They understand the job at lot better than most people. The people who want to fly understand the risks. Lets let them take the risks if they think its worth it.
Exactly.
I wouldn't hesitate a second if I was offered the chance to fly to space - no matter how risky. Some months ago there was a story about the chinese sending their taikonauts up to space knowing they probably won't come back - so what? If I was given the possibility to visit moon (or even mars) without a ticket back to earth, fuck it, where can I sign?
I somehow doubt Google is going that direction. Don't forget their main goal, to own all information and make it availible to everyone on this planet. The idea of a GoogleOS doesn't really match with that.
..Toshiba, I think, made some tests in cinemas with 30fps and 70fps movies to see howmany people could distinguish between single frames. Surprisingly, a lot of them couldn't even notice the difference but there was a significant number (15% afaik) who could even notice single frames in 70fps
A friend never allows her SS # to be used for anything. Not banks, not schools, not health insurance. They squawk and scream and threaten and she stands firm. No, she says, you can't have it. It's only for her retirement, not for generic identification purposes.
I never really understood this, why is the SS# used so widely in the USA? I've visited a lot of countries in my young life and almost every one of them had some kind of ID card - for identification only that is. Is it due to the different laws in different states or what?
maybe the work itself doesn't seem hard (to you), but the conditions they have to suffer are really sweatshop-like BBC had a report about it recently, a dozen workers stuffed into a small, dark room with computers and only a sleeping bag may sound LAN party style to us - but we can leave the party anytime, they can't
"As oppossed to the fake people dying in games like Grand Theft Auto. Oh, but THAT'S ok, huh?"
well, I don't know about your kids but my children are perfectly aware that GTA is a _fictional game_ playing in a world that is _not_ real
"No, you don't. Just because you hang out with witless adults is no excuse to subject kids to porn."
oh come on.. there are many adults that can't handle that topic

Thinking of a certain movie you are, hm?
Exactly.

some friends of mine haxx0r3d their digital watches once and reset them to use 13:37 as 00:00
sad, I know. you know what's even worse? it was my idea...
a possible comeback for the ageing Joysticks maybe?
