asking nicely. I realize that owners of intellectual property feel the need to enter into discussions with lawyers blazing, but I know from long experience that attack begets defence, whereas courtesy begets respect. If you look at this situation objectively, I'm sure you will realize that the site owners have not acted in any malicious way. The content in question was posted to the bulletin board by some anonymous user. So, rather than using terms like "Demand for Immediate Take-Down" why don't you try something like "Please remove copyright infringing content".

You will likely be amazed at how much better it works.

(I've always liked that Chuck!)

Of course, Ben from MacSlash edited the serial number out of the comment as soon as he realized it was there. The funny thing is that now that it's gone from MacSlash, it can still be seen in Google's cach e of the page. I wonder how many people have seen it now.
