    They are now more stringent. They fingerprint your two index fingers and photograph you upon every entry. More bans on liquids etc.

    FYI, the iPod Touch models do just about everything the iPhone does, except take pictures and make phone calls.

    You're a week out of date. The new touch has front and rear cameras similar to the new iphone.

    On topic, 150+ of these landed in my email box today. If my company had any sense of fairness, they would harvest the names of everyone infected's email account, and force them to sit through a 4 hour learning module. We already take a yearly 1/2 hour session where they very explicitly explain not to click on links in things like this.

    Even worse, because no one will know about the invisible camera built into it.

    Not necessarily, if you couple the higher limit with the safety inspection. I'd wager over half the cars on the road are unsafe at 90mph.

    I'm a bit perplexed there isn't some sort of test or review of the applicant's driving record as well though.

    Truth in advertising laws due not fall under the description of "capitalism". They are a necessary restraint thereof.

    Each revision of the Mini seems to have yet a different video port. You need a different
    dongle for each one to hook them up to normal monitors. It's bloody annoying and in no
    way "innovative" or "progressive".

    True, but all of those minis did at least come with said dongle included.

    Got any sort of link to a floppy drive that apple sold concurrently with the iMac?

    Nope. Because they didn't make one.

    it doesn't give any 1 user more than a few mod points because 1 user shouldn't have too much power,

    Not sure why, but I have been given 15 mod points every two to three days 5 times in a row now.

    That after a span of about 4 or 5 months with none.

    I sure have no idea what system they're basing assignment on.

  16. Re:Educational Problems on Union Boycotts LA Times Over Teacher Evaluation Disclosure · · Score: 1

    The LA Times has forced transparency. If the union is so concerned about accuracy accompanying the transparency, I would bet the LA Times would be completely willing to publish additional analysis if the union provides it.

    But I live in LA. And their history leads me to believe the union's only concern with the accuracy of the data is the bad light it puts them in.

    Personally, agree with the first part. But there is a distance to infer that disabled people ask to be treated absolutely equal.

    Most don't. Most are perfectly reasonable. But there are a very very small minority to that do and use legislation like this as a bludgeon against businesses.
