Not the greatest mod ever, but he probably saved a ton of cash by buying the logic board and doing it this way. Gives me some ideas actually.

...and that's why you'll be hard pressed to find many technical jobs that aren't salaried. They are out there, but they're rare as hens' teeth. Also, your theory doesn't hold true if someone is hired for one salaried position, but then promoted to a different position with on-call responsibilities (which happened in my case).
On call is done in week long shifts. Basically from monday at 8:30am until the next monday at 8:30am, you are on call. After that, it switches to the next technician in the rotation, and so on. During that week you put in your regular hours (8:30-5:30) but you're also expected to handle customer calls that may come in in the evening/early morning. Afterwards, you are compensated either $150, or a day of comp time that can be used like a personal day whenever you choose (some blackouts). Its not bad, its not great, but it works pretty well. Going to be on call next week actually, and since most of the end of this month is blacked out, I'll be enjoying the 150$ to help buy xmas gifts.
I usually use either LogMeIn, or Mikogo. Mikogo is much more powerful and entirely free. The downside is that its a little clunky to use. LMI just works, but the free version is missing a number of awesome tools that the pro/ITReach versions have - like being able to remotely reboot machines you can't connect to, etc.
For utilities like winzip, replace them with open source stuff like 7zip. Explain that it's ok to be used for commercial use, and it avoids annoying licensing costs. As for the other stuff, shoot an email to your management about it and print it out. If they refuse to listen, at least you have a hard copy on record showing that you tried to warn them. Then, if anything ever happens legally you've tried to notify them and you can't get canned. If they do, they'll have a hefty wrongful termination lawsuit on their hands. If it really bothers you, find a new job and call the BSA. Tattletale.:-P
Yes, you really should read. I had replied already correcting myself before you made your snarky little comment. Funny how you fail to heed your own advice, though. Have a good day.
Nm, watched the video. Article doesn't mention that the player actually does the shooting. Still doesn't bother me, as it builds drama. Though I think the point may be lost on a lot of people who will consider it a shooting gallery game.
In the first Modern Warfare, when the president is being driven to his execution you see civilians being lined up against a wall and then executed. How is this different? Because they're in a hostage situation? People need to STFU.
I use a heart rate monitor every single day when I run. Most likely the school is either A) providing monitors for children to use, or B) the straps will communicate with exercise equipment. The data it reads will be for things such as heart rate thresholds, and calories burnt. Further, it will help decrease the risk that your child hurts his or her self through over-exertion. Without having their own dedicated heart rate monitor, there is no way for the child to be tied to the data. Even if there were, the data would be innocuous. From my heart rate monitor (Polar F11) you can tell when I exercised, the duration of the exercise, calories burnt, percent fat burnt, and what aerobic/anerobic zone the exercise was performed at and for how long. There is no personally identifiable information. The strap itself basically just sends out electronic pulses in time with your child's heart on a specific frequency so that it doesn't interfere with other kids' straps. The straps themselves are dumb, they have no identifying information on them. They literally do nothing but send out a pulse every time they sense a heart beat.
I appreciate your concern, but honestly it's nothing to be worried about, millions of people around the world use heart rate monitors without any issue. I actually have to give kudos to your kids' school as well. Learning about proper anerobic/aerobic zones is pretty important when it comes to exercise. Further, be glad they're having your child purchase the strap, as opposed to using someone else's which could lead to ringworm, and a bunch of other gross fungal problems.
In states where both parties must be aware, it has been successfully argued numerous times that if there is an automated recording prior to the conversation stating that "Calls may be recorded for training/help/nefarious/whatever purposes," it counts as due notice to both parties that the call could be recorded. The worker for the company is acting as an agent for the company on the phone, and therefore is bound by the recorded message. The caller is informed when they hear the message, and therefore both parties are aware. This is an open and shut case if the garage has such a message on the phone system, same with the police force.
3 words: Glass Parking Lot. Even if NK had regime change its people would never be able to survive in the modern world for at least 2-3 generations. So, nuke them, turn the area into low-cost housing for China. Everybody wins. Even North Korea - they finally get to be justified in calling the rest of the world dangerous imperialists.
You realize the term toon has existed since the early days of MUDs, MOOs, and MUX's, right? I've yet to see someone get insulted for using it. I think you're a fibber.
I ran into an issue with this as well. I lost a 500$ smart phone because they wouldn't replace it. At the time I worked for a beer distributor, which meant constantly going in and out of coolers all day. Condensation formed inside the phone because it wasn't sealed, and set off all of the water-spill stickers. However, the phone worked fine. It wasn't until the earpiece eventually failed because of poor soldering that I had to take it in. Then they wouldn't repair it. I can only imagine that going in and out of air conditioned environments would also wreak havoc on such systems.
Except its not able to be overwritten by a bios flash. It's stored elsewhere. While it would be possible to flash the RAM where it IS stored, the people who have the skill to do so are hardly likely to be the ones stealing laptops to make money. If its stolen by a foreign government, its fooked anyways.
This is idiotic. This would be like saying that if you purchase an Ipod, apple owns the sound waves created by the files you put on it. Or, if you purchase a loom, that the loom maker owns the rights to all items that come from that loom. See, Wolfram alpha doesn't do anything but sit there until you put something into it. I mean, sure you could look at the webpage all day long, but until you put in "Are you skynet?" or "What is 1+1?" and get a result, its pointless. Just like an ipod needs mp3s, and a loom needs thread. Both items are user provided. I can't wait to see this go to court.
That's why I used depression as an example, not happiness. The physiological effects of depression cause all biological processes to slow down - both catabolic and metabolic. That includes your example, breaking down of food. Likewise, a person who is not suffering from depression has faster, more responsive biological processes. A simple class in biopsych will illustrate and explain that better than I could. I think it's a pretty neat line of research.
Really? I remember arguing with dell for close to an hour a few years ago that I didn't want an OS. I told them I wanted a blank hard drive. They told me they couldn't do it. I asked to speak to a manager, and they affirmed the lower person's statement. Maybe this has changed since?
So, since this light is directly related to biological processes, that means in theory it should be tied to mood. For instance, clinical depression is tied to a general depression of all physiological processes. So, it would stand to reason that if you're down, you would emit less light. Someone who is euphoric should look (relatively) like a lightbulb in comparison. I know in the article it says that the amount and color of light varies, I wonder if this would lead towards a mood-ring style ability to read emotions. For instance, someone who is emitting a "pensive" light spectrum, along with other biological cues like sweat, and fidgiting may be a good suspect for scrutiny.

Incorrect, in numerous states you are not legally required to act when witnessing a crime. I know was the case in Nevada, your state may vary.

We could sell the body to hormel, and they could use it to make a canned meat product!

It's a weapon, +4 to music slaying, +2 to virgin slaying, +10 to eardrum slaying. Successful attack requires target to roll saving throw for will.

That's a non-issue if the user doesn't intend to install windows. Why do I care if windows drivers don't work if I plan to install Solaris?
