    I'm thinking "around here" is somewhere that they do actual work instead of gossip at each others desks all day

    Yes, because your special request takes precedence over what that person may be working on that's actually important.
    Screw that. Send me an email and I will get back to you when it's convenient for me. Then if more discussion is needed we can setup a meeting.

  4. What's email? on What Would a Post-Email World Look Like? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Is it defined as messages sent via SMTP? Or just electronic messages?
    There was email before SMTP, there will be email after SMTP. Messages between two users on a BBS was email, messages between a couple of users on facebook is email. So, no, it won't go away.

    It's a lot harder to find 15" laptops WITHOUT a number pad. And the touchpad is always off center. It's annoying. I don't need a numpad, and would like to not have to be stuck with one.

    Dragon Age:Origins was exactly the same. Except it was impossible to tell why your DLC was showing as unauthorized!
    So, after a reinstall it's a server down problem. YAY!

    considering THEY ALREADY DO IT and HAVE DONE IT, it jives pretty well.

    They have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders to maximise profits, so of course they will do that by reducing privacy

    Let's turn on the disc changer, shall we? OK, what DVD is in spot #1? 20 seconds..... plus whatever other load time there is.
    Ok, disc #2? Hmmm, what about #3?....

    What a waste of time for zero gain, only pissing off the general public.

    If Netflix has it in HD, it's ONLY available in HD.

    A lot of Netflix content is HD also. Most of what I watch is.

    Netflix requires 3Mbps for HD streaming. Watch two things at once on your connection, I dare you.

    Households often have multiple people watching multiple programs.

    DSL is not a competitor worth mentioning since the speeds are not high enough in most areas to support quality streaming.
    Fios is available to like 5 people. So also doesn't compare.

    250GB is less than 4 hours of HD content per day, if you do nothing else with the internet at all.

    Ignoring the fact that the salt/sugar and carb laden foods are the most affordable in the short term, people just don't know what's good or bad.

    There are so many different and flip-flop food advices given that it's hard to keep up.

    One day eggs are bad, the next good, and then back to bad.
    Same with so many different opinions.

    Not enough is being spent on keeping the food chain safe, let alone educating what's good and bad for you.
