But also remember the big supermarkets are the draw card that brings people to the mall and provides a lot of foot traffic to the food courts, cafes and other smaller single purpose shops that operate in the region of a supermarket. The only problem is when Walmart moves in too, then the smaller shops disappear.
So apart from the fruit and veg section, a robot could actually just patrol the isles loading all the packaged goods, you drop in your self packaged items, and your debit card is charged as you leave the store. 8) that's my idea of shopping.
And users like you is why we have Network Access Control on our switches. If it doesn't authenticate, it goes into remediation VLAN where it can see our av update server, and that's it.
Cheap option, buy a tablet. Less cheap option, buy a netbook. Cheapest option, if you have admin permission on the work computer, install virtue box, then a virtual Linux installation. I'm not 100% sure on features, but if you use VMware workstation as the virtual layer you can also password lock and encrypt the Gm guest. This is the path I use. It also means that I can pick from OS X or Linux mint 8).
Made for the cloud, but unusable unless you also have windows. 8). It's why it has always been weird that office has ever been ported to the Mac at all (and 2011 is actually the nicest version of the current office suites, the ribbon interface gets out of the way, and the menus are still visible all the time) The previous version though without a propper implimentation of outlook was terrible. But for home use, libreoffice has been perfectly fine. I bought ms office through work for $10 but haven't actually had any real reason to use it yet.
The iPad is a brilliant device for grabbing ang reading/. At 6 in the morning, but why would I replace my fully serviceable everyday desktop with it? Tablets are not a cure all panacea for everything. But are good for small portable jobs. Anyway, what this does show is that more people are coming to see what linux users already knew 8)
But once they have a sample of your birthday invitations with your name and address on them, they can match that tot the political protest pamphlet you also printed later 8)
And all the customers who bought one after the bumper case program ran out? Interesting that Apple pulled out all the stops to replace a plastic screen with glass on the original phone, but couldn't work out how to stop bridging that lile gap when the phone is held normally?
Maybe I've been lucky, but my oldest PC is a shuttle with an AMD 64 bit chip, still rocking on 6 years. It still runs my home file server, VMware server, this runs my mail server and VPN host. All my other intel boxes except my 2008 Mac mini have expired. Usually critical parts of the main board. Works both ways I guess.
I havn't seen a sing E thing on any old media regarding soap or pipa, but then that maybe because I don't read newspapers or watch broadcast TV any more.
Personal encryption is not easy on a PC, but remarkably hard on common mobile devices. I still dont know of any easy to use system for supporting PGP on my iPad/iPhone, or even on Android. I do have an app that can decode PGP blobs, but it is such a painn having to copy and paste between the apps. Why cant this be built in to the mail clients? The answer is the same reason governments are scared of RIMs encrypted BB mail system. They cant back door it, so they hope it doesnt gain wide acceptance. Want to run your browser in private mode and do not track - this actually stands out in the crowd making it easier to see you because noone else is making a stealth attempt, and forever-cookies just ignore the request to not track anyway. But dont worry, when you walk down the street in most cities now you are going to show up on someones CCTV, and blimp drones can over for months over a city, or anywhere of interest. You have no expenctation to privacy in your own back yard according to the cops now. ANd they dont need a warrant to place a GPS on your car if they do it while parked out in the open. The only place they cant do it is in your own garage. Your driveway is however fair game. And requesting your cell traffic logs - trivial. They can even st up a spoof cell tower without a warrant, catching their target AND every other innocent cell phone that is in range. Get stopped for a random breath test, and the cops can rip the contents of your mobile for whatever reason, just like they can ask you to pop the trunk for whatever reason. Broder security in the US can conficate any encrypted device if you refuse to decrypt it to show them whtats on it, and your mail can be pulled from GMail if stored form more than 6 months as this is considered Abandoned, even if you are contantly accessing it with iMap. It's harder than ever to protect you privacy, and this in no way will stop the next terrorist parking a truck full of fertiliser outside a federal building if they are insane enough. Welcome to America - land of the free.
All this proves there is a worldwide market for the content, at a reasonable price, and you can make mony off it if you dont treat your customers like criminals and DRM the content to death. It obviously isnt working anyway as this content is being copied and made available despite their best efforts at DRM. Just let me choose a providor who can get ALL content equally, and not be tied to an exclusive deal. Here in NZ, we've just started getting some new shows, all the ones canned after thier first season in the US., but we are still getting big-bang reruns instead of new episodes. Grrrr. No wonder EZTV gets my viewing.
Had no effect when the feds stormed in and took whole racks of equipment at a hosting providor, knocking legit sites off air as they scrambled into disaster recovery mode. Paraphrasing, "when they came for the data of the filesharers, noone siad a word because it did not affect them, then they came for the data of the political activists, and noone said a word as we were all of course loyal citizens. Now they have come for my data, and I have nowhere to go to get information or to protest.
This is exactly how it works for me. I am not going to pay NZ$100 for a game knowing I won't be able to sell it for a fair price afterwards, as the game shops will know it has restricted one time use content, so will. Offer less for it on resale. 90% of my games are second hand anyway, again I don't see the value in buying a new release at those prices. Buying software from Apple though, its only a few dollars, and easily transfers to new devices I buy running iOS or OS X. And I bought a Mac mini, knowing the resale in a couple of years is going to be close to purchase price if I decide to upgrade (as long as I offload just before the next model appears) If they want more recurring revenue from me, they are going to have to make the new release price much lower.
They should see that mega upload was able to make a business out of paid subscribers even though identical DRM free content was available for free on competitors like piratebay and demonid. What are they so blind! I'd pay for access to drm free books, movies and music, as soon as they come available, not drm restricted stuff whenever some distro company decides I'm allowed to get it in my region to protect deals with other dying media organisations.
What if every show that got canned managed to get piced up by an Internet channel? Could we get firefly and other cool shows back? What about movies like Red Tails that nearly never saw the light of day because a movie studio didn't see profit in making a "black issues" movie? This long tail stuff belongs on the iinternet, globally!

And then there is getting produce to the stores. Why not have the warehouses out by the farms? Then fresh produce can be grown and delivers locally 8)

Remember, it's the companies laptop, not yours.
As there is very little online legal content outside the us, not downloading wont hurt much.
Oh, and after they block the pirate bay, are they going to go after IRC? And then the darknet that will follow 8)
Just ask some Chinese friends what proxies they use to bypass their blockade 8)
Well, in NZ, we got prostitution legalised 8)

Make it too expensive to hire workers, and they will just be replaced by robots.
I havn't seen a sing
E thing on any old media regarding soap or pipa, but then that maybe because I don't read newspapers or watch broadcast TV any more.
And this reminds me why Ii boycott DRM products.
I dont buy their DVDs or watch their TV now, so why would taking EZTV down change that?
It would sure as hell encourage the legislation to be shorter 8)
Getting his knob polished by an intern while married to someone else is adultery, but not illegal. Lying about it to congres is.
