for the purposes of art, I agree that paper's useful as hell.
how ever as somebody who's planning to make money using paper, the case's a little biased. there's nothing stopping her from scanning existing works, and distributing an e-book. in which case, you take us back to the original point, there's no need to print anything.
And what's stopping you from displaying several recipes on the one screen? when I cook there are anywhere from five to eight recipes on the screen. (I did say laptop, not netbook? right?:P)
if you really need many more, you need a second cook, who can bring their own laptop. or maybe just a W700?
that depends on where you live, and in the next fifty years, most gov't buildings will be required paperless.
as a random example, take the recent shutdown of the justice system in Dallas County
"Several courts have gone paperless in recent months, and the district clerk’s office has been converting files to electronic form and destroying paper versions, the paper said."
unlike the USA, MOST countries around the world have alternatives to requiring a printed copy. because.. that's just a better idea in the modern age.
English is far from a dead language. it's constantly evolving and changing to meet the standards of communication.
and in this day and age, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH SAYING ME IN THE CORRECT TENSE. as a perfect example: "Last night: [persona], [personb], [personc], and me went for pints at [location]." is just as usable in today's speech as I was.
the reason "I" was grammatical preferred over "me" was due to the difficulty in saying "me" in proper english. "I" is a sharp high inflection, while "me" was considered a low round inflection.
historically: high and mighty people said "I" and poor people said "Me"
I seem to remember this whole idea from a while back, It comes to mind that microsoft was trying to market a product for use between [manufacturers distributors retailers] that allowed everybody access to information of what was going on with the whole chain.
seeing as I can't even think of the name of the solution, I expect it did so well that it got replaced with some upgrade, or tanked.
there's automatically a log file held on GPS satellite of what device ID requested their position?
that's not how the system works.
just because they SHOULD be monitoring and logging all this data, doesn't mean they are. being public infrastructure: I'd like to see how it works, see how the data is logged, see where it's physically kept, see how the software works,
what are my chances as a taxpayer to review government operation? hmmn? anybody know the details?
Yeah, they're too busy arresting and fining people for nonviolent drug offenses to be bothered with such trivial things like gang members and sex offenders.
I'd mod this up if I could.
we as a people need to get over the whole "drugs can be bad for EVERYBODY" kick. legalize -> distribute -> make some money and make people aware of what some of them can do to you.
though, oxycontin is perfectly legal as we type, and yet there have been four stores in my city alone that have been robbed at gunpoint for their 10-20 Gram reserves.
the only way to remove demand is to provide a supply. making it a criminal offence to possess/distribute only leads to a market of majority, which means that a minority of people are trying to tell a majority of voters what's good for them.
I then assume the system was put in place for political reasons, some company that makes the stuff likely convinced some politician that the system was bullet proof, and sold him overnight.
I then assume that the body required to implement this project then likely said: "Sure, we can do that, but we need more money."
on being denied that money, I would have expected them to take this to the press. get some public attention to look at the matter, see why the government is proposing solutions that there's no money for.
there is not a single thing that REQUIRES paper in todays age.
you may not LIKE a laptop for recipe's, but it's an option. there's NO application form that cannot be completed electronically (with the rare exception of a few butthurt universities, however those are your CHOICE to attend.) and photos can be easily displayed in a digital photo frame.
I back up the original idea: No one NEEDS to print anything.
Keep in mind that Spamhaus DOES operate around the globe. from their site:
"To meet public demand for its DNSBLs, Spamhaus has built one of the largest DNS infrastructures in the world. Its network of over 60 public DNSBL servers spread across 18 countries serves many billions of DNSBL queries to the public every day, free of charge."
for a business to operate equipment in a country, that equipment is required to follow laws pertaining to that country.
If you for one second think that your a mail admin AND you think you can get listed on the SBL, you should consider a new job.
if another domain is rejecting your e-mail for an entry on the SBL list, one of your domains must have put you there. it's not a list you "accidentally end up on".
if you have a domain that you administer, it's as simple as checking your outgoing messages. query the message against the a tool to check for the same set of tags the Spamhaus people use BEFORE sending, and properly bounce it back to the user and your maintenance staff to get the user in question resolved.
electronic mail is one of the simplest things in the world, yet people mess it up an awful lot.
"So you feel that a USA court should refuse to hear a case brought by a USA plaintiff just because the defendent is foreign?"
Technically no. it should go before the judge.
if this company has proceeded though the required order of things to incite a a case, a judge should get to see it.
the judge should then immediately proceed to file charges from the government against the plaintiff for waisting the court's time for not understanding that suing a British business for doing something you don't like and that's not illegal in Britain is not illegal in the united states, and thus not punishable in the united states.
nobody in their right mind would expect that a lawyer showing up to a courthouse to say: "what the hell are you doing? maybe try going to the country these people are from to sue them. see how well that goes" means they "submit to jurisdiction".
as much as people may not like it that people "post factually incorrect information in a review" there's nothing stopping somebody from doing such?
if I provide a "this is what I know about X" review to somebody and offer the review as a free service, people better expect that: you get what you pay for
DRM does nothing of the like. all it does is make somebody THINK the content's protected.
if the work is WORTH paying for, people happily will. distributing a string of ones and zeros and calling that "your life's work":
that better be the best string of ones and zeros I've ever had interpreted by processor and converted into something I want.
if you want people to HAVE to buy something, then start selling something.
making an endless string of copies of your ones and zeros is NOT something, it's information.

...that's what I just stated. sorry, the {sarcasm} tags were treated as HTML :P
the GPS system is one of the simplest triangulation systems to work with, but there's no "default logging".
you can build a network of a million sensors that constantly produce data, but that doesn't mean it stores itself.
I second you there!
yeah, because we all need to hide things more and more instead of being responsible for our own actions.
/. that requires encrypted communication.
please. there's nothing that goes on on
exactly.

you and me both.
Really, I'd like to know who was in charge of the system, that way I can never hire the guy.
or at least I'd like to know WHY nobody acted on it, maybe he had no budget to do anything?

fucking eh to that!
I will NEVER understand where DBA's get off saying: "I poorly designed my database, so you have to use what I know to use it"
it frustrates the hell out of me that people REFUSE to change the way they approach situations. there's NEVER a situation that only has one solution.
tldr doesn't apply to novels. somebody will read it all, and I expect we'll have a book review on oprah this coming week.
You have an interesting way of listing several brands, and several products. I think you meant:
Cisco
Motorola
Intel
Sony
Nintendo
Microsoft
Amazon
