I found out after being unable to work...most resumes are faked to some extent...and what I always did was conveniently ignore any bad happenings. Most companies won't give information on former employees because of legal liabilities....hey, I bet you had to stop working temporarily because of family problems.
And Absence Without Leave...desertion...last time I checked, was a felony. So, no, our good, grand, honest Pres. Bush (whose driving records are sealed in the family library for the next 50 years)...could never have done that. I mean, this guy's so cool, he's worried about same-sex marriages.
...But how many times do you have to tell people to not open attachments unless they're SURE? For some people, you can't repeat it enough. They don't get it, apparently actually because they don't want to. If you can explain that one...I'd be delighted!
And exactly *how* are they going to empirically validate results of the love detector?...And even Christ didn't reply when that fun-loving (and perhaps existent) Roman official asked, "What is truth?" As far as any 'lie detector' goes, it's approximately as empirically valid as guessing...h'm. I guess it is guessing, at that.
...And as a matter of fact nearly anything can be turned into a hot car. Rebuild the engine and raise compression. Improve gas/air flow. Change gears in the rear end. I suspect some early Volvos are probably for instance hopeless...but then again engines can be changed.
As far as a car that looks like...(whatever); ever checked out the American Chopper on Discovery? People build (cars, skyscrapers, undoubtedly the Statue of Liberty and anything else they can imagine) out of Legos. Hobbies are hobbies. As long as he doesn't forget and try to fly, he should be fine. And that the reactions will vary from admiration to hysterical laughter...hey, best of all worlds.
Considering the evolution of operating systems (few people miss DOS, which almost wasn't an OS because the average user couldn't even set up the startup batch and the hardware file)...it was nearly inevitable that Darwinian evolution occur. I remember one system I tried that would allow a duplication of the files of the directory somehow; it disappeared. So a few survived.
Security is actually based on the true form of Murphy's Law; what can happen will. The 'go wrong' results from unforeseen possibilities. There is no simple answer to security on the Internet other than cancelling it because it's too much of a security risk. Any IT professional (who actually does something and isn't just management) will cheerfully state that there is no foolproof system. And a 'digital Pearl Harbor'--mind you, it should happen on Christmas--will most likely result from the government, and quite likely from an attempt to impose security restrictions that are at best beside the point and most likely impede the use of whatever systems are involved.
But I do believe in George Bush, Dog, and our right to be policemen of the world's virtues.
...and then, from what I've seen, have a man set it up. And then, from what I've seen, the man (embarassed and secretively)...calls someone who MIGHT know what they're doing.
Philip K. Dick would have been overjoyed at this. Words are the biggest parts of any sale, and certainly of any sales campaign. But let's not use the competitors' words; that would be tantamount to saying that there's really not a whole h*ll of a lot of difference between (and users need to have SOMETHING to brag about). Whether or not the words actually connect to anything real is an outdated concern. What about the dot com boom where the biggest thing was, well, just BEING THERE. And certainly the gurus--most especially Microsoft (well, and Apple, of course)--would never sell anything that was of the order of the king's new robe. We're making progress! even if we're not quite sure where, what, or how. This IS new computing. We're just not quite sure...well, what we're doing.
The true problem with copy protection schemes for audio is that it can be circumvented by simply recording.wav files. At one point I had a tape deck for transport of analog audio files to cd; using an old-fashioned receiver with a monitor slot allows this--and the reverse. DRM in this medium only prevents the lazy and uninformed...although in the AV medium sidestepping copy protection schemes would seem to be a bit more difficult.
I read a while back--about a year ago--that cell phones can be used for tracking even while turned off. I believe that supposedly this capability is only in the hands of the authorities (which should reassure us all). Most new vehicles also come with tracking systems as well.
This is probably less about subject matter than about call centers. Typically, personnel in a call center are poorly paid and poorly informed about the subject matter (pears and plants are basically the core materials of my experience) and worse-informed (and -served) by whatever computer/software system involved...and I seem to recall a study indicating that this is probably THE highest-stress job outside of emergency services. Because companies want to pay poorly, they also oddly enough get either poorly-motivated people or those who have psychological problems--in my case, for instance, PTSD. (Sidenote: being aware of a problem DOESN'T necessarily mean you can change it significantly.) As far as IT personnel getting in on things, this is always mediated by a pyramidal structure of authority and thus the 'end product'--customer service, say--has been translated by those who aren't IT types and couldn't be (well, one hopes; complete idiots are the type I mean). More than that, this is an age where information-access is valued in and of itself as a privilege, which means that someone with a fishy eye would be looking at any script provided by IT types to make sure that not too much information will be given to anyone, whether employee or customer. At which point I'd hardly dare name the company...publicly. Some idiot oregonnerd@hotmail.com might, though.

Snail Mail Tech
·
· Score: 1
And it wasn't no dam' generation ago that it was snail mail and telephone, dammit, unless I'm from a generation ago...which makes me a VERY active ghost.
...And money is in fact merely information, for that matter. The best way to reply to the spammers would be either an account designed sheerly, merely and purely for spam--or an invalid one...IF we could manage to organize something. Given that about two hundred people total actually are responsible for all of the spam, this is reasonable; if it isn't factual (the report about 200 people being originators) this would require something like forwarding/sharing spam...and we're getting into something a bit complex here. However, the original idea has some merit; coordination is likely to be a bi...oops, bad language. Hard, guys, hard. G
I have to admit I find the idea of sound without atmosphere a bit suspect. As well, the comment here is quite valid; the 'laws' we're accustomed to came to be at some moment after said Big Bang. Of course, there's also the tree-in-the-forest argument. On the whole, the "hum" might be a "h'mmm" from the cognoscentia...or whatever those misguided intellectuals without public affirmation like degrees might be called. Of course, intellectuals without what might be called sanguinity probably wouldn't read the article anyway...
If you navigate over to pcmag.com (for anyone who still doesn't know; IE; type 'pcmag'--sans quotes, of course--in the address bar, press CTRL+ENTER and it adds the rest) and look at The Future of Technology--go to the comparisons section and click--about four stories in you'll see OLED tech. There's of course also other interesting stuff (20 subjects). Most likely it's one of the technologies mentioned in first-off-the-shelf (and therefore something I wouldn't buy) phase...
If your brain is as big as your vocabulary, you know quite a bit of nano-technology, I mean...incorporate it. And as far as feeding your mind, I suspect you visit porn sites. It's also totally surprising you decided to remain anonymous.
I agree. I also think that Macintosh is going to be the choice once Palladium and related anti-copy procedures come into effect, particularly since (as commented variously) the technology could (and "could" generally equals "will", from hacking to political actions) be used to control content as well as vehicle.

Since politicians are complete idiots...why not a breathalyzer built into the keys? and they evaporate if you don't pass...
Oh, yes. I'm particularly attached to the vibrating ones. But my physician tells me the glue should wear off soon...

It simply boogles...I mean boggles...the mind. I wonder how many variations one could cum up with for Google.

Actually, after he's been knighted, they'll probably make him part of the royal family. Cupidity, after all, is the essential part of royalty, right??
