Really sorry about causing all the frustration. I don't like to use my real email when signing up for garbage web sites. I really didn't think 1234asdf@gmail.com was used. Cool name though.
I'm so confused right now, but I’m going to just tell myself you are all bots, or that you have an extreme dissociative identity disorder and need to seek help! All three of you!
I just don't see what reasons they have being in the same location, maybe besides having a very open space to work with and build upon. I'm sure that sharing the same interests and having a good working background between Google and NASA have something to do with it, but I’m not convinced it's worth the new location. Sharing interests with another company is one thing, but I wouldn't go as far to invite them in and give access to things I might not want them to see. Although, I’m sure if Moffett Fields security measures are anything close to mine here (requiring 3 different security checks before given access to anything!), then there's really nothing to worry about, but I wonder if there is something else going on between the two companies as for the reasons of this placement.
Well, I would hope that certain buildings have a much higher security check than that, but even still, giving people free access to get close enough to certain buildings without a deterrent in the way is kind of foolish in my eyes. Especially, to get onto NASA and a military instillation.
I'm not aware of current NASA Ames Security protocols, as far as getting access to the area, but I could only speculate that not everyone is authorized access. So with Google now building on their land, would they have a separate control entry point? Or give access through NASA's entry point? I have a huge problem with people having access to places they shouldn't.
I'd agree, but it doesn't matter. A company has every right to replace people when it wants to. That's just the corporate world for you. It happens to people daily, but I’m sure that because Google is standing behind their decision, that people were doing something wrong.
Our investigation is complete, and revealed you are in fact boring and just overly paranoid. We would suggest getting out some time at a local Bar/Pub of your choosing. Please feel free to keep the tracking device on your vehicles, and use it should you become too intoxicated to find it.
Due to paranoia on your behalf, we believe you have something to hide, and are launching a team to fully investigate what you are hiding.

I don't believe in faith that much, but I look at facts and results. For me, when it comes to technology, faith is a waste of time. I'd much rather see what things can do, before believing in promises given. That's why I said I'd like to see personally what it can do, before I truly decide to knock it down.
Yes, once you purchase or install anything through Steam, obviously downloading it, it has to authenticate it through their servers. After this is done, you are able to play it in an offline mode for a time...which I believe is around a month, but after that it has to connect again to play.
I've had 2 games that came in disks for Steam, while on business, but they wouldn't even install till I was online and connected.
If you can stay connected, the cloud in this aspect isn't such a bad thing, but as soon as there are server issues or connection issues for a long time, you might as well play tic-tac-toe in paint!
I will say that Valve has implemented their use of the cloud very well (I for one use it) but in the beginning when it first came out, many users were very agitated that they HAD to be on the net regularly to use it. I still don't enjoy that fact either. Some of my business trips last for over 6 months, and I'm not always able to have internet. So Steam fails me at that point, when my offline time has run out and I have to connect in order to use it again. I wonder if the Chrome OS will be the same way?
I'm sure this would be a very beneficial OS for those that constantly feel the need to be online (some business types, stocks, and people that can't get off of facebook) but for the majority of the world, including myself, I simply don't see the need. I'm still very cautious as to systems built around the internet anyways (back when IE was first built into the OS and had many problems) but I’m sure things have changed greatly and maybe Google will get this right. I'd be interested to play around with it and see what it can really do, but I see no need to purchase one.
I can't find any place, and have read that it's not true that you are clinically insane after 72 hours of not sleeping, but I think that should change. Our brains were just not meant to function under those conditions.
How could you be so negative! THEY HAVE A NEW FRONT PAGE!!!
There's no way these guys are doing anything wrong! It has music stuff and TV stuff on there!!!
Seriously, and because we are out with X and now on to Y means that Z (ALL of you) will need to pay A ($$$) so you can have the same great crap you did before, but now it's got music stuff and more stuff!!!
Yep, I think I’m sold!!! I'm officially quitting the internet!
Microsoft makes Zune HD. I see no reason why it couldn't extend the brand to a Zune tablet.
This is probably the only thing from Microsoft that I really like and would promote to others from Microsoft. (Yes, I use windows, but only for gaming reasons) I've never heard/liked anything that goes along with ITunes or and IPod, and IMHO they got this product right. I've had mine for over two years, and had it in some very harsh weather conditions (140+ degrees), and still it works like it always has. Not like the rest of the guys I work with who have gone through almost 2 or 3 IPod's a piece! So they should expand on that market.
I think that their timing is incredibly too late in this game though. I'm sure that some of the innovations with X-Box Live onto the WP7 will make it a must for some people, but I'm not sure if those people would trade off their IPhone/Android for it. I believe IMHO that even if they got the phone right and made it a worthy competitor, that they are just too far behind the game to make a real comeback.
Everyone that I know is only talking about the IPhone or Android, and no one seems to even notice that WP7 is about to come out.
Funny enough I always remember as a child watching some of Gallaghers old skits and one in particular talking about the same topic...in reference to the words "good" and "food" and how they are pronounced. "Good" being pronounced [goo d] and "food" being [fu d]....so shouldn't it be [goo d] [foo d] or [gu d] [fu d]!
Always makes me laugh to think of how we can take something so natural (communication) and completely screw it all up!
Just write everything in code from now on, and I'm sure people (like me) will be too confused and dumbfounded to understand what you're saying, but then all the debuggers come out and flame it anyways, so I guess you're still screwed.
Funny enough that I'm from an English background and still don't understand spelling, but I do resort to spell check before every post so I don't get SLAMED by people telling me things wrong with my genetic code that I already know!
I agree with this (and many others from above about the same issue) that genetics play a HUGE role in defining a person’s brain and "wiring".
I come from a H.R. Manager and a Salesman...so unfortunately I have a great ability to read people and define them into work ethics, habits, and can use that to get desired results. What does this mean? Nothing really important, only that the abilities and traits held by my parents were passed on genetically to me, and as I have passed them on to my daughter. I see qualities of me and her mother surface daily.
I have even had instances of my father’s negative willpower come out of me for periods, so I would say that this could be passed on genetically as well. But I'm by no means any type of scientist or have any experience in this, but it's just what I've gathered.

Now where did I put all of my X-wifes info at.......I mean...uh...my info at!!!

*sigh* If only I could talk through circuitry!
SURE it isn't!!!
But don't worry...it's not my place to pass judgment, and I won't do that....
FREAK!!!!

You could always venture over to the IKEA store and find plenty of ugly crap there!
