    Yea, they also advised we drop Facebook and only use our Google+ accounts. That's why you should never take advice solely from the creator of a product.

    Lately, I wish I *had* dropped Facebook and only used my Google+ account.

    Such is all of human history... One young punk tried to tell the world has changed, and I had to reply, no it hasn't, it has just accelerated.

    By definition, isn't acceleration just change in velocity?

    I think most of the tech showed in CSI counts as sci-fi.

    For example the non-profit can own his house, car, boat, etc and provide for his use free of charge. This protects his assets while still giving him control of them, on top of this it is deducted from the non-profit as an operating expense. Remember, a non-profit can spend 90% of it's income on operating expenses and 10% or less on the charitable actions.

    It does not follow from the fact that non-profits can be abused in this way that Gates is abusing his.

  10. Re:Judicial proceedings should never be secret on Local Police Increasingly Rely On Secret Surveillance · · Score: 4, Funny

    No, if you look at the Supreme Court Case [Redacted] vs. [Redacted], you'll find that Justice [Redacted] made the very clear argument that sometimes [Redacted] is necessary because [Redacted]. Honestly, how can you contest that precedent?

    Informative!

    Automobiles are registered at purchase. This is a case where it is pointless to use cash--the sale can't really be obscured.

    My G5 Mac won't run the latest versions of Safari or iTunes or iWork. And it's not that old... 3 years?

    Weren't all the G5 products discontinued by early 2006? That's more like five years and change, which is a little more reasonable.

    No. A site slowdown could hurt Amazon's holiday sales, but not nearly as much as the government could for aiding a "terrorist."

  25. great thinking, that on Child Directs Traffic At JFK Airport · · Score: 1

    How could this possibly have seemed like a good idea? I know that no harm was done, and probably none could have been done in such a controlled environment, but these are the people that think eye drops are a threat to national security. You simply don't deviate from the norms when you deal with the FAA.
