This is not censorship! this is required protection of employees who are being targetted by a very aggresive and angry union. It's reasonable to assume that as an employee, I could sue TELUS for not taking reasonable means to protect me when my picture is up on this site painted with cross hairs, simply because I continue to work.
The website contained unauthorized photos of managers and workers that weren't participating in their strike, with the intent of targetting these people. As someone who had their picture posted on the site, i'm glad TELUS restricted access as much as they could within their control. I don't personally like being painted with cross hairs just for doing my normal job.
I just went and test drove a Nissan 350Z - beautiful car. But it has a damn tape deck in it! What the hell is that all about? You can't get it without the deck. I'm actually considering it a major strike against my decision to purchase the car because I think it may limit resale in 5 years when it's REALLY seen as a technology that's behind the times. I'm driving a 2001 neon now, and it's also got a tape deck in it i've never used - hell, I don't even know if it works. What gives with these manufacturers slupping this crap on us?
It would be those damned canadians - watch out, this is the first step they are taking to dominate the world!
If we really want to plan for the future...

Why not IPV32 - and forget about ever worrying about a lack of addresses.. i'd like to give everything an address so why not just set it so high that it'd never be an issue?
Why? The show sucks! - As much as I love seeing Hoshi and T'pol all 'hottied' up, the entire format is just...old.
What I would propose is an entirely new show - call it.. "Star Trek - Federation" and have it be about the folks back at home at the time voyager was lost. It could follow attempts to get them back from the delta quadrant, as well as explore other ships and missions based at federation central. Lots of opportunity for new show ideas, lots of cast and a showcase of earthbound 24th century technology!
the sun is slow on the horizon, could be opposite that angle.. if it was something moving it would show an arc with gravitational pull.. nothing moves that fast. it's clearly a lens flare or reflection of some sort.
Similar to what americans will eventually do to themselves, the dinosaurs went extinct because they were too big. They used too many inputs, and didn't provide enough usable output to sustain their lives. The top of the food chain tends to topple off the pyramid and everyone else below moves up. Gas guzzling SUVs and the highest consumer rates are very similar to eating too many plants and animals. That, and if you end up faced with either one your best option is to play dead or run.
Probably the biggest change with all this technology is how fast life is these days. They say that the speed of life/business and everything in general is 10 times what your parents, parents used to endure. The fact that people can reach me anytime, anywhere and so easily (i mean it takes time and effort to hand write a letter) means that more work comes my way, and it's a constant flow. I appreciate voicemail, that is, being able to sit back and review in my own time - but it's use seems a rarity in the days of cells, pagers and instant messaging. *sigh* the age of information? the age of overload (hello ADHD) more like.
I can't beleive they would be tracking my beer purchases!! those bastards.. think of what might happen.. they might make beer cheaper, or more available or cold when i want it that way.. son of a.. @#%#@^
can you say paranoid?? They may be the first beer company to track sales as they happen, but they are certainly not the first industry.. this happens everyday.. you better not buy anything ever again!!
It's funny, i'm actually not a fan of starbucks at all, but enjoy challenging your closed-minded holier-than-thou view of the world.
I invite you to expand on what you think is wrong with being in business to be the best, versus being in business because your the local guy.
Have you checked out Starbucks's pages on corporate social responsibility? I invite you to read about their environmental programs, the fact that out of other coffee chains they are the largest recycler of coffee and consumer 'waste', and the social programs they have in place to better communities globally. Not to mention there excellent trade policies, and import restrictions on items that are not 'fair trade' or degrade communities that house over-seas suppliers.
You might consider that as a devoted environmentalist, my sole consideration in who i chose to do business with, lies there only. We are a global community, this is reality. You embrace it, or you are negatively affected by it - your choice.
Because I support the people that make/provide a product/service that I consider to be the best, I am inconsiderate? I also pick which charities I donate to based on who I feel does the best work in my community, does that make me inconsiderate if they happen to be a large organization? The fact is we are talking about where is best to use wi-fi, drink coffee and engage the community socially. What you consider an appeal for a more broad consideration of options, seems more like an expression of delusional corporate paranoia - take another paxil buddy.
How about just going to whichever place you feel has the best service, coffee and let's you loiter around? If that happens to be your local starbucks, so be it. It's probably locally owned and operated anyway, so your still supporting the locals, regardless of the fact that some of their profit goes elsewhere.
Cool, welcome to the club;) Believe it or not, there are mailing lists, websites etc.. course, a bunch of intj's on a mailing list is fuel for 800 000 arguments daily.. hahah!!
Try to take it a step further, get the other people in your life- family, friends, co-workers, gf/bf etc.. to take the tests. Other sites on the net will detail how to properly communicate with them and articulate your thoughts in a way their types understand easily.. really opens up doors!
I recall seeing a site that categorizes your relationships by what they mean to you, based on your typology and that of your friends - i found it really accurate, the types listed as 'cohorts' to our types, indeed make up the list of people i often get in trouble with!!
Just to clarify.. I don't mean to suggest that extroverts can't change quickly from thought to thought, just that they are used to aquiring this change externally, and therefore their brains are wired in this manner. I would say that a similar book could be written 'the extroverts advantage' because they definately have advantages over introversion. This difference is why some introverts appear 'wishy-washy' by flipping around between unrelated thoughts, and not tying them properly together for the benefit of external understanding - 'one time, at bandcamp'...
Agreed.. I think they way the author has chosen to describe this is more about selling books to a wider audience, than being accurate. Perhaps this is the most socially acceptable way they could think to put it, but I feel it falls short of the mark. I would say extroverts need the external energy to engage in conversation, and keep it flowing, where introverts don't need it, and therefore rely less on social situatons (and are therefore less experienced with them).
Well.. I am no expert, but from what I have read on the net, and through various texts, extroverts tend to have linear thought processes, they go from one thought to an evolution of that same thought - introverts can complelely change their thinking course, and be onto something completely different before their extrovert counterparts. Extroverts rely on other people to change their thoughts, introverts change on their own.
Powered by the influence of drugs, this process is amazingly intensive - when you get the 'energy' that introverts are 'said to lack internally' it's amazing what your brain does with it. I do not in anyway want to say that drugs are good.. drugs are bad(tm) and can lead to seriously bad things. But, there is a reason why shamans, and medicine man explored there use.. to an introvert it's a supply of mental energy that only pushes further the capabilities of your brain (when used correctly, i.e. not abused). I recently tried 'e' - in a group of people I was the only introvert, everyone was happy and dancing and engaging in socialties.. I was very happy/warm/social, and enjoyed talking to people, but I noticed the sunrise coming up, and couldn't take myself away from it.. seing the light enter the atmosphere from behind mountains, and the ensuing release of heat, moisture and energy fueling cloud formations in the upper atmosphere was such a powerful experience.. I haven't tried e since.. but some seriously synaptic doors have changed in my brain.. it definately altered the way I percieve things through the creation of new pathways (this is my interpretation i have no idea if this is what genuinely occured) - but since that day.. seeing the sunrise has become an experience I can only describe as spiritual (I am not religious in any way) an event that alot of humans cannot enjoy deeply (I think everyone can appreciate the asthetic beauty), because they don't understand the underlying processes and how complicated and deeply embedded every earthly process is. This brings me to a true addiction I have.. it has been proven recently that learning releases endorphens in a similar way as drugs, albeit in smaller amounts, I have to admit I am hopelessly addicted to learning and try to assimilate any piece of knowledge/text/info that comes my way.. from what I have read, this is built into my personality type - now armed with this information, I am trying to steer my knowledge reception so that I don't waste my time learning (seemingly) useless things.
If there is anyone here who really understands these tests.. is it the answers that define your result, or your interpretation of the questions? I always get INTJ.. even though i am sure through successive tests i have answered questions differently... odd.
What marks it as a preference rather than predisposition? If it's not hardwired, I can only think it's a product of parenting. I have many friends that truly need to be around other people, and they don't understand how i don't need to be around them - I enjoy it, sure - I am popular at work, and in my social life.. but i can derive alot of knowledge/insight when immersed in my own thought processes, I think because an interuption in my thought process consumes too much energy to regain course.. I find external influences divert my attention, or spread my 'thinking powers' out to thin.. when a girlfriend asks me 'what are you thinking about' - it's usually the last time they ask.. because i go on to explain the 100 things i am thinking about at once in my head.. I would have a hard time saying it's my preference.. the brain, like any other bodily system builds itself on it's own behaviour.. saying that an introvert 'obtains energy' from being by themselves, is a bit of a misnomer.. what the hell does that mean anyway? from what i have read or specialized knowledge systems and learning apparatus built into our brains allows us to learn intuitively by our own reason/logic, rather than learning from others.. i think saying this is more accurate than saying 'obtains energy from' - 'gains insight by' is maybe more correct.. anyway, I enjoyed your counter point, and would welcome futher discussion..

I could have easily supplied the necessary sample for testing...
hah.. yeah i guess that would have been an obvious option eh :)

You know they ALWAYS make it sound less probably to avoid widespread panic.... damnit, I wonder if my iPod will survive the apocolypse?
