One trick that can work is the talking stick microphone. Use a regular wireless mic, and each person hands it to the next to talk. It may sound silly on the surface, but it can work well to also control the regular interuptive types that dominate these meetings. Not only a mic, but a talking stick as well.
Crap. If it was just SSO, then we wouldn't have been forced to share our contacts, or be nagged to connect with people we might know. Or have viable products shutdown and forced into the G+ alternative. G+ is a lame attempt at the social network information grab. Get as much info about as many people to be able to sell to advertisers. Fuck Google and fuck Facebook. They make Apple and Microsoft look good by comparison.
Not here they aren't. The FB experience is a whole lot better than that crap from Google, but I gave up FB recently because the signal/noise ratio was just getting too bad. FB served it's purpose but like most things past their peak, it is becoming bogged down in shit. I have teenage kids, none of them use it, they're all on Instagram and some other apps I've never heard of.
Grand old days? I worked in radio in the 90's when it was digital and this was still going on then. Slightly different MO, but same pay for play concepts.
A great body if you're a twelve year old boy. And Taylor Swift can sing, and write. I'm not a big fan personally, but I can see how she has a gift for writing and performing catchy pop tunes. It's a whole world better musically than the likes of One Direction and Bieber.
U2 were cool when War was released came out, but by Joshua Tree they had crossed over, and it was all over with Zooropa. Since then, it's been 20 years of trying too hard...
Apples and Oranges. Sony have a pattern of executive decision making that deliberately shits on their customers for profit. The Coca Cola thing was local gang warfare by some business partner. That'd be like blaming Tim Cook, because some jerk in the local Apple store stole my wallet.
It's clear there too much political indifference to reduce emissions, so instead of trying to force skeptics/deniers/unbelievers into towing the line, why not a contract with them. You're choose to be on the bus and help reduce the problem, or stick to your guns and face consequences if it turns out the science was right.
I imagine you'd start by laying down a set of climate benchmarks, agree on what is an acceptable variation under normal conditions, then should the averages begin to venture beyond those on the regular basis, and cause significant economic damage, the public (govt) confiscates all the assets of the entity, the directors, the board, and any previous board members/directors and anyone they gifted or passe don wealth to, from now on. Seems like a fair way to deal with the problem, since if you firmly believe things won't change you have nothing to lose. Sure we end up in the shit, but it's clear we end up in the shit anyway, at least this way we eventually there's some risk to be taken on-board and we save all the pointless arguments. Right now the carbon industry has nothing to lose by blocking their ears, and this is this problem
I'm really surprised there is no Top Gun 2 out and about. That is one that is prime for the picking. Cheesy story to start with so nothing lost by creating a sequel. Ryan Gosling would make an equally cheesy Tom Cruise, and Tom Cruise could play the Jester role. Throw in some 911 and Gulf war references and it's a guaranteed winner.
There'll be explosions. Spaceships on fire. Flying cars with no wires visible. A soundtrack by Moby. And since Harrison Ford is so old, his love interest is his daughter by Rachel, with hidden super powers key to solving the crisis, threatened with retirement unless Deckard does what he's told! Edward James Olmos make his triumphant return as Gaff! You know I got at least some of this right.
And don't forget merchandising! Get a free Deckard doll with every McHappy meal!
And since Harrison Ford is significantly visibly older, how the hell is Scott going to rectify THAT?
You're making the assumption that people who make movies care about such things.
Blade Runner 2 is a little pot of gold waiting to be cashed in. That is all that matters. Things like the plot, or the characters, or continuity do not matter.
I'm going to stay the hell away from this movie.
Wise choice. There is no possible way a sequel can improve the story, it can only make it worse.
Wasn't the Sony "wiped" version the one with the root kit? That decision, along with their practice of deliberately non-standardising on standard components in order to shaft their customers cost them my business for the rest of my life. No Sony products of any kind ever again, which includes my place of work where I have a budget of 7 figures.
This is the only way these companies will learn not to be dicks.
Australia is almost as big as the US. Our last govt* began a project to roll out fibre to everyone's house (well at least 97%) which would've given us all 1G fibre. Australia has a lot more empty space than the US and far sparser population. If we can do it, then the US should be able to piss it in.
*unfortunately our last govt lost the last election and the new govt knocked the project on the head, despite every independent analysis backing up the claim it was a net gain for the economy and would've returned a profit to the govt as an asset once complete. Ah politics. never let the facts get in the way of chance to score points, even if it means fucking over the country in the process.
Er what? Is your colo something different form what I think it is, ie a co-location datacentre where you can rent rack space?
Fibre is at the colo, where it isn't is the last mile to your house because the telco owns the poles and wires in the street. How do you get data from the colo to your house?
Unions actually save people's lives. Get back to me GoogleAdCorp does that. Sure there's a lot of corruption, but there is actually some life saving going on there too.
And you missed a bit in your overlong explanation of human morality. The short version is that everyone always acts in their own interests. Whether Evil or Altruistic, people do what they because it makes them feel good to do it. Never forget that.
Predator seems to be overkill for the job. Surely there must be other UAVs that fit the requirement of autonomous, long endurance, low cost, with surveillance?
Wiki tells me a Predator goes for $4mil/unit. I'm struggling to see where that money goes when there things like this can be bought for a little over $1000. The smarts is in the software, so add similar intelligence into a $100k UAV should be able to yield the same results as a predator for 2.5% of the cost. With 40 times as many aircraft for the same dollar, Border Control ceases to be an issue.

I must admit, Apple's resistance to the social media gimmick deserves respect. I'll never buy their shit, but that's one thing they got right.

How do yo know this? Because you read the comments.
This is why other people like to leave comments.
And it totally locked up the radio for a good three or four minutes at a time.
Didn't your radio have a dial?

You still stay up late, only your definition of late is now 9pm...
People still use physical media? What is this 2005?

Woah there buddy. One of those things is not like the other. Fucking Thelma and Louise? Seriously? Who gives a shit what they do to that spaghetti...

Buy? Just download a copy of the iso and use your valid, legal key that you've already paid for. Why would you need to buy anything further?
Another stupid 3D printing story....

Change just for the sake of it is stupid.
So you've never heard of fashion then? Or Branding? Or marketing in general? Do you cut your hair? Or shave?
Are the new icons in any way better (they let people do their job faster, for example) ?
The flat look is better for responsive website since they can scale easily between vastly different screen sizes.
