Apple Macintosh System 6 and Microsoft Word For DOS are being end-of-lifed in a couple of years, so better start having planning meetings on that. You know, as long as you're at it and everything.
...and we'll all be living in that annoying-advertising scene from Minority Report.
"[Scan] [Beep] Hey, Larry Melman! Refinance now!!" "[Scan] [Beep] Viagra is now over-the-counter, Mr. Melman!" "[Scan] [Beep]Larry, buddy! Long time no see! Did you ever get that diploma? Well, now you can!"
I keep mine in this format. When people -- inevitably -- specifically request a Word-formatted resume, I rename the file from resume.html to resume.doc and send. Works like a charm.
how many politicians are going to risk re-election by saying, "OK, well, them darned terrorists won't try that again. And if they do, you guys can defend yourselves, right??"
Hm. I'd definitely vote for anyone who had that much common sense.
So all the airport security in the world, searching for box knives and zippo lighters, is only to make frightened people feel like they should be frightened, and more importantly, to take away more liberty.
Also: to make it look like they're Doing Something About It(tm). AKA looking busy. All these newly-minted petty dictators have to keep enacting new egregious violations of your libery to keep reminding you why their jobs are "needed". If they just do their jobs, they'll eventually be let go as an unneccessary and annoying expense. Instead, we get dire warnings, intoned in the most serious of voices, that fingernail clippers are not permitted. What? Ohhh, it's inconvenient and unreasonable? Izzat so? Well, why don't you tell us -- why do you hate America??
If our forefathers could see us now, we'd hide in embarrasment at the glare they'd give us. It's sickening.
The trick is to get to know what's nearby, so you have a stable of half-a-dozen places you know you can go without issue. Take some time during a few lunches to drive around more or less at random, noting what eateries there are around.
Beyond that, get your workplace used to you taking long lunches from day one. (I like to relax a bit, besides just eating.)
Not to go off on a tangent here, but lately I've been subjected to a lot of stupid pre-employment tech screening questions that follow that same stupid idea: memorizing specifics you don't need to (and shouldn't) memorize, while generally ignoring the idea of seeing what you actually can do. It's infuriating. Ferinstance: what difference does it make what error number is returned when you do a certain thing wrong? Look it up when you need it! That's what help and reference files are for, numb-nuts!
The jobs of judges and juries is not to think about it, dude -- their job is to enforce the law as written.
No. A judge's job is to interpret and reconcile the law. The jury's job is, in fact, to "think about it, dude" -- they can decide contrary to law, if they feel the law is wrong. It's an important safeguard of last resort against government abuses.
(Enforcement is the job of the Executive branch (in theory, anyway). But thanks for playing.)
If I had any mod points right now, you'd get one from me just for calling something that's ridiculous ridiculous, and simultaneously spelling ridiculous correctly.

'Nuff said.

Yes. That's what I was alluding to. Thanks, though.
After all, it is Apache server.
Anyway, it'll get a fix available likety-split. Go, OSS!
You also recieve the previous seven years' prizes in the same category, as you're the first in all that time to be eligible.
"Rice Bubbles"?
Last I checked, they were called "Rice Krispies". (Or, if avoiding trademarks, "puffed rice".) Where did "rice bubbles" come from?
Hey, you got your RFID in my DRM!
You got your DRM in my RFID!
Simple HTML.

Cripes. Sorry, had to rant.

Everything is impossible to do with 100% certainty. To say nothing of drivers keeping their cars on the road.
Anyway, let's perfect computer pilots (for both planes and cars), and it'll be a moot point.
...especially since 1THz is in the far infrared spectrum.
More machine now, than man? Twisted and evil?
Or
More a machine than a human? Idiot-savantesque with a Pinocchio complex?

Oh, how my expectations have lowered...
...we just have a higher literacy rate?

And here I've been paying for air conditioning, like a sucker!
You just invented the meme.
