"Evidence" is anything that supports a premise. An IP address or profile is "evidence" as is an eye witness and DNA evidence.
Yes and no. You've listed 3 types of evidence with varying degree's of accuracy.
DNA is the most accurate, with dependencies mostly occurring in attempts to tell twins apart from one another.
An eye witness is good but the memory of an event starts to deteriorate over time and even initial accounts can vary from witness to witness.
IP address evidence is the least accurate. I can't disguise my DNA and if someone sees me steal a car they will at least be able to identify me as a Caucasian male. An IP address just tracks the culperate to the residence, it doesn't not account for people cracking WEPs and accessing networks that are not theirs or friends you may have given access to your network. Both of these examples don't track down the actual culprit. Just a residence.
This sounds like it requires further testing. The setup: 5 identical cans, 4 shaken, one left unshaken as a control. Both the control and one shaken can are to be opened normally. The remaining 3 are to be opened as follows: Top tapping normal open, Side tapping normal open, and just a slow open method. Document results and we should find a conclusive answer to this problematic conundrum.
The other big unresolved sticking point has been attachment to specific software. In the case above, she has used some ancient version of "print master gold" for a while and would very much like to continue doing so. It's this kind of thing that we tend to shrug off that keeps people from switching
Couldn't agree more. I had a friend who brought me his laptop... The OS drive was shot and the XP CD key was gone. So I replaced the drive and installed mint. His first complaint was not having office so i recommended wine. He came back 3 months later saying it was running slow. His solution to the Office problem was to install a cracked copy of XP in Virtual Box.
Moral of the story: Software makes the average user HATE change.
Friendly competition in the workplace: Good. If done right it leads to better morale and an overall better work environment.
I've been on the other side of this competition fence in the work place. It's not cool. I had a manager, and I'm still trying to figure out if he did the following intentionally or if he was a moron. He hired 4 IT temps and told us all he only had two permanent positions.
Now, I'm not a cut throaty back stabbing type so of course I got singled out. One day I came into work to find my manager waiting at my desk to go over the work I did yesterday. Apparently someone had come along and sabotaged all my work. Needless to say he didn't believe me when I said it wasn't me and 2 weeks later with continued sabotage and I was gone.
Tuna... Although we don't own a boat, and chartering a boat for tuna fishing is actually rather expensive. I think we're just going to go to a pool hall and play some billiards. It's cheaper.
Long story short (too late), people like to focus on the little things and blow them out of proportion while completely ignoring the larger issues or ignoring the fact that the majority of people get along just fine.
This also caries over into music. I've found that when depressed, depressing music actually makes me feel better, which, according to friends and coworkers, is counter intuitive. Apparently they listen to upbeat music when they're down. What's up with that?
Then how does a will work? Or are those not actually legally binding?
there's limitations what a will can stipulate... in most countries what's done with the body is more like a wish than a legally enforceable demand.
There goes my funeral plans. I was gonna use my money to pay for an awesome rock concert in the cemetery with what ever big name bands are currently still performing (doubt kiss will still be around). It was gonna have fireworks and smoke machines and a laser light show. At the end of the last song of the last band on stage, I wanted my corpse to be launched out of a cannon into an open pit, which a backhoe would promptly fill in. It would have been great.
dick move. Modern tech has solved that problem as well.... mount a web cam on your laptop facing away from you.... make sure you have a good view of the whiteboard. Record video and audio. Problem double solved.

How about a nice game of chess?

> We need janitors as much as we need CEOs I don't agree. We need janitors way more.
If only I had mod points for your statement sir. +1 TooTrue
So, like some kind of resonance cascade, then?
If that were the case, then it would be easily fixed the reversing the tachyon flow.
I never thought I'd see a resonance cascade, let alone create one.

What makes you assume I didn't? He tried it for a day and gave up cause it wasn't MS office.

I just read the comments to try and find a Jurassic Park reference.... This comment will do nicely. Thank you.

Read that and decided your post was TL so I DR

See, you'd think that, but then look at some of the fire arm stats: http://www.factcheck.org/2012/12/gun-rhetoric-vs-gun-facts/
Basicly it shows that firearm sales went up and the number of firearm related murders, assaults and robberies went down.
Then look at the number of deaths in other categories such as drunk driving or just driving in general: http://danieljmitchell.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/causes-of-death-cartoon.jpg

Register your name as Seymour Butz.
one MUST commute 45 minutes one way, work a ten hour day, commute another 45 minutes
No, just no.
Or you value your life very little.
If I had points i would mod you up. I completely agree. What is the point of making lots of money if you are left with no time to enjoy it?
I could be reading this wrong, but it looks like life expectancy is trending upwards since the 50's. http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0005148.html
I was trying to picture biking in a heated pool, and gave up . . .

Boy, that escalated quickly.

Prime example of someone who was using a computer take notes when they were supposed to learning about THAN and THEN. Good catch.
...to record the audio from the lesson while you play farmville or whatever hell kids play these days. Problem solved.
Great name for a crap OS X wanna be though... you make jokes for days, especially about exiling it to the moon.
