They probably consider India to be part of Asia because it is. I can only assume by your embarrassing lack of geographic knowledge that you must be American. This is why you guys shouldn't get involved in International disputes.
So if you're concerned about people having equal access to high paying jobs, who are you going to go after, the NBA or NFL, with a combined 2000 jobs, or Google, with 50,000?
To be fair, those 2000 sports people get paid a lot more than the 50000 Googlers (well the bottom 99% at least). So the total money involved is probably about the same.
That's why we need diversity. That's why we need people with emotional intelligence. Then there's the whole "diversity of experiences helps come up with clever solutions to the problems we are trying to overcome." thing, which is really really important.
That makes for a nice sitcom plot, but the reality most of the time it's just a job, and you want someone who will fit in with the existing team. If that fit is a different age/colour/sex than the others than so be it, but there's no magic formula that says to get the best results the team must comprise exactly one of each type of human on the planet.
8 out 8 sprinters in the last Olympic 100m final were black males aged between 20 and 40. Racism/Ageism/Sexism is part of nature, we need to all learn to accept that.
Well if you RTFA, you'd know that the watchers in this case exist in the form of lawyers and a courthouse. Yes, laywers saved the day and restored your freedom. How does that make you feel?
What about when it was all given back? I'd actually have more faith that the system works. The system doesn't guarantee a perfect life for all, but it does provide a mechanism to keep things on the right track, which is exactly what appears to have happened here.
Beats were a cool brand 5 years ago when they were new and had novelty value. Like most things in the fashion world they have already transitioned from edgy and unique, to every wannabe dork has them, and are hence now on the path to irrelevance. There is nowhere Beats can go from here other than down. Seems like a pretty poor move from Apple. But then they seem to be headed down that road too.
It's often overlooked with fat people that fruit is actually mostly bad for you. It mostly just sugar and water, stuff you need the least of (because you get this anyway from everything else). The only good thing in it is fibre, which gets broken down in a puree. So Fruit Juice/Puree and its products are effectively just sugar. A glass of juice is as bad as a glass of Coke, actually worse because Coke doesn't fool you into thinking it's healthy for you. You may as well just eat candy.
Ours was similar but there was no need for direct Internet access at the POS. Anything such as payment systems were proxied through head office, so there is no direct link. When the need finally arose for the online store to be available in-store, we put it on an iPad with 3G, completely separate from the POS.
Golden rule was never ever allow the POS access to the Internet.
Which is how we did it when I was in retail. Store network is private, behind firewall with no internet access, only to dedicated server on dedicated ports. These servers proxy any outside requests, out through a perimeter firewall. Sure it might not be NSA secure, but it works for a small shop with very low resources.
Where I live I don't need security. I leave the front door open when I leave the house, and I never lock my car. I have no need for HVAC because the weather is pretty good most of the year. I do use a small gas heater for a couple of months to take the chill off, but I can still leave the windows open to keep fresh air coming through.
I have no need for fans, or curtains, or sensors, or anything technical and I love my house and where I live. I also happen to live in a major city which is consistently ranked in the one of the top places to live/visit globally. I wasn't brought up here, I moved here for these reasons like this. Sometimes technology isn't the solution to everything...
I'm with you. I'm currently adding an extension to my house and the only tech that is going into it is regular AC electricity with a DC circuit for LED only lighting and appliances. I'm specifically looking for low-tech appliances, without standby, and without clocks, preferably DC where possible to allow the whole extension to be able to be run off battery if required. I work with tech all day, I know enough about that to know that I don't want that high maintenance shit anywhere near my house.
I can only speak from personal experience, but I still remember the first time I saw 4k display. I didn't know it was 4k when I first saw I just remember holy fuck that's the highest quality screen I've ever seen. I felt like I could actually step inside it. It helps that it was a 85" screen and anything less than 4k on that size looks pixelated, But while I was in the store I noticed the same reaction pretty much from every person who walked past. So yeah, regular people can tell the difference...
Yeah much better to live in a Dictatorship and actually be shot in the street for having a dissenting opinion. Why O why do with put up with this democracy thing and these silly taxes?
The main difference for me, is that ep4-6 were ground breaking stories for their time. There was nothing even close in it's genre (ok maybe Star Trek, but not to the same level). And despite the campy acting, it was fun. Ep1-3 were annoying. The whole Trade Federation piece was boring, Young Annakin was an annoying jerk, teenage Annakin was an annoying whiney twerp, Jar-jar was just ridiculous, And Boba Fett as a Maori was just plain dumb, especially for us Maoris:) Nothing took me away to different place, it just came across as Americans in Space. This begs the question can ep7+ match 4-6? Probably not. Because the sci-fi genre is well understood now. In 77 in was new and exciting, but westerns in space are done to death now. Sci-Fi as a genre has probably jumped the shark, so unless they go extremely left field and piss off all their fans, Star Wars can only ever succeed (financially) as a merchandising vehicle for 13 year olds.
I always find myself in this dilemma with music acts. Should a band mature with their initial audience or trying stick to the original youthful demographic? eg Metallica are an old band now. I still like their music, but I always come away from a performance thinking you guys are too old for this. Instead of trying to be hard, heavy metal gods appealing to 19year olds, they should tone it down a notch and mature with dignity. Madonna is suffering a similar fate, I never liked her much anyway, but watching a nearly 60 year old woman trying to act 21 is disgusting. At least when she was 21 she could pull it off.
Performers need to grow old gracefully, and so do story lines. So I hope Star Wars 7+ tries to mature gracefully and appeal to its original audience (now in the 40+ age group). Sci Fi for adults, I'd pay money to see that.
Even better someone should write a game specifically for prisons that offers all the psychological tricks of rehabilitation, and de-programming of violent tendencies. You could get a contract to supply all prisons, at least 2 million customers with a nationwide prison MMO that requires, non-violent co-operation and teamwork to succeed, and get the focus of prison away from stabbing each other, to game addiction. Sure it's not a perfect solution but it's lot better than whatever happens now. In-game success could be tied to real world rewards, good behaviour, early release etc. There is a lot of potential here to improve the current state of the prison system, and more importantly reduce recidivism which is a major blight on the way things are currently done.
Because Join.Me instalsl itself silently on a remote host, uses your webcam without your permission, encrypts your files without you knowing then sends you a ransom note asking for money. Good comparison Einstein.
Please tell, what legitimate legal purpose do you foolishly believe this software could possibly serve?

Maybe even add a Blu-Ray drive, so one only needs it and the TV.
Why, so they can get all those people still stuck in 2008? No-one uses physical media anymore, why would anyone want an optical drive these days?

Not just one planet. This type of event has the potential to wipe the life off lots of planets in one go.

Better than Melbourne. Too cold in winter there, and too hot in summer...

I think IOS has clear title when any comparison is made to Fisher Price

I'm pretty sure "the system" is smart enough to specify that the EV has to be a "car".

Yeah, he just wanted to pull it apart to figure out how he could use it to cure cancer and save the children. Protip: play with fire, get burnt.
Democracy is broken in most countries.
You should try living in a dictatorship some time. Then you will appreciate what you have.
