    This is opposed under the guise of protecting or fighting for the common man who doesn't yet know that he doesn't want Google taking a picture of his yard. More likely, it is paranoid companies (campaign contributors) who are worried about possible the backlash from people finding out about their unethical environmental practices that are still grandfathered in.

    Ten inch is too big...I want my next tablet to be 7". The smartphone is too small and the tablet is too big. I wasn't surprised to see Microsoft offering a bigger screen on "The Surface" than the iPad. They just do not get it. Oh yeah, now I know why MSFT had "hastily gathered" product launching. They found out about the Google tab and freaked out....like it matters. They are still living in 1995.

    It comes down to this: I'm a man, computers are machines, I can control their rigid unforgiving parts and therefor impact the world with logic--this gives me a serious woody. Now, is it shocking that most women are not turned on by manipulating a machine? Hold on......nevermind.

  19. Re:Lame on Microsoft Announces 'Surface' Tablet · · Score: 1

    Microsoft is a rich old company rife with silo'ed development departments. They lack hunger and innovation. There is no arguing this. It is amazing that they have research arms that produce very good work and then somehow botch press relations and bumble new product development. They are obviously enamored with their own ego to the point where they do not value a solid showing to the press and hamstrung by their lack of unified leadership that directs the ENTIRE company.

    Uh...it's not for sale? Hence the use of the word "Vapor?" Jesus fuck, if it taint on sale then what are we talking about here? What is the reason for telling anyone about it? Is it so we can bow down, do an act of worship, and line up at a Best Buy awaiting its arrival? I don't know anyone who can talk about this right now without looking like a fool.

    Because employers could care less. They have to show the screening results to qualify for a discount on their Worker Compensation insurance that is mandated by the state.

    I hired into a VERY busy car shop serving a very well-to-do neighborhood and the boss asked me point-blank, after starting work, if I could pass a drug test--in front of everybody. I quickly fired back "no!" The whole shop erupted in laughter. I was just being honest. I didn't get it at the time, but he said he would just send another one of my co-workers to take it for me. It was a joke, as I was to find out that the co-worker couldn't pass one either--which was well known. We went on to have many drunken Friday's and many serious accidents (customer vehicals of course) do to excessive cannabis usage. Actually fucked up a customer's car going to get pot one day with one of my co-workers! The guys had a saying, "It's not my car." We would go four-wheeling together, plunge into a creek four feet deep filled with fucking boulders and never once scratch a vehical. Driving a customer vehical around the parking lot, into a bay, onto a rack, or around the block I have hardly seen such egregious and repeated accidents.

    Now when someone asks if I can pass a drug test I just hang my head and say "yes"--again, being honest. Oh, and I absolutely refuse to take my cars to any garage for service now.
