My wife is a nurse and we actually know MANY nurses. Mostly female nurses and a handful of males. There is interest in getting more men into the field if you ask them about it. But there is no dedicated "desperately important" effort like you see to get women into IT.
My wife is a nurse. And neither of us have heard of any dedicated effort to hire men and encourage men to pursue education in the field of nursing. Do you have a link for one that has a significant exposure? Because my lack of finding any makes me believe that our culture doesn't care about the idea too much. That's all my point was.
I graduated with an Engineering degree in 2011 from a major state university. There were groups, posters and promotions ALL over campus to encourage women to be a part of every field of STEM. I never saw a single one encouraging a man to be a nurse, psychologist or educator.
I'm not against being educated about this interest in promoting men to be nurses. Please, help me get rid of this ignorance. Show me.
Is it not even remotely possible that it could be caused by a naturally occurring preference of one gender to enjoy the field and a preference for another field to not find the activity as fulfilling?
You'll never see this kind of desperate hand-wringing over the lack of diversity in the nursing field for the last 100 years. But that's because we have a current sociological neurosis that says we have to force women into every field whether they want it or not. And we don't care what men do as long as they aren't getting in the way of women.
I know that sounds intolerably cruel and snide, but I really don't mean it that way in the slightest. It's a very accurate analysis of attitudes that I see in our current culture. And if people would be honest with themselves, I think they could see that. They have justifications for that attitude. But they still have it.
I wasn't referring to transactions where a card is physically present. I'm talking about the online use of the information where the only thing required is a static set of numbers. But I would also like to see disposable (one-use) numbers available for physical transactions using my phone as a 2-factor auth.
My point raymorris, is that that should not be possible! You shouldn't be able to obtain a static number and then have the right to start charging money. The story just highlights how wrong the current system is.
Why have Visa and Mastercard not changed their purchase validation system?
A static number that, once discovered, allows anyone to make a purchase until that number's use is deactivated? I should have 2-factor auth on all purchases, my credit card number should only act as a public key, or I should have the ability to generate new disposable numbers on the fly.
They've pushed this nominclature of "identity theft" (which attempt to make consumers feel as though they've been robbed) when in truth these are just cases of fraud that were made possible and likely because Visa and Mastercard haven't improved THEIR security for about 20 years.
(b) is just not true.
It is only true for the limited scope of Verizon's built-in monthly fee plan for tethering that uses their software.
If you download other software through the Playstore, such as FoxFi, you can tether like a... weather balloon.
When you don't need to prove anything... and it only needs to be "evidence based"... a diagnosis can change as frequently as insurance billing requirements.
This and the "Automatic Lip Reading" story both approach the attitude of technophobia. I get it. People are affraid that new technologies will encroach on personal freedoms. But it's a futile attitude. One thing is certain -- progress will occur!
The only solution is for freedom lovers to co-opt the technology itself. Camera's everywhere are a problem? Then pass laws that require all government owned camera's to be publicly accessible on the web to everyone all the time. Drones are encroaching on personal property? Then develop technology for property owners to take over any drone entering private property. And legalize it nationwide.
You can't stop technological progress. You can only take control of the rules that make it unfair. That's what self-government is for -- to empower the populatioon to solve all of the new problems that the society encounters.
Apparently none of you have ever tried to do business is Russia, Mexico or Poland.
The politicians are corrupt ones. Business just does whatever it can to be free to sell product. And in many countries...this is the result. I consider this a story about Russia and Mexico. Not of HP.
I remember how excited I was to buy a Vulcan 100MB internal hard drive/power supply for my Apple IIgs computer. You had to replace the power supply with the Vulcan because the Apple IIgs was not designed for internal components the size of shoe.
Actually, going under the large shelf of boob provides enough coverage and you can continue to hold both hands on your phone. Which is where you obviously want them.
For the last couple of years I have been completely covering any input I give to a phone unlock or ATM PIN given. With cameras everywhere, this was only a matter of time.

Supporting DRM is morally worse than supporting pirating. At least with supporting pirating, no one gets hurt.

Thank you. I have pretty thick skin. But I'm glad to cool things down also when I realized I wasn't paying enough attention. Mea culpa.

Doh!

So, I have made a new resolution. I will RTFA or at least drink coffee in the morning before posting on

I have to suspect you have never experienced Verizon's coverage area and reliability.
OK Facebook. Now apologize to all of the affected whistle-blowers that can't openly protest and embarrass you into action.
Putting a 7 on a Windows product is now the key to a successful marketing campaign. I suspect this will be a huge success.
Aren't these secret agents?
I don't think a secret agent who cannot make up a fake name within 1 second is really cut out for the job.
He's throwing the entire pool of U.S. workers under the bus!! "...just OK..." ???
Well done, Apple. Your move, Google.

It only set me back about $600 at the time.
At least we know the name of this scheme. It's called "Embrace, extend, extinguish".
But perhaps that's not what this is about. Maybe it's a new evil scheme. "Embrace, extend, own"?
Comcast simply will not accept being second place in the competition for the worst company in existence.
