I'm pretty sure that people who work in retail are basically on camera all the time, certainly when they in the public areas of the store. In private, of course they should not be monitored. Unless, perhaps, you count ankle monitors that some convicted felons wear as an alternative to being in prison.
If you were in England, you would be on some of the estimated 6 million surveillance cameras: 70,000 operated by the police, 300,000+ by schools, 13,000 by the London Tube, etc., and most of the rest private individuals and corporations.
Given the track record of police abuses in the U.S., and the dramatic [fall in complaints about police behaviour](http://www.policefoundation.org/content/body-worn-cameras-police-use-force), plus the usefulness of having on-the-spot video evidence against criminals, I would support mandatory cameras for all of them.
But there's a lot of really good stuff that your old books aren't covering, and so you may not be using. OOP in PHP, media queries in CSS (for responsive layouts). The old books can be good if used for occasional reference, but you need a lot of other sources too (kind of what the second half of your comment was saying).
Ummm, Erin Brockovich doesn't have a very good record as far as using real science to help people fight against polluters. Check http://www.quackwatch.org/01Qu..., for example.
Also note that in Japan CDs are still commonly $30-40, about 3x what they sell for in North America. You'd have to be stupid to willingly be gouged like that.
When I started going to concerts in about 1980, an arena show (Rush, Molly Hatchet and Nazareth were three bands that played at the arena near me) cost about $6-8 ($16-20 in today's money) per ticket. Nowadays, a typical show at the arena near me costs 3-5x as much, and big names 5-10x. Where is all the money going? Surely a tripling of the gate should compensate for a lot of lost recorded music sales.
So you are saying that an ISP pays $50,000/month for an OC-48 line, and charges 100 users (let's say) $100/month? So they have $10,000 in income and lose $40,000/month just on the bandwidth, not to mention all the other costs you mention?
Sounds like a crappy business model to me. Or maybe you don't quite have your facts straight.
The problem isn't that Office 2003 doesn't work for you. It is that people around you have newer versions, and your copy of office will not read the newer formats. From office.microsoft.com:
Although you can open Office Word 2007 files in previous versions of Word, you may not be able to change some items that were created by using the new or enhanced features in Office Word 2007.
But on the other hand, I can search my library's catalog from the comfort of my own home (or car, or while I'm walking...) and reserve items, and receive an e-mail when they are available.
I also lived in Japan. I would say that Japan is far less tolerant of mistakes than most countries (possibly not some other ones in Asia). They are less tolerant of minorities, people on welfare, the homeless, and people who have criminals in their family. (It's quite common for a policeman to have to resign if one of his close relatives is convicted of -- or even arrested for -- a crime.)
Why else would my ex say that if people in the neighbourhood find out that she is divorced and doesn't have custody of our children, she and her mother might well have to move?
I don't think you understand the domain. I used to write medical records software, and there is a LOT of specialized work. Like the prescription module that has to use a third-party database to flag drug and other interactions. Or using ICD10 to categorize diseases and other health problems.
Sure, booking appointments and keeping basic patient records can be done by lots of software. That's only about 60% of it, though. Also, doctors and other medical personnel are extremely busy, and really want software to be tuned to their needs. Being mostly A-type personalities, they are very picky about it.
(Of course, nowadays I might recommend OpenEMR rather than a proprietary solution.)
I'd say it's because the networks want to see the response to a show before investing in a whole season's production. That way they can cut their losses if it's a disaster.
The full 64K was actually accessible. It was RAM that was overlaid by BASIC, kernel, and other ROMs. You could swap the RAM in and use it, then swap the ROM back in once you were done.
For that matter, I got through chemical engineering with a basic scientific calculator, supported by a spreadsheet on a PC when necessary. I graduated in 1987, so maybe there's more math involved now, but I suspect there are just more PC-based simulation/analysis packages used so the calculator would work just as well.

I believe that the Kobo is an Android device, and can easily be rooted. So that may work.

Agreed I was working for Japanese companies (in Japan) for seven years, and it was soul-destroying.
I read that book a few months ago, and really enjoyed it (especially the early, near-future part). He's a very thoughtful writer.

GIB looks interesting, but the last release was more than two years ago.
For over a hundred years, people have been using the power of radio waves to generate enough electricity to operate a radio with earphones.

I'd love to see that too. I played it with my younger brothers, and one ended up becoming a surgeon!

Because the private sector has a proven track record of delivering (for the majority of Americans) shittier healthcare and a higher cost.
Oh, and what "decision" are you talking about? The death panels?
The CMS I use merges CSS and Javascript when I check a box. Surely to God this website is at least as capable.
But on the other hand, I can search my library's catalog from the comfort of my own home (or car, or while I'm walking...) and reserve items, and receive an e-mail when they are available.
Here's a good article about this

turn around 360 degrees and walk away.
Ummm, I think you mean "turn around 360 degrees and walk straight into it".

I agree. It's a shame that the review is so poorly written, when the subject is of interest to so many.
Given that Tove, his wife, is a six-time Finnish karate champion, I think that he might consider taking a softer tone.
