How long until stores want you to give a urine sample before using the bathroom?
LOL, I'd rather piss at their manager's leg like a dog!:-)
obUrinetest: It's bad enough that it is legal for an employer to demand a urine sample and other stuff belonging to one's privacy. I'd never work in such an asshole company!
I never submit any personal data to any company if it is not really required for the business I have with this company. I don't see why I should change this policy for biometrical data.
Quit the idiocy to put the PSU in an extra box! So all you need is the normal 230 V current and the standard power cords. And we could have real power switches instead of standby-buttons again.
How exactly would selling drugs to willing buyers (a felony in some circumstances) be ignoring the rights of others?
You ignore the rights of a long, long line of assholes like a certain H. Anslinger. What right? Oh, yeah, the right to tell other people how they should live their life.
Meanwhile I wonder when the first auction for a place in a trailer park for flying cars will show up (analogous to the WLAN cable that was "sold" on ebay).
not allowed to create any copy protection circumvention mechanisms
LOL, at first I misread this as "not allowed to create any copy protection mechanisms", what would be really useful. Luckily I groked my mistake before I started to migrate myself from.de to.au.:-)
On one hand, they talk about having to pay a small fee, but the only numbers they talk about are $9 or $19/month, which are neither even near the small fee they talk about.
No, it's the managers. They don't want you to be able to charge and connect your cell phone with one standard cable to any other device you want. They want you to have to buy one insanely overpriced cable from them for each kind of connection.
No offense to see here, so no reason for a warning.
The simple fact was that the kids weren't supposed to have them in class, regardles of reason or classification.
"Weren't supposed" by whom or what? Nobody tells my kid what it has to have in his/her pockets, as long as it does not disturb class, is illegal or else!
not to silence the devices
An official rule to silence the devices, and confiscation of not silenced ones until closing time is one thing. Confiscation because of idiots who think only dealers have cellphones is another. I would support the former and impede the latter.
I guess there was a time when the equipment had the reputation of being used either by businesspeople or drug dealers.
That's simply laughable. If I had a kid that came home and told me that a teacher had confiscated his legal possessions because of its "reputation", I'd make it clear to this person that (s)he won't do this again or face the consequences of stealing from my kid!
Thanks, I was perfectly aware of that, as it is almost impossible. But the sentence "Not wooden-covered, but a real wooden one" says just that, so I wanted to point out this error.
How did they do the PCB, CPU, harddisk and so on? What does it run on (wood is not conductible, so electric current won't work)? And htf did they bring wood to emit photons without burning it?
I mean, 30,000 employees volunteered to take a temporary pay cut so no one would have to be laid off.
There was no need for layoffs. The 30k idiots who agreed to work for less did this although the company just made a three digit millions (IIRC ~ 750 M)revenue.
Or, more precise: 30K idiots who permitted a bitch to talk them into working for less money while giving not a cent of her own 40M income away.
Why bother with implanting it or having to go to the hairdresser for an upgrade? Buy all microwire clothes, make your wardrobe a SAN! The clothes you are wearing carry the subset of your data that you need on this day. Great!
btw, the shigawire is a monomolecular metallic fiber, grows inside of some twine. Can be used to cut your head off or store more information than inside your head. (IIRC what the Dune Encyclopedia says)

ROTFL, I wasn't talking about utter morons!
Use it for bribes and other things being neccessary that the next series does not suck like ENT and hopefully can tie up to the quality of TNG.

Phencyclidine?
I know how to install RAM
:-)
What's there to know when the task is simply plugging a DIMM in a slot? Dude, it is 2005, it's been really a while since this task required skill.
They first get people interested in the 'low density' variant
How would they do this, as capacities larger than 1 TB are the only interesting feature?

A person's definition of "small fee" tends to increase along with disposable income.
I know, and because of that I always check such stuff against Joe Average's disposable income. And FTPOV, neither $9 nor $19 / month are small.
You don't believe the MeetUp fee is money well spent?
That is irrelevant in matters of the fee being small or not.
On one hand, they talk about having to pay a small fee, but the only numbers they talk about are $9 or $19/month, which are neither even near the small fee they talk about.
Can someone please clear this up for me?
WTF? The only trolling I can see is moderating the parent a Troll!

What on earth have drugs and cellphones/pagers in common except that both are used by people?
I take it from your post that no one has ever done this to you?
You ask as if it was quite normal, not something very exceptional (unless you are exceptionally rich/famous/handsome).
C'm on, such a thing would be very remarkable, even for the womanizers under my buddies!
- prevent me from "using" the content anytime and anywhere I want in any way I want
- prevent me from selling what I bought like I can do with a DVD
- prevent me from making a full copy
- track my usage in any way
