I support funding Aricebo for use to search for NEO's, but I don't want my tax money going to SETI. I'm sorry, but as cool as it would be to either confirm the 'WOW' signal or find a signal from an ET, it shouldn't be a priority for using tax dollars.
Twitter actually works for Microsoft. It's reverse psychology; he rants and rants against their evils in such an inane and idiotic manner that it makes people feel sympathy for Redmond.
His wife was already quite well exposed when she picked him up, if not before. By the time his symptoms presented I'm willing to bet the entire family was already exposed.
Exactly. Drink some vodka and stop worrying about a virus that's already been spread all around you. By the time you sober up the virus will probably be dead anyways.
It isn't really worth responding to. I was just speaking anecdotally from personal experience and certainly wasn't whining. We all have had bad management before. Thankfully my current executive management is very competent.
I fired it up last night to talk to some old UO friends. I was told that I would have to upgrade to connect so I did. The new client crashes every time I try to launch it. So, instead I tried Trillian and it worked. Maybe that's changed today; haven't tried yet. I will check it out after this con-call that I'm on.
I think you meant to be funny, because it sure wasn't insightful. The 50-60 demographic (baby boomers) have more disposable income than most any two of us combined and enjoy their creature comforts quite a bit. They have HDTV and cable and broadband for the most part.
Even the older demographics mostly have a lot of those things. Again, I *hope* you were trying to be funny, because the alternative is ignorance.
Seeing as I *am* senior management so I think that I have a right to call it like I see it when it comes to my peers and immediate superiors. Save the pablum talk for newbs.
I've reported directly to a couple of CIO's in a couple of different organizations. In both instances they were petty, clueless people. On the other hand, I've had customers whose CIO's were not so bad and seemed to have a good grasp. I don't think there is a one size fits all answer to this one, but it's true that quite a few of the CIO's I've interacted with have been what I would kindly call clueless idiots.
Then again, they were smart enough to somehow get that high paying gig, so go figure. Many times though it's not what you know, it's who you know.
No, your parents actually talked to real people, their friends, neighbors, relatives, etc. Word of mouth was literally word of mouth then, and guess what? They didn't always *have* to visit an eatery to see if it was good or not. They could often find that out from someone they knew and trusted rather than some anonymous author of a review on a website.
It is entirely your fault and it *was* a conscious decision. Don't bemoan your choices; either embrace them or change them.
You beat me to it. There is a world of difference between voluntarily giving your position and other information about you and your current activities, and the Government of Industry tracking your position and other information about your activities without the ability to opt out.
That being said, I'm not interested. If I want people to know where I am going to be I'll tell them if they need to know, not post it or have some 'micro blog' tracking my every move. I don't need to blog it or broadcast it. Maybe I am showing my age but I am really finding all of this stuff to be getting increasingly silly.
When McCain has shifted it's been either to changing economic conditions (oil drilling) or due to his actually *listening* to his constituents (Immigration reform, taxes). I'm no huge fan of his, but I can respect a man who can change his mind when the facts change.
Obama's flips and shifts have instead all seemingly been motivated by political expediency. New politics, indeed.

I know. I was joking because he's accused me of being in the employ of MS, even though I post as much against them as I do for.
It was humor ;)

I'll bet they pay him a good bit for it too.
Complaining is a right covered by the First Amendment.
Complaining about Twitter is a sport.
Buying stolen goods is often an illegal act regardless of the level of ignorance in the buyer.
"Gee, I just bought this great stereo for half price from that nice man in the white van." Most buyers know that what they are buying is hot.

My wife works in the EE department at a major university. Trust me, a few of her students have been hot girls. Smart too!
My first glance at the page saw 'G8 Summons Ants to kill International Piracy'.
It would be about as effective as anything else they are going to do. I for one welcome our International Ant Overlords.

Close. It's a Belkin. Dlink causes manic depression.
Hmmm. That means a migraine might just be a beaconing condition.
Trillian still works just fine, and I can only multitask so much! I was on a different machine than the one I had it setup on ;)

If millions of people felt they were harmed in any way, what is the problem with each of them putting up $100 or $500
To millions of people even $50 is a lot of money. Your utopia sounds great, but in reality it's not that black and white.

There's so little eatin' on 'em though, they's always so scrawny
Yes but they are often found in communes. You do the math.

Give these bloggers a tool to create better content!
You mean they need a brain that functions AND aLife? Awfully high bar to reach judging from most of the blog content out there.

If anyone ever uses the word 'Geomicroblogging' with me in conversation I might just break several of their bones. When will the madness stop?
That's because our diets are very similar (omniverous) as well as many aspects of our biochemistry.
Personally after civilization falls I'll be eating the vegans first though. Grain and veggie fed free range vegan...mmmm.
