We don't! We may have 3 IMs, 4 new emails, 12 tweets, and a Facebook message to read, but the reality is, we don't read them all at once. It may be shortsighted, but I've always considering multitasking to be an illusion. We may be rapidly shifting focus, but we're never really focused on more than one thing at any given time.
I've learned over the years that prioritizing, and putting items/tasks/people on "the back burner" (even if for a few minutes) has resulted in an increase in quality of work, and overall sanity. Focus on a task. Only shift gears if absolutely necessary (priorities will always do this), or when there is a lull of activity (waiting on approvals, server builds, etc.).
Don't lie to me! You know when you're answering 2 IM conversations with a phone in your ear, you're cutting corners, missing information, and just trying to shut someone the hell up, so you can slow down and take a breath.... so politely put them off.
I'm sorry but they screwed up. I'm not going to pay $70 to $100 a month, have to watch a ton of commercials I'm not interested in, and THEN have to pay extra to get the content I want. Not gonna happen. Besides, if we did that, you don't think other channels would do the same? Next thing you know Cartoon Network will start charging for cartoons.
No I've been much happier with Netflix/Hulu, and been able to watch some actual Science Fiction (Farscape, BSG, Dr. Who.. ALL of Star Trek is coming to Netflix this summer). I just wish the cable/satellite company would wise up and realize where our TV is going to come from now.
at least all these students know that there's a system in place, and that it works!
I just hope it doesn't turn into an inordinate amount of "Are you SURE?" prompts.
"Are you sure you want to send this alert?" YES / NO
"Are you SURE? You're saying there's a shooter on the loose.." YES / NO
"OK, so you're certain.. *BLAM*
I kid...I'm sure they'll implement a better system then that.. but really.. is it broken? How long have they had this system? How many false alarms have there been before?
takes on a whole new meaning. If my car acted out half the things I thought I wanted to do with my car, while driving, I would definitely be imprisoned.
See that glowing thing in front of you? The thing you're reading this on? It's just like little pictures of cats and pyramids scratched onto stone tablets, only we fixed it.
not really.. we upgraded it.
I think you're taking his statement a bit out of context. You can't compare earthbound "image display" technology, with technology that's built to work outside of our own atmosphere (or even high altitude for that matter.) Lives, and LOTS of taxpayer money are at risk. If NO computer technology was certified as safe, I can guarantee you that our cosmonauts would feel a lot safer with an abacus and slide rule, than with a computer on board that has potential for failure.
So yeah, in the context of this discussion: "If it's not broke don't fuck with it." If there is a need for an upgrade, then by all means fuck with it.. for a very long time, and make sure it is very safe before using it in a program where the fault tolerance is minimal to non-existent, in conditions not meant for human survival, AND before we put some of our brightest minds aboard said craft.
I'd certainly agree, yet UT3 is on the list of launch games, so they seem to think it's good enough.
My boss got in the beta and UT3 was the first game we tried. This was on a Mac Book Pro on a 40 Mb\s connection. I was pretty impressed. I asked for his report when he got home to Comcast, but that was a no go because his Desktop is using Wifi, and OnLive blocks you from playing across Wifi. Bummer.
My own son gets a mixed result of surprise and disgust when he doesn't live up to the standards his appearance would dictate.
Amen. My best friend from middle school through high school (and beyond if he hadn't have passed on) had Muscular Dystrophy. He was physically retarded, not mentally. Our own wonderful school system even tried to put him in a "special ed" class. Idiots. Every time I hear someone refer to a mentally challenged individual as one of "Jerry's kids" I want to punch them in the face.
So when I donate to MDA, if some of that money goes to educating someone about MD, I'm all for it. It might even keep me out of jail one day.
Awareness is a fair use of of funds. Everyone is NOT as aware as they need to be. If it ever affects you personally.. you'll get it..

What a horrible "article" with a horrible title.
As many have already pointed out, Google has no obligation to Scroogle. Do we really think they are the only ones affected by this? I doubt it. They only reason they aren't screaming at Google is because they understand that when you scrape another person's or company's website, you are at their mercy. Anybody who's ever done any kind of scraping, web or otherwise, knows this.
"U.S. Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) said in a statement that Cuccinelli's advice would "damage the Commonwealth's reputation for academic excellence and diversity."
""What he's saying is reprehensible," said Vincent F. Callahan Jr., a former Republican member of the House of Delegates who serves on George Mason's board of visitors. "I don't know what he's doing, opening up this can of worms."
Total prick. He might as well of put out a press release that simply said "I hate fags." As a Virginia resident, and a friend to some of the few homosexual persons whom have managed to, and are somehow willing to stick it out in the state: We hate Ken Cuccinelli.

I don't believe they have that privilege. It's a standard. They'll make a browser that's compliant (sorta...) and keep all their extra IE "goodies" in there as well. (iframe tag comes to mind...later standarized in HTML4... only your favorite deity know why..).

Logs can be faked. How about a bitwise comparison to the known-good package system?

The DS itself is biased to right handed people. Look what side the stylus is on.

Hardly. Sounds like something that's pretty simple to fix before IPv4 addresses run out.
An interesting article none the less.
Washington Post article about it.
"U.S. Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) said in a statement that Cuccinelli's advice would "damage the Commonwealth's reputation for academic excellence and diversity."
