Doesn't anyone remember the Palm Treo? They also sat on their laurels and blew it, long before Blackberry. In fact, their unorganized notes was so bloody good, I have yet to find as good list creator since.
Interestingly, the Playbook suffered the same critical failure as the Palm Folio: they forgot what business they were in. Their job was to make money. Instead, in both cases, some genius decided that the Plabook/Folio would exist to sell phones. The result was a crippled laptop.
By the way, I use the Treo sounds on my iPhone. If anyone wants the audio files, contact me.
Obviously, he needs to be removed from his super-duper secret duties if the possibility of blackmail is significant but let's hope the poor fellow gets straightened out. Gambling is so terrible because first you go through disposable money, then the milk money and finally the money to which you have access but is not yours. My grandfather lost a house thanks to cards and horses; a friend's marriage broke up because her husband's business partner was a gambler. One day the fellow went to work and found his own office padlocked because his partner's gambling debts.
I hope it works out for the guy.
Now what about Kermit and ZTerm?

I'm still waiting for these to get to beyond V0.99!
That was one part of the equation, but a bank crisis, crop failures, and stock market collapse also created the conditions for the Great Depression. Unless you're saying that Smoot-Hawley Act was the cause of those as well, in which case you're ascribing magical powers to it.
Truthfully, if any hub of communication on the continent was going to exploited and counter-expoited, it would be the trunks and infrastructure running into and out of Belgium. SHAEF is there and lots of other stuff. I wonder what will be unearthed about the Russians in Belgium?
The skills nevermind conception of social media would have been as it is, to undo the newspapers and replace it... no functioning business model. The publisher is looking at the technology and saying 'We should have done that' and is looking at the impact but forgetting that the world view to create those social media technologies is a different skill set.
He should go have a long lunch with someone from the record industry.
How about this: Use some sort of friggin' judgement rather than treating everyone like criminals? Let us look at other countries that have literally generations of experience dealing with terrorism -- the UK, France, Spain, Germany -- and they don't have everyone lining up to drop their trousers. People who don't want to be humiliated and have their privacy respected are a *problem*? This is right out of one of Yossarian's conversations with the psychologist from Catch-22.
"You have deep-seated survival anxieties. And you don't like bigots, bullies, snobs, or hypocrites. Subconsciously there are many people you hate."
"Consciously, sir, consciously," Yossarian corrected in an effort to help. "I hate them consciously."
"You're antagonistic to the idea of being robbed, exploited, degraded, humiliated, or deceived. Misery depresses you. Ignorance depresses you. Persecution depresses you. Violence depresses you. Corruption depresses you. You know, it wouldn't surprise me if you're a manic-depressive!"
This is blog-itis. No, really. The phones these days are so bloody wonderful that apart from adding a Fleshlight and 3D holograms, what the heck else do you want. This is a 64-bit hand-held device with an amazing display and good battery life that reads porn to you. People "complaining" about the top end phones are manufacturing criticisms about minor issues of the mountain-from-a-molehill variety.
Tell me what specifically this (or any other phone of its calibre) is missing that is so wrong? The columnist is saying he's not jazzed by the recent unveiling. So what? Does he mean like most product announcements like cars, televisions and airplanes? How is this Apple's/Google's fault? These are now mature products that, like cars, will differ in the fenders but not in the operation.
They don't want shops to ever close. In fact, if a shop is closed they'll break in.
Seriously, Republicans are all for market regulation -- of the ability to prevent people from organizing, or to insulate companies from some types of market pressures such as environmental impact laws, they want to be able to bedevil their competition with lawsuits but force their customers into binding arbitration.
You see, they believe in irregular tense constructions.
The difference was how aggressively Apple would move on. Remember the iPod Mini? It had a year on its competing products when Apple killed in June 04 or was it 05 when they announced the flash-based Nano and the shuffle. Really, they killed their most popular product to change the lead time from a year to at least two or three years. That's a company that runs and has a very different definition of "milk it for all they're worth and move on."
I agree that I think Apple should stay in the top tier and most profitable zone leaving everyone else to go for the other price points but they're not listening to me. I think the phone and computer market will increasingly resemble the car or camera market.
We built the largest military alliance in history, and built a massive fleet of weapons capable of destroying all life on the planet because we said that the idea that you could live in a state where you had no privacy was inherently wrong.
As an aside, this is truly amazing technology. In case you're interested, look up how the acceleration and braking is controlled for a smooth ride. It's ethernet all the way down the trains for very small on the fly adjustments for ride smoothness.
This may be PR of course. However, assuming that this is true, and given how it is coming at a spectacularly bad week, it's timeliness makes me suspicious. However, this is the sort of stuff we want our spooks to catch not deploy a dragnet over our own society.
"This e-mail is about my _________ concerns. It is my understanding that I am not funded to replace _________ with the latest version due to budget concerns. As such, I will leave _________ at its current version, ___ until it is reviewed during _________. If this is incorrect, please reply."
I would imagine that only US citizens can apply to work for the CIA -- there may be the odd expert from other NATO countries but forget that for now -- which means that one fifth of the candidate pool of US citizens who apply is someone 'suspicious.'
Well, I'd imagine most of the applicants are in the US military, engineers who have drifted into the military projects, and various academics and non-academic experts. Um, one in five of THOSE is a risk? How are you defining risk? Or is every Arabic speaker, brown person, someone who was ever on the university debating club a potential terrorist?
This is biology 101: you need risk tolerance otherwise if you choose your candidates from too narrow a pool --- say all military -- you risk weakening the working pool. Why? You need outliers to gain perspective otherwise you end up like that British newsman Reginald Bosanquet who struggled reading foreign names on TV each night. I understand that people who are in the military are generally of an authoritarian mindset and right wing, and agree with it as that's sorta what you need to be surviverable as a soldier in combat and likely this is the primary candidate group for the CIA but for policy, economic, cultural and scientific work, you necessarily choose from a broader group of people.

I'm shocked and appalled.

...it's called a snake.
1) Passive-aggressive "humble bragging".
2) Parents fishing for compliments.
3) Look at my cat

Surely it had to be said!

Hahaha. Just had to say it.
I gather it was heading downward.

I guess he had space to fill.

Think about how dumb the average person is. Then realize that half the population is dumber than that.
Just curious.

Well, actually that's a very good question to start a course. If the instructor doesn't know your level of knowledge is, is just plain common sense.
Who is the arrogant prick again?

But I can't find a single typewriter in any antique shops any more.
No, really.
