Complete crap. Radio shack is its own company, the Canada part was called intertan, and they were sued within a week of being bought by intertan. I find nothing about Best Buy owning anything other than CC's ass.
This is only true if you're a US citizen. If you aren't, you are required to have ID.
Technically, I supposed you're required to have your passport and green card, but only a cop can demand that sort of thing, and he can't tell anyway. What it comes down to is you aren't required to have ID and it doesn't matter who you are, at least as far as store security knows.
he store was one of the biggest sellers on the east coast. You can bet your ass that every customer's receipt and contents of their bag was checked on their way out.
Well, except for any bags I might have had. I don't do bag checks and there's nothing you can do about it.
Come again? I can only verify my own vote and, if I can't do that, why should I trust the results? It doesn't mean that voting works iff you trust your vote to be counted, it's just a precondition.
Don't be so clueless - he advocated taking a vacation and seeing what happens. There's no 'or else' here, just expecting to come back and find out that something broke and nobody could fix it. OR are you saying that actually using vacation time makes you unhirable?
Sounds like you read some business advice and completely misinterpreted it. If you're irreplaceable, then you should be made replaceable if practical. If not practical, then steps should be taken to limit the scope of impact if you're hit by a bus. For instance, documenting how things are set up in the server room and what needs to be done each month/quarter/year.
before everything was online, people actually went to stores and got cds - make a IE coaster or a FF coaster and you can install a browser without having a browser.
well no, I didn't have the thing set up to be able to use BT - it was blackholed from the outside, basically. Anyway, it'd die whilst surfing random boring stuff like slashdot.
damn straight. I went from resets every 2 days to rsets every 2 months - it just chugs along. The thing that really killed my linksys gear was bittorrent - something about huge numbers of remote connections.
I don't do the us vs. them thing, but sometimes managers do. sorry you've never met a manager that needs a clue by four, but they do exist. Sometimes they thank you for saving their ass later, sometimes not.
Not really - we need management once we grow to a large enough size that communication is a problem; it's the workers who produce the product and make the value - basically, you've got things backwards. Anyway, I'm just saying that management needs to be brought round to reality - that's your job as the expert.
The words are a bit harsh, but some manglement has trouble seeing that massive changes in requirements can nullify most of the existing work; they need something more than the usual soft sell about what their changes mean. Sometimes they decide that they don't really need it that much.
Instead they could just regulate it and make it legal
Which part is legal? I could see an argument for self-produced stuff, like the 14 year old girls taking nudie pics, and possibly teenagers in general, but I'm really having trouble with the idea that this was at all legal in my lifetime (except in japan).
Granted, they might have been killed if they stayed in Europe but they were not being forced to America like criminals were being forced to Australia. Besides, we had plenty of criminals who were forced to come to America.
Not likely - the religious groups were mostly interested in making everybody follow their morality and got booted for it - basically, they were too obnoxious to be around. So they came to the US, hijacked a boat to plymouth (actually, bribed the captain or something), and set up a colony far from virginia, which is where most of the people on the boat wanted to go.

why not go to the one over by 123 in VA?

No government is basically a transient thing - as soon as one guy decides taht he should be in charge, you get a government.
But at least give me a mind of safe.
That's about all you get - 1.1 factor auth is crap compared to RSA keyfobs.

I didn't see any ultimatum there.

MS probably prefers that to allowing OEMs to ship a browser that isn't IE.

pop quiz: does making it illegal make prostitution more or less susceptible to criminal influence?

It's not consumer trash. I don't need a pro router for my home network. Also, yes it has VLANs.
My linksys started freaking out well before I did anything with BT - at most I was playing WOW.
Go get a ZyWall 2. $180 and just fucking works.

well hey, if you want to agree to the contract, then you are bound by it. I dunno what you're on about.

Terrorists also use radios and dirtbikes - hope they don't ban those too...
