...when I was 13 years old.
First I wrote a program to display all the possible screen colors, then I wrote one that factored any number you entered. Then I wrote one that calculated prime numbers between 0 and any number you entered. I forget the upper limit, but past some reasonably low number it would blow up.
Sony's Service centers are god awful. I hope you bought the extended warranty on everything so that you can go through your dealer instead of Sony, as Sony is a joke.
They shipped my monitor to me in pieces after I sent it in to be fixed the SECOND time after the first time I shipped it to them the tech told me over the phone "that's what you get for buying these new things."

HIPAA Regulations are violated if a patient's data is ever accessed by someone that is not authorized by the PATIENT.
Is patient authorization required to use and disclose protected health information for research?
Generally, a research participant must execute a written authorization to use his/her protected health information for research. There are 3 exceptions to this general rule:
1. IRB Waiver: The researcher can seek a waiver of the authorization requirement from the IRB. The IRB only can approve a waiver if it will pose no more than a "minimal risk" to the privacy of individuals and the research cannot practicably be conducted without the waiver.
2. Preparatory Review: The researcher must represent that the uses and disclosures are necessary for the research and no protected health information will be removed from the covered entity providing the information.
3. Decedent Research: The researcher must represent that the access is necessary for research and that the use or disclosure is solely for the purpose of reviewing the protected health information of the deceased.
What happens if we violate the Privacy Regulations?
Violating the Privacy Regulations may result in harm to patients and to the University's reputation. Patients do not have a private right of action in federal court under the HIPAA Privacy Regulations, but may be able to initiate breach of confidentiality lawsuits under state law. Violations of the HIPAA Privacy Regulations can result in the following civil and criminal penalties:
Civil penalties - $100 per violation not to exceed $25,000 per person in a calendar year for multiple violations of the same requirement
Criminal penalties - (a) Wrongful disclosure - $50,000 fine/1 year imprisonment, or both; (b) Offense under false pretenses - $100,000 fine/5 years imprisonment, or both; (c) Offense with intent to sell information - $250,000 fine/10 years imprisonment, or both.
In addition, employees that violate the Privacy Regulations and/or the University's Privacy Policies will be subject to sanctions, up to and including termination of employment or abrogation of tenure.
If Dr. Pepper pays for a commercial, do you think they just print that money?
No.
Instead, they charge ME more. That is why no name brands cost less - they don't pay for advertising.
So, don't say we don't pay for it. All these schemes wanting us to PAY to watch TV on a per show basis are asking us to PAY twice if there are still commercials (which there always will be).
Most CD Players coming out these days use Data-Type CD units - which means most of the newer players will not play the newer discs. One case of where newer is not necessarily ideal, I guess. But the real numbers of "new" players should really include PC's too, and I'd have to wager that more PC's are sold in the US than new component CD players.
NONE of the PC's will be able to play these CD's.
So, basically they are dramatically limiting the market of the their discs because of a perception that less CD's are being sold due to file-sharing. This "lesser" amount is easily accounted for by the no longer booming economy. In case they haven't noticed, everything is doing worse, not just CD sales.
Do they really think that the dramatic loss of potential CD players is better than the small perceived loss due to file-sharing? If they do, they need to get a clue.
It isn't exactly in Microsoft's best interest to make this easy for them is it?

There was a dilbert a couple weeks ago which I would recommend for you. It had to do with a user having a fatal illness due to exposure to an interface designed by an engineer.
As a developer with a Master's Degree in Business, I would say that more often than not in my experience it is the guys with the most "engineer" oriented approach in them that create the least attractive and worst performing code.
The complete lack of a mention of a program guide and this statement:
A list of recording dates, times, channels and (user-entered) titles are shown on screen.
...make me think that it has no program guide. The lack of a guide is a "deal-breaker" feature to me.
Plus, once you've had a PVR with two tuners - you can't go back.
as a MSSQL DBA, I can say that virtually all the issues I've encountered in the last 5 years with SQL Server were resolved through code optimization.
It is only as good as the developer and DBA.
First part crap - build a big house just be reasonable. Small houses are NOT in vogue where I live. People are hermits these days and want the biggest house they can afford.
Second part good - get it all figured out in advance.

This has always been the way for Microsoft. They have virtually no technology that started in-house.
DOS? Nope - stolen. Windows? Nope - copied. Sql Server? Nope - purchased. Office? Nope - purchased.
At least X-Box isn't directly purchased, I suppose, but they obviously weren't the first ones to market there either.

I think you need a little less TV in your life and a little more learning.

Really, I don't care if someone knows what I watch. I think there are a lot more interesting things in the world than looking at my viewing habits.
Even if I watched porn 24x7, I wouldn't care. I've got better things to do with my time than entering 150 channels of program guide 365 days a year.
True story - one of our coders put that in during development and forgot to remove it before the release went live.
I have it too, just in one eye. So that means no LASIK? fine by me.

They may not be the best cross-section of book sales as they represent just internet sales, but I'd guess they at least do that well.
