In the event somebody may have noted this already, Sony has decided to cancel the release to all theaters this afternoon. It was not the theater chains' decision. I guess Sony Entertainment et al didn't want to risk seeing any of the threats come to fruition. Here are some links for your perusal: http://twitchy.com/2014/12/17/...http://www.theblaze.com/storie...
Meanwhile, there may be an idea of who is behind the breach and release: http://www.theblaze.com/storie...
Who prints anymore? How about people who work outside the office or from home in the field, whether they are sitting in a movie theater having to write down the trailers, or have to visit several retailers where the signature is necessary. Maybe a person who audits a large electronics store and the audit paperwork exceeds 40 pages? Just a few examples and if people didn't print anymore because it is 2011 maybe you need to convince HP, Lexmark, Brother, Canon to stop making the devices and let Office Max and Staples know they are wasting floor space with their print services because printing is a thing of the past.
Been with TMo for a few years now and I still have the plan I started with. 1000 anytime minutes for $39.99, the unlimited data for $24.99 and 400 texts for $5. So why would I want to go with somebody else? I was in an AT&T store to see what they offer and the lowest price is still over $90. When I told the rep what I am paying he said "That is what causes companies to be bought up because they aren't making any money". Nah, I think it is more greed than wanting to give their hostages.. er, customers a better service experience.
Actually they could just write a check to the treasury if they feel that strongly about it. Why should they push for the tax and your other suggestions? It is their money, they earned and what they choose to do with it is their business. As far as I can tell, whether it is Bill Gates, Steve Jobs or Warren Buffet, their personal wealth has no bearing on my life. And by the way, if the government did get the money from raising the top 1% earners taxes, are you so sure those funds would even "help out the country that allowed them to make their fortunes"? And what exactly is their "fair share"? They should already be paying more taxes than you or me.
The remaining devices were almost all served by downloading drivers from Windows Update
Has anyone, in the history of humanity, ever gotten that to work?
Are you serious? You've never seen an updated driver package on Windows Update?
Maybe he did not notice the Custom button and always uses the Express install for Windows Updates. If you select custom, it shows hardware/drivers and in some cases other software updates not part of the typical security updates released monthly.
This is somewhat off topic, but I was just having a conversation with someone who is about to buy a Mac.
I was against it and an argument started.
I said there were too few people supporting the Mac.
He responded, "When was the last time you heard of a virus on a Mac?"
And I said "See, even people who write viruses don't support Macs."
Here is quite a bit for some to consider.
Job 38-41
Job 38
The LORD Speaks
1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the storm. He said:
2 "Who is this that darkens my counsel
with words without knowledge?
3 Brace yourself like a man;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.
4 "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.
5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?
6 On what were its footings set,
or who laid its cornerstone-
7 while the morning stars sang together
and all the angels [a] shouted for joy?
8 "Who shut up the sea behind doors
when it burst forth from the womb,
9 when I made the clouds its garment
and wrapped it in thick darkness,
10 when I fixed limits for it
and set its doors and bars in place,
11 when I said, 'This far you may come and no farther;
here is where your proud waves halt'?
12 "Have you ever given orders to the morning,
or shown the dawn its place,
13 that it might take the earth by the edges
and shake the wicked out of it?
14 The earth takes shape like clay under a seal;
its features stand out like those of a garment.
15 The wicked are denied their light,
and their upraised arm is broken.
16 "Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea
or walked in the recesses of the deep?
17 Have the gates of death been shown to you?
Have you seen the gates of the shadow of death [b] ?
18 Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth?
Tell me, if you know all this.
19 "What is the way to the abode of light?
And where does darkness reside?
20 Can you take them to their places?
Do you know the paths to their dwellings?
21 Surely you know, for you were already born!
You have lived so many years!
22 "Have you entered the storehouses of the snow
or seen the storehouses of the hail,
23 which I reserve for times of trouble,
for days of war and battle?
24 What is the way to the place where the lightning is dispersed,
or the place where the east winds are scattered over the earth?
25 Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain,
and a path for the thunderstorm,
26 to water a land where no man lives,
a desert with no one in it,
27 to satisfy a desolate wasteland
and make it sprout with grass?
28 Does the rain have a father?
Who fathers the drops of dew?
29 From whose womb comes the ice?
Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens
30 when the waters become hard as stone,
when the surface of the deep is frozen?
31 "Can you bind the beautiful [c] Pleiades?
Can you loose the cords of Orion?
32 Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons [d]
or lead out the Bear [e] with its cubs?
33 Do you know the laws of the heavens?
Can you set up God's [f] dominion over the earth?
34 "Can you raise your voice to the clouds
and cover yourself with a flood of water?
35 Do you send the lightning bolts on their way?
Do they report to you, 'Here we are'?
36 Who endowed the heart [g] with wisdom
or gave understanding to the mind [h] ?
37 Who has the wisdom to count the clouds?
Who can tip over the water jars of the heavens
38 when the dust becomes hard
and the clods of earth stick together?
39 "Do you hunt the prey for the lioness
and satisfy the hunger of the lions
40 when they crouch in their dens
or lie in wait in a thicket?
41 Who provides food for the raven
when its young cry out to God
and wander about for lack of food?
Job 39
1 "Do you know when the mountain goats give birth?
Do you watch when the doe bears her fawn?
2 Do you count the months till they bear?
Do you know the time they give birth?
3 They crouch down and bring forth their young;
their labor pains are ended.
4 Their young thrive and grow strong in the wilds;
