Tariffs are not likely to reduce pollution, they may have some benefits for local business but I doubt it will be beneficial enough for the consumer to benefit.
I live in the mid-west I can tell you now that although I don't own a gun, most of the people I know do own a gun or three and it has nothing to do with how big their reproductive organs are they are hunters. Most of them have gun safes if they don't then they have gun locks, and they don't keep them for self defense. If you are being robbed by the time you get a shotgun out of the safe and load it you would have been better off going for a kitchen knife or baseball bat if you have one handy.
Speaking as someone who doesn't own a gun, I think the second amendment is fine just they way it is.
I wasn't the smallest guy in my class but I was skinny and shorter than most so through out elementary school I got picked on and bullied. It started changing in junior high when I joined the track team and started working on a farm each summer. My freshman year I came back from my second summer on the farm, I was taller, more muscular, and very tan. The guys that had picked on and bullied me quickly lost interest in me and my friends that they had also tortured in elementary school.
My two younger brothers had similar experiences being the little guy right up until they started high school except they had the advantage of being much closer in age and watched each others backs.

It's a small sample size if you said that they were all enterprise web applications I would expect that.Net and Java usage would be even higher.
Not to mention how upkeep on a flying vehicle would be paramount because a breakdown would be far more dangerous. Vehicles broke down on the side of the road would drop from the sky on whatever is below. You see them on the side of the road all the time each one could have been a horrible accident if they were 100ft in the air.
The flying car I've always thought sounded very cool but was far to impractical to actually use. {Not that wouldn't want one to play with but I don't live in a city}
I think there is already a kill switch... don't pay your bill or call up your cell provider and ask them to cancel it they can already stop service.
This conversation is about a IMEI that can't be changed and a list stolen IMEIs so nobody can use a stolen phone. Nobody is asking for a tiny explosive on the mainboard to toast the phone when it's stolen although I think that would be cool and dangerous.
I'm forced to wonder: would any of the posters tolerate having every spoken word recorded by The Boss throughout their shift? Even one of you?
The reason call centers came up was to show that people are recorded all the time and tolerate it.
Sales associates have a very different view of the call center environment because they are expected to sell. I've never worked in a call center position where I sold anything and I only did tech support, which is a different environment
Sure I have more than few horror stories about call centers but few of them are about management.
My boss already knows that I don't obsess over email during my off hours. If it's important enough to need my immediate attention like a major outage, they will call me. No law required a good employer wouldn't expect you to respond to email 24/7 anyway.
The thing that make call centers so terrible is mostly people...
If you are working in an inbound call center in tech support no one calls to say "you are awesome and everything works great." they call when they have a problem they can't fix on their own and they are frustrated and angry or you get people trying to game the system. This makes it a tough place to work even with the best management.
The police have to deal with those same people in person when they are robbed or whatever and even worse they have to deal with the people that committed those crimes. The police were I live if asked will tell you they love having their recording devices but then again they also have an on/off button they can use at their discretion and get to review it later when filling out reports.
I know boat loads about call centers my first tech related job was in a call center, help desk for dial-up and later dsl.
I was actually trying to say if it's important enough that you need to record the college kid helping you setup dial-up or dsl then a police officer is far more important and should definitely be recorded
would any of the posters tolerate having every spoken word recorded by The Boss throughout their shift? Even one of you?
Any of them that have worked a help desk line may already have had all their conversations recorded. We are talking about recording a police office while on duty not off duty while in the shower or getting their freak on. Police officers have guns and mace and sometimes they use them on people a recording let's us know if it was necessary. If they don't like it get a new profession.

I use the windows command prompt every day and have for a very long time but I do have a nice collection of vbscripts and third party tools that are intended to run from the prompt. I never use powershell and I work in a mostly windows environment I would say that those vbscripts and third party tools make it fairly close to powershell.
There is also the question of all the applications that just are not compatible or are just plain not supported on win8. This is why the place I work migrated to win7 instead of win8 we stall have critical applications that are not compatible or just plain not supported by the manufacture on win8.
If houses or clothes or refrigerators were produced like software...
They are... sometimes you get a shirt that falls apart or the color fades after 1 or 2 washes... color bleeds out of a brand new garment and all over the rest of the clothes on the first wash...
houses... anything that doesn't cause injury or can be considered an outside force/act of god is common that's why you have home owner's insurance.
refrigerator... the door seal is not 100% flush and requires frequent defrosting, uses 4 times the amount of power it shows on the energy star sticker. {This was the last refrigerator I bought and had it replaced under warranty before I had it two months}
Time was - if I wanted my computer to do anything, I could program it or go to a bunch computer shows and hope somebody already had what I wanted. {on a stack of floppy disks}
Today- there is an app for that, it's free and you can download it in under a minute. {on to your 32Gb sd card in your phone while you are just about anywhere}
I was going to say... didn't win98 have a similar issue. Make two log in attempts with a password and on the third leave the password field blank or something like that?

Natural medicine is often lumped in with alternative medicine and I was already familiar with the tree bark. Aren't many of the discoveries we make by accident, a shot in the dark, or educated guess that we then study, test, and eventually understand? We just have better technology and methods than alchemists or herbalist did. We learn from their success and their mistakes.
You would be correct in saying they are natural remedies or home remedies. I guess the point I was getting at is that if they are proven not to work they should be dismissed or studied further to understand how they do work if they show benefit but not dismissed out of hand. I choose two natural home remedies that I was already familiar with since they are usually lumped in with alternate medicine.
Then prove it. Show one piece of holistic/homeopathic medicine which does the equivalent of real medicine.
Willow bark used for minor aches and pains works this is where aspirin was discovered. Quinine came from the bark of another tree and was used to treat fevers and malaria. I am not aware of any studies that show these to be nothing more than a placebo they actually led to some of the real medicine you speak of.
I wouldn't wave my hand and say it's all BS you need to take these study them and if you are lucky you may just find something that can be refined and made more effective... like aspirin.

I had to look that up because we had a microwave when I was a kid in the 70s. 47 years ago nobody had microwaves

You missed win95 and a few others but...
I liked win95c w/usb support it made win98 look like crash prone bloat-ware which is sad considering how much better win98 was compared to winME

Tablets are fine at work.. My brother uses one... I imagine it's a lot easier to carry around and scan inventory than a laptop or desktop would be.
Can you help me carry the monitor I need to scan the stuff that just came in... get the 500ft drop cord.
