pissed off that it's language is no longer considered the "lingua franca" for global commerce.
Don't you mean "langue franque"?
Seriously though, French hasn't been the lingua franca since WWII. 60 years is a long time to be pissed off about something and waiting to do something about it.
Yes, no, and doesn't matter. At least for all my employers as well as the employers for my friends and family that I know off. Granted everyone work some form of a white collar job. I've been called several times for jury duty and actually served once. The one time that I served, several people were excused due to financial hardship. While federal law prohibited the employers from firing the individual for jury duty, they didn't have to compensate them either. For the one person I remember best, she was a waitress at a short order diner. Several days without tips would have really screwed her financially and so she was excused.

Amazon doesn't own Paypal, eBay or Skype. eBay owns Paypal, but no longer controls even a majority of Skype. Skype is also in the process of being completely spun off with it's own IPO.
I've actually owned 3 iPod Touches and 3 or 4 other iPods over the years. I'm not a huge fan of Apple in general but for iPods, they clearly have a very successful product and I don't have a problem with that. I was simply pointing out the double standard where Sony is criticized for having "features" that were not consumer friendly when many competing products were much more consumer friendly...but when Apple does it there isn't a problem?
And, IMHO, fails miserably, because Sony builds products that screw the user. For example: laptops that can't have additional memory installed. Cameras that use an expensive proprietary flash card format. Consider the latter issue: what benefit does using the Sony flash memory format bring to the user? None whatsoever -- it just increases the cost of using the product.
Sony design is full of fail.
Can't the similar be said about Apple? Does the iPhone even have a memory card slot when almost all of their smartphone competition does? No. Are any ipod/ipad/iphone batteries user replaceable? No. Apple design fail. Right?
Just shoot the assholes like these and let the other animals learn from that.
The death penalty hasn't worked to deter extremely violent crimes. If it doesn't work for the scum of the earth, why do you think it would work for an even lower life form?
Yes. Trend Micro's beef with the issue is not that Microsoft has the security suite, but that it's including it in Windows Update. Given a choice between just "updating" your machine to install the security suite and forcing people to go search for other options, people are going to go with the update. Further, by putting it in with the updates it gives people the sense that they need it as part of a fully patched system, when it's not necessary and there are competing products that may be better.
Umm, the internet was designed to be a redundant communications network to keep military bases connected. It was to address the concern that a nuclear war would knock out communication to underground bunkers at the Pentagon, Cheyenne Mountain, and SAC HQ.
You should have read farther in the History of the Internet wikipage. The Internet that we know today evolved out of multiple independent networks that were interconnected over time. The initial functioning network nodes I believe is generally considered to be ARPANET. While it was funded by the defense department, it was not interconnecting military bases. It was for communications between academic locations such as MIT, UCSB, UCLA, Stanford, etc with military research facilities. Initially ARPANET wasn't designed be redundant/fault tolerant but that capability was added over time to allow the network to function should several nodes become inaccessible.
It was never envisioned to be a commercial or entertainment vehicle.
The internet that you describe stopped existing nearly two decades ago. What exists today owes it's heritage to those early networks, but not to it's original design intent. It would be like someone saying that using a computer today isn't what the inventor of the vacuum tube envisioned.
just a quick message and an easily identifiable word within it.
Who said anything about quick? 5 second ad, maybe I would tolerate it. But I imagine initially they will be short but progressively lengthen as people get use to them to epic advertising miniseries where the ad is longer then the video you wanted to watch.
My wife locks me out every time she accesses our bank account. Our credit union has implemented a new "security" feature where the account number and password remembers the cadence that you enter the information. If the cadence doesn't match, it rejects it. I type a lot faster then she does, so my cadence is never even close to what her's is.
his point deserves some honest thought and debate.
I'll give some honest thought and debate as soon as the Pope gives honest thought and debate on women in the church, contraception, sanctity of marriage, pedophiles I mean priests who have abused children for decades that the church continues to protect/hide/shuffle around, evolution, etc etc etc.
You have got to find at least SOME irony in someone telling us that we need to be careful differentiating reality vs virtual that technology presents to us, but just to believe everything that The Church (or any religious institution for that matter) presents to us as the gospel truth (pun intended).
Ask Microsoft how they can do it. That's exactly what they do. You have to be a gold subscriber in order to use the Netflix app/dashboard/whatever you call it on 360.
Read the fine article. For the city in question, a ton of recyclables sold yields almost as much revenue as a ton of trash buried yields in expense.
I'm trying to remember how the local system here in Austin is working out -- IIRC it's not meeting revenue projections at the moment, but that's principally because they're shipping the recyclables so far to be processed; after a local single-stream facility comes online, projections indicate that recycling should be a fairly profitable endeavor for the city.
I did RTFA. I was just commenting on my own local circumstances. In the past the revenues from selling the recyclables ALMOST covered the cost of running the recyclables program. The city just awarded a new contract that will charge ~25/ton to bury garbage vs $20/ton to recycle it. It's the first time in 20 years that the city has had a recycling program that it's cost less to recycle then to bury.
I don't know how common it is, but my cities recycling program costs more on a per-ton basis to collect, sort, and sell to recyclers then what it costs to just bury it. While it may be better for the environment to recycle, until the price difference decreases or flips, what advantage is there to recycle when it ends up costing even more?
So if you combine all these, you end up with intimidation being a severely punishable offence if the person is a minority
Being a minority is not a requirement to be a victim of a civil rights violation, violent crime, or hate crime. A black man being attacked by the KKK because he is black is just as much a victim as a white man being attacked by the Black Panthers because he's white. It doesn't matter if the victim is in a majority or minority, it's based on if the crime is based on race, religion, gender, orientation, etc. It just happens that minorities are more often the victims then those in the majority.
Don't forget to plug in your audiophile IEC power cable into an audiophile grade outlet. Or if you can't find a good enough cable you can just make your own.
Nah. It's like buying an extended warranty on an informercial item. They are meant to just be thrown away at the end of their life. It's not worth the hassle of trying to take them in and get repaired, when in the end, you still have something worthless.
So your buddy is allowed to talk about them with people outside of the bureau (presuming you don't work for them too), but those that receive them aren't?
If you save $500 on a laptop but end up dicking around with it for a week over its lifetime you have not made a wise decision.I'll gladly dick around for any personal consumer electronic device for a week to save $500. Doesn't matter if it's a laptop, TV, HTPC, iPod, etc.

Next time don't ask for ground shipping from China. Pay the extra and go with air. Or at least by boat.
