Get regular trays, hire the CEOs trendy artsy friend (they can afford this because of how much pride they put into office design) to come in and paint some cool abstract design on them (even get more super cool by asking the people around the office for ideas on what to paint, even custom designs near their desks for that extra pretentious look to match their black rim glasses) and bam, you got what you want.
Thank you. Was just thinking the same reading the "marriage is a sham" comment. A lot of people believe it's the government trying to keep tabs on you, or it's strictly religious, but your points are valid and I know I would want them available to me.
Wow, you described my last job. I swear it was like high school because if you were in the "popular" click, that's where the raises and promotions happened on a more than regular basis.
I kinda disagree. I showed my jailbroken iPhone to one of my computer illiterate friends and he was impressed with the Winterboard themes, said I should show him how, which I agreed, and said the next time I'm at his place I'll show him. Come a few weeks later, I see him and guess what, he jailbroke it himself... So, I think the average Joe's are even getting sick of the Apple restrictions and are willing to stick their head out there a bit to try this cool jailbreaking.
If there is a vulnerability with said character, then just using it would not be legitimate until the problem was fixed on the phone firmware.
Cleaning the character at the carrier could prevent problems spreading to the phone and be a "quick fix", but doesn't make it go away, the phone would need to release a patch eventually, then you can use your Unicode heart character (or whatever else char it is) in your text messages again.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but since the SMS messages have to go through the carrier towers, can't this character be "cleaned" from the message there before it even hits the phone?
Maybe this has what has happened already and all this is just a chicken little story?
The real question is how could GS let one single developer have complete access to the whole source code at the same time? It's like Microsoft giving the person that is improving the calculator for the next version of Windows complete access to kernel code, etc.
I'm not positive on the position that Sergey was in, but if he is very low level developer of the code for GS, then they should of done more background checks, personality checks, whatever you can think of checks to ensure that he's a trustworthy employee to have complete access.
I myself was curious of what I was transferring per month, I started metering on the 13th of April and today the 25th I have already transferred 26.4GB since then. There was a couple days of downloading MSDN stuff that was in the GB range that put me up there but I tend to do that a lot, I'm afraid I'll reach the 24GB in one week no problem if I have to do a lot of transfers, that I need to for my home business!
Good thing is I have FIOS to fall back on if they start giving me shit.
Time Warner, why do you have to give yourself such bad publicity right now, you know you're under the magnify glass!
I myself was addicted to coffee (Sounds like I'm in a support group) but really didn't know it until I switched to a stronger coffee (french roast) made with the french press. Let me tell you, I got so much caffeine I'm sure I was intoxicated from it, even though it was soo good. My quality of life went down drastically, I would experience anxiety and nervousness from it. It took me about 6 months to make the connection that it was the coffee (dur!). So at that point I went to the drip style coffee and went half decaf and half regular for a while, still was occasionally feeling the symptoms, so I went to all decaf. I can still amazingly feel the caffeine after two large cups of coffee in the morning just from decaf, but my body accepts it better.
I'm guessing I raised my levels of caffeine so much that my body didn't like it, now I can't even drink a soda without feeling the same old stuff that made me quit.
So, I guess I'm not upset that I had to give it up because decaf is my savior because I like the taste of coffee too. And when it comes to soda I just drink the pure zero, which is a good alternative.
Yes there was an available MS Office license for his computer to use but like I said, he insisted on using OO. Plus the wizard in PowerPoint used the free PowerPoint viewer software to put on the CD so it would work on a system without MS Office installed.
I've never tried Impress. Will look into it next time this happens.
And if it got to that point MS Office would change slight protocol things to it would break TBird Exchange syncing and they would have to roll out an update, it could go back and forth like the IM protocol fights with MSN and Yahoo.
This reminds me of when I tasked one of my employees to burn a powerpoint presentation on a CD and make it auto-run. I knew it was simple with PowerPoint and I mentioned that he install MS Office for this purpose and to ignore that he thinks OO can do the same and will do it equally, well 4-5 hours later I noticed he had been burning alot of CDs and is still testing this thing. He said he was having trouble getting the right components to copy to a computer that may not have PowerPoint installed so it would play the presentation. I asked if he installed MS Office and used that PowerPoint because I knew there was a simple "Create for CD" wizard in the file menu. He said no and insisted on not installing it because he is a hard core OO fan and thinks that MS Office is the devil. I made him install it and within minutes we had a burned disc and everything ran great.
This is where I get frustrated because he is fighting for a office suite that came about because of MS Office and everything he likes is a standard created by MS Office. He just doesn't get it. Since I work in the same department with him I want him to try things out for himself and not force him to use certain applications if he is so insistent on using something else. But in this case, when time matters and just getting it done is the main purpose, he needs to understand to use the tools that are already there and work.
Go buy a CD drive and then do what they do... the cost is the software that analyzes all the information given by the drive to determine what chemical it may be.
On a side note, this isn't new, I watched a special on this like 2 years ago on Discovery channel. Even in the special it stated that the magic is the software.
You all assume that Windows OS runs on the same hardware each version, do you even know how many manufactures out there are making computer components? Does the blame always have to be pointed to MS? You know a lot of issues can be pointed at hardware manufacture device drivers, there are standards that have to be met. If you make a piece of hardware and then write the driver to work with MS but makes the OS be unstable, is it MS fault? No, it is the hardware manufacture that wrote the unstable drivers.
OSX typically runs on hardware that it approves. Its been like that and will be like that. MS wishes it could do the same, but they are in a completely different boat here.
So you'll fight that XP runs on Mac hardware now.. Cool! Now lets hope that MS OS doesn't get a bad rap for being on Mac hardware because of poorly written device drivers, there are people out there writing device drivers right now for XP to run on Mac hardware.
I agree, I've found so much new music on web radio that didn't hit the FM waves for at least another 2-3 months, it was like I was looking into the future. I've DJ'd for 10 years plus and the source for being on top of those new songs was web radio. Call it a keen knack for knowing what songs will work but it seems that I could predict a popular song way before it was popular, then I had it ready to play for people when they ask, all because of Internet Radio... I'm also mad and frustrated.
If the average Joe Internet Radio goes away they we will be flooded with more corporate stations that only play what is hot at the time and insert stupid little adverts in between every two songs and do their station call at the beginning and end of each song. Why?!?!
Hey, just thought of something. Are the Internet Radio station royalties only for American stations? So say your favorite Russian site will soon be the place for that Internet Radio you once heard. It is inevitable.
It's a very sad time for internet radio right now. It's always a shame how rules, regulations, and laws can ruin such a convenient piece of technology.

I see you're the glass half full, and I'm the glass half empty type of person.
With the lack of spirit, there won't be much opportunity.

For being about math problems, it's kind of ironic they would use bullet list on the questions rather than a number list.
Kind of hard to count up to 23 on the list is my whole point I'm trying to get at.
I hope you know I'm just joking on all this. :D
Well I can explain that. It's because of teleportation, which I believe instead of the earth being round.

Technically iTunes supports AC and DC...
Out of curiosity, how would you export a PowerPoint presentation to Flash or PDF?
Don't have the slightest clue, never thought of doing that actually, would be convenient for web viewing.
I think you mean "it would work on a Windows system".
Yes, given that I knew the target machine was a Windows system, it was not a concern to support different platforms.
Cheers
Yes there was an available MS Office license for his computer to use but like I said, he insisted on using OO. Plus the wizard in PowerPoint used the free PowerPoint viewer software to put on the CD so it would work on a system without MS Office installed.
