While your analogy is correct, it misses the point.
I stopped and looked at it one day. in NY the sun sets on Sept.1st at about 8:30pm. without daylight that means it sets at 7:30pm The northern states would literally lose the ability to do many things they can now simply because it will get dark out in August and September, instead of October.
Evening sports, afterwork hobbies, anything that one does after 5pm(when most people stop working) will lose time to do things like mow the yard afterwork. How many things do you do in the summer after work, and how many of them require daylight to be made easier. That is daylight savings time working for you.
I would love it if we used daylight savings all year round. it would solve both problems.
Solomon's answer was the best answer available for the time. He didn't have DNA tests. So that wasn't an option. the only option he had was to see the child had the most caring parents he could. Also legal challenge is also a relatively new concept too. at least on time scales of solomon.
the nexus 1 is the only old android phone receiving updates. HTC, samsung Motorola only give you about 12 months of updates if your lucky, and very rarely bug fixes, unless you void your warranty.
Given that there are still some bricked WP7 phones out there from MSFT's last update, and something like 60% of android phones never get an update. it is damn good
rather the Earthquake Generator than Reality Distortion Field Generators. After all in order to expand apple's influence more of them have to be built. to make sure the coverage is good.
Becasue it wasn't designed to send 180 character messages, it was a a random hack a brilliant engineer figured out after the system was built to bring in extra revenue from an existing setup.
I have traveled down some roads which the GPS says are continuous state roads but are closer 4 wheeler trails. The GPS makes no claim to accuracy of the maps they provide. There is nothing quite like being out in a storm only to find out that the short cut your GPS maps show as roads are really dirt trails.
It happens far to often. It is why I don't rely on GPS. Useful yes, but in a jam I have two eyes, two ears and a brain between them
for every geek, MSFT can now patent the original form sudo and force everyone who runs sudo to pay them royalties since no one has ever bothered to patent something so obvious. but since the patent office patents peanut butter sandwiches everything is now at risk.
That woman though didn't do it to protect her baby, that woman was crazy. she took hundreds of photos of every bump and bruise her child ever received and tried to use that as abuse. Independent doctors confirmed that the only thing they found troubling was that the mother made her child sit for each one of those photos.
Crazy bitch is a perfect description of her. bi-polar and paranoid obessive compulsive also describe her well.
No it hasn't changed. if you walked down a street 200 years ago anyone could follow you and hear most of it. Or if you laid plans for a revolution at a tavern the guy drinking bear in the next table can hear everything you say.
I can't tell you the number of times I have sat at a bar, and just took mental notes of the conversations around me. it is simple to do, and a decent mental exercise.(FIltering random conversations from background noise)
The only difference it is easier to do, and people write down their conversations in the library where anyone can walk up to and read later anyways.
In my business it is often for the various layers to request quotes for parts. From the customer to the manufacturer there can be 3-6 different people involved. Most of them don't know what bcc, or reply to all are let alone how to use them.
Or even customers requesting a quote from various suppliers. Most often one name is in the TO: field while the rest are BCC:(if they know how to use it, or CC: if they don't)
while techies know the difference, I can't tell you how many times I have given a simple email lesson to my customers so that such things don't happen. They aren't all old people either some are 20-22 years old.
The big thing is your actual privacy hasn't really changed in the last 100 years. access to public information has simply gotten easier.
People never realized just how much of their "private" life was actually public. I have worked with companies that owned complete sets of phone books. Not the simple white pages you see but the $100 a volume hard cover reverse look up by phone number, or address volumes. This was public information for the last 50 years. you just had to pay for access, as it was expensive to compile into usable data. Now it is cheap to do so and so people are suddenly aware of how much of their supposedly "private" lives are actually public and they get all scared and panicky.
If you live in a glass house you don't walk around naked unless you want the neighbors to see your naked body.
Mechanics who deal with people who figured the 'little oil can light' wasn't anything serious and kept driving.
Mechanics generally draw the line at fixing the results of that for free. Yet computer repairers are often expected to do exactly that.
Mechanics also have real world expenses like the actual OIL to go into the engine.
all software is invisible and infinitely copyable with no degradation. Since 90% of computer repair is literally waiting for the software to be copied and the computer is generally only able to install one item at a time computer repair people actually spend 10 minutes to do something then wait while the software copying takes an hour.
Yes I know repair shops often do more than one job at a time for this reason. we aren't talking about at the shop, but at someone's home.

That works up to a certian point. It will force raw material price through the roof, while manufactuing gets cut out.
How does it feel to have to wait 2 years after the ipad orginially came out to finally get a decent non-apple one?
personally I find it sucks. I use mac's all the time and my iphone 3G is going strong but the ipad is to big for my uses.
So I get to wait for someone else to sell a 7-8" tablet. I am tempted to get a nook and install a good browser on it. That's all I really need anyways.

If people need to be in the same place to work how does telecommuting work?
all conversations are behind some door that is closed, that is called being inside.
Difficult people are behind every project it is called pride, get over it
Mistrust develops because one side does all the work while the other complains about it.
If GNOME isn't easy to understand then I suggest you fix your design issues. it is a GUI not a rocket ship.
if GNOME isn't easy to understand how can anyone including mark shuttle worth understand it?
The best part is the Right wing republicans have moved so far to the right that they consider obama the most massively left wing person since FDR.
I hate sliding scales. they are always wrong.
That doesn't work for people in say retail who don't get those hours. or for people at restaurants, who work regular shifts.
by forcing everyone to do it lockstep the government makes sure it actually gets done.
Because 99% of business will say you still have to work 8am to 5pm look at all the problems of doing things like telecommute.

No it wouldn't the EMP of nuclear warheads isn't much greater than the blast area.
if the data centers are in secured bunkers, then skynet will have safe havens to hide in when it launches the judgement day.
We should post the locations of these bunkers so we can make sure they are sabotaged so Skynet won't have any place to hide.
The desire and the Galaxy S are 9-12 months old.
The Droid does count but it's updates are 6-12 months behind google.
think about that. a massive virus outbreak hits(can happen to any of them) and patches won't be available for 6 months.
Apple pushes minor updates and bug fixes out every couple of months. everyone else has to wait for carrier approval.

um less than three years old by 4 months.

Wisdom is just common sense applied equally. Since common sense is pretty uncommon, there aren't many long term wise decisions.

For $150 and 2 hours I can buy windows home edition and have it installed.
So why should I pay you $150/hr to make something work that I can do in the same time for less?
So our brains are really quantum computers, that may be on, off or both.
It explains fuzzy memories, and why each person sees an event differently.
as for common sense, some people don't learn that ever.

really where?
I will buy a wifi only version of the galaxy tab right now if some one can point it out to me.
The wifi only version of the xoom isn't out yet and is suspected of having to buy a 1 month period of 3G in order to get it functional.
I have asked this question many times and no one is willing to give me an answer. Where can it be bought?
