Of course. I ride a moped, it is perfect for inspecting driver behaviour because I can zip inbetween lanes and get close up to everything everyone is doing. It would be a perfect vehicle for such a job, but somehow it doesn't fit in with the tough guy bully boy image that cops seem to love.
How is any of this new?
These days you merely get scorned in public, back in the day you simply disappeared never to be seen again. I'd say things are improving.
If we tried to make it the means, corporations would just find loopholes. First they'd hire outside contractors to mop the floors. Then they'd form companies to provide the service of executive management. "The lowest-paid employee at our company makes $1 million, so I can make $20 million!"
That sounds ok on the surface, but what would then happen is the service companies realise they wield some power, so start upping the charges to the parent company for basic services. What used to cost the parent $5/hour is now being charged out at $20/hour (even if the worker bees still only sees $5). The CEO is then under pressure to explain the rising cost of business. You then have two scenarios, companies that comply with the principle and raise the minimum wage, or greedy fat cats who persist with an ever expensive outsource model, which effectively redistributes wealth anyway, even if it is to the middle classes service companies rather the lower class worker bees. Both scenarios are an improvement over what we have now.
There's more to it than that. Gold is shiney, and shiney stuff will continue to hold value even after hundreds of years because future humans will also like shiney and want to own some. The same can't be said for a bunch of 1's and 0's.
Really? Your definition of ruling class must be different from mine. Everyone I know qualifies as ruling class under your standards. If International travel and some religious education are all it takes then that includes pretty much most of the western world.
I agree. I don't know German either, but you watch his speeches and suddenly want to join in whatever it is he is talking about. You have to wonder if anyone with that capability has ever been on the good guys team? Churchill was inspirational but not in the same fuck yeah way as Hitler.
PS Just for the record I abhor everything the Nazis stood for and in no way condone that, this is merely a comment on Hitler's motivational public speaking skills.
I'll go one further and say Exchange/Outlook is better than anything other app in it's class.
I always hear people bashing Exchange/Outlook in here, but I never hear anyone say product x does it better. For Enterprise Email/Contacts/Tasks/Calendar/Collaboration the closest product is Lotus Notes and that truly sucks arse. So before you label me a shill, I'd like to hear about your replacement candidate. I have no connection to MS, I've just been down that path of finding competition and found nothing but donkeys (in this space).
Of course, everyone who disagree with you is a shill. Your argument is religious fundamentalism. No facts, just opinion and accusations of opposing points of view. Keep telling yourself that Linux on the desktop is almost there. Jesus loves you.
Side note: Your "friend" is lucky - if the cops had wanted to, they could have claimed the person who stole it was wanted on drug charges. That would have allowed them to impound the car, shred the interior, and charge your "friend" for storage and labor.
Solar accounts for 0.17% of our electric production in this country, tripling it won't make any difference.
What if you triple it again? Then triple it again? And then again?
The numbers are not on solar's side. Electric production from fossil fuels is up more than 30% in the past 20 years,
And what happens when you compound your tripling of 0.17% over 20 years?
Solar isn't going away, and it's growing, so at some point in the future it will reach a critical mass. Any pro-industry political party would be foolish to ignore these facts.
almost nobody runs their own in-house mail anymore.
My experience is different from yours. I work for an IT service consultancy and we're trying to push a lot of customers to cloud based email but they're all sticking to their guns. No-one around here likes the cloud for key business functions, and the NSA press is keeping them firmly entrenched in their views.
For most companies (less than 1000 users) Exchange is trivial to setup and maintain, and can be supported part-time or by outsourced support. Over 1000 users then you have a big enough IT team to look after it properly.
Or automatically routed through any proxy the supplier chooses right? I mean how would you know if this doesn't just send all traffic to a pseudo TOR network setup by the NSA which captures everything you do?
"we hear of online activism that involves anonymous or cyberterrorist hackers " Do we? The activism I hear of mostly is people on Facebook trying to get sympathy for a certain cause only to be followed by a few supporting comments then promptly forgotten about. It's why the term slacktivism was coined. Millions of people all happy to be angry in front of a keyboard but too lazy to do more than think bad thoughts.
I never lock my doors and never lock my car either. A friend of mine used to leave his keys in his ignition and his car has only been stolen once, and then recovered later the same day up the road undamaged. Don't let fear rule your life, I've never met a crim that ever got deterred by a locked door.
Yeah where I work we are all expected to know English. There's an ugly French guy in corner who has no friends and he says French is actually a more expressive language, and that if everyone learned to speak French the company would be better off. So a a handful of people did take French lessons, yet most people still speak English. I just don't get it.
Can you name any of these so called well-run governments? I've worked for a couple of different govts and know people who've worked for a couple more and the story is the same across the board.
Sounds like the problem exists between keyboard and chair.
Not one piece of objective criticism in your post, just a fanboy rant about how you couldn't figure it out even though tens of thousands of others seem to having it working just fine. Exchange is the best of breed product in it's class, and most people with half a brain seem to get to work better than you. How you got modded +5 is beyond me. Oh that's right, this is Slashdot, incoherent MS bashing is standard fare here...

You dont have many suicidal friends on facebook do you?
I did in the first year, but that problem solved itself...

Cool story bro, meanwhile back in the real world most people still use Windows or Mac, then go outside occasionally...

Because a locked door is a well known deterrent to car thieves right?
That problem is religious, not technical.

Further proving my point.
Not in my country they can't. Sucks to be you eh?

Out of touch with what? You and your mum's basement? When you grow up and get a job you just might realise how stupid you once were...

Tony Abbott (Aussie PM) is the Australian George W Bush, so standby for 3 more years of of fratboy level leadership.
Thanks for clearing that up.
That is the funniest thing I've read all week...
