Okay that last sentence really makes no sense. No more crack for me. What I meant to say was, there's many a reason he went to Nam with a full head of brown hair, but came back with a full head of white hair. War is hell, truly.
Was your uncle the son of a US Senator or some other silver spoon? How exactly does one serve in Vietnam, but never in combat?!? I don't think being a chef 'serving' in the war counts. Even logistically assisting a war effort shouldn't count as serving in a war. Now my old man, he actually did serve in Nam. He doesn't like to talk about it, but I got the chance to speak to one of his unit mates when they had a reunion a few years back. My old man clipped his share of Charley, apparently. And there's man a thing he saw that was the reason he went there with all brown hair, and came back with a head full of white.
But that era's weapons sucked. There would be a line of 30,000 enemy straight ahead, you'd have maybe 10 lead balls and a bag of gun powder for some crap musket, and if you actually got to fire them off before a cannon ball took off one of your limbs, you'd have to fight the rest with the bayonet on the end of musket. Could you imagine having to swing that 30,000 + times? If it's anything like swinging a weapon in hand to hand in MOH, no thanks. Plus the only weapon upgrade you could possibly get would be some officer's engraved sabre, or maybe get to fire a cannon. Lame.
If it was a military strategy like C&C, maybe that would work. But only if you could play Sherman and destroy everything in your path, while lining up souther plantation belles for Union soldier gang bangs.
Bah, dance clubs having this? Who cares about this if that's the case? Only stupid twits go to such clubs anyway. Those clowns usually nightcap in bars anyway, which is perfect because then you steal their women after they paid to get them drunk. It doesn't matter who they enter with, it's who their leaving with that counts.
In fact, you could argue that the bars would be negligent in not instituting such a system. They also have monetary incentive since they will probably get insurance breaks for doing so.
Well, then I hope all such establishments that install such a network go under, fail miserably, and their owners become homeless whinos. That's the least of what anyone that violates my privacy is deserving of. You better bet your ass I will never go to such an establishment, and I'm surprised this hasn't been challenged yet in court. I'm sure it soon will be, and with good reason. There's no regulation of the data collected, no explanation for how it is used, and without laying out exactly what this system is used for and what it's NOT used for, and who has access to the information it shouldn't be legal. Hell even with all of that laid out in fine print it shouldn't be legal.
The village raisers made bartenders responsible for everything a boozer does after he staggers out of a bar. Systems like these are to ensure that nobody gets over served. Liability insurers may start demanding all bars join such a system to get insurance. In the future we can look forward to bars where you will longer be able to get drunk!
Then it's back to speak-easies and illegal watering holes for those of us who cherish our rights of privacy. This is the Prohibition, Part 2!
It's up to the consumer to discourage these practices with their dollars; the regulars with privacy in mind will either not be photographed or will find new watering holes.
I agree with you 100%, however as noted in the article, most bargoers there are too ignorant or too concerned with getting drunk to care. Those stupid lushes are going to ruin it for everyone else.
I don't care who's doing it - it's wrong one way or the other. It's true that this can only be exploited. Big businesses are already doing what they can to track what we buy, what we do, all of our habits. Who's to say that the big booze companies aren't helping to fund this so that they can access the databases, see what kind of people are coming into bars on nights with certain promotions, then marketing to them directly? Or keeping a record of people that go out every night? This is a serious violation of civil liberties IMHO.

"Accenture in India has also been moving into front office work such as doing clinical data management for its pharma clients.

There has always been opportunity for them in the front office...assuming that 'front office' is synonymous with 7-11.
Darl isn't on the list because he's scheduled to be taken down in the next Bond movie...The McBride Who Loved Me. In it, Bond is forced to take on McBride in a fight to the finish, and once he's done, he gets a reward ceremony presented by the Queen and Bill Gates.
BSRE (Bachelor of Science, Reverse Engineering major) MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! BS is right...anyone who goes to see that nonsense will undoubtedly have a BSRE (Bachelor of Science, REtardation).
Yo that ain't cool...although I did wonder why there were so many minorities in the Matrix and in Zion. I mean, seriously, don't you think that the previous "chosen ones", when having to choose 5 other males and 8 females, would pick only their own race, at least for the guys?
Well, as long as there are no more stupid ooga booga jungle rave orgy scenes in a lava cave, and no more embarrassing, ultra poorly written Morpheus speeches, it won't be as bad as Reloaded. What it needs is less talk and more shock. Seriously that whole jungle boogy with the beating drums and the natives getting restless in the lava cave, WTF?!?
I suggest you learn to speak and read English yourself, pathetic coward. Obviously one with such a limited vocabulary and brain capacity is incapable of understanding a simple message.
WOW. Karma bashing. What an exceptionally pathetic retort. Of course you wrote that little anonymous trash...an anonymous coward who won't dare to speak up for fear of losing karma.
Remember, according to the RIAA and MPAA, if you download music, movies, and/or files, regardless of their copyright status, you're a terrorist. And even if you don't do these heinous criminal activities yourself, rather support filesharing and file downloading, then you're supporting terrorists and the terrorists have already won. Be a real American - just say no to filesharing and remember to report to your local fascist RIAA office anyone you know that does commit such crimes. Even if their your son, daughter, father, mother, brother, or sister. Thank you.
Exactly.
How long before some dirtbag IP attorneys representing some megacorp coalition get a human being patent and claim final, definitive ownership on us all? back to slavery!
Yeah but if those dirty birdies get it from the companies for nearly nothing legally, so should we. Just because we can afford to pay more for goods and services, doesn't mean we should.

Can you be a camp survivor? Maybe working for the German team or running from them?
Well why don't they name 111 Krautanium?
that shift happens.
SunnComm just has to realize the shift happens.
