From TFA: "The unfortunate thing is that this Nintendo game called Wii had what looks like a solid black, basically automatic-looking type mechanism that operates the game,"
No, the unfortunate thing is that the fucking gun was left out in the first place. Would the child still have shot herself if the gun was left out and they didn't even own a Wii? The anti-gun/anti-vidya game loons are gonna have a field day with this one...
No office, no staff, low overhead....think we'll see a drop in insurance premiums? Nope. They have to pay for that fancy camera and 'puter. I bet you'll still have to pay a co-pay, even.
I'd go to an Indian doctor any day, even virtually. I go to one now and I tell myself every time: The only thing missing is a chat session so I can understand the bastard.
I think this is a completely legitimate question, but I agree with the author...it's barely scientific. Let's do this again with about 50 people, all who have little to no PDA experience and therefore no bias to one type or another. Then another 50 who are used to physical, and yet another 50 used to on-screen. Run the test and see what the results are. I'm sure more scientific/.ers out there have even better methods but this would at least offer more accurate results than what the author did.
Is the extended warranty still useless if I only pay 50% of the "new" price on a "opened item" that's been refurbished or was on display? I get the same protection that a consumer would get if they bought a new product but I pay a fraction of the price for something that, with the warranty, is as good as new. Wouldn't the end of life on an opened item make the bathtub shorter and thus fall within the protected time line?
Here in the U.S., we have this thing called "crime". For some reason is seems to occur in dimly lit places so to help counter-act this phenomena, we crank up the lights to eleven (although, statistics will show that most crimes happen in broad daylight, so go figure that). Ahhhh. America: The Paranoid...
"Anybody else think something is integrated with something else in a deeply, deeply wrong way here?"
Remember IE4? I know this mostly talks about how M$ tried to monopolize the browser world, but when it first came out in 98 Se I remember thinking "Man they really twisted this into the OS...we can't even uninstall it!". I think that's just part of their "Enhanced User Experience":-p
Not sure if you are virtualized or not, but VMWare client offers many great reporting features to give you CPU, MEM and HD utilization usage per server. Also, if you are running Cisco networking, the management interface can give you detailed reports with pretty graphs and such (which we all know executives LOVE to see). Another tool which I find useful for web-based environments is Statcounter. They provide very detailed information about pageloads and unique/returning visitors, all based on IP.
I wonder if AT&T is doing this so they can then go to those VoIP companies and say "Hey, you guys are killing our bandwidth...give us money to help upgrade out network". Of course, we already knew they were bitching about MMS and other data already bringing their network to its knees (but don't worry AT&T, we won't tell Vonage or Skype ).

After 12 years, I finally have a use for that TURBO button on the front of my case again.

If they shut you down you wouldn't be able to follow the prompts and links to give them your money.
Lemme guess....you can see Russia, too?
Nobody expects Joe Consumer to remember something as hostile as a MAC address, so there isn't a "user convenience" argument to be made
Then maybe they will implement MNS (Mac Name Service)?

I think they were the one's really pushing for this patent.
They probably figured you could shell out in OSX and that would be good enough. Plus, how hard would it be to add another boot option?
Hmm...all his food has a slight hint of apples.

"What types of reports and information do other System Administrators submit to executives and on what frequency?"
TPS reports, of course!
Now bring on the Redundant Mod!
I agree....we need more water separating Virginia from the rest of the U.S.
So then, to stay under the radar you could set your router's traffic shaping to allow only 69% of your bandwidth at all times, right?
Of course, that's assuming you are given 100% of what you are actually paying for, which is almost never the case.
no.
Man, that's a lot of Astro-Glide.

Foreplay with myself?
I want them to use this technology to make my willy slick 24/7....no lube needed...EVER!
Slashdotters have to rely on indirect investigation. Otherwise they'd have to actually go outside to get the news.
Which also prevents you from being able to use most applications; ergo, prevents any actual work taking place. Sounds like a Win-Win.
