"what does it say when the Google CEO who reportedly tied all Googlers' bonuses to social networking apparently finds it too dangerous to permit the head of Google+ to participate in social networking?"
It says nothing.
The social networking is a product, not an in-house employee tool. Just because a company sells something it does not mean that they want or should want their employees using it all the time.
This is simply a controlled demolition, instead of just letting it drift around the solar system, possibly eventually crashing into the side of your house.
If this is a potential issue then the passengers and their cargo would have to be sealed in a wireless insulating material so that no signal could leak out. It is a faulty design if we are just getting by on luck.
I think it might be more about, busing able to react quickly.
If you have a book in your hands you can just throw it to the ground; They are cheap and rugged. If you have a $2K laptop you are probably going to spend 10 second powering down and putting it in its case.
It cannot be possible. That is like saying that we need tighter restrictions on wireless devises becuae theri might be that "perfect frequency" that causes all humans in a 10 mile radius to defecate themselves.
It is not a plausible idea, so it does not matter how bad the consequences would be if it proved true.
I could say god exists and he hates cell phone users, he will send them all to hell. According to your logic, now you must go out and start convincing people to throw away their cell phones. Since if this incredibly unlikely thing was true, the absolutely worst consequences possible would occur.
If a random normal everyday wireless signal can cause any damage or impediment at all to an airplane, then that airplane has a faulty design. End of story; No ifs, ands, or buts.
Yes coughing on people and sneezing on door handles will get people sick, but you are already infecting people before you show symptoms and after you are better.
And it is just common courtesy to not cough on people or sneeze on anything they will touch. Properly handled I believe that the showing symptoms stage of the flu, for instance, does not have to be any more contagious than the others.
From what I understand contagion and symptoms are not really linked. In many cases you are most contagious before you even know you are sick, in others you are still very contagious after you recover completely. It depends on the specific illness.
Staying home when you feel bad is about not working when you physically cannot work and not really very good at all at stopping the spread of these illnesses.
Now personally, I like working when I am sick. I would rather work when I am sick and have time off while I am healthy. But that depends a lot on the nature and severity of the illness, as well as the job.
What, haven't you heard!!!!1 The only reason anything bad things ever happen is because there is not enough guns.
Any sane government would distribute AK47s and RPGs to every man, woman, and child in its jurisdiction. And then they could fire all the police and military and have a crime rate of absolute 0 and be impossible to invade.
For example I was actually personalty investigating two people earlier today. I turned up far far more information on one of them that the other. The reason is simple, the one with little information has never done anything and is not even motivated enough to post inane messages on FB all day, let alone get a job or a hobby which I could then learn about.
Yes, but you make it sound like they could produce nothing on you because you never did anything. They could not come up with 80 pages of MSN history since you never talked to anyone.
At least you make it sound like they knew everything about you: residence, jobs, education. And it simply was not very much since there was not much to know.
But also an investigation, for a job I assume, can be a lot different from a longitudinal spying program. Since they might bug your computer/phone/house in that instance.
Why encrypt data if you do to care if the government knows it?
Or you actually believe that the FBI could not know everything about you if they wanted to? Encryption does no good if you control the sender/receiver, or built a back-door into the encryptor/phone to begin with.

Someone should of told Anonymous that it is never a good idea to feed the trolls.
WBC thrives on negative attention and hate.

This has to be the cleverest joke I have seen on /. in a long time.
Syberia 3 is being currently being worked on. So excited.
That is 94 Kalvin, really the only scale that make any sense for numbers this low.
It is simply unfair to expect a corporation to compete against a price determined by the market.
Obviously they had to prevent him form whistling into a phone and starting WW3.

Anything that is not specifically designed to stop other wireless devices from failing to work.
You do not just accidentally create a crappy device the throws out 1000 times the normally allowed power and blankets whole frequencies with static.

Well at least if they yet at you when you are asleep to get into the fetal position you are not like "wait, I am powering down, don't crash yet."

Was there not a /. article a half a year ago that blamed heat for the slowdown?
Also worst summery ever, it needs to actually mention what this new theory is.

Europe is foreign soil, US law does not really care what you do outside of its jurisdiction.

Well I do not think that law enforcement like to get ahead of themselves.
A judge and jury are for proving guilt.
To first get to talk to people, they need to pick you out of 100 other resumes.
