Well, people should have an expectation that if they upload a picture marked private to a service like MySpace, it will appear on MySpace tagged as private. Beyond that...:)
This was the second thing I thought. The first thing was "serves people right for not maintaining backups" (and I don't mean that in a shitty way, like they DESERVED this because they didn't create backups; more of a "lesson learned" kind of thing) but that was immediately followed by "wait, how does Charter NOT have backups of every last public-facing server storage device operating on their network?!"
Probably not, because the police are not profiting them, and there are restrictions/guidelines that cover what they are allowed to do with them. If your likeness was to be pictured on a product or in an advertisement, it would have to be license from you by having you sign waivers, etc.
I guess I see what Ford's argument is. Ford themselves can obviously print calendars with no issue, but if you wanted to sell a calendar of Fords - whether or not the images are of member cars or not - I would expect there to be some sort of licensing involved. Taking a camera full of images of Fords to a print shop and creating a calendar for your own use at home would probably be a different story.
Lots of devices, even when turned off, draw power in a standby state. The only way to find out which ones do that and how much they draw is to use a killawatt or something similar.
I'm pretty anal about energy conservation. I have nearly all of my powered devices plugged into strips. I frequently not only turn off the device when I'm done using it, but also the strip itself when I know I'm not using any of the devices on the strip. This prevents slow current usage by devices even in their standby state. Any devices that aren't able to maintain their settings when the lose power (and don't have some form of built in battery back-up, like my alarm clock) get plugged directly in to the wall.
20 strong, including our system administration team and two people who have security titles who are mostly just developers. This is up from three workers - one manager, one developer, and one "content producer" (essentially a less senior developer who gets paid less) - less than four years ago.
My biggest beef with the Firefox crowd (not the developers themselves) has always been that it seems very agenda-based. Not gaining market share, not being a good browser, but just being anti-something (IE?). If a product is good, it will speak for itself. I don't need every geek and useragent-detecting website out there to tell my that I should be using another browser. It comes off as VERY fanboyish, too. There are very few features in firefox that I actually look for, and, in fact, the ONLY reason I use it is because I can create bookmark groups. That's it.
If I decide I need a new browser, I will use a new browser. Until then, I will use as man browser as I want.
Believe it or not, land lines still exist. In an emergency situation where a land line is readily accessible and one choses to use a cell phone instead, that's an invitation for disaster.
If you're that in demand, then you don't have the time to be sitting in a public performance. Frankly, it's a bit irresponsible for you to make yourself unavailable if this is the case.
"Prove it" is always my first reaction, but then I thought about something a little more banal.
I can't STAND broccoli. Something about it bugs the crap out of me. I don't like its taste or it's texture and it gives me gas something fierce. So I don't eat it. But do I chose not to like broccoli? I chose not to EAT it, but I don't actually choose not to like it. Seems like the situation would be better all around if I just chose to like it. So why don't I like it? Etc etc...
With that small bit of clarification - "religious, sexual, or political preference" - I wonder if they actually enforce this policy uniformly for all of the above. Do they shut down guilds that align themselves with Christians, Jews, Islam, libs/dems, left/right, etc? If not, then you've gone from potential harassment and being singled out by other players to definite harassment and being singled out by Blizzard.
Nostly, you can keep your appointments/calendar, memos, tasks, emails, etc in sync with your Exchange profile. Some of them have 2-way capabilities, but other than that, they're just normal cells as far as I can tell.
What exactly is the Blackberry service? What does this mean for Sprint/Nextel customers?
Many folks in my office have Blackberry phones with the Nextel 2-way service, but our service is provided through Nextel. As far as I know, we are billed directly by Nextel and don't have a "Blackberry service", which leads me to believe that the Blackberry service in question here isn't exactly what I think it is.
I'd like to know how that lady normally uses an elevator. If having to press a button corresponding to the floor at which you wish to arrive is "ridiculous", does she just stand in elevators waiting and hoping to arrive at the correct floor?
That's along the lines of what I was thinking. But, not only that, if there is no dedicated in-house beta team, they rely on input from users out in public to move it from beta to production. If users aren't submitting input/feedback, they've gotta wait until they get it before they can act on it, which could take time...
When you consider the size limitations placed on notebook drives (smaller platters/surface area, fewer platters per drive; I would assume the data density is the same) you can easily see why they haven't moved too far. Thanks to perpendicular recording, there are now 160GB drives with 200GB coming along soon, but I can't see them getting much bigger than that.

I find it appropriate that the story icon is a red Swingline stapler.

Hopefully someone can clarify.
He may not have meant that literally. Kind of "I didn't really realize I actually wanted that until now that it's too late".

Yeah, let's all take advice on morality from hookers...
Doesn't mean Apple can't rethink and switch back
Don't you mean "think different"?
Nice to know that I'm helplessly straight and couldn't be gay if I wanted to. Just the way I am, I guess.

So now I just try to avoid shouting "prove it".

One time I swapped sim cards with a friend's mobile phone. Are you saying I'm not a h4x0r?
Awesome. There are plenty of Motorola phones I would much rather have over this (7520). (:
Muchas gracias.

It's a man bag.
