Terms and Conditions with a twist

I am looking for sample of Terms and Conditions acceptance with a bit of a twist.

Generally when I have set up T&C acceptance in the past, there is a scrollable box with all the legal text followed by either a check box to say that you have read/accept the T&C or there are radio button for “yes” and “no” about accepting them. In either case a person never has to actually read, or even scroll to the bottom of, the T&C text. The common stuff...

However I have a client that will not accept (no pun intended) this.

New thread notifications for IxDA Discuss

There's a new e-mail option for discussion list subscribers that some
of you may be interested in.

Members can now subscribe to "new thread notifications" in order to
receive only the first post of each new thread. This option will
result in much less e-mail than the full subscription. Subscribers
should receive around five to ten new messages each day as opposed to
the 70-80 that would normally pile up from the discussion list.

Countrywise understanding of IxD

Hello everyone,

In this forum we often discuss local context of IxD and its associations
across cultures.
However from industry point of view , i would like to hear views about how
jobs related to interaction design are spread across the world.
Design labs are not present in every country and most products are designed
in the developed nations, while developing nations are just coping up with
new designs as per their complexities.

designer?
Which are the most lucrative locations across the world to get good pay

Design Research: Practice noticing stuff and telling stories

A while back, there were discussions about design research and inspiration.
Steve Portigal has a good little article in Core77 called "Design Research:
Practice noticing stuff and telling stories,"
http://www.core77.com/hack2school/portigal.asp

"To be a better design researcher, hone your ability to observe the world
around you. Keep a regular log that you add to at least weekly (daily would
be ideal). Document the strange, the curious, the weird, the awesome and the
funny.
