This isn't all that bright, on either party's side.
From the retailer perspective, a client can *always* claim to have never received the reciept, and that their invoice was deleted in the computer. Mistakes do happen, and no retailer in their right frame of mind would think that they will *never* lose an invoice.
Many retailers calculate nightly sales, etc, but do NOT include customer names in their nightly book-keeping reports. Regardless of the reality, customers do not trust computers to never, ever lose data (a bit of tounge in cheek here). A store can lose invoices, and still balance their books.. but where are you if you didn't receive your invoice (and it slipped your mind that it was being emailed to you).. and you need to return the unit 3 weeks later.. or a year later.. and perhaps the store doesn't even exist any more!
From the customer side, I have to say.. are you nuts? Buying something, with no proof of purchase?! Heck, you could even have problems getting out of the mall!
1: Today's terrorism is different because attacks do not have political aims and are designed to cause mass casualties, with no warning, involving suicide bombers
Retired senior judge Gerald Butler states: "The mere fact a threat is "completely different" is, of itself, no justification for an extension in the detention laws. But it is true we face a new and terrifying threat in this country."
Not politically motivated?!
What on earth are these people talking about? Good gried, "GET OUT THE MIDDLE EAST, WEST!" sounds _very_ political to me! "STOP MESSING IN OUR AFFAIRS", sounds political to me!
These attacks are completely and totally politically motivated.
The militants in the Middle East, right or wrong, is ABSOLUTELY, COMPLETELY, and TOTALLY in the middle of a political struggle with the West.
What if the entire purpose of this, or one advantage, is misinformation.
For example, wants peaceful plane destroyed, with unfriendly person on it (unfriendly could be as simple as the non-ruling US political power, as complex as foreign national blocking plans of ruling caste of US). Pesky humans have emotions and feeling, and once they identify plane as peaceful, won't destroy it.
Feed misleading information via console, plane is destroyed. Humans think they have "done the right thing". No lashback if done repeatedly, especially if mistagged plane is destroyed over unrecoverable location.
Sure, holes all over the place, but an interesting possible use.
It sounds to me like the salaries might be a little low.
Teachers, from primary to university, should require a startling array of skills and experience. They should be paid well, very well. Principals need to have a higher income than teachers, and typically management type office workers make more than those on the front lines. 50k for a teacher is _cheap_, if you ask me, considering what we put in their hands.
The future.
Pay them well, may sure they have the education and skills that deserve that pay cheque, and perhaps extremely talented individuals will want to teach.
I've heard that some teachers in the US make sub 20k per year?! That's a crime. What sort of education and skill set does that sort of person have?!
I don't think there are any health problems with DST changes.. or at least, not for some people.
I tend to start waking up early/late about a week before DST changes. My body and mind are ready for it, as they have been used to DST changes since birth (heck, even in the womb).
Starting from birth, the entire household that I grew up in, would adjust accordingly every year!
If anything, getting rid of DST for me, would be just as disturbing to sleep as extending it.
"The problem is that it takes about eight uninterrupted minutes for the brains to get into a really creative state."
Hey, I won't disagree that it is very difficult to work with constant distraction. As a Programmer, a SysAdmin, sometimes you have to sit and _think_ about the big picture.
You must pause and consider.
However, the above quote shows quite aptly one of the major flaws with Western Medicine. It seems to think that all human beings are identical.
8 minutes? Clearly this is some sort of average, and an average likely deduced by dubious means. It could be 1 minute for some, 16 minutes for others.. and the type of creativity could make as much of a difference as the person involved!
Of course, let's just boil it all down into a neat figure, instead...
Are they going to have the same mentally retarded camera angles, shots and movements? Are they going to continue to annoy the hell out of me?
I _was_ watching, until one night I just got sick of all the camera bullshit, and turned it off. Episode 5 I think.
Unless this changes in series 2, I see no reason to watch.
Of course, as one other poster mentioned, the mentally retarded H20 episode was beyond understanding. When will sci-fi TV writers understand that sci-fi is not "soap opera, but in space"?
Whenever I see this sort of bullocks, I just turn the channel. It is one of the primary reasons I could not stand Enterprise.
I had a lot of respect for him. I used to see him as Peter Jackson, Cinematic Artist. Now I see him as Peter Jackson, Greedcock. The same thing has happened with many musicians. They become famous, and forget their artistic roots in favor of money. It is a sad day in the cinematic community.
What a load of garbage. He agreed to do the picture for $x. He was given $y. He wants his $x back.
Is it greedy, if I agree to work for someone for $50, and when I get paid $45 I complain?
IT IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT!
In the article, the lawyer for "the bastards", as I will call the studio, claims that he's already been given lots of money.
So? What has that got to do with anything? Nothing! The studio has also been given lots of money! I guess, by their logic, that all "copyright theft" is now legit? After all, they have already made lots of money...
Clearly, the present never is changed by mischievous time-travellers: people don't suddenly fade into the ether because a rerun of events has prevented their births - that much is obvious.
So either time travel is not possible, or something is actually acting to prevent any backward movement from changing the present.
So let me get this straight, BBC reporter. Your proof that time can't be changed, is simply that you don't remember it happening?
There are just so many flaws in that reasoning.;)
First, time changes could be happening everywhere, but perhaps you have not witnessed one. Wait! How about this? How about time changing, and altering your memory at the same time?
What's the matter with you? Do you believe that it is impossible for something to occur, without you being aware of it?
Is this a God complex?
What unmitigated self-importance, BBC reporter!
Now sure, I know this reporter was likely trying to parse some marlaky that they were told, but this has to be the worst use of logic I have seen.
DVORAK for real world, SysAdmin/Programming uses?
on
Advocating Dvorak
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
Someone should do a study of how fsck, dir, cd, ifconfig and other "stuff" works into dvorak.
These words often have none or few vowels.
One key line in the comic:
"Come on! How often do you type a semi-colon??? It's a wasted key! On the home row no less!"
Guess what;) I type a _lot_ of semi-colons. Bash scripting, PERL coding, you name it.
Honestly, it would be amusing to see how DVORAK stacks up, when programming and sysadmin tasks are taken into account. DVORAK could be a detrement in these cases...
At the time however, it wasn't a relatively small group of consumers, if one was referring to consumers that use computers.
People must put things in context. The Amiga started out with a very large percentage of marketshare. It was only in its end years that market share dwindled so, via incredible growth in _other_ market shares.
For a while, REXX was a very dominant programming language. Then again, so was TCL for a while, and so was BASIC.
It is like he does not even understand the reason that the RIAA is able to sue for thousands. The premise in court is (right or wrong) that the Music Industry is losing thousands per filesharer, for a specific reason. That is, each song available for download is being downloaded by thousands of people, and each of those downloads costs the RIAA membership the sale of a CD. Thousands of downloads * CD sale = mucho cash.
Again, this is the premise that would be followed in court.
Changing the price of a music from $CD_PRICE to $DOWNLOAD_YAHOO_PRICE simply means that someone making files available, would be liable for $DOWNLOAD_YAHOO_PRICE now. In other words, $num_of_users_downloading * $DOWNLOAD_YAHOO_PRICE.
How is this ruining the RIAA in court? It only reduces the amount of damages per COUNT of people downloading.. that's all....
Put another way, the RIAA is not suing because you did not buy music. It is not suing the people that downloaded music. It is suing the people that _shared_ music, and setting the price accordingly.
Again, right or wrong, that's what happening. It's almost like this guy thinks people are being sued for downloading. They aren't. If they were, the RIAA could only sue for what they had lost in revenue, and that would be the cost of the songs the sued downloaded.
No, they sue from a much bigger angle. They sue with the claim that file sharers have cost them thousands of CD sales...
Sorry guys, I don't buy it. I've heated fish tanks larger than that, with a small heater (you know the little fish tank kind).
The ram, the CPU, the power supply.. they put out a LOT of heat, especially when taxed. As well, this oil is more dense than water. It will take longer to heat up, but it will also _retain_ heat longer as well. Water gets a lot of its cooling because of evaporation, which won't be happening to this oil..
Again, I don't buy it. I've seen others use external cooling methods for the oil. I'm quite sure he's never taxed this system.. or perhaps night time "cool down" is enough to carry him through the day...
I still don't buy that though. He probably uses it for a server or some such, after all... it's not a game machine, with a PII class CPU..
I don't see any fans or other way the heat is dissipated into the air, from the oil.
I guess he uses it for an hour, then the oil becomes the same temp as the cpu.. and then shuts it off? Since he says that the forum isn't in english, I didn't bother to check.
However, nothing is visible in his pics...
I'd say that the only reason this hasn't gone *boom*, is because it looks like a PII or Celeron (Slot 1 card).. and he hasn't really pushed it for long periods of time.
I don't know what it is with some of these new networks. People, generally, want to watch a series.. every week at the same time, all the time, until the end of the series for the year.
I personally *hate* sitting down, only to find out that it's a re-run again... surprise! New episodes are 3 weeks away! In many cases, I miss new episodes because of this very thing.
Idiots.
The only thing worse are annoying TV logos, the worst of those being the "morphers". Personally, I've stopped watching TBS and a few other networks because of them. Everything TBS has, is available on other networks, after all.
"Oh boy! Let's put annoying logos over 1/10th of the screen, and change it all the time, and cover up parts of the episode and distract people! Let's annoy them all to hell, so they LEAVE our station and go to another!"
Well, you've succeeded TBS! I don't even subscribe to you anymore!
Hell, I've started looking at MythTV's source code... with the primary purpose of patching it to REMOVE those ANNOYING FUCKING LOGOS! Since most are translucent, there is a possibility that good results could be obtained on some logos...
The study quoted certainly does not say "spying on workers tends to make them less productive".
After following a few links, and then searching on Google for the original study, and THEN following a few _more_ links, I was able to read the pdf.
A pdf that discusses micro-management, through over monitoring of employees.. as well as about twenty other things. This isn't even a study, or "studies", but merely an essay in which the author read a bunch of articles, and then formed his own conclusions.
There is a vast difference between an essay, using quoted references to from an opinion, and a study.. in which things are typically discovered first hand.
No matter. The "study" isn't even about this topic.
What a bonehead. Don't quote a page, that quotes a page, that quotes a page, that links to another page, which talks about the article (and doesn't even sound like they read it).
Actually, it seems quite expensive. I pay $60 per month CDN (at 26 pounds, it's just over 1/2 the price of this "deal"), and receive 6.5Mbps down, 900kbps up, with no limits.
There's no installation charge, and the cable modem is included.
I prefer to have more upstream.. and a little less downstream. That upstream is far more useful. So is the lack of limits.
Oh. By the way, this isn't make believe speed either. Videotron actually delivers. I get downloads at > 700kbytes/sec all the time.
As for shutting down anti-Microsoft sites, I guess they could do that if the site uses some trademarked word, or something similar (like Micro$oft) in their name.
This is what I am referring to. We're not talking about taking down anti-Linux websites. Obviously they can use the word "Linux" in an article or descriptive means all they desire.
However, when a website has "linuxblahblah.com" as its name, it is definitely a trademark issue. The same for a company name.
I also think the same thing applies to Linus. He _could_ take action against LinuxWorld, but why would he? Better to let the FUDsters make asses out of themselves. Then he can point a finger and say "that's what our enemies are like". In this case, at about the same level as Linux zealots...
The problem I see is that the word "linux" in the url or name of a company gives many people the impression that the site is Linux friendly. What's to stop SCO from opening a site called "LinuxNewsFest.com", and writing every article in an anti-Linux slant? What's to stop SCO from doing the same, but with 1000 web sites of like names? With simular, slightly randomized articles? This is an issue of initial setup, not continual manpower.
With massive Google manipulation (as spammers / porn companies do) to get top rankings? So that Linux "news" that is falsified appears in Google's news section, because 100 fake news sites mirror the story?
This could result in every new potential Linux user, every suit, even converted Linux users finding themself overwhelmed with false and deliberately misleading information.
Sometimes simply leaving this alone is not sufficient.

It very much could be.
After all, I had no problems with shareconnector until AFTER they decided to ask for donations.
Suddenly, after the case, I had problems connecting. Hmm.
Anyhow, premeditation is not a difficult task. People do it every day, to bed women and steal money
Why?
So they can lie about being raided, and steal that money too?
Where is the _real_ proof that this money didn't just go into their pockets? Anyone remember sharereactor?
Same deal. Get donations. Then get busted. Thing is, he wasn't charged at all. Where did the money go?
I'd like a little more proof that this money hasn't just disappeared. If it has, then someone should have the site owners charged with fraud.
So, you claim that "A woman doing something unusual to herself, makes her hot looking"?
So, blowing her head off with a gun makes her hot looking? Shoving a 2 foot piece of wood into her nipple and leaving it there, makes her hot looking?
Covering her body with maggots and manure, makes her hot looking?!
Frankly, bald women are less attractive. That's personal preference, but I'm a little confused that you equate unusual == good hot??
