Lazy kids using computers mommie and daddie got for them and mommie and daddie still having no clue about computers. They still don't teach these things very well in school and a great many grownups are still behind the learning curve when it comes to PC maintenance. Still, laziness is probably most of it. People just want to get on, get email, and get off (pun intended), without the hassled of waiting for downloads and rebooting the machine to install updates.
That was a rhetorical question, right? I thought the main focus of business in general was to bamboozle us with marketing nonsense until we just hand over our wallets in surrender. Look at how many models of an electronics manufacturer's audio receiver there are, or different models of TV with minor feature differences. Electronics manufacturers count on our ignorance and inability to understand the differences from one model to the next so they can manipulate price points without having to justify to the consumer the outrageous margins. If your initial post isn't mod'd flamebait, this one is sure to be. But then I've given up trying to appease the bleeding heart liberal pantywaists that frequent these comment pages. Suck it Trebek!
And what does any of this have to do with the story? If your post isn't trolled then someone isn't doing their job. English is one of the two (French) truly internationally recognized languages with Spanish being the third. Speaking Spanish would be fine, but who in their right mind outside of France and Quebec wants to have French as their first language? I think homogenization of the world's languages is a good thing. Cultural differences be damned. It's why the world is in the shape it's in. Once the world has homogenized completely you won't see the kinds of conflicts we have today and wars will be passé. Besides, that was a dumb ass movie and you should be embarrassed by referencing it.
We all started with Windows at some point. I'm sure Linux boys will have no problem changing the desktop resolution and setting the wallpaper to Fall Out Boy.
He repeats the same actions over and over again expecting a different outcome. The man is obviously insane and should be treated as such. He really does need professional help but, unfortunately, intelligent sociopaths like him rarely get the help they desperately need. People just write them off as wackos and ignore them, rightfully so I guess, but someone close to him really should try to get him some help. Even if it means committal.
You said: Pity I'm not a lawyer.
Don't ever say that...EVER. Be glad you didn't have to lower yourself to that level of humanity, a term I use very loosely when referring to lawyers, to eek out your pitiful existence. Things could never be so bad as to become a lawyer. No sane human ever strives to become a lawyer. Law school is reserved strictly for the mentally ly deficient and the morally and ethically bankrupt. But then I don't really have an opinion on the subject. I'm just stating facts.
Um...yeah...actually. Fuck Islam. I thought that was a no-brainer and don't see what all the fuss is about. Fuck all religions. Seriously. Call me troll. Sticks and stones.
They just picked out tidbits from the actual news story of someone making bomb threats to multiple stores and banks and demanding money be transferred to a bank account or they would blow up the store/bank. They think they might have had access to the security cameras OR possibly were within eyesight of the places they were threatening because they forced the customers to disrobe. Flimsy evidence at best I think, but it's certainly possible: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=inurl%3A%22Vi ewerFrame%3FMode%3D%22&btnG=Google+Search
Well you've just thought of everything haven't you. Well done. I can't wait until I have my own personal Skynet robot changing the channels for me while "recommending" what I watch on TV and how I surf the new fast, cheap interwebs. Ah, the glory that is progress.
Coordination by the radios themselves?
The next thing you'll want is some form of mainframe to control all those radios and maybe even some autonomous robots to service the radios that answer only to the mainframe and then maybe you'll want to call it SkyNet and then where will we be? Huh?? Did you think of that??? I didn't think so.
I thought the real meat of the story was that the FCC Chairman stated, "...the agency still would like to find a way to transmit high-speed Internet service over the unused airwaves." That being said the next time this story is reported the slashdot headline could read, "The FCC accepts cheap/fast internet device."
And here goes my karma too (not that I had any to begin with) but...what?? Excuse me, but what did you just say??? There a diffference? What is mis-uses? I think people DON'T understand, I know I don't. Devloper? The option to proofread your post so YOU don't look foolish was obviously decided against. Better luck next time. Even if you had a point, no one would even know it.
You've read my mind and put into words my exact same sentiments. If only FTTH would come to S. Florida. Alas, all I have to look forward to is AT&T getting their act together and offering the VDSL here. I ain't holding my breath though. As far as Comcast goes...meh, the service has been rather decent despite their total lack of concern for the people who make them rich - their customers. I can't stand dealing with them, but they're the best out there right now as far as broadband goes. My connection is up 99% of the time and always fast. How can I complain about that?
Phil got his and they left it up to the imagination to decide what happens next - as it should be because life goes on and as far as the Sopranos go, what just happened was pretty much business as usual so they're just getting on with their lives. No great fanfare. No ridiculous twists and turns. It was the perfect ending to something that really didn't end. We just don't get to see what happens next. I think it's genius.
A couple things. MS Outlook doesn't exist for OSX and Entourage sucks as a business email app. As a book cover designer I use templates from the printer that they create in Excel and a couple of them don't work on the Mac due to macros that we can only get to work on the PC Excel for some reason. The printer's tech support is supposed to be looking into it, but this has been going on for a long time now. AA's do stuff with MS Publisher that we don't have on the Mac that I have to PDF for them. I just got my new Macbook Pro 15" yesterday and loaded it up with CS2 and 3, Quark, Freehand, Suitcase, Pitstop, etc. It's one helluva machine, but I'm writing this on my Dell. My wireless connection works much better on this than on the Macbook. Maybe it's because I have an older router, but again, the Dell works great and is only 6 months old itself. Anyway, I like Macs for what they do best. For everything else give me Windows.
I think you're being a bit naive to think that everyone thinks that all cable has to provide is "crappy programming" in between ads. I watch HD movies (all premium with no ads), sports, Discovery channel and National Geographic with limited commercial interruptions if any at all, all in HD on a 47" 1080p LCD that is simply breathtaking as far as TV goes. Maybe your paycheck allows you the luxury of a screening room and access to everything in HD, but there a a small percentage of us out here who can only afford the maximum number of cable or satellite channels on a measly 47 inches of (now) low tech LCD screen. Forgive us our transgressions, but I LOVE Planet Earth, Sunrise Earth, American Chopper, and every movie on HBO, CinemaX, and Showtime in lovely HD and in fantastically produced audio through my lowly ONKYO 7.1 THX system. Forgive us for our suffering of HD cable or satellite, but it's all we have. I'm a very happy subscriber of the criminal entity Comcast. I recognize cable as the monopoly it is, but until something else comes along and provides the same HD service and channels for less money, I'll be feeding the beast.
I learned about computers on a ][c at Motorola back in the day and enjoyed the crap out of the novelty of it at the time. I consider myself very lucky to have been born at just the right time to experience the PC explosion - Mac or otherwise. It lead to my purchase of a Laser 386SX [I couldn't afford the extra $300 for the DX (math processor) model] by VTECH (buy a cordless phone lately?) loaded with Windoze 3.1, 2 MB of RAM upgradable to 4 MB and an 85 MB HDD. Yeah yeah, glory daze I know, but what a heady time to be a new user. I was never smart enough to get into the programming aspect of it, but it was cool enough to me to be a knowledgable user on the cutting edge of reboot after reboot.
I work on a Mac all day, every day. I design book covers for a publishing company. About 300-400 per year. myself and we have 5 designers doing this every day and I'm the administrator for the group, so I have a lot of experience using a Mac. Everything in that article is 100% spot on and confirms my belief that Macs are perfect for graphic design/typesetting work and to supplement certain other professional workflows, but as a stand alone machine for multiple business uses it sucks. The article plainly spelled out the difference between a regular Mac and Mac pro as far as hardware upgrades and compatibility. For these exact reasons I use a PC at home (I own 3 of them plus a Windows laptop) and for the exact reason I stated above I just purchased a Macbook Pro to be able to do some work at home and help with some freelance stuff I do to supplement my paycheck. I would never consider using a Mac as a full time machine and I like the dang things! They have their niche and until Stevo decides to let people decide what kind of box they want to use OSX on that's all they'll have is a niche. It's downright ridiculous how they hamstring you into their hardware, and sometimes crap hardware at that. It's just bad business. So, it would seem to me that you are the troll in this particular scenario sir since, in my opinion, the article's tone and review are dead-on-balls accurate. It's an industry term.
I was in a working cover band for 6 years. The guitar player bought every CD that we borrowed a song from and the guitar sheet music (basically the book for the album) for him to learn the song. The rest of us listened to the individual songs to learn our parts (I was the singer so I just needed to memorize the lyrics - which happen to be all over the internet and also in the guitar book). Why is this not an option now? I can see if the sheet music for a song you want to play isn't available for purchase, but other than that isn't the whole point of having music published so that you can make money from other people wanting to play it? Maybe I'm wrong. If so, please correct me.
I looked through the comments and didn't see a mention of this excerpt from the letter from the lawyer so here it is: blah blah blah, you're stealing, blah blah blah, "I Want To Hold Your Hand" written by Lennon/McCarthy and administered by Sony/ATV Tunes LLC.
Just another example of the inmates running the asylum. Who doesn't know who Lennon/McCartney is and wouldn't know enough not to typo Paul's last name in a legal document "protecting" him? It's pathetic, funny and sad all at the same time.
No need to apologize, Games ARE an expensive waste of time. It's sort of the point. NT was a pain in the ass for everything but mostly because of it's way of doing security it required lots of patience. I was so glad when 2000 came out. Anyway, I'll check out linux eventually, but until then my XP box serves me just fine.

Plenty of unsecured network security cameras out there. You can even control them over the internet - pan, zoom, etc. Good fun when you absolutely having nothing better to do.
