When people ask me, I ask them basically the following; 1) What is your maximum budget 2) What doe you want to do with it 3) Where will you use your portable
Their answer is often: 1) Not too expensive 2) surfing, email, looking at pictures. I do not want it to go slower over time 3) At my desk and sitting in front of the tv
To me this means I can buy them a big screen not too fast portable and install Linux on it. And yes, how they look is important too.
One person once insisted that she wanted to run Office and PaintShop Pro. After one year I asked how often she had ran those, the answer was "Never". So she bought an overpriced computer, running an overpriced OS with overpriced anti-virus software that still slowed her PC down. And she never moved it from her desk.
Not having Free Speech is called Censorship. When people say that they want Free Speech, what they say is that they do not want Censorship. Censorship is not limited to Governments.
Even then, if Free Speech is a good idea for the government to put it into law, it is probably a good idea to do the same a public forum.
The fact that others do it does not mean it is a good idea. The majority of people had VHS and not Betamax. The majority of people do not have free speech (China). And no, I am not surprised.
So please no censorship. Perhaps what would be possible is that there is a way that you yourself can select to have new posters modded -1. That way you can decide for yourself if you want to filter new posters out or if you want to welcome new members to the community.
I would much rather work nine hours at home than work for eight in the office with even one hour of commuting.
I am the opposite. I would rather work with people then without them. I know I would be less productive and hating it while I would be doing it. I like to have my home and my work completely separated.
As the people are most likely volunteers, it would seem logical that people who volunteer, wanted to do it. Those will then be more likely to be indeed more productive.
So perhaps it is not so much about telecommuters being more productive, but people who are in an environment they like to work in are more productive. (DUH!)
Let them force people who do not want it to work at home and see if the same happens.
I have absolutely no problem with the commuting part of it. I even see it as relaxing. Most of the time I listen to books and I often take detours that takes me even longer to get home. Once I am home, I like being there and do non-work related stuff.
Many people might ask what the alternatives are to e.g. iTunes. One is http://bandcamp.com/ with a clear policy on how they charge and in what way explained right here
And placing your music online (even for free) is pretty simple. Or as they like to say themselves: So Easy Even Your Drummer Could...Well, Perhaps Not That Easy
That site does exactly what you say. Cutting out the middle man.
Wait! If The MPAA can't tell what the government does, what business can? Businesses are people too, you know. They do what we tell all people to do: vote with their wallets. (Although I probably do not think it means what others think it means.)
"i caught my roommate having gay sex" isn't homophobic
Yes it is. "I caught my roommate having sex" isn't. As long as there is a difference between gay sex, lesbian sex and heterosexual sex in the opinion of the majority of people, it will be.
Sure, it is true in the literal meaning of the world, but that is not how the real world works.
I already suspected what most of you were saying, and tried to tell him that,

Is this a late Aprils Fools posting? If anything, I understand why you can't explain why this is a bad idea for your customer: because you are inadequate.
Men are able to multitask. They are able to like a motherly type for the children, a sensual type for in the bedroom and a model to show of to their friends.
Society says this must be the same person. For men it can be several women. So yes, men ARE attracted to anorexic models. Just not all the time.
At my job every 1st workday of the month I change all my passwords. I will change them to include something of both year and month. I must have 8 (some systems can not deal with longer ones) so I add a semi random word with at least one capital in it. e.g. my password for this month could be: 1205Tinc
Using this system for many years now.
Obviously this does not take into account the passwords that I am unable to change.
Also it does not take into account the many usernames I have been given.
I use 5 different password 1) Home system 2) Remote systems. Changed once a year. This includes email, sFTP and ssh. 3) Websites (e.g./. ) Pretty unsecure 4) Bank, Credit Card,... : Secure and the same all over, but not the same as at home or remote. Change them once a year 5) Work: Changed monthly
So I need to remember 5 passwords. I am able to do this since at least 10 years, if not more.
Remember that you can use many systems for the monthly password: Xxxx1209, 0912Xxx, 12XX09xx, 2Octxxxx, Oct12xxxx and what not. The advantage is that it does not cause problems with the "Can not use the last 30 passwords". Also if the company IT messes up and reveals my last 30 password because they are not hashed, then all I will looses is the security to my work files for which they are responsible in the first place.
Mind you, I had once access to such files. When I told them I got a simple 'Meh!' as response. SO I started telling as many people as possible that the file existed, so I would not be held responsible if something would happen. Yes, I kept an email trail.
In a two party system you are right. You must have a majority and then you can ignore all the others.
In a multi party system, you can not ignore them and that means compromising. Yes, that means that nobody gets 100% what they want. However many more will get more or less what they want.
No, he belongs in a court and they will decide if he belongs in prison.
The fact that he already has done some bad things does not mean they do not need to prove this one as well. It should be an influence once is is found guilty, but not before.
First I was thinking how they could know the PIN code and then I realized that US cards do not have a chip set and no pin code.
In Europe many stores will not accept the card if the chip does not work. If they do, many will ask for a second part of ID and/or call in to verify if the card is stolen or not.
You wouldn't mock people for calling their parents to let their kid talk to grandma and grandpa over the phone.
Yes I would, if they do it for 40 minutes each day. If the grandparents are supposed to be such an important part in their lives: move. If you say that it is not possible, it is because you have other priorities and being near the grandparents is a lower priority.
What you are looking at is a technical solution for a social problem.
On a more serious note, when I was 15, I wanted to see a movie, but for that you needed to be 16, so I bought the book instead.
Years later I saw the movie and I must tell you that the book was much more, uh, adult then the movie. So kids, if you want to get around censorship on the Internets, go to the library. Shocking amount of books with adult content available.

So how would you feel if we would invade your country and brought some of our European Freedom?
Freedom was also never the reason. Money (in this case oil) is the reason and freedom is the marketing part.
If freedom would be the real reason, you would have freedom at home as well. You haven't. Companies have freedom, but you don't.

I did that and they told me my dad Roy Neary made it, just like all the other dads.

Nobody gives a shit about their privacy anymore. Most people do not even know what it is.

Because the Hunger Games are not legal.
