"Yeah, the real problem here is that the governmet has decided to take reasoning that makes perfect sense in a war zone and apply it to our communities."
Good point, and this has been the case long before 9/11. Back in the '80s, during the war on drugs, my 6th grader wired playdough to a watch and 9volt battery and left it prominently in his locker, telling no one. During one of the ongoing locker searches, the "device" was found, the school evacuated + bomb squad called, and my son was taken to the police station where I had to collect him and his artwork. Land of the free my ass.
Did you feel that rumble? Did you hear that sound?
Well it wasn't no earthquake, but it shook the ground.
It made me think about power, like it or not:
I got to work for earth for what it's worth,
'Cause it's the only earth we've got.
Shut 'um Down!
If that's the only way to keep them from melting down!
Shut 'um Down!
If that's the only way to keep them from melting down!
I've heard a lot about safety and human error.
A few dials and gauges is just a wing and a prayer.
If you need perfection, and that's what it takes,
Then you can't use people, don't need people,
You know people make mistakes...
Shut 'um Down!
If that's the only way to keep them from melting down!

Consider this: the internet was not created and then we began to lose our right to privacy, but instead, the internet was created to bypass our right to privacy, and we all fell for it.
Well that's exactly right: they DO have the time for stupid endeavors, and this is by design. The warlords and crime bosses and bigC's of the world would not stand for government mucking about in their profit-gathering biz, so councils are appointed to keep public servants busy with make-work.
As a retired UI designer, the referenced article reads like sour grapes. The reasons for the "trouble" as posted (lack of established guidelines / misguided insistence by companies / developer community's ignorance) sounds like whining from a standards organization. Old farts always sound this way when someone younger and more bold come up with something new.
Exactly. Dropbox is one of many "Facebooks" of cloud storage. I wonder what Evernote is doing... but not that I really care. I would not put sensitive data in the cloud without providing my own security first. I've used Dropbox, and kudos to the drop-outs for designing something so drop-dead simple to use, as compared to say iDisk in Mobileme, which I assume was designed by folks with advanced degrees.
>> why does the general public in the US still cling to their customary system of units?
Is it the general public that clings, or Corporate America? Granted, the average citizen might be confused for a year or two, but if mfgs used both units on their packaging for a year or so, and Corporate America committed to convert, it could be done easily. Stop blaming the poor slob, and put the responsibility where it belongs - on the mfgs!
All our Seagate Barracudas are made in Thailand. The failure rate for the >1tb has been below norm (none), and for 1tb, about average (occasional). Darn good iron, if that's your thing.
As a frequent flyer to Tland, I'd say that was odd. Either you said something in a way they found offensive or dangerous, or it was just routine. With that said, the Thia equivalent of the TSA is very professional, and follow whatever guidelines they have to the letter. I've never seen them pat down a crying six-year old however, and plenty of skanky looking tourists pass thru unheeded everyday.
Fascinating post. Glad they had none of this nonsense when I was there...I probably would have received another ton of Domino's pizza adverts over the years in my mailbox (and I guess now my inbox).
Bought 2, and after a few years both are dead - the power supply inside will not handle 220v systems found in India and Nepal (unstable, even with inverters/stabilizers/surge protectors). So now I am thinking about freeze drying them (or the girl) and whacking with a hammer to see what's useful inside. Anyway, I don't really understand what this is all about but I think I get the gist: it's good for us and bad for DRM - yea! Now let's see what Apple does to Final Cut Pro...then I can really get mad.
Nepal! The best law is none at all, for anything. Freedom and self-governance without a tax-sucking government to get in your way. Do what you want, as long as it hurts no one but yourself. If you screw up, you will be punished - by your peers. Namaste.
Exactly. Thousands of more eyes on a Scion that would have never seen it before, and all for free. Same goes for Cydia. A win for everyone (selling crap). I've got a jailbroken phone, and wall or no wall, everyone wants to sell me something. It's almost like phones are becoming the new advertising sections of the Sunday Papers of Olde...
Nostalgia...it was awful then, so why go back?

Nostalgia? Give me an IBM System/370 and then I would feel the love (http://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/mainframe/mainframe_PP3138.html). I recall getting a Commodore for the kids, so they could play games. Maybe I'm just too old to appreciate this one...pass.
I have set my home page to http://www.google.com/ig and have the NYT home page widget installed, and since the paywall went up I have read at least 70+ articles / slideshows / etc. since, and have not once seen a request for payment. I am using FF4 with Https-everywhere set to run the NYT pages that way. Could any of the above be a reason for the "loophole"? Cheers!

There is a donkey in the last frame of that video, yet the pseudo scientist intellectual points to horse shit. I want to know why.

Exactly, or even upgrading and not using, like I am. It does seem that FCPX is work in progress, but that is no reason to freak out.
Oh, like Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, etc. But you have a point with I.G. Farbenindustrie AG.
What a load of pop(sic)le psychology. Tim Adams is a beagle for those who want to ban anonymity for all of us.

I get a choice when I log in: not now, skip, or upgrade - just like every other app I have. Not a problem here...
PHP. What else do you need? But any CMS will do. Coding individual HTML pages in Dreamweaver of anything else seems pretty much "olden days" to me.

....and it helps cure a bad case of the lobstermonstrosities!
Face to Face? Dead as a doornail. "The world has moved on..."

It would of course be branded the DeathStar.

Smokes in Nepal, India, and China cost less then $2 per pack...far less.
