and show the user exactly what each group can see, and offer options to enable/disable each type of item, under each group.
So I could click on "Everyone" and be able to notice that I am currently allowing them to look at my porn, and then disable that.
That way, on the "Everyone" screen, it is blatantly obvious, in one place, what you are sharing with everyone. There could even be a nice button labeled "block everything", or whatever.
Anyway, my point is that arranging things by access group seems like it would be a lot clearer than arbitrarily sorting them into sort of relatively associated groups of functionality.
A fun way to look at it is that regulation created the monster that drilled the hole.
It's absolutely insane that people talk about freeing massive limited liability capital structures from government regulation. They owe their existence to government.
And I don't mean that as some sort of blanket anti-corporate screed, I just think that if government is going to relieve investors of liability, it needs to make sure that it is also simultaneously protecting the commons.
As for the rest of it, you are setting an awful high bar for 'understand'. Knowing the payment schedule for a mortgage is a big piece of that, knowing the expenses you will face if the bank forecloses is less important. And so on.
Apparently 'test well' is the wrong description (this is me being sloppy, I have seen such language in other forums and didn't verify it), but they were in the process of capping it off so that they could move the rig:
The cause of the explosion is not yet known, although Transocean executive Adrian Rose said production casing was being run and cemented at the time. The well had been drilled to a depth of 18,000 feet.
Once the cementing was done, it was due to be tested for integrity and a cement plug set to abandon the well for later completion as a subsea producer.
I think as much as anything, I said "They were trying their hardest to stop drilling" in reference to them wanting to move their expensive machine and you read it as a reference to them being concerned about the integrity of the undersea structure (which I did not mean to imply, but they would have had to do the "production casing was being run and cemented at the time" stuff in order to shut down the well, regardless of the reason behind the shut down, which is what I meant.).
They likely started work on the relief well (which is intended to cap it off) when it became clear that the blow out preventer had failed, a day or two after the explosion.
None of their other attempts have hindered that process, it just takes time to do it.
How does running keyboard centric applications on a bodged-together low resolution stylus-based display indict using a full OS on a finger based tablet with touch-aware applications?
The past decade is only worth so much, there has not been a slim, finger-friendly tablet computer that runs Windows, at those at least seem like they might be decent differentiators for the form factor.
Well, on the page you link they call themselves an oilfield services provider (the leading!), and even if they didn't, in the context of them providing services on a drilling platform, it isn't real terrible to refer to them as a oilfield service company.
I'm just reading "The Great Influenza" by John M. Barry. About 1/3 of the way through, a great read so far.
I went back and checked, to make sure I wasn't misleading you terribly, it turns out that the figure given in the book is that 99% of the viruses are not viable, not 80% (but 100,000 to 1 million individual viruses are released for each cell that is infected).
Another significant factor is that survivors usually have significant immunity, even to later, mutated strains.

It would make more sense to me to start with
Everyone
Friends of Friends
Only Friends

You can buy a car on a handshake.

The banned words are based on relatively recent social mores, not the meaning and origin. That is not particularly inconsistent.
I'm curious, when did women's rights peak?

Um, they were in the process of capping off the well when it erupted. They were trying their hardest to stop drilling.
(This was a test well, they were going to come back later and set up production.)
Then all they have to do is maneuver 15,000 tons with better than 1 foot precision at the end of a 1 mile cable.
Windows CE? Real operating system?

This is why the future of tablets is a limited OS with finger touch as the main input.
Limited and specialized have pretty different implications.

Those people are going to be somewhat less likely to be making pronouncements about Novell.
If you are using a Linux system, you are probably touching them with your kernel.
Not when it is sitting on the ground.

Sure you are more protected, you are protected from the hundreds of patents listed in the h.264 pool.

The opening of the article:
BP hired a top oilfield service company to test the strength of cement linings on the Deepwater Horizon's well
That doesn't seem like faint praise or an inaccurate description of what they do.
The whole perspective and simultaneity thing really sucks for photons.
Who knows. I bet there were a considerable number of people that think of themselves as right of center that did exactly the same thing.
So you readily admit that the moderate vote is very important but reserve your labels for radicals?
