Yeah a democracy where your vote counts whichever way the machine is programmed to make it count. At least moreso now than ever before, and continually that threat increases.
Obviously you put really tiny knives at the edge of the vacuum sucker that break those bonds and force the atoms to go in single file, and since the oxygen atom is so huge it just can't fit and it floats away. DUH.
I do this as well, not for their benefit but for mine. I don't want calls at 2 in the morning complaining that the computer is a slow piece of crap and I need to come fix it. I set them up with the tools, let them know what they're for, and tell them that any additional support will cost them money.
Seriously.. who are they going to point users to when they can't figure out how to attach their open office spreadsheet into an open office word file? (Sorry I've never used open office so I don't know what the program names are.) Companies like the one I work at support employees at work AND at home, but if you're running non-standard crap at home we won't even attempt to help. If you're running, windows, office, and a few other select softwares (adobe & lotus mainly) we will bend over backwards to help out, as long as it's business related (of course we can't verify that).
I know we're not the only company that does this because I've worked at other companies that do this. Imagine now if people started getting open office installed when they got their new dells... who would be there to guide them thru double clicking their open office template or what-have you? Not us, not dell, not microsoft. And as irritated as such users are, I have to admit that without them I wouldn't have had many of the jobs I've had including this one.
Cool idea there, but I can't say much for the implementation. It took me a minute of just staring at the screen to try to figure out what the heck all those buttons were for. If you could slim the interface down to a search and a "time open/closed" I think you'd be much better off, and then you could gradually add more features...
I had an idea a couple years ago about starting a massive searchable database of what times companies open and close so you can quit wasting your time driving or calling when there's no one there. Finally it can be done. I wonder if that is something most businesses would find worthwhile to keep updated... it sure would come in handy.
I agree.. but then I also realize why some teachers did it this way. By forcing you do turn in the homework they taught you how to cheat to stay afloat, or even get ahead in life, which is all it ever made kids really do. They sought out the ones who understood the material and breezed through the homework and then begged, bribed, or coerced them into giving it out to be copied.
I agree with your post. I watch all my Daily Show and Colbert Report online at comedycentral.com but up until recently I was very disinclined to do so because of the 30 - 45 second commercial in between each 2 minute clip. Thankfully now you can almost watch an entire show without a single commercial... why? I don't know, but I like it.
Cue the 200 "US has so much more land area than _____, so that's why" threads. I think this story has been a repeat on Slashdot for a good portion of 6 years, if not more.
Well I'm not sure what you're saying here, but we're both right. UDP however does not get static routes. It may be given higher priority but that's about it.
No way. Border routers and gateway routers are all dynamic. They're so dynamic that the engineers who initially set them up and scared as hell to try to mess with anything related to the routes once they're up and running. They typically use OSPF and HSRP and probably a few other protocols to maintain lightning fast route updates between each other. More often than not they will be set to use the least congested (lowest latency) path possible regardless of hops.
The point is you would think an agency charged with highly sensitive information relating to national security would have their shit locked down airtight.
I've worked for some major corporations dealing with financial information that would've castrated people one by one until this was no longer a problem. I find it very hard to believe the FBI is this relaxed about the problem.

Yeah like I'm going to believe that post you troll.
:P
Girlfriend? Please. Woman insurance exec? Tell me another one.
I'm going to talk with my supermodel slashdot employee girlfriend about getting you chained underneath that bridge.

Seems to work out well.
That's because I moved to Iowa.

I hope you can see this, because I'm doing it as hard as I can!

Just my $.02 though.
Because it will keep you from walking out into the street and getting hit by the bus? The real question here is, who is the bus?

This is a head-start in the business world.
Houston has 2 frys... to think I didn't live in that store while I had the chance... *sigh*
i have no idea what that means, but i want one too!
However, it makes people watching you too closely blind.
I think the only crackpot thing about it was the author. The entire article was done terribly.

Canada is for throwing terror suspects in the hole for years with no trial and then possibly releasing them.
And you are a terrorist if you think local cops misbehave.
It says that, like the extraterrestrials, humans have three choices: colonize the galaxy, remain on Earth, or become extinct."
In other breaking news... the Earth is round.

I live in Des Moines, IA and I've got 10m/1m for $50 a month and it's pretty rock solid.

I agree. No more sensitive data either!
