I don't care how you record shit. If it's shit, the best you are going to get is shit. There hasn't been any decent sounds in at least a decade. Sure, there are a few exceptions here and there, but they prove the rule...
I have a 7 and 10 inch tablets. Both are Androids and both have the Kindle and Nook apps on them. I buy different books for different reasons for the two platforms. There seem to be fewer and fewer Kindles and Nooks in the wild. Most people doing what I am doing and reading on mobile devices. I actually lent a Nook eBook to a colleague at work. However, according to the pundits, eBook sales are 'faltering'. I just Googled "ebook sales 2013".
Right? Like Nuclear Power Plant Operators. There were, in the beginning, considered highly skilled labor in a dangerous environment. Then it became something a monkey could do, followed by... Chernobyl.
From my perspective, too many contractors code to get something to work and then move on. You can't maintain or upgrade their crap. At least with an employee, you can make sure they know they will have to fix or explain their crap.
Crap. What difference does it make. It all sucks.
I need more coffee. I hear there are animals that poop coffee.
Actually, I've never seen a noteworthy slide in a business meeting.
Besides, in my 20+ years in the business world, they've always distributed these type of documents before, during or after the meeting in paper or electronic form Or they said, these are too confidential and picture taking would also also be a no-no.
In my comment, I neglected to explicitly mention the seriousness of the meeting. Whatever you used to do, you don't do it during this meeting. Full attention on the CEO. No silly pictures for the website.
3.) was there a stated rule against taking pictures? If not, you're firing someone for breaking a rule that wasn't stated? If so, is firing the man really the example you want to set for a first offense, instead of requiring that the image be deleted?
There needs to be a rule about not taking pictures during a meeting lead by the head of the company? You're kidding, right? Sadly, I think you're serious. If you can't give your boss your undivided attention during an important meeting, pretend. Otherwise, you should be sacked.
All I can say is that when I am in the car with someone talking on the phone while they are driving, they are absolutely distracted. And it is a lot more than when they talk to someone else in the car. I don't know why this is so, just that I've noticed a tendency for them to drift in the lane, slow down or speed up or not take curves as crisply. It may be that it is harder to talk to a disembodied voice than it is to talk to someone that is next to you. All the non-verbal ques are missing.
Still, I feel sorry for small businesses today -- are there any restaurants whose online listings aren't choking with "gross" and "I'll never go there again!"
I use Yelp extensively and leave both favorable and unfavorable reviews for a variety of things and find the site to be quite helpful to find what is good and what to stay the heck away from. You can tell who has an axe to grind by looking at their other reviews.
In NYC, the Health Department has a letter system for restaurants. The restaurant must post it prominently. I find it amusing that the restaurants that object the most strongly are also the ones that get poor reviews on Yelp. Like "Gross" and "I'll never go the again." Its all very self-equalizing; one bad review amongst a sea of good ones gets ignored as does the good review for a place with mostly good reviews.
Slashdot Mirror
The latest trend is towards sending a message to your mobile phone with an account creation code.
Why do you ask...?
So? I have access to a number of Pre-Paid phones.
They still have people living in mold-infested trailers in New Orleans.
Or the Monkees, Donovan and Bobby Sherman.
Also, remember when Phil Spector was going to ruin the entire music industry with his Wall Of Sound crap.
My friend, you are already in prison. As are we all. We just don't know it.
Please, can't someone develop AI managers, politicians and lawyers?
I, for one, would welcome our robotic overlords. If they just got rid of those first.
We would not accuse a 10 year old of being "sexist" because he repeats dumb sex jokes to his friends
Yeah, we would. It is sexism. And we are supposed to teach the immature, regardless of age, that they are being sexist and is wrong.
So, kid, what was this joke you heard?
Knowing what you are talking about is important
Since when? Certainly not on slashdot.

Off with your head!
Don't confuse people with facts. This is slashdot.
When Global Cooling seems imminent, they will determine that coffee reduces the incidences of heart attacks, cancer and stupid posts on Slashdot.
and the U-2 delivery program itself was actually done under budget, a rarity for secret government programs then or now."
All of this stuff is obfuscated.
He's suffering from no such thing. He just wants the lightest sentence he can get. Can you blame him?
Didn't we learn anything in school? The taunting? The wedgies? The snapped slide rule?
Oh, I am sorry about all that. I don't do those things any more.
OTOH, I don't do them any less.
The OP said he/she is worried about standing out.
Ha!
What a blowhard. A tool. A shameless self-promoter.
Oh, and so right about Apple.
God, I almost choked on that. Larry being right? About anything?

It wasn't in the 70's. It was in the 60's.

Perhaps as an exercise in pain? Any word processor will do.
