Most people who download torrents on a regular basis disable DHT - and since their method of finding information is via DHT, then disabling BHT lowers any chance of showing in their lists to zero.
A majority of "rank and file" employees in the united states do not work under contracts. Contracts are usually only used in the upper tiers of employment, such as supervisory or management, and above. There are of course exceptions, but this has been my experience.
Lol - I just love this whole thing. ATT is like the giant internet forum troll, throwing a temper tantrum because they got banned from the forums, and sprint is like the even keeled bystander, explaining to the banned individual why trolling is wrong.
Seriously - this is about as big news as saying Windows XP is going to be an increasing attack vector.
Printers are a generally *dying* medium. The company where I work (a health insurance company) has put severe restrictions on what you are even allowed to print, and every print job is via secure keycard release - privacy regulations and all - but the main driving factor was actually cost savings - they have a target for our internal operations to be "functionally paperless" by 2014 - meaning the only "paper" printed will be for legal requirements, such as signed contracts, etc.
Printers are dying slowly - in 10 years I don't imagine most homes will even have printers anymore - I have a laser printer, and a color inkjet, and both rarely if ever get used.
This is all of course just my opinion - feel free to disagree/hate me/show me evidence to the contrary/downvote me/etc
I can second this - while we haven't stepped up to Lync yet, we are on Communicator 2007 R2 / Live Meeting with Communicator soft phones - it makes things an absolute breeze to work with - I can't wait for the step up to Lync slated for sometime in 2012
Entirely depends on the person, position, department, company, etc.
I work on a team that is almost entirely telecommuters. Last I checked, me, the new guy, working from home, was being highly praised and his work being held up as example of how to be on our team.
However I have a friend who works very hard from home and never received recognition... ever.
Its all YMMV depending on the above criteria IMHO.
I think the neat thing here being glossed over is that she actually followed through on this, even going above and beyond to hire extra staff to meet demand. She could have easily played the "while supplies last" card, or done any number of other "shady" things to try and avoid fulfilling all of the requests.
I know for a fact if this had happened somewhere around where I live, the proprietor would have fed a line of bullshit and invalidated the coupons or some crap.
Suckered? I wasn't suckered into anything. I was left with no choice.
Of course you were. The "suckering" part was when they tried to convince you that a 401k was better than a pension. I remember all the hoopla that surrounded the rollout of all these "private pensions" and how the people who had them would do so much better and how if only we put all the Social Security money in 401ks every senior would be rich.
Did you know that the income Social Security is getting on their investments is better than the income on the average 401k over the past decade? This is one of the reasons why Social Security is still taking in more money than it's paying out.
Funny how you will never, ever see that little fact in any article about Social Security: that Social Security is not only solvent, but it's taking in more money than it's paying.
It won't be long before the only people left with pension plans are Union Workers.
And the right is telling that we should hate them for it instead of the corporate forces that thought they could get over on workers by giving them pensions instead of raises and then screwed them.
Yea, they may have tried to convince me. That doesn't mean I, or anyone else I know believed it for a second. Nonetheless, we have no power to "reject" such a change. It was made without our choice or input. Therefore implying that everyone who now only has a 401k was suckered is misleading, at best.
I don't hate union workers for what they have fought for - I hate that "the well has been poisoned". Try unionizing in this day and age and see how far you get (cliff notes: not far at all). The only unions still around, and still able to bargain for pensions are the unions that *have* been around for a very long time.

Plus, since we're talking about a very small amount, it would not hurt all of the retirees who were suckered into 401ks and Roth IRAs instead of proper pensions.
Honestly the idea of all the countries in the world being under one organization was rather boneheaded to begin with. Some countries are just too different.
People used to say this about segregation of colored people from white people. I wonder how that turned out... Hmm. Maybe we aren't "too different" after all...

To imply that you would somehow still socialize with those people outside Facebook, when you wont on Facebook, is a bit disingenuous.
I used to be horribly socially inept, a veritable outcast, as it were. Then I met my wife. And I came to a realization. If people don't have time to include me, they can go fuck themselves.
Now I have two very close friends. Everyone on Facebook? People that i barely care about, but have to "keep in touch with" for various reasons (family, friends of family, etc) - using Facebook to stay in touch with them makes it a hell of a lot easier to avoid talking to them on the phone, since I could really give a fuck less. Now I can just ignore the phone when it rings and say "oh, sorry".
But seriously. Who cares about everyone else being assholes. Fuck Em. Go out and enjoy life, find one or two really good people to share experiences with, and it will go a long way into making life be fucking awesome. Social exclusiveness will be no more, since you wont give a fuck what people think anymore.
It is obvious you did not read the article I linked as an example. Just like any tool, it can certainly be misused - however, having highly specific and detailed diagnosis codes can prevent serious, even potentially life-threatening mistakes from happening.
Just because its being mandated for "billing", does not mean the same codes aren't used for a myriad of other things, from patient communication, to history checks before treatment.
I am not trying to put some rose colored glasses on everyone and imply that some, if not most insurance companies will do Bad Things, especially those who are out to earn profit and beholden to their shareholders. But at the same time, one should not paint this change with such a broad stroke so as to imply it is globally bad.
FWIW, most health insurance companies were against ICD10 adoption, due to the cost of implementation, and the fact they could no longer deny claims in certain cases due to enhanced detail. That is why it's adoption was delayed.
ICD-10 has existed since the 80's - it is not "new", and it was not created by the laws, however it was modified heavily for the version (CM being implemented) ( Work on ICD-10 began in 1983 and was completed in 1992. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICD-10 / Draft Revisions were finished on ICD-10-CM in 2003 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICD-CM ) The laws have, however, mandated its implementation in the US by October 1, 2013 (preceded by HIPAA5010 no later than 01/01/2012), and with good reason I might add. Its just a flying shame it has taken this long to get around to being mandated - it was originally slated to be implemented by October 1, 2010 - but the healthcare lobby didn't want to spend all the money up-front to adapt, and so they delayed it.
For clarification, ICD-10 proper has been in use in the US already for some time, since 1999, but only for mortality reporting, not billing/procedure detail, etc.
Full Disclosure: I work for a major regional health carrier on adopting full HIPAA 5010 and ICD-10/ICD-10-CM support.
Corporate ownership
-----
At Star Trek's creation, Norway Productions, Roddenberry's production company, shared ownership with Desilu and, after Gulf+Western acquired Desilu in 1967, with Paramount Pictures, the conglomerate's film studio. Paramount did not want to own the unsuccessful show; net profit was to be shared between Norway, Desilu/Paramount, Shatner, and NBC but Star Trek lost money, and the studio did not expect to syndicate it. In 1970 Paramount offered to sell all rights to Star Trek to Roddenberry, but he could not afford the $150,000 ($848,000 today) price. In 1989 Gulf+Western renamed itself as Paramount Communications, and in 1994 merged with Viacom.[70]:218,220,223 In 2005 Viacom divided into CBS Corporation, whose CBS Television Studios subsidiary retained the Star Trek brand, and Viacom, whose Paramount Pictures subsidiary retained the Star Trek film library and rights to make additional films.[71]
I've been an anonymous coward for years, but I finally decided to register today, for some unknown reason.
In any case, the post I was going to make as an AC is below:
here has been some typical outcry about this change (eg "TEH NOES RIBBONS R TEH CARP") - but I think this is genuinely a Good Thing (TM) - I hated ribbons at first too - but after a couple years of using office 2007/2010 I have become accustomed to the ribbons - and what I see among less... skilled users is that they greatly prefer the ribbons.
I have had no trouble in office continuing to use my keyboard shortcuts I learned many years ago - and I am sure it will be the same for this change as well. It will simply give more options and/or make them more accessible for those who don't have all the keyboard shortcuts memorized:)

Exactly - Far cheaper to take a run down to the local kinkos if you actually HAVE to have something printed for some legal reason or otherwise.

Suckered? I wasn't suckered into anything. I was left with no choice. My company, and 1000's of others, are discontinuing traditional pensions, and replacing them with yearly contributions to employee's 401k plans.
