There are enough cases, not documented "by the book"; that's probably why they got operators.
Stop letting them depend on their computer system too much and use their own judgement. Of'course the other side could forget/alter important and vital information; but still the operator should be the one judging what's a top emergency or not.
If they aren't able to judge, based on the received information anymore, then why don't they put automatic attendants instead of real live operators?
I'd rather like to have a few steps inbetween before the government gets a full profile over me; not that I'm buying terrorist goods in our supermarket but rather because I'd like to have my own privacy too; which kind of brands of toilet paper I consume.
By taking away every piece of the chain this gives the UK government unfettered access to any buyers profile of their citizens.
Such things should only happen with a court order; instead of profiling an entire country in order to select the terrorist next door using statistics from such profiling. I've never signed up for "Open Privacy" although I might believe in "Open Source". Not everything in all our lives should be open for the take.
Do imagine all this data gets hacked into/sold by officials; I can assure the black market will be paying gold for such data.
One thing that is interesting to me is that throughout my education and career I have been warned off using multiple means comparisons and LSD in particular (I understand why and have avoided where I can and the latter always). Yet the only actual stati
I think hippies tried to warn us too in the seventies of avoiding bad trips (LSD).. Didn't know there was any math involved in that...
I guess you are comparing a DJ too much with a common jukebox.
A real DJ entertains his guests by throwing them a storyline of music. They mix the music so the public will be able to continue to move on their groove.
Nothing to do with royalties and all that; nothing with commercials; just plain mixing music in a way it doesn't disturb the dancing flow.
Radio Jockeys are quite the same; only they won't have their dancing crowd to attend but their listeners. The entertaining factor stays the same; wether the crowd is dancing or getting entertained by listening to 'm. A good DJ knows when to mix what on the right moment and will feel together with its audience. A Jukebox doesn't since it'll only play on command.
I don't know if this is a worldwide fact; but try to read a doctors note in the Benelux... Half of the time you'll need an Enigma machine in order to understand it.
Because this way works for you, it doesn't work for everyone like that. It isn't even a matter of intelligence but rather how to process incoming information and retain it.
If I had no possibility to write down my notes, I'd be fluked all time. Because it works for you, that does not mean it works for anyone and vice versa..
I've always wanted to feed a real troll, can I ? Please? They look quiete adorable mumbling "my precious". Hospitable little creatures as long as you don't smell 'm!
Oh f*CK! NO ! Oh NO! HE BIT OFF A FINGER !!!
Shoot it! Put it too sleep ! Put it to sleep!!! Someone shoot it!!!

I've found back a few dozen stacks of disks; from DOS to Win v1.0 to Win3.11 wfw...
I wonder if Microsoft would accept these to upgrade to CD/DVD; since they are taking up space-by-the-dozen;)
The memories i have found back in boxes.. GEM, PCTools, Qemm, Stacker, Sierra Games, Lucasart games like Monkey Island and Zach Mc Cracken, PC/NFS, Turbo/Borland Pascal, Netware, Lantastic, Norton Utilities (when they were still usable, like diskeditor etc..), Remote Access, PCBoard, Frontdoor, Toscan and so much more when shareware was triving hard...
Probably also the reason why I'm currently selling all my old software.. it takes up way too much space in those times where boxes and paper manuals were golden. I can still remember my DBase IV box supporting my monitor for quite some while without problems.. as monitor stand..
Windows95 was actually a platform I've denied for quite some time; skipped from Win3.0 directly towards OS/2 as betatester and had my happiest times back then where multitasking really worked! I've programmed some shareware around that time for Dos and RA/Proboard but abandoned once everything went graphical. Things used to be easier back then when 640k ought to be enough (tm)(r)(c). Oh and the tricks that could be done with a graphics card and a few lines of assembly code.. the same time debug was being used to low level format a diskdrive... what was it again?..
debug

After all this juggling with disks and cd's, I've finally convinced myself OS X and Linux are the real way to go in order to step out the vicious circle of Microsoft computing. I've got one Windows XP PC, a linux server and a Mac with Leopard and it really "just works" like it should be. Just like those good old OS/2 days...
Can't really figure out why I went from Borland Pascal straight towards Perl yet.. probably because I do believe in the power and simplicity of web applications.

I'd rather not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
That's ok, doing so would screw the energy star of the baby anyway...
Maybe time for the government to create a Patent Accountability Office to get rid of ridicilous requests.
So, I wonder who is auditing the auditors?
It will explode if you don't turn it off after 3 snoozes.
It's energy star is valued on the force of explosion.
Probably efficient to wake up an entire neighbourhood
One of these scientists just watched too much television ... ... Back to the bat cave!

As if, the computer suddenly has a medical degree?
Don Zynga strikes again! so, Facebook may be expecting a drive-by shooting any moment ?

Apparantly Bruce seems to use logic to predict ... so do predictions beat logic now ?
That would mean your 100% is truely only valid for 99% at most?
Why to people ask .. are you 100% sure? while the answer is mostly "I think so" ?
To stretch this ... are you correct about your statement, even if it is statistically only for 99% correct?
I think hippies tried to warn us too in the seventies of avoiding bad trips (LSD) .. Didn't know there was any math involved in that ...
.. a place where the sun doesn't shine (often - statistically), does that mean 100% of those are stinky?
Yeah, we Europeans are living elsewhere but Earth. We feel more attached to our universe like that...
I don't know if you exactly know what a Golden Shower is, but I prefer you not to spray my lawn...
Maybe easier to just buy a set of headphones and plug it in one laptop ? That'll be $480 - inclusive headphones (stereo!) and laptop.
... It would never come out and I'm out of gum..
Try injecting a tin can of tuna .... There might be complications. I prefer the vaccination thankyouverymuch.
You are totally right, I'm also not personally interested what comes out of any organizations public ORIFICE. It's smelly business at its finest!
