Creative also took legal action against a Taiwan audio discussion site in 2

http://www.dearhoney.idv.tw/SoundCard/CreativeHK/
For people who cannot read Chinese, please scroll to the bottom of the page, there is a brief description about the incident.

I'm no lawyer, but would you not have to prove that Creative was willfully negligent or malicious? Or at least they intended to cause problems with the players?
Also, I would guess that the problem would have to had occurred in the majority of upgraded players, which is not the case.
Thanks for the morning laugh, though.

    That is my question too. Few months ago I had made a thread about it. It affects especially the APAC countries. It is really shameful.

  • Want to take legal action against MSI for TV@nywhere?

    I own a TV @nywhere Master and I'm sick of it.  I have spent well over 40 hours trying to get it to work.  All it does is crash my system.
    MSI shows no support, offers no driver updates and does not reply to emails.  I'm planning to present this problem to my State's Attorney Generals office.  MSI is selling a product that is known to be bad, does nothing and keeps selling it.
    I am interested to find other owners of TV @nywhere (Master or not) that are just as mad as myself.
    Post your stories below so that I can make them part of my official complaint.  If enough people post, I can then start a class action suit against MSI.  We don’t have to take this.  If you know of anyone that has been burned by this scam, tell them to post here.
    This is the only way to get their attention.
    MSI, the clock is ticking!  :O
    Bob

    I too have had nothing but nightmares with my MSI TV@nywhere card....don't think that it was the Master card though. I got it to work the first time I installed it and then it quit working. I tried the card in 3 different motherboards with 2-3 different video cards and never was able to get it to work after that initial . I tried the drivers that were supplied on the disc, drivers downloaded from their site, etc. I even tried it with and without SP1 installed on XP. I tried different PCI slots. I would start the associated application and the system would just freeze forcing a hard-reboot. The final straw was when I reached in to remove the card after a system crash, the card was so HOT to touch that it burned me. At that point I gave it to my room-mate to try in his system and he was able to get to work maybe twice and then it started messing up on his system too.

  • How do i start legal action against verizon for screwing with my bill for about 8 weeks now?

    on november 7 i ordered a new iphone and was charged 349 for it to my bill
    NOVEMBER 12: NOTIFIED THAT FEDEX WOULD NOT DELIVER BECAUSE THE IPHONE WAS NOT IN BOX
    NOVEMBER 14: verizon received the empty box and it was signed by D. Watkins
    during this time, i was informed that i would be crdited my money back and they would change the contract date back to original date so i could go to a store and get a new phone with new contract price.  the date was corrected back to original , but i had to pay for a new phone while still being out the $350 for the undelivered phone.  i have been promised by about 5-6 verizon staff that they would either call me back or fix the issue.  they ALL CAN SEE THAT I AM DUE THE $350 AND IN FACT IT IS IN THE NOTES THAT I AM DUE THIS.  I WENT SO FAR AS TO RECORD THE VERIZON AGENT WHO PROMISED THAT I WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF AND THE CREDIT WOULD HIT MY ACCOUNT .HIS NAME IS CHRIS AND HIS BADGE # 130096 IS RECORDED IN A PATHETIC CONVERSATION FOR 5 MINUTES OF HIM PROMISING ME THIS WOULD BE FIXED...THAT WAS DECEMBER 8 2014.nothing has happened.  i went into a verizon corporate store today to go directly to a manager in ann arbor on washtenaw.  she informed me that she did not have the authority to fix anything above $200, so she called an agent JUST LIKE ME!!!!!, and i proceeded to wait online for 40 minutes for a gal to fix my issue and when she got back on, she said she was forwarding the issue to her manager and hse would get back in 45 minutes....THAT WAS 5 HOURS AGO AND NOTHING.  i have decided to go to the plymouth, michigan district small claims court because i refuse to pay my bill first and then hope for the credit back....i have spent aobut 12 hours waiting on the phone for last 1-2 months, like an idiot, thinking that someone would really help.. noone is reliable and this has been an unbelievable instance of horrible service..I HAVE EVERYTHING DOCUMENTED...i hope to truly bring this to light also with the press..i am livid wih how verizon has yanked me around for this issue..THE NOTES IN VERIZONS RECORDS SHOW I AM DUE A CREDIT..ITS REALLY UNBELEAVABLE

    Sounds like the warehouse has not scanned that the "empty" box has been returned. Verizon is not going to issue a credit until it is verified that the shipped package has been scanned and received by them. It does sound annoying but just think about it from their perspective. Plus sending out an empty box is abnormal and would take some looking into don't you think? Even though the process is long and drawn out and even annoying on your end it makes sense that they wouldn't just apply the credit without proper investigation.

    I guess the word that has me confused is 'pending'.  How can garnishments be 'pending'?  Don't legal matters need to be processed before showing up in any reports?
    (I'm not familiar with them and asking for that reason, thanks)His garnishments have been processed.  'Pending' can be interpreted many ways.  It's pending even though it's also ongoing in the sense that money is going to be taken out of his accounts this week, next, week after, etc until his garnishment is over.,

  • In ASCP Workbench - Need to take action against sales order types

    Hi Team,
    I am facing one issue, In ASCP workbench, when we query an item with conditions Order type=Sales Order, I can see many rows with Action=Release, Action=None.
    Some rows with Action=None is in pink colour (without taking action against this in ASCP WB) and some in black colour.
    For rows with Action = Release, We can check the Release check box and can modify the "Implement date" field, Save and Release (Tools-->Release). Then we can see the changes in Schedule ship date field in Sales Order line (Source Instance)
    But for Action=None, We can't check the Release check box (But User want to implement New date for this also)
    Since this is linked with OM, I am in a position to solve the issues urgently based on the below questions.
    1. Which one triggers the Action=Release or None
    2. What modification needs to change in SO line (Source instance) to know the changes in Action column in ASCP WB.
    3. User needs to implement new dates for the items having Action=None also. For this how can override or any workaround is there?
    Note: For the items having same Old due dates and
    Please suggest me ASAP.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Ramesh

    Dear Ramesh
    Ones in Pink - Your plan is ATP enabled plan. So if there is a new sales order entered in OM module there is a sales order entry made in the ATP table the moment its scheduled in source. But since ASCP has nt been run yet they are still showing actiona s none in the plan.
    W r t one with action release your understanding of ship date updation through ascp release is correct.
    Why does customer want to chnage date on other sales orders (action-none) ? . ASCP has planned and it is saying that such is the date of expected shipment and so action is none. Any business reason why a date change and release is required on action none sales orders? By default behaviour action None cant be released to source .
    Best Regards
    Partha

  • Absolutely livid - considering legal action.

    Firstly, in there interest of manners and politeness, hello there. First time I've posted in here, and I wish it were on friendlier terms. Sadly I'm about to go off on a rant.
    On the 18th February we started experiencing problems with our phoneline, causing both our dialtone/phone to drop out and our broadband to lose connection. This of course meant we lost our BT Vision as well, and as we have no other TV we were left with NOTHING. The fault was sporadic, cured by unplugging and then re-connecting our equipment to the BT socket and resetting the home hub. I spoke to people in India at least twice who were useless (to put it politely). This lasted a week until 25th Feb, before I lost all services completely and finally got BT to acknowledge it as a fault on the line. I should add here that my neighbours either side both run businesses, have 7 phonelines between them, and have experienced no faults. Not one of the other 8 houses within 1/2 mile of mine have experienced any faults at all either - I've asked around and it's just me.
    I was given a 'deadline' of 2nd March for repair, and on the 1st March an Openreach engineer called round, did some checks on the line and pinpointed the fault to being with the network approx 300m from the property. fair play I thought, and he said they'd be back "tomorrow" (2nd) to rectify the problem. Needless to say, the 2nd March came and went with no sign of any Openreach activity anywhere within half a mile - let alone 300m.
    I rang to enquire what had happened on the 3rd March, and was told there was a delay as the engineer had reported it as being a major fault that needed dig work, so it'd be another 3 working days. That came and went, as did the next deadline of 3 more working days. Finally I was given a date of 22nd March for the contractors to do the dig work, with the Openreach teams coming in to do the joints/cabling to fix the fault on 23rd March, over 4 weeks from the original fault being reported. That is an unacceptable amount of time in my opinion, given that I have a 20 month old daughter, my wife is pregnant, and that I am trying to run a business from home which has suffered considerably.
    23rd March came and went, still no repair!!!! Fairly livid now as I am sure you can imagine.
    I should add at this stage that I have spoken to at least three customer service managers, and one was 'kind enough' (after 45 minutes on my mobile, at my expense) to escalate the problem with Openreach around the 9th-10th March, and say he would keep me informed. I also explained that there was no way I was going to continue paying my £60 monthly bill when they weren't supplying the services I had already paid for in advance for period 18th Feb-17th March, and was told this was understandable.
    On 24th March I received a voicemail from BT's "Keep In Touch" team, saying they apologised (I have had 43 expressions of apology from BT staff over this to date) but that the fault had still yet to be fixed, but that the contractors were scheduled to do the dig work on 12th April, with the Openreach team coming out to do the cabling on 19th April. The very next day I received a call from a customer service manager asking if I was happy with the repair carried out on the 23rd... "WHAT *&%*(^&^&*^( REPAIR?!!!!"
    Firstly, this further delay is unacceptable and I am considering legal action over it - BT is clearly failing the Duty of Care it has towards it's customers by putting my wife and family at risk by leaving us completely isolated - we have no mobile signal at home and I fail to see how they can supply phone services to properties all around ours but not to us.
    I would like to know exactly why the dig work wasn't carried out on 22nd March, and why it would then take a further THREE WEEKS for them to come out on 12th APRIL, and a further week after the dig work for the engineers to come out and sort the cable when originally it should have been 24 hours.
    In the mean time, on the 18th March my bill was due. As explained to BT Customer Services, I wasn't going to pay for it - they had a month's money on 18/2 and only provided a sporadic service for under a week so as far as I am concerned, they owe me. Today is the 4th April, and I received an email today saying my service has been suspended and my info will be shared with credit reference agencies etc. Needless to say, I am utterly furious.
    BT have failed on multiple occasions, the customer service departments are spread so far and wide they have no clue what each other are doing or saying to their customers, and the engineers plain and simple just don't do their jobs when they're supposed to - and then you can't speak to them direct yourself you have to go through the abysmal customer service teams again.
    Please can someone who knows what they are talking about, can get things done, and is able to sort my phone line out within an acceptable timeframe get in touch with me and get this sorted - I am seriously considering legal action and leaving BT altogether... oh yeah, I forgot, I can't do that as there's no phoneline in place so I can't go to any other provider as they all need phonelines where I live.

    FINDINGS SECTION (3 findings)
    1- SQL Profile Finding (see explain plans section below)
    2 potentially better execution plans were found for this statement. Choose
    one of the following SQL profiles to implement.
    Recommendation (estimated benefit<=10%)
    - Consider accepting the recommended SQL profile.
    execute dbms_sqltune.accept_sql_profile(task_name => 'TASK_58643',
    task_owner => 'SYS', replace => TRUE);
    Recommendation (estimated benefit: 99.15%)
    - Consider accepting the recommended SQL profile to use parallel execution
    for this statement.
    execute dbms_sqltune.accept_sql_profile(task_name => 'TASK_58643',
    task_owner => 'SYS', replace => TRUE, profile_type =>DBMS_SQLTUNE.PX_PROFILE);
    Executing this query parallel with DOP 128 will improve its response time
    99.11% over the SQL profile plan. However, there is some cost in enabling
    parallel execution. It will increase the statement's resource consumption by
    an estimated 14.56% which may result in a reduction of system throughput.
    Also, because these resources are consumed over a much smaller duration, the
    response time of concurrent statements might be negatively impacted if
    sufficient hardware capacity is not available.
    The following data shows some sampled statistics for this SQL from the past
    week and projected weekly values when parallel execution is enabled.
    Past week sampled statistics for this SQL
    Number of executions 17494
    Percent of total activity 7.2
    Percent of samples with #Active Sessions > 2*CPU .63
    Weekly DB time (in sec) 614696.04
    Projected statistics with Parallel Execution
    Weekly DB time (in sec) 704166.9
    2- Restructure SQL finding (see plan 1 in explain plans section)
    An expensive "UNION" operation was found at line ID 4 of the execution plan.
    Recommendation
    - Consider using "UNION ALL" instead of "UNION", if duplicates are allowed
    or uniqueness is guaranteed.
    3- Alternative Plan Finding
    Some alternative execution plans for this statement were found by searching
    the system's real-time and historical performance data.
    The following table lists these plans ranked by their average elapsed time.
    See section "ALTERNATIVE PLANS SECTION" for detailed information on each
    plan.
    id plan hash last seen elapsed (s) origin note
    1 209247904 2011-07-12/10:09:08 7.564 Cursor Cache

    4 3695555639 2011-07-12/08:30:30 101.459 AWR
    Recommendation
    - Consider creating a SQL plan baseline for the plan with the best average
    elapsed time.
    execute dbms_sqltune.create_sql_plan_baseline(task_name => 'TASK_58643',
    owner_name => 'SYS', plan_hash_value => 209247904);
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SECTION
    - The optimizer could not merge the view at line ID 3 of the execution plan.
    The optimizer cannot merge a view that contains a set operator.
    - SQL Profile "SYS_SQLPROF_01306b26f6aa0000" exists for this statement and
    was ignored during the tuning process.

    <snip>Perhaps no action at all.
    You can ALWAYS produce a report that will show "top 5" issues. The question is NOT "do I have an issue reported by a tuning report". Yes you do. Everyone does. Always. Even if you slowest batch job runs in 1.3 seconds and your slowest OLTP transaction completes in 0.0001 second.
    The question is "do I have a problem that is serious enough to spend time solving?"
    If your average OLTP transaction completes in 3 seconds, how much effort is justified to get a 50% improvement?
    How much effort is justified to get that same 50% improvement on transactions that complete in 1.5 seconds? 0.2 seconds?

    A client gave me he's mini Ipad wifi as a gift.
    It has all his information:photos, music, contacts, etc. I also took some photos that are in camera roll. I would like to erase everithing and make it totaly mine but don't want to loose my photos and his music which is very good. How should I do???

    Resetting the settings will reset things like the wallpaper to the default. It wont remove the apps or music.
    As the previous poster said, the apps and music will be tied to the previous owners Apple ID, you'll need the password to update the apps and remain authorized to play the music.
    I would suggest taking your stuff off (the camera pictures) then erasing all content and settings so the iPad is like new. For privacy reasons alone I would erase the device. I realise you want to keep the music, but since you haven't paid for it (it was purchased under someone elses ID) then it isn't yours to keep, you'll need to write down the tracks and purchase them under your ID.

    I will be doing the same if nokia dont sort this mess out and start communicating with their customers.
    All nokia have done is leave us all here totally in the dark guesing and wishing for an unproven update that might not even solve half of the issues.
    I think we have enough ammo to take on the giant Nokia.
    Please share your thoughts and lets club together instead of been walked over by Nokia and take legal action!.

    Adrian, with the greatest of respect you are wrong.
    We are not talking about a phone with a few rough edges here and there, we are talking about fundamental usability issues. Issues that actually prevent the use of the device for the purposes for which it was marketed and sold.
    We are all fully aware that we don't live in an ideal world and we can't assume that things are 100% perfect, but the N97 is so flawed that it should NEVER have been released to the paying public in it's current state.
    I received my brand new N97 3 months ago on the UK "three" network. It had V10 software and crashed when powering up the phone for the first time, the second power-up generated an "Out of memory" error. I immediately updated to V11 (which is still the latest for my product code). Even then it had multiple crashes when answering or hanging up the phone. I then debranded so that I could update to V12. Now it is improved but still appalling. Camera regularly generates "Unexpected Error has occure please reboot" messages, hanging up calls still causes random crashes and the unlock (from auto-lock) fails randomly. I'm pretty sure that even if Nokia had just ONE product tester then they would conclude that the N97 does not work, so how do 100 Nokia product testers conclude "Yep, that phone's good to go, another job well done (congratulatory pats on backs all round)".
    I am an electronic product designer (with embedded microcontrollers and many 1000's of lines of code). I ensure that our products fullfill EVERY single specification claim that we make, that's our minimum standard. We do indeed issue updates, to add extra features and improve methods later on, but we make sure that the fundamental product functionality is right from the word go.
    Nokia are doing several things wrong here (and therefore attracting legal action). First their products are not fit for purpose (we're not just talking about facebook apps not working, we're talking about making and receiving calls). Second, there are hardware faults that no firmware update in the world will solve (such as camera lens scratching) and many people select the N97 for the lovely Carl Zeiss optics that Nokia love to trumpet about! Thirdly, the customer communication is vague to say the least, it is EXTREMELY rare to actually hear from a Nokia rep and we've yet to hear a single candid and honest admission of the disatisfaction that we're all experiencing.
    Nokia should have done this better on every level. It is not simply a matter of fussy consumers, this is absolutely fundamental. And now I find myself in a fight with my network because they say "You're in an 18 month contract mate, you can leave us if you pay £525, and if you want to sort any phone problems then speak to Nokia".
    So here we are....

    I am trying to load any 9.0.3 firmware on my UCM 5.0.4.2000-1 server. Every newer firmware I load throws the following error. I have verified the MD5 is correct and also downloaded the file several times with the same result. I can load the same firmware file on another UCM server and it loads fine. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for your reply. We have a lab environment where I maintain  UCM 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, 7.1 and 8.0 servers each running the latest released firmware for our QA testing team. I have downloaded and installed the latest device packages but find that if I try to install any firmware newer then 8.3.1 on either 5.0.4 or 6.0 i start getting MD5 hash authentication errors. It looks like 9.0.3 firmware should work on UCM 5.0 and 6.0 so I am lost as to why I can't seem to update any firmware for any model phone if it is newer then version 8.3.1 on either 5.0 or 6.0. while 5.1 and 6.1 work without issues. Maybe it is just a bug. I mostly wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this or if it is just me.
