It's the sort of app that will make the paranoid even more paranoid which will only cause more problems.
This which hunt for sexual offenders is what happens when you let parents think their child is something unique and special and must be protected like pile of gold.
The fact is their kid isn't special and they're more likely to be abused by family. Single and those that don't fit into the soccer mom's view of this world always get shit on. The young and single need to be more vocal to drown out these loser's voice.
That might be a valid point if this wasn't starting, at the very least, during the Clinton era which pre-dates most people's internet access. Secondly, the BBC is guilty of it too and they don't have to worry about income.
I personally think it comes down to trying to expand their markets and have news coverage 24 hours a day. The fact is there isn't enough news to pad out a whole day and keep people interested.
TV news is the worst but print media still needs to compete with TV so it can be just as bad.
Nope. I've only been in a few times in emergencies, like it's the middle of the night and I had needed oil or something but if such a situation arises and it was realistically my only option.
Most everything drops in value. Try selling a DVD you bought for $20 and you'll be lucky to get $5 for it. Those used books for only a couple dollars...what do you think people originally paid for them and I know for one, I wouldn't pay new prices for used clothes. Cars certainly don't hold their value.
The only things that keep value are things that are harder to come by, like housing in a specific location and gold. But even things that lose their value can have hidden gems, like rare cars. Some rare video games have sold for thousands but for most things they will lose their value quickly because most people don't want something that someone else had their grubby hands on. It just makes sense. Why pay nearly new prices for old when you can have new for new prices?
I know you are somewhat trolling, but the more I read/. the more it seems that everyone on here is rejecting technology than embracing it.
In some cases that is probably true but computers and the internet are like anything else. They solve some problems perfectly but it's not the answer to every problem.
You could pound nails in with a giant dildo but a hammer would probably work better.
Quite frankly, until we get some kind of law guaranteeing we get to keep out paid for digital products then my digital purchasing will be limited to must haves or through companies that respect my rights, like Amazon and their music shop.
They're only shitty manufacturing jobs. No one would use the Wal-Mart mentality to send good jobs over seas like IT jobs. So enjoy life and paying the absolute least for everything and to hell with quality. We'll all be better off once foreigners have all the jobs.
Certain things will be of the same quality but the prices won't be as low, like video games. Everything Wal-mart is comeptitive on is cheap shit, like clothing.
Sony does make low end junk too. It gets sold in a Wal-Mart. Their better stuff is found in audio shops.
Finally, Kraft? If you think shit like Velveeta is quality then you clearly live in a trailer park. I'm not sure you can honestly call it cheese.
They appeal to the lowest common denominator which kills speciality shops because every shop relies on some idiots. Yes, I can still go online but some people like to get off their ass, unlike the fat inbreds that shop at wal-mart.
The thing is though people aren't saving time by going to one shop. The amount of walking and waiting to be done in a wal-mart is the same as going up and down the street browsing speciality shops. But fat people like to be air conditioned and Wal-Mart has that.
It's a MS search engine that is trying to compete as a neutral place for information rather than, say, a search for MS' own sites so yes I expect better.
Just as I expect a common Windows issue, like blue screen of death to include some sort of reference to Windows since it's a windows thing and as you find in all other search engines but some how MS' auto suggest thinks blue screen of death screen saver is more relevant as a suggestion.
There's no point in auto suggesting if you're going to ignore what people will likely want. They'll end up having to type the whole query anyway and therefore there is no benefit.
If *any* company wants me to use their search engine then I expect good clean honest results. If any other search engine were as bad then I'd not use that either. The fact it happens to be MS doing it doesn't really matter that much.
I've got better things to do with my time than to do MS' job for them while having to install Silverlight at the same time.
Though without Silverlight, it may have been fun to come up with search queries for innocent things that involve gay animal sex, clown shoes and old people's inability to control their bowels.
Between makeup, push-up bras, those special undies to help hold their gut in, silk stockings, high heeled shoes, plastic surgery, etc it's hard to tell what a woman actually looks like.
Women are one big lie. That's why I have no problem pretending to earn 3 times as much as I do. I figure they'll be in for a shock just about the same time I will be.
For starters its auto suggest brings up "linux microsoft", "linux windows" and "linux vista" as the first 3 suggestions when searching for Linux. There are other auto suggestions that are a bit off and considering the company I think it's probably more than coincidence that it happens.
No one in my class had an issue reading normal writing and cursive. If you're taught it properly then it's no different to reading anything else. You need to be taught how to hold a pencil/pen (this goes for any writing) and that will improve the legibility, your fatigue and speed.
I do think a lot of schools see writing as not so important so it's not given as much time and it has no benefit for university in the eyes of many. School has become more about preparing people to go to university than teaching kids the basics and how to learn.
The problem is not everyone go to university and in fact not everyone should go to university. It lowers the value of a degree. If everyone was to have a degree they'd be no better than a high school diploma and you'd be lumped with debt on top of it.
It depends entirely on the person. There are a lot of people who don't write in cursive and I can't read their writing. My writing in general is awful since I've primarily worked with computers though my script writing is probably slightly more legible purely because I use it so rarely that I take my time writing it out unlike my normal notes to myself which are pure chicken scratch.
Slashdot Mirror
Replace the Telegraph with the Daily Mail. That's a bigger retard magnet.
I think ball cancer would be a suitable punishment for this.
Too far from cambridge and too close to close to manchester for me. I'm still recovering from a day in Stoke on trent.

Professionals? Clearly you've not paid attention to the news industry. Yellow Journalism is a requirement now.

Some of us do stand by our principles.

They do let you give the games away dumbass. I have two games I could give away but I haven't found someone willing to grovel enough to get them.

Don't worry, it's only a matter of time until we pave that section of the earth.
Someone who doesn't want to pay the equivalent of buying a mid-range whore every month?

Does it matter when the quality is shit, the entertainment section has been castrated and it's full of obese people?
Sorry, I'll pay a bit more to avoid that.
A lot of people get Lenin confused with others. Some think he wrote "Hey Jude" since it was about his kid but it was actually McCartney.

I'm allergic to stupid people and they're a hell of a lot harder to avoid. Hell some days I even give myself an allergic reaction.

That's why they used ot give some kids those rubber triangle things to help them learn to hold the pencil properly. Sort of like this: http://content.onestepahead.com/assets/images/product/detail/11942_1.jpg
