Yeah that's pretty neat, now let's make it optionally reflective so it can double as a mirror (women will kill for this) & smooth enough so skin oils don't smudge.
Humans did unspeakable, terrible things to each other...they had no video games, where did they draw on for inspiration?
How can we isolate thousands of years of savagery and blame it on video games? -As in how can we genuinely study this with meaningful results?
Most studies end up concluding what researchers want them to conclude. If they don't, it just makes them look bad so they don't publish.
Short story; historically we are only becoming more social and more peaceful. I suppose the only differences being that we have more media coverage and are more capable, technologically, of mass destruction.
What is it that we are trying to prove with these studies anyways? -I learned about atrocities in the bible long before I knew about video games.
This is not an attempt to "innovate" or get rid of those stupid stickers...this is just another way BA wants to collect customer data for free.
Here's a real suggestion; I recently traveled with a Chinese airline and they had the unoriginal but highly effective idea of staggering passenger on-boarding.
It does not get much simpler to speed things up, fill the back of the plane first by batches.
It's amazing how 230 people can board in 15 minutes with luggage if 200 don't have to wait for one person blocking the rather narrow path.
Seriously how simple and efficient can it get to defeat long standing queues? 'passenger seat numbers 41 - 50 now boarding', then 30 - 40 etc. is this some form of misunderstood genius?!
Suggestion 2; make a security queue for people without handbags. this will cause more people to not bother with one just so they can get through faster.
If BA want to hire me as a consultant I'll save them loads of money, they can pay me half the difference. -brought to you by basic copycat logic.
You tell your kids about those terms...see how you get on. The fact is, this sort of situation in some form will happen. Life does not exist in a ToS vacuum.
Assuming several ISPs are being roped into these agreements one way or another it's still up to the consumer to vote with their feet.
I for one am quite interested in how many subscribers will simply leave or terminate immediately when threats to cut off their internet are made (1st strike 2nd etc)
Imagine your child downloads some stuff and all of a sudden there's a risk that your favorite internet movie streaming service is cut off. Will you put up with ISPs that do this?
Somewhere out there is an ISP small enough or honorable enough to protect its' customers.
When it comes to anxiety it's fear that keeps people away. They refuse to face the source of their anxiety. One technique to overcome anxiety/fear is to flood -"flooding"
The idea is that anxiety cannot build indefinitely. It peaks and then subsides. So flooding puts you in anxiety inducing situations in increasing intensity. Let's put it this way, it's not for everyone.
Imaging helps people stay in relatively controlled environments to face their fears or source of anxiety in isolation. It like taking baby steps. So much easier to handle.
Something tells me that viewing some stressful images from your favorite tablet on a coach at home with a cup of tea is the way most people will choose to combat their social anxiety. that is rather than the flooding alternative that would just put you in direct contact with your source of anxiety.
I used to have pornography anxiety and from the comfort of my coach I slowly started to get over it. These days I can watch thousands of stressful images or even videos without a single panic attack. I'm cured. True story.
I'm sure many people would be keen to cure such genetic faults as small breasts...of course I do wonder if BBW lovers could simply be suffering from a genetic fault themselves.
I always worry when such notions arise. After all, everyone has a slightly different brain. some people have entire regions and functions mapped to areas we thought were science fiction just a decade or two ago. (typically the result of serious childhood brain trauma)
For all we know her brain might differ from the norm, or her regional background might produce a similar anomaly. We'll need many thousands more of such scans.
While this is and should be a celebrated achievement we must keep in mind that microscopically accurate scans will most likely be required on a per individual basis.
Perhaps in the future we'll all carry our own 10PB brain map in our sub-dermal biochips.
You have some general (factual?) figures about budget and some strong opinions...and you discovered that an IT manager is not a tech (common occurrence) you say he repeats what his subordinates say without question...So really, where is the actual justification for your conclusions?
All this reads to me is some sort of "In my opinion..." and "I'm not happy about it."
There are objective methods of assessment but people are biased. the bad news is that you are already biased and cannot judge objectively anymore.
It boils down to this; if you know how to do something that is better for the business than person X you should propose it and see what the feedback is. You would be more valuable to the company and appreciated by your peers if you suggest how to fix problems over pointing fingers, right or wrong.
Here's a thought, perhaps this person is under constraints or pressures that you are not aware of and is actually making the best of a terrible situation? -why is that not as feasible as your above opinion?
You're both wrong.
A bit of common sense here; you need to consider the media to which this data is written. It's too much data for RAM on a phone, and if you stream video it will possibly be a hundred times too fast. So you cannot write to RAM and discard anything over your total free amount...
So you're still limited by roughly 30MB/sec of your high quality nand flash phone storage.
So...your 5G, 1Gbps download (125MB/sec theoretical) would slow down to 30MBps (IF you're lucky) and you would saturate your 10GB allowance (if you have the space) in just over 5:40 minutes.
Now...factor in real life and you'll realise that it's "up to 1Gbps" and only in certain areas, in good weather, when you're not death gripping your phone.
So as I said, you're both wrong.
But hen again I have noticed some deficits and unemployment in Spain, Cyprus, Greece, Italy and some of those other places that are...well mostly in Europe...they have a lot of people needing jobs, why not get them into farming?
Sure, it's more efficient to use giant machines and GM crops to make certain key corporations filthy rich but on the flip side if they are obligated to employ a reasonable amount of people we might make a dent in those countries negative figures & turn that big Euro zone frown upside down...
This is what happens when an MBA type person runs a tech company. He thinks more about brand and reputation than being the best in the market. He thinks marketing and commercials can replace good products that offer great value.
So true.
Perhaps it is with some satisfaction that you will learn I have taken the initiative on this and written to MBA political figures to address the wrong doings and ill-conceived thoughts of their citizenry.
Don't worry, a little movie magic will CGI him back to youth.
Count Dooku was doing some pretty impressive somersaults. That was a 2005 movie using technology from 2000. Imagine what 13 years of improvements can do.
On the internet all it takes is one hole. One weak link in the chain.
This will achieve nothing. It will solve nothing.
Determined users will find ways around it if they have not yet. This will not generate revenue and just feed the hate for the MAFIAA
It's not even about legality. Look at any banned substance, if there is a demand for it, there will be a supply. This ruling follows a token law that has no bite, has no teeth and is actually counterproductive. I did not even know about those other two sites until today.
Maybe the way forward is to also take out a super injunction not to make the ruling public. That'll make sure no one knows.
Why is it that sometimes code names are better than the name of the final product? "Windows Blue" is a better name than simply "Windows 9". Similarly, "Xenon" was a better name than "Xbox 360".
Nintendo's fond of that, too. "Nitro" versus "DS", "Dolphin" versus "GameCube", "Revolution" versus "Wii".
Beyond copyright it's about being able to distinguish your product in a uniquely identifiable manner.
What are the chances that when you speak about "Xenon" people will not think of a gas or chemical compound? an old school game?
When you say "Xbox" everyone is acutely aware of only one possible meaning. If anyone else uses "Xbox" you can sue them.
So really after "Windows" anything can follow because everyone knows what that's supposed to mean. There was enough time for people to stop associating physical glass windows and windows software. If MS had to choose an OS name today it would wage that it would not have been "Windows" but rather some similar non-existent word.
If you were allowed to call a lawyer multiple times then I see no reason not to allow a person to google a lawyer.
This might actually speed things up and maybe even alleviate the need for an escort. A cell with some locked down access to a yellow pages site or something of the sort. No need to leave.
Slashdot Mirror
I have read this quite concerned but am now finally relieved that my porn viewing will not be affected in the slightest.
Thank you for reporting on "stuff the matters".
You know, viewing your own image in real time on the phone is not new...BUT it pales in comparison to an actual mirror.
When you can match that quality then it's something of a luxury to feedback a real time image but at least it is just as good.
Yeah that's pretty neat, now let's make it optionally reflective so it can double as a mirror (women will kill for this) & smooth enough so skin oils don't smudge.

They use GPS!

In reality flooding works in some cases and this is not a BS approach.
For your perusal pleasure please reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flooding_(psychology)
A nice name for it is "exposure therapy". Ironically it's big in Germany.
