OSX sandboxed apps cannot look outside of their own directories. However, when the user chooses a file via the "Open" dialog, the application is given a handle that allows it to open just that particular file. Sandboxing really is the solution to this kind of mess...
Every (high-tech) employer that I've ever worked for has allowed a cash alternative -- but only if you could prove that you had other insurance through your spouse. And the amount that they paid out was less than what they would pay for the insurance, but it wasn't a trivial amount...

I am offended that some operating systems have hijacked ascii characters to use for meta functionality
That is one of the very nice things about MacOS X -- since it uses the Command (clover) key for menu shortcuts, that leaves the Control key sequences available for emacs-style editing commands, which work almost everywhere.
Under Linux, I'm never sure whether Control-F will move forward, or bring up the "Search" dialog...
Real programmers didn't have editors. If we wanted to change a line in an Applesoft Basic program we either had to type it over or 'List' the line press ESC and up arrow to the line.
The latter of which is, of course, an editor...
Though, unless you first wet your screen width to 33 characters (poke 33,33, IIRC), any edited wrapped lines would include the seven extra characters that the system added in order to pretty-print the source.
Only problem is that the overhead bins on the few last rows are often filled with crew's stuff, PA system boxes, firefigthing equipment, portable oxygen containers and a ton of other stuff. So you might end up putting it under the seat in front of you (which sucks if you're tall).
But, being the first on the plane, you can put your stuff pretty much anywhere...
The "known issue" is that it turns on the camera every three hours! (AppOps showed that; wonder any google is trying to get rid of AppOps...) No idea of why Skype thinks it needs the camera every three hours, but it can't be good.
This was was causing the camera daemon to spin and not allow the phone to sleep, resulting in only a few hours of battery life.
Seems likely that the intelligent women have started to decide to go into law and other fields instead. The way that engineering is going, that probably makes them a lot more intelligent than I...
For the sake of peace, let me suggest a compromise:
I would base the "compulsion to serve" more on whether the service is creative or not.
I don't even understand why anyone would want to compel a photographer to photograph their wedding! It would seem very unlikely that the quality of work would be very good.
Doubly so for forcing someone to make a wedding cake for me; I wouldn't want to take a bite of that...
News Update: The police, in conjunction with several federal agencies, has determined the official cause of death to be a weather balloon. And swamp gas.
Counter to what many people on., think, there are many studies showing making things illegal has a real negative impact on usage.
Yes, but only if the perpetrators think that there is a high liklihood of getting caught. If the penalties are very high, but the liklihood of being caught is low, there is little deterrence...
And, in particular, programs could test to see whether the monkey was running, and if it was, disable potentially destructive functions, such as file overwriting, etc.
It looks like a really nice phone, i just wish it wasn't so large.
Exactly... Everyone keeps touting the "diversity" of Android phones. However, nearly every non-budget phone pretty much looks the same. I'd really like to buy an Android phone with the size, fit, and polish of an iPhone 5, but such a thing doesn't exist...
So, Plasmas are still better than LEDs? I still use CRTs.
I hate that they call them "LED TVs" -- they're simply LCD, with an LED backlighting. And, it turns out that LED backlighting often has a worse color gamut than the old CFL backlighting...
And, yes, plasma are quite visibly better than all but the very best (local dimming, etc.) LCDs...
What would the purpose of this be? They would just violate that amendment also.
That is the biggest problem with the Constitution -- if the branches of the government are allied, there is no way to punish anyone for violating its tenets.

The way that I look at it is that there is so much good news every day, that most isn't even worth reporting...
And I'm not even that much of an optimist!
Is that how you feel when you see a woman in real life?
Hypothetically, of course...
But, people will still then complain that it isn't "movie-like"...

Well, since the first thing that SWAT teams seem to do is to shoot the animals, that might be an effective tact...

And also that the direct-access touch interface is more effective at navigating those activities.
I still curse everytime I hit "Page Down" in Firefox, and nothing happens, because the focus is somehow not on the main page.
Direct-access is everything, and something that Apple gets right.
But then it will hover...
The dude was making a joke...
