If asked by someone to delete photo's then happily do so, spend time to show them and be utterly convincing that you are complying with them.
Now if you want to continue taking photo's be sure to switch the memory card for a new one first. Its important not to take any more photo's with the orignal memory card.
When you get home, use a card reader and some undelete software to get your images. Everybody (Relatively) happy.
Well 10 years ago It worked a bit like this:
Phone dialling software will ring more numbers that it has customer service reps available at once, once customer picks up it will determine if there is a customer services rep to speak to the customer, if not, it will disconnect aka Ghost Call.
So call centre with 50 people, will usually have 2-3 people just finished a call at any time. System rings ahead 10(or some defined amount) numbers to make sure that the call centre staff are not hanging around. The Cust Service Rep does not know who is dialled until the call is patched through to them, along with the customers details popped up on screen "Hello Mr , we are calling you about your outstanding balance of " etc.
The article reeks of Marketing squalk. Lots of hype and worlds longer than marmalade, lot of Wow and fizz, but not much substance. No wonder it's on MTV.
If there was something interesting to say about the product, don't you think they would have mentioned that instead of "behind-the-scenes video" and "jam packed with celebs"?
When a Mareketing Manager is "ecstatic about our alliance with MTV" instead of ecstatic about the product. I begin to doubt. Is it me or does this article give off vibes of overhyping to compensate for a poor product?
Its not simply the words that are used in a mail, but the way they are used (the order) that gives a sentence its meaning.
for example Two Emails:
1 (ham) "You have won a brand new Convertible, from the competition you entered."
and
2 (spam) "A brand new convertible to be won, have you entered?"
Ham would match about 80% with spam.
Word matching is a blunt instrument as mentioned. The English language is far too complex for simple calculations, this fact should be taken into consideration, when applying a 'Spam Likelihood' rating to Emails.
PC bangs, succecssors to Nora Bang, and BiDio Bang

PC Baangs In America

· Score: 3, Interesting
Norabang = Karaoke Room Bidio Bang = Video room (rent a DVD and watch it there and then)
Bidio-bang Never caught on overseas. And while Karaoke came and died in the west, it remains an oriental sensation (I can only talk for Japan and Korea).
Similarily, I dont think the PC Bangs (somebody change that name plEase) won't last long in the US.
Three steps to failure.
1, Their profit margin is too low, cut maintenance costs. 2, They will start to look run down and become scary places, 3, Kids won't want to go there.
I must admit after spending 18 months in LA. I HAD to use news.bbc.co.uk for news, and cnet.com and epinions.com for reviews of products/prices.
The alternatives were horrendous, CNN was just so sensationalist that it made ITN look serious. Ditto the majority of news services. Anyway for sheer convenience and control of what I am reading, the Internet has an easy win.
As for shopping,shop staff were generally useless (except at Fry's, bless 'em), newspaper advertising never gave enough details. Magazines only reviewed new products, not the end of line stock that is so attractively priced in the stores.
Finally, erm, having no friends over there didn't help either.
If this turns out to be a scientific tool that determins what poeple like, not only will it drive advertising campaigns, but ultimately they will apply the same techniques to determine product design.
So, what we will get is products designed for maximum retail revenue. This means that products for a niche market, or innovative and new products could lose their place on the shelves for more 'Neuroligically proven winners'.
Who gets the blame when the robot commits a crime?
Imagine hacking one of these to clean a house out of its valuables, is sure brings new meaning to the phrase Cyber Crime.
Meanwhile, 'Downtown' after its caught walking out of your apartment with your DVD player, the question is who would it call with its 'One Phone Call'? Technical Support?!
One thing I have noticed over the years is that a company will not promote someone, unless they are already doing that job.
I.e. you aren't made System Manager unless you have been practically managing that system anyway while being a 'Tech Support Analyst'.
Dressing up shows your (sad) employers that you look appropriate for other roles (Team Leader, Management). And with the industry at its current state, I will gladly 'dress up' if it helps me land a job title where I dont have to redefine my skills every 2 years or face being replaced by a graduate.
Playing the game, is another phrase for it. Sad, but at least where I am, true.
Not only do these glass panels look upgradeable, the dont use reusable components, and in these days we know technology doesn't stand still, so whats the point in etching it in glass?
Somehow, I have the feeling that in the future it will be make cheap yet efficient PC Boards and cheap LCD screens that will be the norm, as opposed to n-Bit x-Mhz Car Windscreens.
Fraud is part of Ebay's culture, just some people take it to extremes more than others.
Anyone who uses ebay for more than 3 months knows about sniping, then they sign up to auctionstealer or other sniping site to join the fun. Then they snipe on the newbies and give them a start on the bitterness ladder. Okay it's not Fraud but it starts people thinking of ways to 'beat the system'. Anger leads to hate, etc...
Others start selling becuase their co-workers are selling. Before you know it, they are shill-biding on each others auctions once they see someone biding passionately and wildly. Its common practice.
Then there are other sellers that take poetic license and describe goods using vague but attractive terminology, 'virtually new', or 'must be seen' to be believed. They know that some gullible people are afraid to leave negative feedback, because a evil seller will retort with the same. (Oh, the shame of having a minus on your record!)
Most people who use Ebay for long enough, learn the tricks of the trade. It polices itself, which implies Fraud must be committed before it can be reported.
You can only prevent fraud by controlling auctions tightly, then the whole 'neighbourhood policing' aspect of the software goes away, which is worth more to Ebay in goodwill than losing a few customers over fraud.
...as they are peddling a product which forbids them to read the site correctly. It's not Southwest's fault that the product cant handle their site, is it?
We can't expect to have to QA our sites through some 3rd party 'web to spoken word' utility, to keep this disability watchdog happy. That's as pathetic as having to translate every web page to Spanish, as its discriminiating against the Spanish speaking community.

How about making it NOT rain?
This can only Economic predictions are based on a sample on people who "download free software onto their computer".
Not exactly a random distribution of the populous, is it?
They are already restricting the data this software collects, as its source of data pertains to a specific sample base:
1, (PC) Computer owners
2, Home Users
3, The type of fool that downloads something willy nilly on their computer.
Given this conditions, the survey base could not really exceed 50% of the range of population. Therefore can really only be 50% accurate.
(yes I pulled the 50% out my head, based on my survey of my coworkers).
