I fixed that for you.
My favorite part is these same scumbags call themselves Christians.... Going against EVERYTHING Christ taught or said to do.
"He did something ridiculously stupid and will pay for it for the rest of his life as he is subject to "lifetime supervised release."
I know a guy from highschool that looked down to change a cassette in his car in 1986 and mowed down 3 children and 2 adults with his car. He still is in prison for negligent homicide because he freaked and drove off.
He was a nice and decent person.
And yes he deserves being in jail for 30 years, when you do something stupid in life there are concenquences. You pay the price for being an idiot in life.
So your fetish of ax murder photos spreads and scumbags start axe murdering people to make new videos for you. You are supporting the murder of innocent people.
DUH, again, you think the meterial is made out of magical fairy dust? Look up "Snuff Films" for your murder fetish, You dont have people lining up to be willfully murdered for your films.
Several of the apps I purchased 2-3 years ago have been updated to now have apps. Developers are greedy asshats and are now submarine in ad's on paid apps.
I have 3 mobile phones with me every day and I end up happier because of it. At times I have two of them up to my head at a time. IT's great. the waves of euphoria I get from the 2.4ghz and 900mhz radiation is pure bliss. I went as far as calling numbers where I am put on hold for extended periods of time so that I can be on the phone.
I just hope that someone can find a way for me to have all three phones in use at the same time....
Which is why I do ad blocking on all my phones. My data consumption on my 3G ipad went down by 50% when I blocked ad's (yes it blocks all in app ads as well) Sorry, but your "free" app is not worth the more than $0.99 a month I spend on bandwidth for your ads I am ignoring anyways.
If internet is down that means the Central Office exploded because the OC3 into the building we use for internet is down. And that means that DSL will not work not Cable Internet.
You must not use it. It falls out at whim and is easily damaged. IDE,PCI and USB do not suffer from those epic failure points.
and if you think it will be around for ages, you also dont know much... Display Port is rapidly replacing it. HDMI will end up as the shortest lived connector spec out there.
And what percentage of users do serious number crunching? Anyone that uses a spreadsheet for it's intended use. We have Excel Books here that allow sales to create quotes for customers automatically. they do a lot of serious number crunching. Everyone in Accounting does this, as well as all of enginering.
Marketing, they are Ok with cardboard cutouts of computers.
My monitor does not have Wifi or the ability to receive an image. In fact I cant fine ANY out there that can outside of a 42" TV, and my cube does not have the space for that nor will HR allow it.
Just wear mirrored sunglasses and a white shirt with a white tie while wearing sandals with socks and you will fit right in.... But you need to buy a BMW to complete the look.
Even harder is a chromebook setup. This eliminates the need to pay for cellphone data plans, they pay for the data plan on the company owned chromebook. Then tell the employee to stuff it in their arse about getting reimbursed more than $10.00 a month for their cellphone bill.
It allows the company to screw the employee while maintaining security and you get automatic backups. Simply deduct the cost of a new chromebook + 40% from the employees paycheck if they get thiers stolen and hand them a new one after you reset their password.
All done. You can fire 90% of the worthless IT department, submarine the cost of replacement laptops back onto the worker by taking it out of their pay, and not even have to have a phone system because you are also making the worker pay for all your business communications. Bonus points if you can figure out how to deduct the Chomebooks data plan also out of the workers paycheck.
Heck put that plan in place and I'll bet they promote you twice and give you a nice big golden parachute. Corperate america loves it when you can screw the employees for better profits!
Yeah, show me an android phone that comes with 2 gig or more ram. The phone makers are still retards by putting a paltry 512-1G of ram in the phone.
Oh and show me a quad core Phone CPU that can actually crunch numbers in any speedy way. If you are doing ANYTHING that requires a lot of complex math, your phone will get it's butt handed to it's self by a old single core P4 processor.
"Granted this wouldn't work if an office required a piece of proprietary desktop (re: non-mobile) software which many do, sadly."
Only the out of date ones. Even big corps have moved everything to a "web based" or "cloud" setup... yes the cloud is in house, but they love marketing terms.... I heard "Cloud 2.0" being thrown around recently.
Right now, the only people in our office that cant use an ipad or chromebook for their job is Engineering and their need for AutoCad, and Accounting. Oracle has not made a purely web interface to their enterprise accounting systems yet.
But a good 80% of the workforce here, we are looking at moving them to chromebooks.
"Well, as long as you're going to be shown ads, you might as well filter them,"
Why? My internet has been AD-Free for years. There have been tons of choices for ad blocking. Heck some of the recent ones even strip ad's from YouTube.

I know a lot of white folks that voted for Obama because they were genuinely scared of Palin being in any position of power.
They can also simply block all users FROM the UK and solve it that way as well....
Companies always have the option to ignore laws from other countries and block the freedom hating country as a whole.
You forgot Step 0 where he asked nicely to begin with and they said for him to go and stuff it in his rear.

Awesome that all american Tech workers are employed and they had to import the rest because there are just none left in the USA...
What? You mean this is not true?

Jailbrake/Root it and install a blocking hosts file.
Why are you tolerating ad's on your phone?
Facebook has ad's? I've been blocking them so long I forgot they even had them!

Sounds like they never tried google docs...
Granted, if internet is down, you cant do anything but loot the vending machines in the break room.... Thus the biggest problem with "cloud computing"
"Anything like and Android/Apple phone, tablet is essentially a read only device*. You can't do any meaningful creative work on one."
All the bloggers out there would disagree with you....
Oh wait.... I see what you did there......

"HDMI is now so ubiquitous that that argument does not hold water."
HDMI cant hold water, it's the crappiest connector spec ever devised.
Hint: the older DVI monitors, those secretly hold a HDMI connector in them. IT's called a HDMI to DVI adapter, but dont tell anyone...

Yup, that Free copy of Windows 7 on my last laptop was quite crap. Fixed it with a BSD install.
