I don't care that they scan my email. If I wanted privacy, I'd revert back to pen and paper and manually deliver my precious content to someone else. The paper would combust within a few minutes of opening.
I don't doubt we could do more with solar power. I'm not defending Fox, cause some of the comments from them is so asinine that it can't possibly be fact based.
But how much of that land is actually something that can be used for solar collection.
I live in Alaska. The reason we don't have more cities is because well there are these things called mountains. And where there aren't mountains, is a lot of swamp, err wetlands.
And then on top of it, throw in a good portion of the state goes dark during winter.
I have no experience with Germany, so I really don't know if it is apples to apples comparison.
I'll believe it when it is well past prototype and challenged by people and not lab results.
But the reality is it WILL NOT alter the delays in traveling. TSA will still do instrusive checks, will still have Xrays etc. You still have to be treated like cattle for this false sense of security.
Seriously, there are wonderful things like vacuum seals.
Hiding your paid support line won't help. People publish everything. They will find it sooner or later, and then its back to open season.
If you have some sort of interactive voice response system, you can add a message that all support calls cost money. Include information that because the software is available free, paid support is the revenue stream.
The simple reality is a$$holes and cheapskates make more stink and ruckus than your happy to pay customers. They will complain and tell more of their friends than your happy customers will. The only way to stay on top of it, is to make the paid support attractive, thereby making their arguments idiotic, and get your customer's to fill out responses to show how happy they are.
If you want to belittle them, not always a good idea, have someone else not associated with the company, make wonderful insights into the stupidity of the cheapskates.
Stripped and shortened. I take no credit for the creative dialog. Just thought it was appropriate. Took out all the easy stuff.
Nope, first we start with a hummingbird-
Put that in a sparrow, stuff them both in a cornish hen, then put that in a chicken. Put all that in a duck, then a turkey, then in a bigger turkey.(Picture shows Michael Moore)
Put that in a penguin, stuff that in a peacock, then an eagle, shove it all in an albatross, then an emu, next comes an ostrich, then a leopard! Put all that in a pterodactyl, and then stuff it in a Boeing 747.
The problem with utility truck drivers, they won't like not being able to stop at the strip club and bars along the way... They really hate GPS tracking...
Rainy day with a bunch of kids, trees jumping out (honest ossifer), ostriches running around, moose attacks vehicle... Would depend on how reliable the system has proven to be.
With Oracle products, it seldom is the testing of just the SE app. Its all their other apps that integrate into it that are the problem. Further down the chain, it is the vendors who use the Oracle products that are further more hosed, which end up holding up the deployment of the client.
1. It follows the standard market diffusion curve. You price high, get the innovators, and early adopters. Discount a little to attract the masses. Massive discount at the end of the life cycle to get the late adopters.
2. Microsoft tax. Which begs the question - Can you load Linux on it and get your MS Tax back? Inquiring minds want to know.
3. Eek - Did you watch the marketing video? WE ARE BORG! YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED! NOW BACK IN THE MATRIX PUNNY EARTHLING! I felt like throwing up. It embodies everything that is wrong with Microsoft. It attempts to be cool by being cool and fails miserably. On top of it, it is form over functionality. Ohhh snazzy color, clicky keyboard. Show why it is better than the iPad, not that it has a keyboard. Geez. Who is running the Marketing Department at MS? Some wanna be hipster who missed the hipster bus because he was reading his MS indoctrination?
Now, whether the price tag is actually what consumers will spend, that is a different question. If I only had two pieces of information, that marketing video and the price tags, I would buy a laptop. If I couldn't buy a laptop, I'd by an Android tablet.
With the amount of linked FB crap on the net, it doesn't take much to build your relationship data. Say you are on a website that has a discussion board. Say the article is about Romney. Say someone says something that disagrees with Romney and you click the Like button or Thumb Up, or make a comment. Well if the forum is linked with FB, it can send the recommendation to their data server. Which is then used to aggregate into your profile.
I have never been forced to register my phone number in FB. They strongly push you to do it, but you can always skip the option. They just make it sound like it is a security reason.
Actually, does someone really enter the data, or is it some sort of xml feed at a certain point in time that is extracted and uploaded into the game library?
I have a hard time believing that a company as big as EA, does not have some data import engine written that ALL their games use.

Doesn't everyone use AdBlock?

Can be very NSFW!
That's a load of crock. You can get any Joe Blows off the street to "vouch" for a guy.
Saw an article that claims the mother destroyed the computer, which triggered the whole thing. That sounds more plausible.

Of course they are doing something everyone else isn't. They are sending the geeks version of Mossad after them!
So the Biebs it is!
That and the security alarm companies.

These type of things address the problem of "temporarily misplaced". Parent can't find the child immediately.
It can also create a false sense of intelligence. "I know where my child is."
These devices tell you one thing: Where is the device?
It is a piece of technology for the convenience of not having to keep an eye on the child. This is not necessarily a bad thing.
At some point, the child will learn to defeat it. Take it off, leave it somewhere, exchange with someone else.
As the article states, a false sense of trust. It can be abused. Things abused lead to trust issues.
And in the mean time, try not to get infected with whatever zombie, bot kit, script kiddie is running amok

All the more reason to block the xss stuff.

Why isn't the Phoenix Foundation funding this?

If I have people who do not have docx, xlsx, etc support, I just grant them read only access to the online doc.
Everyone else can read the newer formats with whatever Office package environment they are in.
Nonissue for me and my kin
But what would the Mayans have done?
