I would not be wanting to give my details either, but if others want to do so willingly, that is up to them, not to me. There are people who give their details to stores they shop at in real life all the time, just so they can get a reduction or whatever. I don't have that and I don't want that.
It is not yours. Unless you bought it, not even the red stapler is yours. And if the scripts are yours, you will have proof that they are yours. If you don't they are not yours. So assume they are not yours, unless you have legal proof that they are.
No, just no! If a company puts lead in their products, you are not just saying that you should stop buying them. And if the law does not forbid the sales of lead in the consumer products, you do not say 'oh well'. You change the law.
So if they are allowed to do this and it is wrong, you need to change the law to handle that wrong, so it becomes forbidden.
Now if they would at least make it opt-out by default, they could offer some incentive for people to opt-in, then there should be no problem. All they need to do is say "you get Office free for one month longer" or the like.
Until then: they are wrong and the law should forbid these opt-ins. Not just talking about Mickeysoft. This goes for all companies. And the data should not be allowed to be sold. Again, talking about all companies.
In Brussels there is a pre-check. Mainly showing your ticket and some people are profiled and a fast search will be done. The reason is that the idiots who blow themselves up did not even had a ticket. And buying a ticket if you are a known fugitive it a little bit harder.
At the beginning there where long lines and that obviously defeated the purpose, so they changed procedure. Goes pretty fast now.
So how many terrorists have they caught? Also: do they know where the idiots in Brussels exploded? It was before any check in the check-in area.
So no, we are not safer with them. If idiots want to blow themselves up, they will. Standard scan is already good enough. And obviously I could just go into the tax-free store and buy what I need there.
The part that makes it hard is that it must be activated worldwide. You can not have e.g. somebody from country A not be allowed to not buy something in country B from the point of view of MC or Visa.
At this moment they are working on getting the card distributors to enable 3DS. I believe they must be done by beginning or end of 2017. At least in Europe. When that is done, they can start to require it from the online sellers.
What? The kid doesn't learn how to add 15% for the tip as well? And is that 15% calculated with or without the sales tax? And do they learn what professions do get tipped and what not?
This used to be the case in Belgium till, I think he 1950-ies or the like.
And about not including taxes: To me it is strange that people say it is hard for companies to do this, while their cash machines can do the calculation, so it is somehow possible. Also often it is said that it is hard because of the different taxes in different places. That means you are looking to companies that are in multiple places, like those that operate in e.g. Europe where there are different tax systems in the different countries with different currencies and yet here the same companies are somehow able to do it.
It makes it a LOT easier to compare prices if the taxes are included. In Europe we even introduced new money to make comparing prices much easier (The exchange prices where already fixed for a few years). But then the EU is much more customer driven and the US is much more company driven.
And about tipping and the quality of service: I did not notice any difference in the quality of service in Europe or the US. There where cultural difference as there are in Europe, but all in all the service was at the same level in comparable places.
I am sure the majority here never choose to be a virgin for their whole life and yet, here we are. Perhaps it is because those kids with their X-boxes are doing my mom all the time.
The drone is good and a good variation on their action camera line. The issue that it is is that the new DJI is so much better. If that one would not have been available, theu would have had a killer.
The defacto standard for YouTube is 1080 and 4K is right around the corner and that is where most weekend warriors will post whatever they film.
The thing that they should not have done is expand into areas they are not good in. What they do is sports cameras. They build the entire sports camera industry all by themselves, or as good as.
The GoPro 5 is a new standard wqhere there is no housing anymore. This is a HUGE step in the right direction. And people are buying a new camera and still be able to use the old one, getting multiple angles.
Filming in 4K while you only need HD has different advantages as well.
Soon it will be so that if you have a 720P movie, nobody will watch it, except you mom, but she is proud of you, no matter what. There are plenty of people still out there that want to see that high quality. I am one of them and I watch a LOT of non-professional videos. (And what people SHOULD learn is to edit and get sound right)
FYI this goes for working contracts as well. I will sign almost anything, because I can not sign away basic rights.All I have to say when it goes to court:"But I was afraid that if I did not sign it, I would not get the job." End of discussion. This goes for working extra hours, working as a fake independent and other things.
I know several people who had independent contracts, but where seen after 10 years as employees and the company had to pay all the extras that come with an amployee. This includes 13th month, paid holidays, bonusses that other empleyees got as well as the taxes on top of the payment.
I live in Belgium, so YMMV and talk to a lawer specialized in the matter first or your union.
Same. To me it is about what is on the box should be in the box. If you think that is worth the value they want to sell it for is your personal opinion and sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't.
Also the people do not understand that they are still overpaying. Say a brand product costs 100 and the fake one they buy for 20, you can be sure that if you buy asomething that is identical to the second one but without the fake brand name, it will be 10. I have seen where they started selling the fake ones at 80, so it looks more genuine. Now if the real product is worth 100 to you is a complete different discussion.Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't and that will differ per person and product.
There are plenty of people who believe they buy the real stuff. They buy it because they think it is the real stuff, not because they need it.
I am as against copyright as much as most people here on/. and perhaps even a bit more, but I am for trademarks. I do not want to buy a Linux toaster and then have it run Windows or Hurd.
To me it is about the fact that what is on the bow should be in the box. If that says 10% fat it should be 2% fat and not 74% fat and also not kit 1%. If it says Dior, It should contain Dior and not something with a Dior label,
So yes, please cut them down as hard as possible. And those people who only care about the price, buy something that does not say and pay even less than the inflated prices you pay for fake stuff.
This is not about HIM being open. This is about him demanding OTHERS to be open. Do as I say, not as I do.
What will happen if he opens up the rest is that those who have not yet been opened will start blocking everything he does. He will get all of congress against him. Because do not forget, the people there are congress people, not Republicans or Democrats. They just vote that way on most things so they can get re-elected as it looks as if they follow party rules.
They do not want that you rock the boat. They will protect their kind like policemen witnessing a cow orker shooting somebody in the back.
This has nothing to do with Liberal or any other form. They ALL want it, because the police is asking for it and to deny it, they will be called out on doing nothing against crime, be it terrorism, rape or whatever crime you can think of.
It is the easy way out for politicians. For the Police it is normal that they are asking for things that make their work easier. That does not mean it should be given.
I am sure that everybody has ideas on how to make their job easier. Does not mean it is always a good idea when you look at the whole.
e.g. Having no internet access will make the job of many network people a lot easier. Not always a good idea. Having no firewall will make their life also easier (bit more work for others) and also not a good idea.
Having a tag on each and every person 100% of the time and seeing what everybody does will make the job of the police a lot easier, but it is also not a good idea.
What would be needed are politicians that say "ok, when we don't do that 150 kids will be killed by terrorists and that is a price we are willing to pay for our privacy." I am not going to hold my breath for that.
I can steal one by hitting people with a Nokia phone and it isn't limited to one brand of cars. You can also use a toaster if it runs Linux.
Seriously, this is just another "via the Internet" thing that is used with almost anything to pretend it is something new. The article is "You can steal a car if you steal the keys".
Well, it is clear YOU don't run a magazine with all your fact checking.
What most do is just reword what has come of from the reuters feed and others. We live in an age where opinion has the same worth for many as fact.
So yes, I DO believe the otehr person runs a newspaper. He needs to sell, so that is what he will print. The truth is boring and does not sell as much and they can always say that it was on opinion piece when they get caught or that the source they had told it and they are not allowed to reveil their source, or worse: both.
And in the extreme worst, they put two lines of redacted on a piece that ran on the frontpage for weeks. (Yes, there are exceptions forced to do so by people who had luck and a lot of money)
If I were a republican, I would shout "Let us verify the results" as loud as possible. That way you can shut up those pesky democrats. As a side effect, you have done an audit. Nothing to be lost here.
All it shows me is that there is a blind trust from ALL sides concerning the functioning of the system.
Trust is good. Control is better.
This just to detect and solve not so much fraud, but malfunctioning of systems. Most people here have at least written a script and know that things can, no, WILL go wrong. And if you are unwilling to do this for your democratic system, you better remove that part and be done with it.

Oh, how cute. You STILL think that there are two parties.There is just one and they let you think you have a say. You don't.
It is like having 3 kids and 2 adults vote what is for dinner and now everybody has rotting teeth from all the candy.
No, just no! If a company puts lead in their products, you are not just saying that you should stop buying them. And if the law does not forbid the sales of lead in the consumer products, you do not say 'oh well'. You change the law.
