when they stopped messing with the FBI and defense contractors and moved up to Mexican drug cartels.
And here I thought those two would be about on even ground in terms of power, ruthlessness, and lawlessness. But clearly the Zetas have the FBI beat on overall intimidation. Guess that's the difference between getting dumped in prison vs hung from an overpass?
Updates to the FBI operations manuals are already in progress.
Guess what, most companies that hire contractors through contracting firms pay about double. It works out about even because they don't have to pay benefits, and there is one boon to the company in doing so. They can terminate a contractor for no reason without having to fear a big lawsuit afterward. I've been on both sides of the arrangement at a fortune 500 firm, this is reality. The fact that the government is doing the exact same thing as private industry seems like a good thing to me.
Am I the only person who noticed they evaded pretty much every single question? Maybe they took the Jim Morrison approach and took a truckload of LSD before responding...
At least their music is better than their responses, on the other hand they'd probably make great politicians.
There are many reasons most stores do not allow customers to take photos. I predict most chains will be issuing memos to their stores reminding them of the policy against allowing photos.
peopleofwalmart.com is probably right at the top of the list.
I use the android browser. Mainly because when I hit sites with firefox I get the full version usually and with the android browser I get the slimmed down "mobile" version. Wish it wasn't the case, though.
It's only possible today because of the current state of the Web. A web locked-down by Microsoft from 1994 up to today would have resulted in a locked-down network where only Microsoft products are allowed to access it, ActiveX everywhere, etc.
Heck, don't people remember those IE-only websites? That wasn't even a decade ago!
Just be glad that Netscape didn't sell out.
A decade ago? How about an hour ago while I was in the office..... IE only websites are definitely NOT a thing of the past yet.
Because the carriers see you as a bag full of nickels with feet. Their object
ive is to tie your feet together and empty you out (if necessary, one nickel at a time). Beyond that, they don't care (even in a distant theoretical way) if you live or die, much less how happy you are.
Ahh so basically they operate like every other publicly traded business on the planet, right?
Nokia was a big player in the US about 10 years ago, but they didn't advance like their competitors so they have pretty much been forgotten. They tried to advance with meego to advance I guess, but I don't think I've ever even seen an actual meego phone outside of internet videos.
I've got my doubts about them placing their eggs in the WinMO basket. I've had a number of wince/windows mobile phones. The MS phone OS was fine back in the CE days when they were pretty much the best you could get for smartphones, but these days Winmo is behind the curve and carries with it a name that doesn't instill feelings of trust in most people's minds (Microsoft).
I'm no industry expert, but imho this product can't be as successful as Nokia needs it to be.
A video of Steve Jobs. Why, it must have been two and a half minutes since I last saw one.
You're fortunate if it's been that long. Based on the fact that we're still hearing about Michael "pedobear" jackson, I'm guessing we've got a long road ahead of us while we continue to hear about Steve Jobs.
Yes they are. Smartphones still are and will be unlimited for the foreseeable future. They never advertised unlimited for the USB modems. Stop trolling.
What part of Limited to 3GB, 5GB or 10GB confused you? Limited plan is limited.
Where's the irony? Remember the VCRs that no ordinary people could work out how to set the timer. The cheaper, the more obscure and confusing the operation. The higher the intelligence needed to work out how to do it.
Hard to use is a typical quality of cheap, not expensive.
The irony is in the fact that a PHD is one of the more expensive things money can buy.
Interesting. I know a lot of employees where I work (aerospace engineering) that are classified as contractors, and indeed are sent there via a contracting agency (that they display on the employee badge), and yet they work there full time, for pretty long (indefinite) periods. And they're exempt from all the politically correct training that directs have to go through.
Seems it's quite easy to count someone as a contractor.
They are employees of a contracting agency rather than the aerospace firm. The agency pays the taxes/benefits where necessary, and the agency's employees aren't bound by the same rules that the aerospace firms' are.

I've never understood why we are so damn eager to extract more substances from the Earth, while....
I'll break it down for you: Money.
For money.
Next!
Definitely, but you need to say it in the "Mr. Krabs" voice.

Guessing he's a vegan with an agenda. Probably make a good study case for a paper on meatless diets increasing bad decision making.
I mean really, they already made the huge mistake of giving up tasty animal flesh, someone should study what other bad decisions vegans make.
Hey, let them eat grass and hug trees. We don't want to cause a meat shortage, do we?

Coffine is one of the most addicted substances known to man.
Cool, where can I get it? Caffeine is so twentieth century anyway. And tobacco is nasty stuff.
Any side effects we should know about?
It turns your semen bright blue, but has not been proven to result in birth defects.

Honestly, unless I see it spelled out in the title or whatever... whenever I see "C&C" I simply think of the ol' Command & Conquer game.
I always think of the old school hippity hoppity band "C&C Music Factory".

1. Chrome trend is at a whooping 20% http://thenextweb.com/google/2011/07/01/google-chrome-has-20-market-share-firefox-in-its-sights/ 2. I have yet to see safari on a tablet, name one that ain't an ipad 3. Nobody uses the Android browser LOL, firefox or [there's one more good one somewhere] are the popular choices.
If MS bought Netscape, I think this might have gone different... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft

I heard you like rumors so I made a rumor of your rumor so you can spread rumors while you spread rumors.
And having working at a startup, do you know what is the next step? You are correct, outsourcing to China.
Come on, not all go to China.
You forgot India.
I had a similar dream, except in mine I was just a user of said device.

D link sells a number of dual band dual radio ap's for under $100. Pretty sure they are not the only ones.
Yes they are. Smartphones still are and will be unlimited for the foreseeable future. They never advertised unlimited for the USB modems. Stop trolling.
What part of Limited to 3GB, 5GB or 10GB confused you? Limited plan is limited.
You beat me to it. It's not like 16GB is really asking that much for a dev workstation. I've got 24GB in mine currently.
That is a complete line of BS. "There are people who don't seek out child porn who would if it were legal".
Here is the main question, why should we care what gets people off as long as they aren't hurting anyone?
Definitely take down the websites that make money from the content. Beyond that it becomes a pointless witch hunt which doesn't accomplish anything.
Yeah that would be a good argument except that the child porn does hurt the children....
I mean isn't anonymous pretty widely recognized as being associated with the child porn website 4chan?
