I don't see this as having a big effect on Microsoft. T-Mobile on the other hand....
I don't believe that customers care if your services providers have problems. They have an agreement with you, not your providers.
Simple solution: Lock your laptop in a desk drawer at work. If it gets stolen from there, your company is liable (and needs to improve on-site security).
Maybe. My company specifically states in their handbook that personal items are not the responsibility of the company, and they cannot be held liable for any loss. So, depending on how one defines "your laptop", that statement might not be true.
Sounds like the old John Earling ("Earling in the Morning") routine on KRMG. He was making fun of Oral Roberts, but it was, "Send me your dimes. If everyone within the sound of my voice would send me a single dime, I would be a millionaire, and you would be only a dime short."
My mother solved that problem by deleting every email that comes in with an attachment. One of her idiot friends told her that attachments were used to attack computers, and now every attachment is seen as someone attacking her PC.
More to your point, it is not just attachments stored in email. Mom also uses the URL dropdown in the browser as a substitute for bookmarks, and gets upset when someone else uses the computer because it makes her favorites drop off the list.
What needs to be dealt with is the lazy, untrained at the beginning, developing bad habits. How that will get done is beyond me. I don't try and do any computer work for Mom because all she will do is argue with me. If she has to pay for someone to come in and set things up, she will listen to them because she is paying for it. And, I don't get stuck doing tech support from a thousand miles away. Unfortunately, that means email stores attachments (in the in box, of course), and history equals bookmarks.
Really, tell me what you could include for under $10 that would make a better party, that is not illegal, or morally sketchy (think beer pong, I mean, water pong supplies)?
Well, I am never ashamed to be an American, even if I find the behavior of some of us to be an embarrassment, and I
think it is too early to call Obama the worst President Mi>ever, but I do agree awarding him the Peace prize is bullshit.
Rest assured that all such attempts are being monitored and recorded and that all those who attempt to act in such fashion will be prosecuted to the full extent of the laws pertinent to the case.
Oh, for pete's sake Mr. Thompson, just hush already.

Didn't these guys pay attention to the media? It's the Large Hadron Accelerator that is supposed to create the Earth-destroying black hole...

I hear there is an honest, unemployed lawyer in New York. See if she can practice in Virginia, and sue Block.
Given a choice between a cable that's tethered to the outside world and a robot spider scuttling around inside my butt, I'd say the former was a win.
No kidding. I've seen "Runaway."
Cloud architecture shards data
In this case it certainly did.

A coupon for two at White Castle?
I think they already call them "steam electric stations".
Still, worth the risk to run my ipod forever
So that now when your iPod explodes it leaves your shadow burned onto the wall?
Raelians? Forget the Raelians. Gidney and Cloyd are coming, and the Earth is gonna get scrootched!

What goes to the person who reports the most false positives?
A background investigation.
Well, if Sony perfects their wireless power setup, then using that to run the robots would mean the plug could be pulled.
Of course, if it were Sony's wireless power, that's probably where the rogue software would come from....
Yeah, the Roomba's are sucking on Robosapiens ball bearings.
Just make sure the uplink to USR is disabled

Please tell me I'm not the only one who read your comment and had an 18.5 minute long Arlo Guthrie song pop into my head.....
Are your kidding? Of course not!
Especially if it is a slip/strike fault.
No, and I never tried fucking a styrofoam sheep while doing underwater welding either.
I have so much farther to go before I can say "Now, I have seen it all" than I realized.

I always heard bras converted to yarmulkes with chin straps....
That's odd, but they left the stick in place?
Wouldn't you?
