I'm down with my real doll android, aka Cherry 2000, being able to go get me a beer and thrust back, but as soon as she starts yappin at me, it's back to the whores.
I'd like to see someone give out information on the financial businesses that received bailout funds, but rather than just hearing about executives at bankrupt companies getting paid millions in bonuses, how about we just be told their bank account numbers, routing numbers, and other personal information so we can bail ourselves out of their mess?
I need to play with this feature on my W7 laptop, I wonder how far the reach is on this and how well I could daisy chain this, just out of curiosity more than anything useful.
Why would anyone Read The Fucking Article when the heading and introduction/opening paragraph give us everything we need to know...
Here is an example from a real headline...
Michael Jackson's Giraffes Murdered? (RTTNews) - Bizarre events surrounding the late Michael Jackson's continue to unfold, this time with the death of two giraffes that once lived at the King of Pop's Neverland Ranch.
Ok so by seeing this on my RSS reader I now know that Michael Jackson's Giraffes were indeed murdered and that cops are still incompetent and much like myself don't really care enough to delve deeper into this topic. On the other hand if the news blurb had come across my reader as "Michael Jack's Giraffe Murderer Found - The Giraffes were killed as part of an illegal Giraffe fighting operation ran by Michael Vick" then I probably would actually take the time to read the article...
Who knew that people would only click what they're really, really interested in or what sounds really really crazy? Anyone for watching the "Sanctity of Marriage" oh I mean "The Bachelor"...
Whatever your opinion ont he safety at airports, if we could double the guards at the exits/entrances and it *could* help with people like myself who aren't always paying attention to where their feet are taking them, then by all means lets employ some people and bring down our unemployment numbers a bit:)
You want something that will be read by your Linux, Windows and OS X machines? um, only one option I can see and thats FAT32. Any of their own systems, such as NTFS, get you only browsable directories by one or two of the other boxes.
"It was brought to my attention in an ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) newsletter.
My opinion is that Tech is a tool, a means to get from point A to point B, like a car. I think women want to be the travelers, using Tech to achieve their goals and using the auto industry analogy, they generally do not want to be the mechanics. When we hear about tech, we usually hear about the techies/mechanics, we do not hear about the many other skills that the tech industry requires to thrive and people tend to not pursue things they are not aware of."
That.
Prior to the tech inovations of computers and the internet, we had cars and trains as the feets of an earlier generation where the people who were most into building and working on hotrods were men, but many mechanics have ladies who loved their vets and mustangs. People who have fascination with trains have mostly seemed to come from men as well, though many woman use them as a means of transportation and wouldn't think twice about hopping on a trolly, light rail or subway, though they don't care about how it works, just that it does. To some degree this affects many sciences...
Perhaps this says somethign more about differences between men and women...
The Ontario Police Department had a formal policy reserving the right to monitor “network activity including e-mail and Internet use,” allowing “light personal communications” by employees but cautioning that they “should have no expectation of privacy.” The policy did not, however, directly address text messages.
While the Kindle and Sony eReader have been coming down in price and being heard of more, I haven't seen an increase in PDF sales from the RPG/Fantasy front. Speaking with many of the indie publishers at sites like rpgnow.com and paizo.com has pretty much confirmed this. Maybe once they become mainstream... (mainstream = I walk around San Jose State university and see every other person on the park benches reading an eReader of sorts instead of on their laptop or phones)
It's like saying, if everyone knew what everyone was doing and thinking at any given moment we'd never have any type of crime. However, who wants to be monitored 24/7 and in their head? Likewise, who wants all of their computers information, sensitive or not, to be handed over to McAffee or Symantech or whoever. Not me.
Don't get me wrong, I think this case looks cool and I am assuming that keeping each component separate really will cut down on the overall heat generated by the computer. However, for $700 (a little less in some cases) you could get a water or liquid cooled case from Xoxide which would, in my theorycrafting as I haven't played with this case hands on, would keep your components a lot cooler. Perhaps if this case was around the $350 range it'd be more appealing to me.
this has got to be the dumbest idea from a financial institution since that guy from the anti-identity theft company gave out his social security number and then has funds withdrawn from his account and credit cards opened in his name...
"You sit and watch someone struggle with the software that you've so lovingly produced."
"If we can't make design cool in free software we won't take first prize."
"Every time we create friction and differences between distros on that basis, we're just making life harder for users and making it harder for upstreams,"
- This guy is great, Linux will never get anywhere near the popularity of OS X or Windows if most it's programs suffer from having to be the programmer or substantial guesswork by the end-users to figure out.
I kid, some of the best mechanics I've had work on my previous cars (one was a bmw z3) would do all the changes then stop by the dealership for me to have the computer reset. Going to the dealership itself has always been a price gouge - $400 for an oil change? Go fuck yourself in the pee whole with that oil.
Seriously though, I think this type of law, allowing all mechanics access to the information and technical data on the cars they are certified to fix is a good idea and should be a federal law and not just up to some states to follow.
I liked CoH, but it didn't have the depth I was looking for in a "pay to play" game. I'd probably try this game out...but I'm an Apple user now with no PC or Windows Partition and that won't change anytime soon...so I guess I'll stick with WoW...

There is enough crap on my phone. In fact, the iPhone has so many apps and games for it that Apple had to make a larger model called an iPad :P

I can handle the interweb attacks, at least we're not still being fed lead toys...oh wait...we still are...
A great phone doesn't mean shit when your only choice for service is a string and tin can.
It's not like I'm going to buy or pay for the movie anyway....

If they start with this, then whats next? If you're a smoker you can't play wii tennis?
Besides, they'd lose too much money if fat people couldn't play video games anymore.
No wonder I couldn't find Lloyd C. Blankfein SS on Google...I guess I'll have to try finding it via Bing
Fortunately their is a comment on the blog that has some interesting insight...

Not enough Women in Tech
I believe this may be the article that MSNBC was referring to:

They really need to hire a marketing person badly.

At least everyone who attends PAX is the type of person to check in with /. and other online places to get it found out quickly.
