Yes, it is the same boss who also authorizes company money to be dumped into your lap in exchange for tolerating his crap. If the pile of money is too short for the amount of crap, convince them you're worth more, or walk. If you can't walk, shut up and don't blame your shitty boss for your prior bad decisions. That's pretty much the way the system works.
It comes down to the question of what you're doing on your phone and who the boss is. It comes down to the ratio of work to non-work that people do on their phone during the meeting. It comes down to showing to your boss that you can be doing something else on his dime right in front of him, when he's summoned you.
What do you expect him to think you're doing when he's not here?
What makes you think that they can't shoot an SR72 down? Ballistic missiles and satellites are less maneuverable, but faster. And it doesn't take a lot of damage for a Mach-6 bird to disintegrate.
On the same topic, I'd really like to see a Mach-6 weapon deployment.
I've logged enough miles on US highways to know that a random tire-blowing pothole can happen anywhere anytime, and does at a much higher frequency than on the Autobahn... How much gas in your trunck when you veer out of control into someone who was at the legal speed?
Hint: he had to drive at night. At over 100MPH, your headlights won't give you enough time to react. I know that for a fact.
So, starting with a few partial chunks of data, and guessing the shape of the others based on overall dinosaurs knowledge, we got a very high precision simulation.
At least when we get an election poll, it usually is delivered with a calculated uncertainty margin.
Can someone make a graph with the yearly occurrences of wizards (early '00s), vampires, werewolves (late '00s), zombies (early '10s) ? Cross it with more standard fanfic (esp star wars from 99 to 05, star trek afterwards).
Wraiths, mummies and ghouls would like to know when they'll get their turn. (and don't tell me they're harder to write for, you can pull a Twilight and reinvent them completely, just keeping the name)
Or we're in the silicon industry, understand it very well, and know that in the general public it is translated to mean that computers are getting faster and/or smaller all the time. Therefore, in the context of having people understand a comment, it's just good enough.
Not quite that simple, even if you would normally be correct. The hardware is mine but I can't get IT to install the secured e-mail app if it's rooted, so I'd have to carry two phones.
I fully agree that I'm eager to get to the point where I can, without rooting, tell each app exactly which resources they are denied, whether it's by paranoia (I'm the product) or because I'll never use that 15th feature which legitimately requires location/SMS/contacts. Whether app developers will write apps which don't crash when denied is the big question.
That's the killer feature for me. So [bleep]ing tired of apps asking the right to send unlimited SMS or take over my contacts just to provide an egg-timer...
The mid-range laptop on which I'm typing this comment is out-specced on all fronts by this phone (save for keyboard and day-long readability), and it's barely 6 years old. Nice.
- What, exactly, is preventing him from filing? He can fill his forms (even online, maybe) and send them in. Even illegal immigrants inside the US can file taxes. Can you tell me why he wouldn't file?
- "by april 15th, the feds will know his address" Do you actually believe they don't know it yet?
"If I had 50ct for every hour someone used my software, I'd be a rich man."
Me too, and I then could use the money to hide from the people who had to use my software for hours...
Ask Bill G about people continuously buying software in the silly hope that it will stop wasting their time (Ok, not so silly anymore, XP and 7 are decent OSes for the casual user)
Ok, I'll spell it: GP: "maybe it's just not there" parent "but it "has to" otherwise shit breaks apart" Me: "According to our math based on our hypothesis, it does."
Since the universe isn't breaking apart, and we can usually trust math before millions are spent on detectors, either we have a somewhat good hypothesis and there is dark matter preventing shit from breaking apart, but we're trying to detect it wrong, or we have a very bad hypothesis, and there isn't dark matter. i'm questioning the statement that it "has to" be there.
I don't need to be reminded about scientific processes, you just didn't get my meaning.

Literally.

On the other hand, doing what your boss asks of you, even when it's wasting your time in a useless meeting, is your job!
If the meetings prevent you from doing the useful part of your job, tell your boss. If not, sit there quietly, you're paid to take a break.
Too bad I don't have mod points to give.
My question is "how is this research more useful than a phone sanitizer?"
There's a whole universe between "people should shut up" and "people with money can spend unlimited on corruption if they call it contributions".
Almost all democracies limit the money flowing around politics. None has done it perfectly, but the US has a particularly bad version.
You don't understand. Gigaflops per second is an acceleration unit.
Run the sim for a while and you get a very very fast cluster indeed...

Marketing is all about not getting caught lying.
Except in the entertainment industry, where lying is also included in the marketing tools.
And don't call me Shirley.

I'm confused, you mean information can actually be conveyed via air vibrations?

Good for my tablet, thanks, but I can't root my phone as long as my boss is paying for it.
Is the apps firewall working?
That's the killer feature for me.

Zero.
They're paid for by the author's agent.
Does the slashdot effect work on bookstores?
No it's not. It's pretty dumb, really.

Good morning citizen, this is the brand-new NSA call center...
Hellish hot and spinning around for 8.5 hours, while it shouldn't be there at all...
Who's got a telescope pointed at my boss?

I'm pretty sure we both just said the same thing.
