So the review is 19 pages long mixes different incompatible formats. And doesn't even review the fastest cards on the market. I think they're Sandisk Extreme III, but who knows I haven't seen a review.
I didn't think memory card speed mattered much, but then after playing with a high speed card on my camera it's quite nice to take pictures as fast as I can press the shutter for as long as I want.
Once you get used to taking photos of kids at a few fps, going back to a slower camera and card is quite painful.
The corporate decision of cheaper to do the wrong thing is why they are pushing criminal and personal liability to the officers of the corporation.
It's easy to say the corporation can pay that so I don't care. When the people responsible are looking at losing their own money, or even serving jail time they tend to act in a somewhat more cautious manner.
They are likely refering to a single person entry door. The problem I see is this may not suffice for disabled access.
At first I thought man-trap would be they lock you in if anything goes wrong, the problem here would be a potentially devestating liability if there is any injury. Think about the lawsuit if someone got injured or killed (or mildly annoyed) if they were physically detained by an automated system. The wikipedia article indicates this issue. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-trap
MS seems to have forgotten who their real customer is. They didn't make controlling this easy enough for that customer.
Security solutions need to be thought out a bit more carefully. What about using backdoored crypto with corporate issued keys? Wouldn't this make most everyone happy?
Most people are capable of catching a ball. I'd hazard to say that the laws, or some mathematical approximation, are hard-wired into the human nervous system.
The rules of conduct for a serving officer of a countries military are different than those of an ordinary citizen.
According to the link you posted the US government seems to be behaving very reasonably. Despite vocal opposition to the war, and his refusal to go to Iraq he is still permitted to go home at night while they investigate.
Third, Ph.D. is awarded for discovering something new in a field. Try discovering something new in Math... And without a Ph.D., you can't teach in a university.
Name a single solved field, I don't think you can. Every field has constant research and new ideas, even then there is always a new way to apply existing techniques.
In many cases the organization doesn't need the information, so don't give it. Make it illegal for them to ask. FYI it isn't clearly illegal to ask for a SIN in Canada. But organizations can't collect information unless they have a legitimate reason to use it.
That same law has a series on data protection, and your right to see the information they hold. A little vague, but I think the intent is clear. It would be interesting to see how many cases have proceeded.
I would like to see them add a notification requirement.
AFAIK the only DSLR that does this is the Oly E330.
Even then the mirror might be in place if you're viewing through the small image sensor.
If the light isn't coming from the right direction you might just end up with a bit of glare.
How does this distinguish between a camera and glasses? I can't wait till they get sued for shining a dangerously bright light through through someones sunglasses.
This is an example of what can happen if you use biological means to control a situation.
There tends to be an unintended consequence, which often may be much worse than the origional affliction.
Although I hope they think carefully about this type of behaviour in the future, I doubt it. The biological ideas they're coming up with to fight drugs in the US are much scarier than a few million frogs.
You don't build equality by treating people different.
Quota based selection has a NEGATIVE effect on the group in question.
In my experience quota based hiring tends to create equal representation of the 'disadvantaged' group. However those who got in under quota, not merit create the impression that that group is less capable because they may not all meet the same standards as the non-quota group.
When there is no quota many people realize that those who are part of a disadvantaged group have worked hard and are likely capable of performing the job.
Sheesh, a ducted fan is NOT a jet engine. It just means they put a fan inside a tube, rather than have a propeller outside. It's a cosmetic thing to keep the appearance of a jet.
Other than the fan being in a aerodynamic tube, it really isn't any different.
In their hollow little self centered American heads of course. People who want everything free, and don't take any responsiblity for their own actions instead blame others, society, genetics, anything but their own behaviour and choices.
In their twisted little heads not letting them do whatever they want is wrong and a violation of their rights.
Ramp up slowly, walking is a good way to start building.
Myself I find a quick small glass of milk after my workout settles me to keep from gorging right away. Of course I better have done at least 2 miles to make up for it.
we could create informational campaigns that ensure that everybody knows the dangers. But even when given fair and effective information people may be unable, for various reasons, to make proper decisions. (Unable, not unwilling. Also note proper decisions, as in properly thought out and considered.)
I am a strong believer in personal responsibility and informed consent.
Unfortunately with our current population of irresponsible mindless drones there are a few problems. They don't take responsibility, they refuse to get informed, and they aren't really consenting since they don't know whats going on.
I'm not sure if the "democraticly elected" ruling elite we have in most western democracies is a good thing or bad, but it seems to be, at least comparatively, a pretty decent solution.
You're right, how well you polish your boots doesn't really indicate your job performance.
But it is the military equivalent of professionalism.
For many situations, you will get a better response if you appear to be a professional. From bankers and executives in suits, to office cleaners or restaurant cooks in uniforms, or even just a standard T shirt. They've done studies on food and found that the way it is presented does affect the customers satisfaction.
Presentation matters, the military has standards to ensure that all present that standard of presentation. When some big politician comes on base they don't see a lot of lazy bums hanging around, they should see a lot of sharp and attentive soldiers waiting for their next assignment.
If they're not obligated to pay you severance they wouldn't. I would guess that the severance they are offering is like a bonus to train the next person well. Also to avoid the mad dash out the door

In demolition man they make it clear that biometric ID might have flaws.
I actually thought it was quite funny how they suggested he could simply rip off someones arm to "mug" them.

After a few months the fine is larger than $1-5.
It's cheaper to just buy the book used at $2-$4
Sounds like a win for everyone.
People have the movie to watch at their leisure.
Netflix gets the same monthly fee to have the DVD sit on your shelf.
I prefer to buy used books rather then borrow them from the library just to be able to read at my leisure and not have to worry about returning them.

I didn't claim the frogs are worse than the beetle problem.
I only stated that in many cases when they use biological or foreign species to control a problem it DOES end up worse than the origional problem.

in what way is this a YRO issue?
In their hollow little self centered American heads of course.
People who want everything free, and don't take any responsiblity for their own actions instead blame others, society, genetics, anything but their own behaviour and choices.
In their twisted little heads not letting them do whatever they want is wrong and a violation of their rights.
Problem is there aren't enough levels, I finished the 100 levels with the ubuntu package, now I want more.
School districts can punish students for things students have done on their own time on their own equipment if it disrupts school activities
Unfortunately in many countries there is the right to protest.
I do agree the WTO meetings would go a lot better if there weren't those disruptions.
See what happens when you don't vote, you lose rights. In this case they're removing the rights of the students, well because they can.

You should always lock out the piece of equipment you are working on.
It's the first rule of industrial repair.
Many workplace injuries due to machines are due to the electrician/mechanic not properly locking out the piece of equipment.
You're right, how well you polish your boots doesn't really indicate your job performance.
But it is the military equivalent of professionalism.

I would guess that the severance they are offering is like a bonus to train the next person well.
