A person working at a printing press is a manual laborer - and considering that the bottom rollers run at something like 400 RPM, you don't want an around-the-neck tie anywhere near that. Granted, the torque's not that great, but... I once saw the results of someone trying to unwrap a roller while the machine was still running. The machine literally wrapped his arm around the roller twice. Spiral fracture from elbow to wrist. Never seen anything like that before.
The Revolution, based on the Revolution controller, strikes me at this point of being a gimmick system. I could see the potential of the DS, but this one...
My parents had a simple way of preventing me from buying things that they didn't want me to when I was young. They just didn't give me any significant amount of money!
I know that perhaps it seems absurd to some, but what does a adolescent really NEED to buy? Allowances were for covering "operating expenses". It was put in my hand, and I was sent on my way. I learned that if I decided to spend the money on something other than its intended purpose, I'd soon have a shortage, and nothing sucks more than the embarrassment of sitting with your friends at lunchtime and not having anything to eat. Sometimes allowance included money for clothing (optional items like a specific sweater that I liked, whatever), sometimes "recreational materials" (had to save up for quite a while to get a NES, I remember), but since this was under their control, it was pretty easy to see right away what I'd spent the money on.
Is someone who is 25 years of age that does nothing but go to work, then watch television until bedtime 5 days a week count as an adult? If being of age and completely self-supporting are not the sole criteria for adulthood, then what else do you require?
Moses also in the episode "Super Best Friends". In this episode, we learn that Jesus, Muhammad, Budda, Krishna, Moses, Lao Tsu, and Joseph Smith are a team, fighting evildoers around the world. Oh, and Sea Man - whose name is frequently misprounced.
The day centralized IT goes away is the day the departmental pissing matches come back full force, with the "computer guys" stuck in the middle again. Leave IT management to those best suited to it - good managers with skills in the field. You want one person assigned to your department? Fine - but let their boss, the one who sees the overall scheme, handle it. Your way would have 22 different guys working all on top of each other, vying for redundant resources.
"Nothing sexual in an angry woman..." Interesting point. When I heard Charlize Theron was going to do a nude scene in Monster, I was less apprehensive about seeing the film. Then I saw the film. Indeed, there was nothing sexual about it. Either she's a very good method actress, or she looks absolutely horrible nude.
I've told a few people, "If you want to keep it, don't throw it in the trash."
I once summoned up my inner BOFH, scripted Outlook's Deleted Items folder to empty on exit on Friday. Left a note warning of this right beside the note on the office fridge that said, "The fridge will be emptied on Friday. If you want it, claim it." I thought it was fitting.
And for those people who didn't close Outlook on Friday... I emptied Deleted Items for them.
Someone decided to get just educated enough to "Recover Deleted Items". I waited until the next Friday, and taught them about "Purge".
The original poster mentioned using Exchange. Exchange (since 2000, at least) uses single instance store for mass mailings. Only one actual copy of a message attachment exists - the rest are actually just pointers. Your example, archiving notwithstanding, would occupy 4 meg of space.
And it would definitely take a while to fill 1.3GB with genuine business data. Consider that many mail servers these days have been configured to deny accepting and/or receiving attachments larger than n, usually somewhere under 15MB.
When the chips are down, there are only a few variety of folks who do the best possible job at watching your back when you can't watch it yourself. A good strip club bouncer would be one of them.
No, cable networks are not regulated by any body. The only thing they fear is the absence of profit. They do what's good for business, and try not to offend the customer. A mental exercise for you - what do Comedy Central and VH1 have that HBO and Cinemax don't?
Nudity all over Cinemax, HBO, and the like - who is their customer? You and I.
Who is the customer of the others? Not you or I... So, how does VH1 make its money? What are they selling?
I don't know what the deal is with Mountain Dew Amp, but I can't drink it. About half an hour after I've had one, I experience a measurable heart arrythmia for the next couple of hours. My heart would literally do a two-step from time to time. Let me tell you, that feels weird.
Rattled me enough that I swore off all MD products.
Regarding your "straight-up urban legend" - I (not a friend of my cousin) had the experience once of walking past the receptionist's desk at work one morning just as she was about to transfer some outside caller (claiming to be the phone company) to a dial tone.
Curiously, they gave our receptionist exactly the proper sequence of keys to press in order to pick up another trunk, conference in an operator, and then drop out of the call. Of course, this varies from switch to switch. Being the thorough person she was, she actually wrote it down.
The receptionist got a cookie for asking me if what this person was asking her to do was okay *before* she did it. I advised her to hang up, she told me that she wasn't permitted to hang up on callers, and I revoked her cookie before hanging up the phone myself.
Thanks for the info! Great mod. As far as I'm concerned, this was the best darn Q2 mod ever. Anyone should try it. Wonder if I can find that config file I tweaked for months...
...all the time, many platforms, several games. And it sucks to lose your entire history of gaming on a console for one bug.
I've got a first-run PS2 and memory cards that are getting a little long in the tooth, and I have concerns about data corruption on those cards. I really wish some manufacturer would bring a first-party backup device to market. On the other hand, some might consider that an admission of flaws in their product.
Can't someone make a console that takes CompactFlash or SDs? Heck, I'll take Memory Sticks if I have to - at least I could back up saves to PC if nothing else...
Not to mention, depending on the state of her diet this week, it might take longer to cross Oprah's back...
I realize this post isn't in the games section, but it's similar in that every article in that section lately seems to have at least one reference to Shadow of the Colossus...
Based on the grandparent post, I would say that it's not a question of whether or not your provider has the right to sell "their" data (which wouldn't exist without you), it's a question of whether or not someone else has the right to read it.
Phrase substitution exercise:
The difference between you or me and a runaway battered wife being snooped on is that there's a decent chance the snooping will get the wife killed.
Killing federal agents - that's a project someone is very unlikely to enter lightly, certainly not an impulse crime.
My point is, there are other subsets of the population that are much larger than "federal agent" that are much more likely to be endangered by this sort of information, and do not benefit from the same kinds of protections around them as government agents typically do.

I saw the article title and was like, "Penny Arcade did what?"

How to steal cardiac data? Mola Ram could do it...

Are you sure about that?

I recommend buying this in bulk and using it to brew your coffee.
