Everyone works 9-5. No one does anything personal in those hours.
Everything is CLOSED 5-9. No one does anything personal in THOSE hours, either.
Economy collapses after a couple of weeks.
Not to mention that this has nothing to do with personal emails, but the choice of words, sentence structure etc. in ANY email you write, which is likely to be affected by your current general state of mind.
Is it so hard to believe there are people with up-to-date XP systems who simply don't feel like forking out a couple hundred dollars to fix something that isn't broken?
Because without any government oversight EVERY SINGLE STORE is going to say "LULZ!" and remove any right of return whatsoever.
If you wish to refuse this claim, please add information on how this would not be the most cost-efficient solution for the company IF everyone did the same thing.
And they will do the same thing, same as how no one is advertising that they provide a 120 day return policy instead of 90.
And the moment someone does that, there will be screams of outrage about human rights violations.
I did not advocate killing them, contrary to most people responding here, simply finding a solution that would actually give the navy presence some bite to back up its bark, one way or the other. Be that sinking pirate ships on sight or actually being able to have them prosecuted, that's not for me to decide. Fortunately.
What is the use of this until a far greater problem with the Somali pirates is solved?
Capturing them does nothing. No African nation will take them and prosecute them, so after a few weeks the navy ships are forced to simply release them, after which they go right back to pirating. Until that problem is solved, really, what is the use of better detection tools?
IANAL either, but I'd imagine that CBS would be able to say, "Hey, since it's YOU guys, send us a dollar bill and we'll send you the script." In doing so they'd charged for the product, but just because you sell something at one price to one person doesn't mean you have to sell anything like it to everyone else for the same price, so they wouldn't be suddenly flooded with dollar bills for their entire collection of scripts.
Why doesn't the original author just write from scratch a VERY similar episode, with a few lines swapped around, maybe a different setting (medbay instead of hallway, for instance) for a scene or two, and call it a brand new work?
What's CBS gonna do, accuse him of plagiarizing something that the public has never seen?
What I want to know is who foots the bandwidth bill.
Siri works by sending each and every command to the cloud and getting replies back, right?
The cell companies keep yapping about how limited the mobile network's bandwidth is, which is why mobile data plans are so costly.
So who will be paying for this, and what happens when Car-Siri (Carrie? Now THERE is a scary thought!) exceeds its monthly allowance and dips into costly overtime?
That's meant as a serious question; as a European I obviously don't know anything about what advantages there may be to seeing the price before the tax you'll end up paying at the register anyway; isn't it more reasonable for a given customer to be able to see at a quick glance how much money will be leaving his or her wallet in a moment?
That is kind of the point of a nationwide identical tax on things, allowing stores to write out price stickers showing exactly what you're paying without having to calculate which part is tax etc.
Hence the comment further up about stores being forced to write out what you have to pay, not what the base price is, when targeting 'civilian' customers.
This whole thing America has with having to manually add taxes and tips at restaurants is a real head-shaker for many Europeans. We only give a tip if we've been treated above and beyond the ordinary, since the serving staff at a given restaurant actually collects a paycheck. You should try that system sometime.:-)
Carolyn Holly spoke with Appleton in 2004 about his flying, Appleton said he is very fortunate for the things he has been able to do.
"I'm very fortunate, lucky to be able to experience the kinds of things that I do," Appleton said. "If my life were to end tomorrow, I've had a full life."
"I used to think the brain was the most important part of the body, but then I realized what was telling me so..." Quote from someone, I've forgotten whom.

Imagine a world functioning like this:
Everyone works 9-5. No one does anything personal in those hours.
Everything is CLOSED 5-9. No one does anything personal in THOSE hours, either.
Economy collapses after a couple of weeks.

Please re-read my post.
I'm not complaining that XP is about to go off life support.
I was correcting the GP's broad generalizations about current XP systems, particularly the part about not patching the system anyway.
That's a bit of a generalization.

The AI quickly uploads itself to the Googleplex so it can be installed in a new unit.
Trying to extrapolate, we'll probably be blaming those damned virtual reality games with the odd rhythmic 'music' all the kids are so addicted to.
So we should never try to do something new?
"Run, Forrest, run!"

What I see on the shelf is exactly what I pay.

Quoted from a post higher up:
Carolyn Holly spoke with Appleton in 2004 about his flying, Appleton said he is very fortunate for the things he has been able to do.
"I'm very fortunate, lucky to be able to experience the kinds of things that I do," Appleton said. "If my life were to end tomorrow, I've had a full life."
If he's done everything he wanted to do in life, is that really a bad thing?
Is this a variation of political correctness saying we can't call retards retards?
Probably because CNN generally has a more, shall we say, journalistic approach to journalism than Faux News does.
"I used to think the brain was the most important part of the body, but then I realized what was telling me so ..." Quote from someone, I've forgotten whom.
Except the first ten Google results for 'S&C railway' actually mentions Signals & Communications on a Canadian page.
Repeat after me, Wikipedia is not the source of all knowledge.
My god, it's full of stars.
Well done submitting the Ars story to Slashdot, then.
Oh wait, you didn't?
That doesn't mean Slashdot is stagnant, it means you fail at understanding how Slashdot works.
In the store?
Excuse me, but which store is already selling copies of an expansion that isn't even in Beta yet?
You know, it actually can be used like that even if it's an odd wording.
Turn the sentence around a bit and you end up with a meaning of "Authority to assist there (the inspection sites) is derived from $some_law."
