Why do you assume that all intelligent people are against human rights violations?
My rule of thumb is, if the highly intelligent person is applying for a job, they're probably against human rights violations. If they are offering a job, they're probably for human rights violations.
It comes down to whether you're the violator or the violatee.
If it's a hundred degrees out and your boobs, ass, and crotch are drenched in sweat, it will be hot whether you're walking or not. Unless they have A/C for the dang things.
You will be able to ALSO associate a character name to uniquely identify you from another on the forum with the same name. The problem is that, some names out there, like mine, ARE unique identifiers - My last name is uncommon and no one else in the entire world has the combination of my First and Last name.
Really? I'm sure I've seen your name pop up, Mr. Coward.
Mainly because I can read the same book on multiple devices. I normally read a paper book at home, go off and do other stuff, and don't get back to it until I get back home.
I might start an ebook on my iPad, read on my iPhone where I left off, and when I get back home to the iPad, I'm at least a chapter ahead of where I was that morning.
I've always had a question about this "rapture". What if you're driving your car, bus, train, or plane when you get whisked away? I guess all the resulting traffic accidents will let us know when the time has come!
I don't actually have cable, but I miss commercial breaks. that's when I would pee, poop, make food, do dishes, laundry, roll a cigarette, find my lighter, and solve a rubiks cube and I could do it all before the show starts up again.
I have a Tivo. I use the "Pause" button for my pee, poop, food, dishes, and unexpected phone calls.
Chase isn't really "my bank". It's just the provider for ONE credit card. It wouldn't really be that hard to cancel them in favor of a bank that supports my browser. The bar would be higher for me to switch from my main bank.
Also, if I'm a Mac user, it could be a major hassle and expense to switch to IE. If a bank site is IE only, it might be as easy to change banks than to switch to IE.
I have another complaint, though, which is arguable a stupid complaint but it's much harder to solve: I'm too easily distracted. If I'm trying to read a novel and I have a device in my hand that can browse the web, I might just go to one of my favorite websites for a minute or two to see what's going on. If my iPad beeps because I received an email, then I will immediately stop reading to see what email I just received. In short, when I tried reading a novel on my iPad, I couldn't get any reading done
The flip side is, with the iPad, I can set a Calendar reminder to get off my butt because I promised to drive my mom someplace at 3PM. With a "pure" ereader, I'd be engrossed in the book until Mom phoned me at 3:01 asking why I wasn't at her place yet.
The bad news is, I probably don't pick up new crap as quickly as I used to. The good news is, I don't need to because most of it is like the old crap I've already learned.
Ugh! Am I the only one who thinks they did that just to get back at the people who called their old interface "shit"?

They did that at my job too, and frankly I don't see the point except for the teleworkers. For everyone else, we could work as well with a desktop as the laptop/docking station. Better, because the desktops were noticibly faster than the laptops.
Indeed. And the funnier thing is to then look at Apple - they actually do release phones that don't even have copy/paste, and portable tablet computers that can only run one application at once, nevermind three. Yet that is not only seen as not a problem here on Slashdot, but you even have people claiming how it's a good thing!
Apple's current phones DO have copy/paste, and their phones & iPads will soon support multitasking. I think Microsoft copied the wrong version of Apple this time.
But I do have a work laptop. And there's a lot that I won't do on it that I do all the time on my home machine. The fact is, my work machine isn't really MY machine! It's their's! So, I do my business on their crap, and have fun on my own crap.

Well, considering that companies are losing data out their rear-ends, maybe that spelling is more accurate than you thought.
At least now, everyone can see what's being taken out of context, rather than blindly relying on the priests to take it out of context.
There's really not that much difference between CompSci and plumbing. Either way, you end up working in shit.

Microsoft released a version of Windows without IE, and it was unstable, erratic, and unreliable.
IOW, indistinguishable from the regular version.

I heard the same on one of those conspiracy radio shows. I think they also found a "666" in there somewhere.

OTOH, the illegal sites are less likely to rootkit your computer than the legal ones!

Unless all the competing carriers were also doing it.

It seems fitting that the execution of a killer was announced through the same medium that people announce taking a dump.
I see nothing wrong with that. OTOH, there might be reasons why I'm single.

That might work in California, but good luck if you drive to Oregon, Washington, or a bunch of other sunless states.

Same here. I used to have a clothes dryer, but it broke, twice, so I switched to basement clotheslines.
My problem with outside clotheslines is the local birds.
