Tired of having search results hijacked to other web portal search engines or what-not, I have pretty much resorted to previewing my search results. I tend to skip over pages that, for one reason or another, do not have a link to the cached page.
one of the major problems last year was the enormous amount of time spent on sensor and hardware development vs. the incredibly small amount of time spent on software development and testing.... with no collision detection code (!)
Yup,, exactly. But the idea of tipping point applies to many things: technology, culture, economics, politics, religion. So I just think of this like this
"A tipping point is characterized by a sudden burst of mass sanity/insanity as mainstream public opinion abandons an unsustainable mythology/reality in favor of something closer to reality/mythology."
There is no blanket shield law for journalists in the US. Nothing along the lines of doctor-patient or lawyer-client privelege. There are some laws for more specific cases, but nothing generic.
Actually, there is no blanket doctor-patient privilege either, namely in situations where you could put the general public at risk. Example: a patient's claims to epilepsy or moments of unconsciousness are supposed to be reported to the state by the doctor.
Likewise, we'll see an over-supply of music. Related to this is the over-supply of food: if someone from the 1600's walked into a grocery store today they'd be flabergasted. That's how the music industry will look to us by the end of the century.
another case in point is the blogging phenomenon. Everyone can be a reporter, or a writer, or a commenter. There is just so much content out there. The web became the next printing press.
the university eventually admitted that they do store data, and sent the guy a copy of his records, which indicate to the second when and where he swiped his card, in addition to when he went to the gym, how much he bought at the dining halls, etc. So much for privacy.... We're trying to contact some people in the school media and administration and have something done.
Have you asked whether they will assign you a new non-SSN ID at your request?
Kudos for taking the noble approach. In this day and age, I would be tempted to dangle this in front of national media and suggest how victim identity theft is, well, a kind of internal terrorism.
I'm serious about this because it seems everything *else* is being done to protect people from harm from others as well as themselves and to protect corporations/businesses from people. Why does it seem that government stops short here? Is it to allow businesses to sell "protection services" for your private perosnal info?
Users are being studied for a year and they are trying to determine what goes into people's decisions to buy a certain ringtone. I guess this is really becoming a huge business.
Yes. Businesses know that a customer's vanity can be bought.
Why do I get the feeling that this new customer "convenience" is a push to encourage more sales, which translates into more fees collected by the credit card company? The merchant will just pass on this cost, too, I'm sure.
Take note: The Senior VP of Sales owns 100,000 stock options as of 2005-01-07.
-- 20,000 vested 2005-01-07. -- 40,000 vest if the stock price is at least $4.50 for 15 consecutive trading days. -- 40,000 vest if the stock price is at least $5.50 for 15 consecutive trading days.
TechReport's and Sudhian's reviews don't give me a sense for just how "big" the is. (yeah, I could measure out the dimensions but still...) In contrast, Apple's web page shows its Mini 1) held in a person's hands or 2) holding a CD, so I have the impression that that is pretty small. I think it would not hurt Shuttle to provide this small convenience.
"We The People" have a chance to get rid of him easily after four years, but failing that, he's out for good after eight. It acts as a sort of sanity check - if the people are crazy enough to let him have a second term, they might be crazy enough to let him continue dictating for 20 years.
We come in, order a coffee (I might get an orange frosted scone if I'm in the mood) and sit there and read the paper. They are so fucking busy refilling the coffee and taking orders that they could not care less if you sat there for a couple hours
True, dat. As mentioned in other posts, the prices are pretty high. I figure that as long as there is sufficient customer turnover due to the non-laptop patrons that the proprietor wouldnt be too concerned.
I don't have a very portable laptop (the battery died years ago and now requires itself to be plugged into the the socket -- sorta defeats the purpose of wireless)
Of the Paneras we have, one of them has *ONE* power outlet. Talk about a subtle evil for those laptop users who want to sit there all day or to meet clients for a presentation!
What the f&ck?! Phone companies are COMMON CARRIERS
That applies to telephone calls over POTS. It does not apply to IP traffic over their internet service.
I believe it currently does apply, but the FCC made a ruling in 2003 or 2004 to phase out the common carrier requirement, which inlcuded IP traffic. I believe the phase-out was to end in September 2005. At that time, smaller companies offering DSL and/or VoiP would have to have 1) their own wiring or fiber to deliver services, or 2) negotiate new contracts with the CLECs for use of their connectivity.
I'm writing this from a house that is made from a lot of wood, sitting on land that used to be the home of some animals who now get hit crossing the street. It would be easy for me to point my finger at "industry" and say they're wrong, but would I be willing to give up my house, land, and paved roads to my job? I don't think so.
Shelter is one thing, eggregious "shelter" (eg. 20k+ square foot mansions) is another. I'm not trying to accuse you.
I wonder whether people would be willing to relinquish a personal convenience or luxury in order to HIRE independent nonprofit watchdog organizations to monitor for abuses by government, industry, scientific, and personal special interest groups. It's feasible -- just look at the contributions that went to vote recounts last year.
ebay is a bunch of ass-hats. in an attempt to wring more money out of people ebay has become heavy and hard to understand.
Maybe it was a calculated move on their part, to try to raise short term profits, in anticipation of an inevitable "G-bay", when they would have to lower prices to remain competitive?

I'm guessing what they really need is physics processing unit(s) with player/missle graphics.
Just finished watching it. I think it's a hit. It really takes over at moderization where McGann's Doctor left off.

We're sorry. The Mersenne prime number you dialed is not in service.

Thanks for the clarification. Looks like I have some re-reading to do.

New systems (such as epc) are currently 902-928MHZ, and (real soon now) 2400MHz band.
Ugh, another device operating at 2.4 GHz!?? Any idea about interference with wireless phones or routers?
Perhaps they will opt for retrograde evacuation.

Wow. Sun is much more impressive (up ~250% over 5 yr) when the graph is viewed using linear scale.
