    I love my galaxy note. See I have a giant head so when I'm talking on the phone with my note it really helps make my head look smaller.

    I had my Droid X for almost 3 years. Really only got the S3 because I thought I should upgrade. Actually my Droid X does everything I do with my S3 except 4G....should have probably saved the money :(

    Putting your face through a windshield at the start of an acting career before plastic surgery was a major option can really limit your screen time. He made the best of what he could.

    It also represents a small pipe that could be compressed and sent easily over a 100Mb link. In practice it can be sent over an even much smaller link.

    A complete set of Stanly tools, like the Stanly hammer that only pounds Stanly nails. Or the Stanly spanner that only turns Stanly bolts. Sure they do 95% of what you need as long as you don't want to do it with 95% of the rest of the world.

  11. Re:Butts in seats is tremendously helpful... on The Data That Drove Yahoo's Telecommuting Ban · · Score: 1

    It's quite simple actually. I look around and find the most productive person in the office. I do slightly more than that person per day (usually only takes me a couple to three hours) then I slack off the rest of the time. Sorry I work very fast and get a lot done yet my pay scale fits in the same narrow bracket as people that do less than half of what I do so I just make sure I do enough.

    Sorry, you are doing it wrong. If you're not breaking that very large project up then you are just doing a very poor job.

    I think a better example may be someone going through stores and seeing which ones are posting people's credit card info on a large board behind the cashier for all to see or the ones that are actually trying to keep it hidden. That is seriously about how stupid many of these web sites are and if this was happening in meat space this list would be uncontested as a supreme public service.

    Actually, humans are continuing to evolve. Only the selective pressures are different.

    And those selective pressures are artificial and push towards weakness. (not in muscle but in gene strength) How does perpetuation a genetic disease build a stronger gene pool? We have comforted society into a race to the evolutionary bottom.

    You're assumption is very wrong. Evolution is used to make you fit for an environment, yet our environment is more and more allowing for evolution of weaker traits rather than stronger.

    Because we have a warning label on every item that could possibly cause injury no matter how obvious. We have tech that will insure the genetically weak will continue to breed. We have governments that cradle and encourage the simple minded to be more so.

    Without genetic engineering we are doomed at our current rate of evolution.
