No one is telling you what to do. They're just positing the idea that it's hurtful to you. But I guess you'd prefer that they do not study and contemplate things like this, and get back to playing games on their iPads.
The "tech" people that instituted such a policy should also be required to do at least one financial statement or report per quarter. See how they like doing accounting.
You could look into getting a better stereo. The $100 Sony one I got for my 2003 car has no problems sorting mp3s off a stick using folders, and loads my iPod's playlists and genres with no problem. Little to do with a data cable.
And what if that hacker does it again and GoDaddy has to admit they were hacked? They'll lose customer from a second downtime, and they'll likely lose a lot more from being exposed as liars. I don't see a reason for them to lie, really, especially by admitting it was internal.
Purchasing bitcoins with cash is only one way to get them. Most people likely generated them using computing power. Their investment involved purchasing graphics cards for their GPUs and using electricity to actually generate the bitcoins. It was sort of free money - though it could take you days to generate a single bitcoin with non-GPU setups - but the main draw was the anonymity, for use in places like Silk Road.
Linking this to big media is so easy, it's automatic.
But many times when I did search for some piece of media, I would get nothing but torrent links on the first or even second page, where in reality I was looking for any interesting sites that would talk about the plot of a movie I didn't quite "get". They do have a point in that torrent sites preempt everything else in many situations, and they have an interest in protecting the main functionality of their site, which is finding people relevant info.
I've been carrying my Sonly PRS-505 and now the PRS-650 in the back pocket of my jeans since like 2008 and never had an issue. Maybe the metal case makes the whole thing more rigid. But Sony too has gone to plastic casing with the PRS-T1, and a coworker's screen died after 3 months of ownership after, according to him, lightly pressing against a subway turnstile while it was in the bag.
Well, resizing an 8.5x11 set page into a 6" screen will cause issues.
The loss of formatting I was talking about was losing tables and things like that. For example, a info bubble you'd have in a text book on the side of the page, etc. If you zoom in, those "graphics" tend to get mangled and the text from inside gets mixed in with everything else.
What I usually do with PDFs, if I am stuck with one, is to cut the margins as much as possible, then read in landscape. Having the page cut in half isn't usually an issue, unless there are graphics in the middle of the page which end up being split up. PDFs that are just images and cant be resized, those are another thing. But the ones that can be resized simply turn into (pretty poorly formatted) plain text at certain zoom levels.
PDF was made with certain type setting in mind, so seeing it on a small screen with a 1 sec. refresh rate will obviously present problems. For example, I wouldn't even bother reading a PDF magazine on my reader. Even on an iPad, I'd have to zoom in for most stuff.
Maybe the physical item in this case is the eReader itself. Just hand that to your family member while they hand you theirs. With the readers being dirt cheap (I paid $260 for my Sony a few years ago, $70 is nothing), the argument against swapping the reader as a form of book lending is less strong.
How is it not a problem with the Kindle? My Sony PRS-650 resizes PDF text fine, although you lose some of the formatting at different zoom levels. The Sony also lets me read PDFs in landscape mode, with the PDF zoomed to screen width and page split in two, which the Kindle doesn't support from seeing a coworker unable to replicate Sony's feature.
Amazon could easily put in the same feature. I've read a good amount of PDFs on my Sony.
it's amusing how personally people take these things. I'm sure Google has millions of accounts, many of them fake, and they cannot commit great amounts of personal attention to investigate each one. So many likely get lumped in with some sort of an anti-spam or anti-abuse system. And do you figure Google can personally respond to each and every request for clarification? I dunno, people are just so personally tied to these online entities of themselves that they expect an equally personal treatment, but with the amount of data Google deals with, I doubt that that's possible.
But maybe Jobs' successes were what would affect people's opinion of a poor ad and make them think that *they* are the ones missing something; make them assume that everything was done in a certain because Jobs has such a better idea than the rest of us.
Here, it's more of a blank slate. Everyone's opinion can remain unbiased by someone's reputation. This ad is something Microsoft would come up. Way too much talking, way too self promoting, too long, etc. Apple ads and design have become known for simplicity and clarity. An ad like this just muddies the water with unnecessary minutiae. The unrealism of this kid wearing "genius" t-shirt on a flight and pompously calling himself "a genius" and not just "an apple genius" won't engender much sympathy from viewers either.
This is an ad that a focus group of business development consultants would come up with. It is significant in that it might be indicative of whether the same design process will creep into Apple's products in their post-Jobs era.
Well, if a cop is trying to handcuff you and you refuse to separate your hands because you are operating a camera, then you couldn't use this edict to claim a violation of your rights, because it was interfering with their business. It doesn't mean you cannot record, simply that it cannot interfere. I guess you can put the camera down, pointed at you, while you get arrested or interviewed.
Theory and practice are quite different, and in NYC, people photographing the subways are still harassed by cops even with a printout of the specific law allowing them to take photos.
Also, refer to the video of that woman that was taping an arrest from her private property - the front lawn of her home. The cop who was making the arrest some 30 feet away claimed he felt threatened and arrested her. Ironically, the people that were initially being arrested were let go on the scene.
I admittedly don't use facespace extensively, so the nuances of their email bastardization will easily escape me, so thanks for that bit of explanation. But my prediction is that Facebook will keep looking for other ways of monetizing their users. Will be interesting to see if or when people give up on it. Maybe there's an opportunity brewing here in the IPO for a new upstart to steal all of their users.
That's what a public company, with a horde of shareholders, has to do. They're following Google in scanning your email to better target you with ads. It will be interesting to see what other things they do to try to squeeze money out of people. I predict that people will get fed up and Facebook will end up like MySpace, though it will take a few years.

Don't they have Google where you are? The first result takes you to an article where each acronym is explained.

Well, by many accounts, we *do* have an obesity epidemic. Are you going to say that tv and in-house entertainment has nothing to do with that?

So they take you rinky dink website down by taking down the websites of all of their customers? Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Where is my 19" eInk display already?

The above list is likely outdated. The current go-to 9.3" reader seems to be the Onyx M92

As an American wanting to watch proper coverage of non-NASCAR motorsports, I've already had to get creative with getting my content.
