"In this post-9/11 world, the advertising agency should've:
1) made sure they had permission from the landowners before they placed their ads 2) given the police a heads-up along with photos 3) given the major media a "this is not a story but people may call you about it" heads-up, since people tend to call papers when they see things like bombs"
In the post 911 world, terrorist groups would start off small, and make things like this commonplace, so no one would think about them. Pull your head out of your ***.
Plastic devices with flashing lights or timing devices? Tell me you DID not say that.
"Hey Mr. Mayor, we have this cool idea to advertise our crap electroniclally, strapped to public property...pay no attention to the man behind the curtain..." ONLY an idiot would espouse such drivel.
The older HP lasetjets ROCK. A LaserJet III was, and still is, the defacto brute force printer of the world. Sure they weigh a ton. You can FEEL the quality.
That is why many companies still pay to fix them. They are built rock solid. The new crap, is well, crap. Smaller toner cartridges, worse performance etc.
Sadly, HP seems to be going the way of the dinosaurs. They make cheaply built crap now, at premium prices. Thanks Carly. Yes, I lay blame where it belongs.
Going after the people whom the spammers are promoting is the best idea.
Nip it in the bud. Spammers and those they represent or mis-represent would be nice.
Failing that, the CIA could be used in clandestine hits on Spammers outside of the US. When they see their numbers dropping and being buried, they may think twice. One can only hope.
As far as murders and rapists getting less sever sentences, get out and tell your representatives what you want, then VOTE.
For me, auto theft, carjacking, kidnapping, sexual molsetation of children should be death penalty offenses, right behind perjury for politicians.
Yes, I tell politicians that ALL the time. Some even respond. I do not think they can comprehend, but they do respond at times.
"Nina Reiser was last seen at her husband's home on Exeter Drive in the Oakland hills on Sept. 3, when she dropped off the couple's children. She failed to meet her best friend at her house later that evening, authorities said.
Nina Reiser's 2001 Honda Odyssey minivan, with groceries inside, was found Sept. 9 in the city's Thornhill neighborhood. Neighbors first spotted the parked minivan Sept. 5, the day she was supposed to pick up her children at school, police said."
The minivan was 'spotted' Sept 5th? But 'found' on Sept 9th? Groceries inside? When did the reciept show the groceries were purchased? Before she dropped the kids off or after? If it was after, something is fishy. Grocery store surveilance cameras? Hmmmmmm.
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." SHALL NOT reads just like a commandment. I see no need for interpretation. Any idiot knows a milita is made up of INDIVIDUALS, not people in an organized 'army'. Harrumph.
Yes you have and no you have not. Deja Vu is that feeling, but you must understand, ALL people have this!! The Blind, the Deaf, the Autistic, ALL people get this temporary sensory feedback loop. It is much like a mental hiccup.
When you sleep with my wife, you NEVER KNOW where she has been. She is a well known lady. Who here believes that oral sex, is not sex? And IF AIDS is transmitted by bodily fluids, then spit is not a bodily fluid. Kissy Missy. Oooops !
"Suppose my daughter is in a car accident. Needs help, tries to use her cell phone. Just because some capitalist socio-path wants to make a dollar disabling cell phones, she dies because she happens to be a victim?"
Suppose this was 30 years ago, what would be the difference? A) no cell phones - outcome the same. B) Response time + dropped call- outcome the same. c) Charge on cell phone insufficient - outcome the same.
The point about cell phones being used to trigger bombs, valid point. The ability to use cell phones as timing devices, valid point. The ability to help coordinate gangs of protesters or give advance warning to criminals, valid point.
The argument about disturbing the peace in theaters, valid point. So where do we go from here?
I think that the world survived quite well before cell phones were everywhere. This modern piece of technology has been both a curse and blessing. We need rational laws and built-in technology to control the use of cellular technology.
I, for one, woulld love to see integrated into all electronically controlled cars, that the engine shuts off when a cell phone is activate with in an automobile, with a grace period to allow the driver to pull off the road safely, then the car would be inactive for 30 minutes. Doctors and emergency personnel need not be talking on the phone either when driving.
Then again, I think driving while putting on make-up and eating or reading, should be outlawed also. What a Nazi I am.
Unless you are an ACE programmer, with several outstanding programs already in the wild, Open Source or otherwise, I would go with Microsoft.
Google is looking for talent and they seem to have plenty. It would be more difficult to stand out in their environment. Microsoft has some talented programmers, do not get me wrong, BUT Microsoft SEEMS not to really care about product quality.
Just my 2 cents worth. No I do NOT program, unless you consider IBM 360 assembler, programming. I do not.
When certain groups or cultures, refuse to mainstream them selves and correct members of their own group, why cannot we hate them?
I hate people who cannot abide by the law. Most other people/groups do abibe, but when the 'few' fail to get the message AND I really dislike(hate) them for it, it becomes against the law?
Why do we have laws then? To hate repeat offenders or cultures that encourage repeat offenses, is that unusual? Bullshit. That is human nature.
We have a system of laws to discourage this type of behavior. Now we have 'political correctness' which USURPS our rights. I say shoot anyone who believes there is an entity such as a "hate crime". They HAVE NO CLUE.
Why should society repeatedly ALLOW crimimals to be assholes? Only idiots support this idea.
I WORKED in several shops where the 'managers' thought certifications were the best thing in the world. Sadly, most of the people thet hired with 'Certifications - you name the cert' were simply test takers.
We replaced EVERY one of those people within 2 months of their employment. WE ended up doing the work THEY were supposed to be able to handle.

They are hiding their computer acumen. They puchase the same technology as anyone else does. Through the SAME channels.

Dependent upon the missiles being laser guided.
What about the old heat seekers? There are bound
to be plenty of those lurking about.
The VHS camp simply purchased more TITLES, about 3 to one, versus Betamax.
Most people could not see the quality difference between the two formats.
The VHS format had more product to watch and won in the marketplace. Any
other thoughts were superflous.
I had both types of machines. I even had laser discs a couple of years later. Yes, I was there.
People with recently stolen identities :)
Cheesy Induction ploy, if you have to place it on or in the proximity of a device
you may as well have wires.
Moonshiners have been doing that for hundreds of years. What is so new???
NOTHING.
Nope , still dead.
Precisely, They are up to their old tricks once again.
Is this the FEDEX of meetings? Hardly.
Precisely, unless they are on an intercept orbit with the Earth,
who cares???
Radiatyes all the time. It will get to Mars soon enough.
When your child goes missing, for whatever reason, you will be singing a different tune.
Standardization Rules. It does tend to screw those proprietary :)
morons, but, what the hell...screw them
I agree, if you have the balls to portray innuendo(sp) as fact, then
you have the balls to PROVE the 'facts' as stated.
Post the names : They will be coming out is court possibly
