In addition to what the parent said, does your boss have a boss? Does your company have a compliance or HR department? (Although watch out, because someone in the HR department could be friendly with your boss! Happened to me. All communication with HR was supposed to be confidential, and the HR manager just went back to my manager with my concerns, naming me as the source.)
If JSONP isn't an option for you, and you need to make use of a REST endpoint on another domain (or even subdomain), see if you can get the service provider to add Dojo's XIP server files to their server.
Eliza: Hello, I am Eliza. Me: Hi, I'm Chris. Eliza: Do you believe it is normal to be Chris? Me: Well, I've always been Chris, so yeah. Eliza: Can you think of a specific example? Me: I'm me right now! You're stupid! Eliza: Does it please you to believe I am stupid? Me: YES!!! Eliza: I see.
If you're outside, I agree. I depend on headphones in order to get work done. I work with several people that seem to not know the distinction between Inside Voice and Outside Voice.

Probably because a similar point was already made in TFA:
You can also select systems that cold-boot rapidly. Model to model and brand to brand, servers exhibit wide variances in power-up delay. This metric isn't usually measured, but it becomes relevant when you control power consumption by switching off system power. It needn't take long. Servers or blades that boot from a snapshot, a copy of RAM loaded from disk or a SAN can go from power-down mode to work-ready in less than a minute. The most efficient members of a reserve/disaster farm can quiesce in a suspend-to-RAM state rather than be powered down fully so that wake-up does not require BIOS self-test or device querying and cataloging, two major sources of boot delay.
I wish my mod points hadn't just expired. I used to sit next to a woman who would chat on the phone with people from all over the country. About everything. Intimate encounters, medical information, shopping sprees, trips to Prague. You name it.
She would log her personal chat time under one of her most active projects in our time tracking software. She was recently promoted to some higher echelon position.
Technical restrictions are stupid. People will find ways around them.
That said, these restrictions are sometimes necessary from a legal compliance standpoint for auditing purposes, such as blocking personal e-mail at a government agency (HA HA HA HA HA *gasp* HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!) or a bank.
From a memo sent to all employees at my workplace about a year and a half ago:
As all of you are aware, financial services firms continue to be under heightened regulatory scrutiny relating to compliance generally. One of the regulatory requirements that has been in place for some time at Initech Financial Services and across the industry is that all email communication by individuals at IFS must be archived and reviewed from a compliance perspective.
A recent regulatory review advised Initech Financial Services to investigate industry practices relating to access of third party email providers (Google mail, AOL mail, etc.) and third party instant messaging from IFS desktop computers. The regulatory report recommended that we prohibit employee access at IFS to all such third party email and instant messaging providers as these emails and messages cannot be archived and monitored by compliance.
Unfortunately, lately we seem to have absolutely no room to talk, given the practices of our own "You-have-to-give-me-700-billion-dollars-right-now-no-questions-asked-or-there-will-be-disaster" government.
I'm a paranoid privacy tinfoil wacko and I'm not/that/ outraged by this. I'm against it because it is unnecessary and excessive, but anywhere I'm driving is basically public as far as I'm concerned.
If it's done in person, it's stalking, tailgating, etc. If it's done remotely, though, it's merely unnecessary? Excuse me while I attach a cellular GPS unit to the bottom of your car.
When it comes down to it, those phrases you quoted are opinions (and you're correct, as an atheist, I personally happen to agree with them for the most part). However, whether or not they are valid opinions doesn't say anything about the merit of the book(s) in which they are contained.
I think the GP was speaking more in terms of invisible people living in skies/in the molten rock core of the planet and superhero powers. You know, the stuff comic books are made of. I have a feeling a site espousing all of the so-called "miracles" of the past (funny how we don't have any in the present) would be rated "untrue".
That does bring up a good point, though... How would entertainment sites--like those for comic books--be rated? I think a work of fiction being touted as a work of fact would be rated as untrue, whereas a work of fiction being presented as a work of fiction would be rated as true.
The day EA ships its games DRM-free is the day I purchase one to support them. Until then, if I have an urge to play an EA game (which hasn't happened since Road Rash was still top-of-the-line), EA won't get a penny from me.
You are correct in saying that Linux is not a GNU OS, because Linux is not an OS. It is a kernel that runs at the center of an OS. In this case, the GNU OS.
If you use the FreeBSD or OpenSolaris kernels at the heart of GNU, it's still GNU. However, to be fair, we give the respective software communities credit by calling the whole system GNU/[kernel] (or GNU+[kernel]). Why should Linux be any different?
To those not aware, the FSF Associate Membership program (referral link) is more of a supporter appreciation program. As such, Associate Members do not speak on behalf of the Free Software Foundation. Only FSF staff are authorized to make statements on behalf of the FSF.
Of course, I am an Associate Member (#795), so what I just said above is solely my opinion and not the official position of the Free Software Foundation.
Whichever dimwitted misanthrope came up with "number of bugs found" as a metric for QA "engineers" should be shot. And then drawn and quartered. And then dipped in boiling oil. And then forced to use Vista for a month.
With some phone numbers, it's less hastle and easer to simply get another number and drop the number that is on the bad boys list. One call fixes it instead of a letter writing campaign.
In my case, a collection agency was looking for the previous owner of my home. They found my unpublished number and started calling me, demanding that I let them speak to the previous home owner (who I'd never met in my life). Changing my phone number wouldn't have solved anything. They only stopped when I informed them their calls were not welcome and any further attempt to contact the previous home owner using my phone number would be met with a call back from a lawyer and a harassment lawsuit. I haven't received any calls since.
When my password expires on a Windows XP machine connected to an Active Directory domain, I sometimes get a prompt asking me if I'd like to change my password. Although this could be because I only put the machine into Standby when it's not in use. I log out maybe once a month. So, when I unlock my machine, and try to start working, I'll often find that I'm unable to work (try working on a non-existent file--or a couple dozen--in Notepad++) until I try to access the drives directly, at which point I get an expired password message.
Anyway, password expiration is a joke. Everyone here uses the same base password and either just increments a number after it by one or appends the month the password was changed to it. My base password is secure enough that John the Ripper hasn't been able to crack it every time I've tried (multiple times over the past five or so years), so it should be secure enough. Really, all password expiration is is an inconvenience.

All very good points. CYA.

John and I went to the store. The clerk said "hi" to John and me.
Eliza: Hello, I am Eliza.
Me: Hi, I'm Chris.
Eliza: Do you believe it is normal to be Chris?
Me: Well, I've always been Chris, so yeah.

What kind of phone/service do you have? I have to pay when I receive the message, whether I read it or not.

Right, because it couldn't possibly have been one of his doubles.

Oh, I see.
When I get to that Internet I'm gonna click on just about everything in sight. 'Might even click on a pop-up ad just for the heck of it.
Let's not forget Lotus Notes (although I'd really like to), which does the same thing.
I see; you're right, they're not a bank. They just offer free(?) online checking accounts.

You could always use Firefox Portable. Other than the fact that it's portable, I haven't noticed any difference between it and the full install.

No, but I do expect Slashdot to get it right.

I agree that NAS is a good idea, however.
