  1. I agree. They would have a really great deal if they could put the whole thing in, e.g., a shipping container, and transport one or more of them to your site and convert your paper records.

    This would open up the customer base to include such options as government (IRS, Health, DoD, CIA, etc.) and defense contractors who handle protected and classified material which cannot be sent/stored "in the cloud" as well as sensible and responsible organizations who won't.

    A federal government can't make you happy, but they're certainly able to make you unhappy.

    I mostly use maps to see shapes and calculate distances. This one fails at both.

    Heck, use blue/green screen technology and put up any background you want.

  5. They had access. I don't think Youtube checks to see (ha ha) if you're blind and then doesn't connect.

    FTFS (emphasis added):

    This notice is difficult to understand and does not clearly disclose the fact that Google intercepts, scans and analyzes the content of emails sent by non-Gmail users to Gmail users...

    So, pretty much like most DMCA filers and copyright trolls.

    Even GMail sucks. Our sorry story:

    Off to Italy, having done our communications and reservations, etc. with a GMail account.

    Arrived in Rome and attempted to use it to provide/get further information.

    Oh noes! You're using your account from a different location! Nobody ever travels or gets a GMail account to be universally (earthily?) accessible!

    You must send us your cell phone number (we don't have one) or your home e-mail address so we can ask for confirmation. We can't access that. In fact, we used a GMail account so as to not bother with setting up a web access.

        Fortunately, I saved the previous e-mails, created a new GMail account and used that to communicate. Most people just reply, so we got the responses on the new account.

    Summary: GMail sucks.

  9. So you got booted out, eh?

  10. FTFS: It's not the plastic film that's important, it's the glass beads. Could these just be embedded in ordinary glass windows or some other transparent medium?

  14. Q: If you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a sheep have?

    A: Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it one.

  15. Like how much weather is there in space?

    I often check out old classics and not so popular books (especially poetry and non-fiction) that I'm not interested in (re)reading at the moment just to hopefully achieve this same effect. There are works, even those I don't particularly care for, that should always be available.
