The problem though, is Mitt Romney's "good-ole American capitalism" is part of why so many people are out of work right now. Bain Capital's entire business is buying up businesses, dismantling them, and selling them for parts to pay off debts incurred in said purchases. How is this good for the USA?
He may understand more about the economy, but I bet he's unwilling to fix it, because simply put, keeping it the way it is makes more money for big business.
Before I got an auth'er, I once logged into the armory app on my iPhone over an insecure wireless. Yeah, stupid, I know. My account was compromised shortly after. A couple weeks later, I got it back, intact to the way it was before the hack.
Now, I have a password I don't use anywhere else, a mobile auth'er (that I changed the serial number on after I read about this breach), and I have it set to *always* require the auth'er to log in. Now that whatever mobile auth'er info they got regarding my account is useless, I should be relatively okay.
I've installed Ubuntu and Mint for a variety of end users -- from football jocks to the elderly to the moderately PC-illiterate. The only time any of them ran into an issue was when they wanted to run Windows software, and even then, I was able to give them a Linux equivalent, and they were fine.
So anyone who says Linux is not "average user" ready, you're just plain wrong. My tech support record flies in the face of that.
You're thinking about the geeky technical aspects, I'm thinking of average Joe.
Casual first-person shooter gamers keep wanting "more realism! more realism!" out of their games, and average non-geek Joe couldn't care less about the frame rate, all they care is that it looks more "real". But the instant they get "more realism" out of their movies, they're all up in arms because it looks like video instead of film, and the "video" look in a movie is associated with cheap made-for-TV movies. They never think as to WHY the 'video look' is supposed to be better.
Well, you can faraday your *home*, since it's your private space and not open to the public. You just can't do it to publicly-accessible spaces. Sorry that wasn't clear.
So if you ever see a re-release of an older movie saying "NOW IN 3D!", stay away, because it's going to be crap. You can't reliably translate a 2D-shot movie into 3D. Without that stereoscopic camera setup at the time of shooting, it just doesn't work.
Blocking cellphone signals (in the US, anyway) is illegal everywhere except hospitals (who block them to keep them from interfering with medical equipment).
The reason is because if an emergency happens, people need to be able to dial 911. At the hospital, dialing 911 is moot since you're you're already there.
Funny how people expect better frame rates from their *games* than their movies. I expect some of these people crying about how 48fps looks "too real" or "video-like" would have a shit-fit if their game was anything under 60.
Not true in all states... some states do assume wait staff, pizza drivers, et al will get tipped, and allow the restaurant to adjust the base pay below minimum wage to account for it. The caveat is that if the tips do NOT make up the difference to minimum wage, the restaurant has to.
No.... The term 'theory' has a very strong connotation in science. Gravity is a theory too, and is utterly provable.
Hell, evolution on a microscopic scale has even been observed in labs. Why do you think we have to keep producing so many new antibiotics? Because bacteria keeps *evolving*.
Yes, and the user has the option of not only setting how strong to make Gatekeeper, but also the option of turning Gatekeeper *off*. Most people will use it because they don't know better to keep crap off their machine. Power users will turn it off and install what they wish. I don't see the problem with Apple's Gatekeeper.
At least MacOS still has no plans from moving away from the now-intuitive "File Edit View..." menu system.
That's the worst part of Win8, IMHO, the "ribbon"ization of the pseudo-desktop that it has. I once had someone tell me "well it integrates with Office 2010 now", to which my reply was, "and if the majority of businesses weren't still using Office 2007, that would mean something..."

That's just it... there is mounting evidence that Glee *did* use JoCo's actual backing track (JoCo sells karaoke tracks of all his music)
You mean this? ;)

Hearst owns the Boston ABC affiliate, Gormally Broadcasting owns the Springfield ABC affiliate. MA has no ABC O&Os
I think the Citizens United decision disagrees with you.
I trust the company you have to convince is Hearst (owners of WCVB in Boston, the local ABC affiliate), not ABC themselves.

Welcome to why I actually pay $2/month for a NetSol email account at my own domain, and I retrieve said email onto my actual machine.
There is *supposed* to be an item in "Foundation.framework" called "XPCServices", but it's not a folder, it's a shortcut.
If you actually have a FOLDER called that, then you're infected.

My point still stands though. They expect more realism out of their games then they do live-action video.

Did you run a fan controller?
To be fair, how many of those workers are working full time to get that $60K?

So their greed won't see the words "guaranteed revenue stream for life"? I find that hard to believe.
...a monthly fee added to your internet bill, say an extra $10-$20/month, sent straight to them.
To cover unlimited downloading of movies and music, no matter where you get them from on the net.
Some countries do that model already, the effect being their 'net users don't have to worry about what they're downloading or uploading
Why is that so hard?
