Your government is defective. Huge budget deficits, stealing from local cities and counties and flawed regulations being rammed through the legislative process.
Living here, I vote we rip up the state's constitution and start fresh. The first step is ousting the assholes currently in charge.
Well, and for you to enter your login information.
Common sense dictates that you don't follow links from your email to anything financial; you either type it in yourself or you use a bookmark. I know my bank and credit cards don't send me links to click, but even if they did I wouldn't use them.
I don't meant to deride the director of such an important agency, but seriously? He has more to worry about from targeted attacks than phishing attempts.
Nothing would please me more than to walk out every time a manager made a dumb decision which I spoke out against.
Except I like to eat. My daughter likes to eat too, and is particular to having a roof over her head ( children today. When I was her age, I had to sleep in the snow, BOTH WAYS. And I liked it, by god ).
Having been a part of a team that designed a truly horrid product, I know how it can be. We told the manager over and over again that the specs were conflicting. Sometimes they required us to break the laws of physics. Yet it was your standard PHB type; make the customer happy. So we did what we could given the constraints, and we birthed upon the world an abomination. Individually, we were all competent techs. Together, we worked great as a team. Yet it took a single manager to take all of our combine talent and flush it straight down the toilet.
We prefer to call them "CEOs". And we know they can still learn once promoted, we constantly get idiotic requests from them which we all know comes from a golf buddy or vendor.
Solution; none. There is no product out there that will meet all four requirements.
It now falls to you to decide what your priority is. Given that you need to stay in contact because of business concerns, I'd guess you'd make the following priorities
1) Reliable 2) Low latency for voip purposes 3) Enough bandwidth for voip/email/image uploads 4) Available everywhere.
If that's the case, then the obvious answer is to simply NOT travel anywhere without 3g coverage. No other solution you are going to find will match your requirements otherwise.
Having used touch screens for a variety of applications, I'm having a hard time envisioning it's use in a home environment. We're all used to the precision offered by a mouse, and no one wants a touch screen TV.
It would take a radically new appliance to thrust touch technology in to the lime light.
...but aren't we talking about private property owned by private private companies?
I don't want my traffic shaped one way or another, BUT allowing the government this kind of power is a dangerous road. If the government wanted the internet to be free of these kind of controls, doesn't it make sense for them to OWN the infrastructure so they can make the rules? As apposed to forcing the rules down the throat of a company?
I value lower government interference over funky tubes any day.
So...tv networks decide on their own what to show and no show. This effects me how, exactly? They'll still kill intelligent shows in favor of the window-licker specials, so why do I care?
Obviously, this is aimed at the same retards that call themselves audiophiles and spend obscene amounts of money on wooden stand offs because it makes the noise sound "warmer".
That said, I'm going to order two.:p I can't help it if I've got a thing for mice and stationary.
If nothing else, I think we can all agree that it costs money to create this content.
Of dispute is how to make money off of this investment. Murdoch seems to think his content is worth more than he's able to acquire from ad funds. As history has shown, this will likely backfire on him.
But maybe not. Maybe he can squeeze his customers enough to make this plan work. All the luck for him, but I don't think this will work.
The premise that because someone's purpose for using Office 20 years ago is relevant to today's office use is, frankly, moronic.
There are literally millions of ways people use the Office suite, and I'd hazard a guess that the printability of their work is a nice feature, but not the primary reason.
The gaming industry is a multiBILLION dollar industry. If the studies they've done indicate that more people will buy the white male thing, then that's what they sell.
Is it PC? No. Does that matter when making money? No.
How about the anti-appreciation we get the rest of the year?
"Come on, all you do all day is play on the internet anyway" "It's not like you guys don't read my email" "What do you mean you won't fix my home computer?" "You nerds are all alike, all technical skill no personality"
Besides, it's not as if secretaries, maintenance workers and bosses don't already have their own day. ( April 21, Oct 2, Oct 16 )
Nature has been doing this far longer than we have, and as such it is far more efficient at squeezing power out of more systems than we yet realize. As such, any time we find a new source of power, you can damn well bet nature has gotten there first, and that our exploitation of said power will have negative consequences for the species already using it.
So please, save us the happy happy "Green power" routine.
I have no illusions to my expendability. Rather, I know my worth and know that there will always be a job for someone of my experience, skill and adaptability.

All term limits do is strengthen party affiliations, instead of individuals.
Is that any better than the alternative? I can't say.

A little knowledge goes a long way.

"When your older, cheaper hardware is better and more able than your new offering, you need to fire some designers."
No, you need to fire the managers who gave the specifications to the designers.
We prefer to call them "CEOs". And we know they can still learn once promoted, we constantly get idiotic requests from them which we all know comes from a golf buddy or vendor.
Depends on the customer's expectation. For most of my customers, any latency over 250ms is considered unacceptable.
Product requirements;
- Decent latency
- Decent bandwidth
- Available everywhere
- Reliable
Solution; none. There is no product out there that will meet all four requirements.

I'm picturing a lot of drooling, head banging and padding.
Kind of like my senior year in high school.
This being slashdot, and slashdot being what it is, I think you meant autistic.
The problem is the article failed to make this relevant to anyone; what does it matter who does the ratings?

- This story stinks!
- The OP is full of shit!
- I get shitty service on my phone now!
I'll show myself out.

Stupid argument.

Step 2: General controversy over game
