It seems to me that this is finally a pretty good reason for having a feature enabled like call forwarding. Send the bloody message back to the handler instead.
</humor>
Quite frankly this has a darker story. The handler can't trust the person to push their own button, so the handler does it remotely without the persons consent.
Which means that calling them "suicide bombers" is even more of a misnomer than it already is.
The person carrying the bomb was murdered, just like the entirely innocent people in their vicinity.
Not saying the person walking around with a bomb in their backpack is innocent,just that they aren't necessarily committing suicide either
Of course, the way things "should" be done, and the way they "are" done seldom match in most workplaces. Especially in larger workplaces, like government and corporations.
Because not everything behind a router needs a public address?
Um, why?
'cause I don't want my NAS box to have one.
There's no legit reason for any machine outside my house to access it. Ever.
It's part of that layered approach to securing thing.
Yes, there is a firewall
Yes, there is a password
And, yes, the device's address is not publicly routable.
Paranoid? maybe, but so what.
It's my stuff, and I don't want you to be able to look at it. End of story.
I wonder if the current tech of 3D printing can make an object of sufficient complexity/detail that could subsequently become the master in a lost-wax type casting process.
The end result of that would definitely be durable (being bronze, brass, or some other metal)
These RFIDs can be read at any point-of-sale cash register. No? Give the government a year or so
Someday, but a year? Not even close. There are plenty of retailers still using pre-broadband POS systems. Eventually they all get swapped out, but a year is optimistic (or pessimistic given your POV) even for the ones that go cutting edge. This stuff moves slowwwwwwwwwwwwly.
Most of the vendors at the Farmers' market I frequent only take cash, and their cash register is made by Tupperware.
There is an ATM on the property, and it runs empty almost every weekend.
Amen to that.
If I hadn't been going to counciling, reading everything I can on the subject, and consciously spending time doing things I enjoy, then I would have imploded a year or more ago.
Then who looks after the kids??
It may have been lurking under the surface forever. Hard to tell, since she's not a completely reliable witness these days, due to the delusions.
It seems there were a couple of big stress triggers that set it into motion, though.
I'll see your woman with OCD, and raise you a Delusional Disorder with Major Depression.
Not intended as a sexist comment, simply a reflection of my current life.
I know everyone is at risk of developing some mental illness at some point in their life, but the stats do show women being much more often affected than men (for Depression, 50% more likely in women than men).
And also, what OS?
When my uncle did our family tree a few years ago, he did it in PAF, which is free (as in beer), and seems to have every option that was needed.
It's a Windows program, but it does work under Wine. It can export to ceveral standard formats.
Some people may take issue with the fact that it was created by the Mormons, but they do make it freely available to anyone to download and use free of change.
I assume that with the target being higher off the ground, the mirrors can focus the sun on it when the sun is closer to the horizon, allowing for more hours of heating per day.
People will rat on each other too for a lesser sentence or a warning.
Except that ratting will be "Yeah, it Was JoeBob1337 that did most of the talking."
And if JoeBob1337 is even half competent, he'll be on the other end of a couple of proxies, and pretty much un-findable.
He might also be known as "BobJoe 7331". Or any number of other alternate names.
Technically, that's the second "R", Re-use.
Which is better for everyone than re-cycling. (well, perhaps not better for Wal-Mart, but that doesn't upset me much)
If I come out with a press release saying that "Us KKK members killed hundreds of black people." I wouldn't be arrested right? I mean, I am saying I am part of a group that committed murder but that isn't enough to arrest me right?
If the regular police didn't come after you for that, the grammar police might.
Nah, the Grammar Police would know that his grammar is far too good for him to be a member of the KKK.
And 15 years ago the same "experts" claimed that multi-tasking was the way of the future. That today's employees are natural multi-taskers. That multi-tasking is good for employees and employers
True, but the next paragraph contains this counter-argument: But Jordan countered that internet users should be responsible enough to review material and make a judgement before linking to it.
And I don't see anywhere in any of the articles (not exhaustive coverage, admittedly) that anyone has pointed out that content can - and does - change after it is linked to. How can one be held responsible for that?
Or if only 10 peers show up, it's obscure and not well seeded due to a lack of popularity...
Like many of the things I look for. (video of Zappa concerts from the '70s, old Canadian kids TV shows, etc)
A studio has a popular actor under that sort of "use your likeness after death forever" contract, but the actor decides he doesn't want to make umpteen crap churn-em-out movies.
Then he turns up dead one morning.
Then the studio makes the movies anyway, with his digital zombie.
I have a bunch of hardware at work that I connect to on a daily basis that requires commands (and even the login) in upper case.
So, yeah, I use it a lot.
That said, the Caps-Lock key could be a lot smaller, or in a different place on the keyboard and solve a lot of problems.
You described the issue with instantaneous capacity that has always been a problem for cellular communication, but that doesn't explain the 5GB limit.
That's because it's not a limit imposed by the technology.
It's 100% a business decision.
I suspect it's best explained by Verizon's (and all corporations) desire to be as profitable as possible. More profiteer every quarter, to infinity and beyond.

It's even more stupid that a given manufacturer has different connectors for their different models. (I'm looking at you, Samsung)

Booking a hotel room or flight or renting a car is almost impossible these days without *some sort* of credit card.

Just because your connection is fast doesn't mean you're going to use more data.
If it's painfully slow, you'll use it less.
If your content arrives in a comfortably speedy manner, you'll want to use it more.
is that so hard to understand?
