they could just put a mesh net over the prison yard. maybe take it out of the budget they use for locking up non-violent offenders for decades at a time.
They emit gold particles that when ionized create a gold nano-filament between the ear buds and the device -- allowing for perfect signal transmission. It gets kind of expensive having to refill the reservoir with fresh gold (i don't have the money to invest in the recycling adapter), but still miles and miles better than wired headphones.
honestly, bluetooth audio has come a long ways. I use a pair of jaybird X-2's, and the audio quality is basically indistinguishable from wired headphones.
(granted i'm no audiophile, I have a life -- but for spotify and assorted MP3's while working out, they are just fine)
well since the nerf(s) to quad kiting, druids are not quite as awesome.. though having handy access to ports would be a plus (not to mention on-demand SOW)
What exactly does some shifty business in china have to do with shifty business here?
You're like that annoying dude in every 100 level class who goes out of his way to come up with some contrarian opinion during a lecture, despite it being totally fucking unrelated to the lecture at hand.
No one finds that guy interesting or clever -- ever.
Please, the east germans were doing mass surveillance before lord admiral zuck was born. Things like FB are old hat to them; though Zuck and co has pretty much perfected it.
It's one thing if you have 'skin in the game', meaning it is YOUR business that you're working yourself to death over -- that's a gamble that at least has the potential for a favorable outcome. Quite another to be a worker drone, making someone else money. It's in their absolute best interest to keep the drones productive for as long as possible -- best case scenario you'll be put out to pasture aka, moved into middle management once your productivity drops off.
(More likely: you'll be laid off, and then posting in slashdot threads about how h1-b's are taking all the tech jobs)
tl;dr; treat your work for other companies as practice: learn some skills, develop contacts -- but be cognizant of the fact that your employer in truth cares very little about your success (outside of what you can do for their bottom line)
no, their product is most certainly people; but new prod...people are constantly being born, while others die. The value this particular parisi...company offers is the ability to accurately track trends.
What's going to kill facebook in the long run is not a lack of marketshare, it's going to be due to a failure to capture the extremely fickle, hard to reach, yet ultra coveted pre-adult market (basically today's 13-15 year old kids that are on the cusp of becoming actual consumers.)
This is already starting to happen thankfully; FB is not seen as the cool/hip service; it's being relegated to the same category as email. This is why FB purchases all these annoying and trendy new apps.. they're trying to stay relevant.
Eventually they won't be able to escape the stink of dad-brand social media, and they'll whither and die. (Sadly this is probably a generation or two away).
dunno but i'll stick with my overpriced 5s until it fucking breaks (or they push pointless upgrades on me that cripple it due to bloat -- same thing sadly.)
it's okay, we all look the same to them (oh the irony) -- so, I'd wager that tom cruise would be flagged as being responsible for basically everything.
it's not like google would have a vested interest in you keeping your (their) browser open 24/7. They definitely wouldn't pull bullshit like this in order to nudge you in that direction. A company who's motto was 'do no evil' would never, ever employ such underhanded tactics..
capitalism has existed for a few hundred years (the dutch were selling stocks in the 17th century for example) -- yet those examples you cited are symptoms of something that's only really been happening fairly recently.
i'd be more apt blame modern business's absolute lack of civic responsibility, MBA programs, and of course globalism.
Bear in mind guys like ford and vanderbilt basically built this country; sure they were greedy fucking cunts, but society as a whole benefited from that greed. It wasn't until MBA's started getting shat out, that the race-to-the-bottom mentality that we are plagued by today took over.
But that's not a problem with capitalism per se, more like a society which above all cherishes instant gratification (and rewards it).
Slashdot Mirror
influence, or write - full stop?
we do, but christian slater is pretty busy these days.

also legal in oregon mind you.
Vile necromancer! If that thread were a human being it would have a drivers license by now.
yeah, they're definitely geared more towards "pull out of your gym bag, and go for a run"
Mentioned this in another thread, but jaybird's earbuds are great.
Fit well, highly water resistant, good sound quality, mediocre battery life.
(not affiliated with the company at all, just use their headphones, and they work great.)
Close...

What's worth more to thieves, 1 bentley, or 20 rust-buckets from the local scrapyard?
>reputable
>keep us safe
10/10, would get trolled by again, well done sir :)

being an indian airline; with the savings from not needing any actual toilets, they could fit at least 15 more people on board.
don't worry, they'll find a way to mandate a grid connection in order to be issued a building permits
also potentials:
limit battery capacity (for your safety of course)
fee for tie-in to the grid
blah blah
large incumbent industries do not take kindly to change, and will fight tooth and nail to preserve their station.

Running 100 yards is quite an achievement, good work boys.
what about when the deer are drunk, what then?

Sarcasm tags are akin to sitcom laugh tracks: if you need them, you're probably doing something wrong.
