Um. No. You're doing it wrong. The only thing my employer gets to keep control of is the company email on my phone. He can remotely delete it at any time. The rest of the phone and my own email and all the apps, data, and media on it belong to me and my employer has no way to access it. He pays half the monthly bill and any work related extra costs like roaming when I travel for work. Seems fair.
"Weed directly leads to situations where a persons safety is compromised" - Weed directly leads to my couch, Star Trek re-runs and cool ranch Doritos. Not sure my safety is all that compromised.
A couple of points - Back in the late 70's we used to get really good quality red-hair sensimillia which had very high THC content, probably as high as today's favorites. The old hippies that grew the stuff on Lasqueti Island had already been growing since the mid 60s and they knew exactly what they were doing. One joint of sens might get shared with three guys; if we were smoking regular stuff we'd smoke 2 or 3 joints. The THC dose was the same.
In any case the hysteria over "today's super strong pot" is a bit like saying whiskey is worse than wine because it has more alcohol. If the weed is stronger you smoke less. And, hey, smoking less is good, right?
The Apple Music player app on IOS used to be at least usable. Now I have to google to figure out how to turn shuffle on and off. Everything is obscure and hidden where it used to be at least semi obvious. Controls are tiny when they used to be big enough for even my sausage fingers on a small screen,
1976 - Our high school ran time shared BASIC on a PDP-8. We wrote a program that would read in a program source file, and randomly replace one or two zeros with letter O, commas with semi colons and round brackets with square brackets. Not all of them, just a few. Drove our well deserving victims nuts.
How do their algorithms take into account me phoning three days before my trip to Canada to tell them I'm going to Canada, and them still freezing the card as soon as I try to make my first purchase?
You don't have to be rich or be traveling abroad to experience this. I put down a deposit for renting a fishing cabin for 2 days on a lake 200 miles upcountry. The same day I was trying to buy gas at home with a credit card and the transaction got flagged and i had to call the card company before the gas purchase could be completed.
I was going to ask how many pilots in the whole US Air force weigh less than 135 lbs, and then it occurred to me that this was just a way of keeping women out of their "no girls allowed" fighter jock club.
I see a whole lot of humungous F550 whatchamacallit pick up trucks (what are they picking up? Grand pianos? Elephants?) at the park and ride. I assume thereby that most of them are not serious heavy haul work trucks, but daily commuting vehicles.
It wasn't A CLOCK IN A BRIEFCASE. It was a small pencil case. See picture here http://www.thisnext.com/item/A.... To be fair, the picture from the cops doesn't give much scale. It is in fact the perfect case for a small electronic project. Also, why does A CLOCK IN A BRIEFCASE frighten you so much?
He built a digital clock. It looks just like the one I built in electronics class when I was in high school. Only somebody who has seen way too many cheesy movies thinks that digital clock = bomb. I agree that cops might be stupid enough. It could be a bomb trigger. All that was missing was a detonator. Oh wait, the teacher's cell phone could be a bomb trigger too if you added a detonator. Cell phones are often used as bomb triggers. Why didn't the cops haul the teacher off in cuffs too?
This is in Toronto. The interlocking signal plants were built before WWII and are still in service. One day they will be replaced with a computer based control system, but they aren't quite done yet.
US&S DN11 shelf mount vital relays. Built in 1928 or so. Giant rooms full of them. Racks floor to ceiling and wall to wall. Cherry Street, John Street, Scott Street interlocking plants. Still running all the signals at TTR.

So tell us, O wise Chas, what do you use instead of Outlook/Exchange/Lync?
No. The little bastards have abnormally large heads.

When will humans be able to handle roundabouts? Because where I live not many people are smart enough to successfully navigate roundabouts.

A classic trick, but hardly new.
If Womyn can have Herstory, then they can get hersterical, have hersterectomies and take antiherstamines. Right?

So who is driving all the giant hemi powered 4x4 3/4 ton $75k pick-up trucks that fill the roads around here?

Three biggest lies of a Cowboy :
I won the buckle in a rodeo.
The truck's paid for.
I was just helping the sheep over the fence.

We should get them working on Fusion, not Fission. That's still 25 years away.
Yes, be melodramatic. Thalidomide killed about 40% - 50% of affected children.
