Yes, they do, and its fucking obnoxious. Its typically done by people trying to hide the fact that their eyes are doing something they shouldn't do currently, or more often, last night. It doesn't take a computer to tell you its obnoxious as fuck, or that it is almost universally associated with bad behavior hence why all normal people get agitated with people who leave sunglasses on indoors.
It also has obvious exceptions, such as the blind.
Its unlikely that your nearly clear Transition lenses are going to cause a false alarm unless you're wearing ones that were created in the 70s. Modern lenses are pretty damn transparent in the absence of UV light.
If you aren't aware of the correlation between wearing sunglasses inside and the behavior of those people, then its your problem for being so oblivious to the cues your body and mind give you.
Both full schematics and manuals for the expansion slots would be less than useful now days.
You aren't going to be fixing traces on a 6-8 layer motherboard so the schematics are less than useful.
You also are unlikely to be building PCI interface cards based on a manual that came with your desktop PC.
Apple doesn't make tinker toys for Linux fans to play with. They make desktop PCs for non-nerd users. Doing what you want them to do would be wasteful in multitudes of ways. They aren't making nerd machines anymore, they make people machines.
Show me where you can download the kernel source to OS X 10.6 or 10.7, hell, I'll take 10.5 for that matter.
The kernel hasn't been open in years... because people used it to make hackint0sh's... imagine that... Apple stopped being so open with their source after people decided to just steal from them instead, can't blame them for stopping but lets be clear, the kernel isn't open source anymore.
Let me give you a little hint, IBM never played nice either, they just got out smarted and ripped off by Gates and some PC clone makers who found a way to get by with it.
Its so sad that you think they are different, when in fact the only difference is that IBM and MS weren't as good at it as Apple is.
And lets be realistic, if Gates was working on Karma, he'd not be the second richest person IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE.
I leave pennies in the jar for crippled kids at the register too, I don't call myself a charitable person because the money I'm giving away is more of an annoyance than anything else.
Its more like this mathematical construct we had to describe something we really didn't understand... but let other mathematical constructs work out properly and achieve results that matched reality... in fact appears to be the proper mathematical construct to define a portion of reality.
But thats what the summary says, not what the article says.
What the article says is more long the lines of:
Well, either this math is right or faster than light communications are possible. As far as we can tell, we see evidence that suggests faster than light communication is possible, so we conclude that we were probably right about this mathematical construct.
Considering that we have conflicting (and also unproven) reports of faster than light travel, we have two directly conflicting scientific theories on the table at the moment that can not possibly be right.
Or it could just mean that neutrinos are faster than light and the universal speed limit is actually neutrinos speed, not photon speed.
Truth be told, it all doesn't matter until we achieve the speed of bad news.
This, on the other hand, is not true. Plenty of things have no physical reality: like abstract concepts.
Nope, the concept is physical real. Its a collection of organized molecules stored in various places in the universe which we interpret into thoughts. Those thoughts are the results of chemical reactions in the brain... all very real things.
Just because it isn't a specific object you can grab without killing yourself doesn't make it any less real. You're trying to define it out of existence, which is a logical impossibility. It exists because you define it, Ergo Cognito Sum. There is a physical item backing your existence just like there are physical objects backing abstract concepts. Those physical objects just also happen to be part of your mind.
Oh for fucks sake, quit whining and go join the Occupy Wallstreet morons. You're the type of person who has an excuse for everything that makes it not your fault.
So you got him fired for a personality flaw... because your personality flaw made it difficult to deal with him? And you don't feel like a douche because of that? It took months for someone else to notice his behavior after multiple complaints?
You can call it playing devils advocate, but your story sounds a little more fishy than that. Sounds more like an excuse to tell us about how you got some guy fired for a personality flaw using your own personality flaws. Seems to me that if he got fired, so should you.
Obnoxious employee behavior successfully dealt with. Sure, the next guy may be obnoxious too, but considering the length of the unemployement line at the moment, shouldn't take too long to find a suitable replacement. Plenty of people without chips on their shoulders who are willing to work, right?
Seriously? Its not a difficult issue to deal with.
You're fired
Its really not difficult and there are people standing in line to take that persons place.
Why is it that the more technology we get, the more we try to replace simple tried and true methods with ridiculously complex and pointless exercises in futility?
The 'structures' are lines painted on the ground used for target practice.
Its a documented bomb range with an airport and a simulated airport to bomb as well.
If you bother to zoom out on Google Maps you can figure it out fairly quickly, oh and a few Google searchs will reveal that we've known this for years.

You didn't actually give a reason, you just said 'because its not fair!' which pretty much makes it obvious you're just a whiney little bitch.
I thought the point to the UEFI secure boot thing was that the UEFI wouldn't boot without the MBR and remainder of the boot blocks being properly digitally signed.
Unless someone broke the digital signature system or found a flaw in the implementation, this sounds more like working as intended.
The article also seems to think that the boot loader is supposed to be encrypted for some silly reason.
Seems pretty clear that the article doesn't understand how it works, so its hard to imagine theres much truth in it. If you tell the UEFI to ignore digital signatures on the boot loader then yes, it has been compromised... cause you turned it off. Intentionally turning it off doesn't count as breaking it guys, sorry.
If there was a claim of a flaw in the UEFI Secure boot implementation or design, then I'd listen, but the fact that its being called a windows exploit when it occurs before Windows has been started kinda sets off signal flares, ya know?

What issue is that? That a bunch of idiots are having a street party calling it a 'movement' when all they really need to do is actually fucking vote rather than being whiney little bitches?
The people protesting don't know what their protesting and are too ignorant to learn that there is a really simple way to accomplish the goal they claim to seek and it only takes about 30 minutes of your time once a year, or two depending on how involved you actually want to get.
The only issue here is that uneducated idiots don't know how their country works.
You''re upset because you have to load a 'binary blob' at boot...
Yet you're too stupid to realize that the chip itself contains several embedded 'binary blobs' that it uses to get to that boot loader.
You're basically bitching about something that happens in every microprocessor on the planet, the only difference being that you have to help out in this one, where as say a pentium chip has the blob built in.
Same is true for video drivers. You Linux/GPL zealots get so fucking worked up up about binary blobs, yet your too stupid to realize you've been depending on them since day one, that is, unless you can show me the open source masks intel uses for its chip lithography.
If the blob was embedded in the chip, you'd be okay with it, but since its not, you get your panties in a twist. Ignorance is bliss isn;t it.
Yes, compared to something about 3 orders of magnitude less complex, this seems complex.
However, I do 4 layer boards with the bigger AVRs and boards produced by BatchPCB 2 or 3 times a year. Its not really complex. I admit, I've not done BGA layouts, but with multiple layers I can't imagine it'd be THAT hard. Tedious to do by hand, certainly, but with software, meh, not much different than an excel spreadsheet really.

No, but 12 year olds who point out obvious flaws in a system that would clearly have workarounds in place in a production system are obnoxious.

Has anyone done a study of how the ever increasing monitoring and scrutiny of employees in the workplace impacts their mental well-being?
No, because its not really different now.
You may be video taped, but the guy watching the videos was going to walk around the office and watch you before the video taping existed.
You still had people looking over your work before technology came along to automate the process.
You still had performance evaluations and managers to make sure you weren't an obnoxious fuck and fire you if you were.
In short, no, no one has done a study because nothing has actually changed other than the way its accomplished.
Ding.
Exactly.
You deal with obnoxious employees by simply firing them. Replace them with something that isn't obnoxious, another person, or better still, a robot.
You're fired.
