Where my ex works, they had to get rid of sick days.
See, everyone got 10 sick days a year but they were bankable. So you had people coming in baked out of their minds on cold meds getting everyone else sick and banking the time to use as extra vacation time.
What they ended up doing was giving everyone unlimited sick days that switch to STD once you go 30 days in a row. Abusers are dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
anything can be thought of as imminent risk to security.
That's exactly what I was thinking. If the ISP is able to make the decision on their own, this won't prevent much other than the general monitoring of all traffic. It would still be very easy for them to see a large amount of traffic to one customer and decide that it might represent an imminent risk for one reason or another.
I've never seen a good movie adaptation of a book. LotR was pretty good, but so much went missing or was different than what we imagined...
The worst I've ever seen was The Postman. It's one of the best sci-fi books I've ever read. I re-read it last month, and there were parts that brought a tear to my eye.
We should clone a mammoth just because we can. I mean, holy shit, a mammoth. We could do it too.
Holy crap, not only did someone make a Jurassic Park reference, but I got it without having to look it up.
You realize it's been twenty freaking years since that movie came out? I remember playing the theme song in my high school band. Sometimes I look at the guy in the mirror and wonder where the wrinkles and gray hair came from.
Then my nine-year-old daughter asks me to get out of the bathroom so she can do her hair before she goes to her mom's house.
They'll all be touch screens with custom launches for the military market. Where you and I might see "marketplace" or "social" or "XBox Live", they'll get options like "Attack" "Retreat" and "Leak classified documents to Assange"
The shooter in CT was known to download music and movies. If only we had been able to track his movie choices properly, and note a slide towards more violent movies and video games, then we could have prevented the tragedy of 20 kindergarten children.
It's a fairly small price to pay, having each person's movie preferences checked and analysed a licensed psychologist. Mandating that devices can only play movies that have been approved by the MIAA, and music approved by the RIAA, ensures that our children will be safe at school./The outside of my molars in delicious, by the way.
I remember Timmy McVeigh running through that OK building shooting everyone. Horrible time.
Same when those guys stormed the twin towers and the Pentagon and shot everyone inside. It was on the news for months.
You don't need guns to kill people. Any of us could build a weapon powerful enough to kill hundreds of people with stuff you can buy from Home Depot. I could probably build a so-called "dirty bomb" for a couple grand.

I can make do without terrible sex once every couple of months, thanks.
Been shaving since 2004.
I'm separated, and I can't think of any good reasons to be in a relationship again.

ISP decision making in Canada:
1. Will this cost more money than doing fuck all?
2. Do fuck all.
3. Profit.

"Oh, right."
I remember upgrading my PC back around 94.
$250 to move from a 33MHz processor to 66MHz.
$250 to double the RAM to 8MB.
It's a kernel problem. It gives an unexpected answer to the magic knock.
Metric isn't arbitrary.
A meter is some even division of the earth's circumference. I can't remember exactly what it is but that's not really important.
A gram is the weight of pure water that will fit into a cubic centimeter. (A cube made up of one hundredth of a meter on each side)
The rest is powers of ten of those natural numbers.
All my kids' movies are in the folder called @kid-safe.
They know where it is, and they know not to go elsewhere. The other content won't be that interesting to them anyway.
NSFW movies are on the black thumbdrive.
As a fellow diver who understands physics, none at all.
We use Sharepoint at work, and everyone hates it. We're currently looking at finding a suitable replacement. I'm going to go get a drink.
What I love is this conversation:
"Hey, where's form WTF-SRSLY-WTF?"
"It's on SharePoint!"
It's easy.

Idiotproof, really.
Yep, that happens with my car. Had the fob battery die while I was out at band practice, and when I unlocked it the alarm went off.
Of course, I couldn't turn it off so I just drove it home like that. I stopped off at the pub on the way.
(I had a club soda.)

Well Mr. Godwin, you could also say that games like GTA IV, HALO, Gears of War, etc show us the difference that one person can make.
Dude, everyone at the NYT went home for Christmas. All they have left in the building is two interns and a janitor.
But they'll give a wicked gum job. ;)
Forget that! Add in the plans for a 90-year-old woman.
Why not two seventy-year-old women?
They'll both assume you're with the other one and he can get to the lab to get some work done.
I see lack of comments, lack of comments, and god damned polish notation.
Hungarian notation? I assume because of the "lack of comments".

No kidding, the sheer fucking mind-boggling amount of conduit required for the EMI segregation...
Oh by all the stars in the sky, the sheer paperwork involved. All the arisings during construction, everything.
See, I've always had problems with the e-readers compared to a dead tree version. I've tried a bunch of them but they just don't work for me.
