Sounds like a mugger walking up to you and asking you to voluntarily hand over your cash, or he'll be forced to shoot you. Just about any time someone is asking you to "voluntarily" do something, it's just a veiled threat.
We have employer issued phones at our workplace with unlimited plans. Making personal calls or sending texts during non-work hours does nothing to change the final bill, so we've been told to use them for our own personal use as well. We're required to have the phones & be "on call." Why would I want to pay for a second phone I don't need?
If you need a phone that isn't monitored by your employer, then it sounds like you do need a second phone.
Often I see people write the above, or refer to macros in programming as MACROS rather than macros, also they always refer to the canel case style as camelCase. It's a curious thing, because I don't see them putting the word "bold" in bold when they refer to bold text, etc. It's just odd because it's like the writer thinks that every mention of all caps must be in all caps, or every use of the word macro must itself be a macro or something.
My name cannot be represented in a 2D medium. It requires three dimensions, and some of the "words" must be made of specific atoms. Why doesn't your system allow me to enter my name? I've got the atoms right here. Your system sucks.
Clearly, RIAA should track these parolees - and fine them $ 150,000 for every time they remove a bracelet or run out of battery power.
The RIAA needs an incentive, so give the bracelets wireless internet and have them download music whenever the perolee goes somewhere restricted. He won't know what hit him.
Sorry to hear that. They mailed me my master's degree out of the blue, because apparently I'm going to be joining the university and earning it in the next decade. Haha, now I don't have to, suckers!
Something else they found, but wasn't mentioned in the article: a frozen, damaged wellhead at the bottom of the lake and a large plume of oil suspended in it. No ideas yet as to how that got there.
Why are you insulting me here, and what did you think I was trying to do? I'm suggesting that Spamhaus not make any claims about the list. There's really no need to be an asshole.
Fine, so Spamhaus publishes a list of IP addresses *wink* *wink*. What is the list? "Oh, just IP addresses. No claims made about them. Users can do what they like with this list." Where's the slander/libel there?
The RBLs aren't blocking your email/whatever; the admins who use said lists are. If the lists really are such a problem, then admins should stop using them. Apparently said admins consider using the list a greater cost-benefit than not using them, which comes with its own costs. Sure, it's frustrating, but so are other things people do that personally inconvenience me.
What a shitty precedent. I guess Google etc. will need to rename the spam folder to something like "folder", so that they can't be sued for filtering out stuff. "Your honor, our software didn't say these items were spam. In fact, it merely put them into a folder titled 'folder'. It's up to each user how to interpret what that title means."
Or you can raise these concerns and possibly have companies provide better privacy guarantees. But yeah, whining that you are forced to use them is silly (unless you are literally forced).
Yeah, I got one of those email surveys. I only had to pay $10 to find out whether I had been scammed in the last 12 months. Unfortunately, they replied back that I had, though they didn't give any details about when. I'm still trying to figure it out.
I think the planes are just hastening the inevitable, rather than causing something that wouldn't have happened, so the average isn't affected, just the instantaneous.
Also, electrical fields have no direct effect on magnetic material, you can completely vaporize the electronic of a computer in a lightning strike and a cleanroom service can install new circuit boards and recover most/all of the data off the drive. Now, heat the platters above the curie temperature, like in a fire, and you're screwed.
I'd think a direct lightning strike to anything would result in one hell of a magentic field.
And if the brick dies (gets bricked?) you don't have to send in the computer for repair, assuming you know it's the brick. For products with more standard power bricks, you can probably go to a local store to get a new one.
I know some people complain about them, but they make much more sense IMHO. Maybe we'll see more of them for the newer LED-backlit LCD monitors coming out. I know one of the newest LG models is like this. Makes the panel a lot thinner too.

What, are you suggesting they release all those extremely dangerous potheads? Imagine all the non-violent acts they'd unleash on the communities.

Yes, and so do their millions of customers.

Hey, sometimes I think too. What a coincidence.

OK, I should have said non-magnetic non-electronic, because an EMP-type event would wipe out flash memory as well.
Cue the Mac Tax complaints in 3...2...1...

I seriously wonder whether I should purchase a few crate-sized Farady cages in preparation, and ensure I have non-magnetic backups of everything.
He's the guy who pushes the program bank on the stack, right? There's no Ms. plk, though, so you have to use your pet, rtl.
I can't believe you're being so negative about such a high voter turnout.
Holy shit, that's my luggage combination. They stole it!
