Those workers carried alot of instituional knowledge
Wait for it.....
As the work force grays, and more and more people retire, the amount of corporate knowledge lost will be staggering. What businesses need to do it get these people to DOCUMENT what and how they do things.
Of course they never will, as it reduces their own perceived value.
This might not be bad, as old ways of doing things are replaced by newer, more streamlined methods, but still....
I will try to drink some superJava to viewthis in an objective light. It is a far reach to sort the pearls from the fluff when catching an array of rocks.
For shall we continuethis, or break it off, unless you want to loop this conversation for a while?
What the advertisers assume is that the site that I am visiting has such an appeal to me, that I will put up with the pop-ups etc to be able to view it.
Bzzzt. Wrong!
If a site goes to that much trouble to circumvent my blockers, well, I just don't visit it anymore.
Problem solved! Well for me anyway:-))
Oh yes, I alwyas use the feedbak/comments page to TELL the site operators that they have lost my eyeballs.
If enough people would just stop visiting these sites.....
All I am trying to say, is that the information IS present on the user's computer. And if the login form fields are at all obvious, then the huge amount of data that needs to be sifted through can be automated. Heck, just the page name and URL parms should be enough, unless the login page name is also non-obvious.
Mozilla uses this to save ui/pw for login pages. Where the fields are named some combination of ui/userid and pass/password, then it asks you if you want to store the values.
On sites where the field names are 'a' and 'b', Mozilla does not pop up the request.
ALL my Web page forms use generated field names. Then I use defines, public static final, public const, or whatever to reference the field names in the application code.
This has the side benefit of allowing the compiler to make sure I am using the right field name, rather than a typo within a string.
When was the last time someone looking at the weather forecast on their phone bothered you?
[beep][beep][beep][beep]...pause...[beep][beep]
In other words, the key press beeps.
Yes, ok, I did know what you were getting at, but there are sounds associated with computing devices and cell phones, and those people WILL use them in "quiet" places.
That would be the Royal Bank of Canada. The Bank of Canada is a totally separate entity and is in fact run by the government to manage the money supply and interest rates.
the mobile phone seems to be a prime unintrusive platform
Then you have never had the pleasure of being in a restaurant, theater, or other public place, while some idiot yammers at the top of their voice into a cell phone.
I'm all for jumping on window's faults, but assuming that windows uses more energy because it is not "clean" is wrong and biased.
Way back when, I had a machine loaded with Windows and OS/2. When OS/2 was running, the machine ran noticibly cooler than when Windows was running. Yes, the same basic set of software was running on both. Other people noticed this too and did some deeper analysis. The consensus was that the Windows thread scheduler used more CPU time than the OS/2 scheduler. More CPU usage, hotter CPU, more electricity used.

They manually set content of memory chips through arrays of switches
Ah yes, paddle switches.
I used to work on a machine where you needed to load the boot-strap manually into RAM, one hex code at a time.
THEN, the machine could find the rest of the boot code, load from tape, then load from disk (a whopping 5 MBytes).
What does this mean for Pr0n?
MEGA -> LARGE
So in the p0rn industry you want more MEGA.
Ooohh, yes, baby.....
Megapixels are important when it comes time to print.
I am about to get a Nikon D70 (to fit my Nikon FE lenses). I will also be getting a colour printer.
Since you have obviously played around with this stuff, what is your take on printers?
Hot Damn!
Hey, can you send me an email about this?
And you can also do flash fill that way (over a large area). Takes two people though.....
One holds the hat. The other the flash.
Remove hat, take flash.
Move 10 feet down. Remove hat, take flash.
Repeat as required.
I'd like to jury-rig something
Set the timer to 1 sec, press the button, and the camera has 1 sec to "steady".
I bow to your superior use of language elements :-))

I can double that sentiment in an intimate way, but only if you string me along....
No. I go to the feedback page which is usually a Web form. In goes a bogus return address.
Where the feedback starts my email program (mailto:), well, I just ignore that.

There are alternatives on the Internet.

Yes.
But since the spy s/w is running anyway, how hard is it to scrape the screen and IE temp files?
Or to hook into the IP stack?
Passwords are probably untrackable. Way too much data.

Remember, this is at the source, so before the SSL takes effect.
yes it would work if you can predict those other random ports
Just use a random number generator.
Oh wait.....

It's makes you wonder what "money" really is,
Money is a concept built on mutual trust. I trust that the money you give me will be honored at its face value in another place.
Be it dollars, euros, gold, or matchsticks.
Money, as such, is meaningless without that trust.
Bank of Canada
That would be the Royal Bank of Canada. The Bank of Canada is a totally separate entity and is in fact run by the government to manage the money supply and interest rates.
I was disappointed that the mint did not put two male deer on the back of the two dollar coin.....

Let the smart and rich rule the world, not an idiot who couldn't do his own taxes if he tried.
A rich popular idiot. In most countries.
Which is why there are cliques in school. The idiot popular kids get together, put down the maverick smart kids, and the world goes around again....
And half way through, the other players can call the cards as they are dealt.
Data correclty states "This is highly improbable" whereas a human would have said "That's impossible!".
Sort of stuck in my mind...
