If a novelist writing 1000 words per day were able to type infinitely fast, he or she could save maybe an hour per day.
That is assuming that a novelist already knows on what to type and does not change his story while he is typing.
Perhaps they think of "journalists" or a better name would be "news paper fillers". A novelist will be payed by quality more then by quantity. A newspaper filler will be payed more by quantity.
Just typing this short piece I went back 6 times to change (small) and I already knew what I wanted to say. (and changed 5 to 6, because I added the word small.)
Why one box? I have a "dual box". One is the Mobo, video cards, sound, CPU, HDs and such. Then a dual height enclosure. Dual, so I can have one for the HD and one for the USB and SD cards. The Big case I place as far under my desk as possible. The much smaller dual enclosure on my desk where I can easily reach it.
Lights are either disabled or taped over with duct tape, so they do not disturb in any way.
Once a wise man said: [...] but you can't fool all the people all the time. Them somebody said: Why should we fool them? They won't do anything against it if we do.
I hate getting presents. At Christmas I am at home. Alone! And I would not have it any other way. I will not visit families or friends even when asked. If there is an option, I will also work on Christmas.
I rather give presents and attention during the rest of the year when it isn't expected. People appreciate that much more.
If nobody wants to follow it, perhaps you should look at what you CAN fix.
Mostly this is focused at 'fixing' human behavior, but if the majority of people has an issue with it, then perhaps it is just a flay you need to take into your solution.
How many places do need a login? Websites, computers, programs,... If all websites would use openID, that would solve already a lot. However many places give me my login and then ask me to change that every month. At work every first day of the month I change all my passwords. That takes me about 20 minutes.
So I have several passwords depending on level 1. Generic websites. Lowest security level (e.g. Pa55word) 2. Work related. These will change every month and will include some sort of year/month where only that part changes (e.g. 10Work12 for this month) 3) Provider related pass word for email and connection (Resused semi-random 8 charcater password) 4) Personal password for local system and openID and banking(Reused semi-random 8 carcater password. Different from 3) 5) Secure password for encryption, ssh and the like (Loooong semi-password of at least 16 characters.)
So the moment I am forced to change passwords where I used first 3 or even 5, I will go back to less secure of 2.
The main problem is that each security person treats their security as if they are the only one and treat security with the standard error. Solving a social problem with a technical solution. It is very hard to explain people that changing passwords every month will LOWER the security.
It is the nature of people to find the way of least resistance and as long as security people do not understand that, nothing will change.
I sometimes feel that it is not about security, but about reliability. Reliability is moved from the IT department to people who do not understand security, because they 'did something' and now it is not their issue anymore. That is why they also look only to the security of 'their' system and not at security as a whole.
Police and people driving Ambulances are talking about increasing the noise levels of their sirens because many people do not hear them. The reason is better sound insulation in cars.
So on one hand manufacturers will be trying to reduce the sound inside, while the government will ask them to increase the sound outside so it can be heard inside.
And this is just because of sound insulation. I am not talking about people walking around with iPads or having the music too loud.
So I would suggest that there should be LESS sound coming from cars. That would mean less sound insulation. If all is quiet, special things will be picket up better.
Please do not start about bikers. I live in a student city in Europe and they are terrible. In most (all) European countries bikers and pedestrians have more right of way, because they are the weaker group of people. I am all for that. That means that there is a positive discrimination towards them and people in cars should pay more attention.
That said, the bikers also should understand that it is NOT a free card to do anything they like. "But I had the right of way" does not look nice on a tombstone.
Even more importantly, when looking at the weakness, pedestrians are even weaker, yet they the bikers NEVER (and I mean I have not noticed it happening one time in 10 years) stop at a crossing out of their own free will. Instead of stopping, as they should, they (try to) go around people and then look pissed of that they had to do that.
The only reason they stop is if I (or some of my friends) jumps right in front of them. If they are lucky, they say sorry, if not, they will hear why they should have stopped.
Please tell me what porn is. Then once you are done I will come up with two things. 1) Something that you explain is porn and clearly is not. 2) Something that you explain is not porn and clearly is.
And what again is so bad about porn and what again is not bad about violence?
You know, I've never understood why Europeans are so smug and pushy with their ideology towards Americans. I rarely hear Americans carrying on about the systems of government over there.
Then please get the fuck out of countries where you should not be, including Germany, Japan and a lot others. I do not give a rats ass if those countries want you there, if you say you are not interested, get out. Otherwise it is clear that you are interested.
The fact that Europeans talk about American politics is because we are informed. The average American has no clue about anything European, except that they call themselves -American.
And you know WHY we Europeans are informed? We do not watch Fox 'News'.
Why should he compare a republic to a state. Germany is a republic. So in comparison in Germany people in Massachusetts (e.g. Bavaria) indeed subsidize the healthcare of Wyoming (e.g. Mecklenburg)
Oh and about the rest of Europe. Belgium is also made out of different states where one state subsidizes the other.
And no, we do not have intercountry subsidization as you do not have with Canada or Mexico.
Please stop watching Fox as you are wrongly informed into thinking otherwise.
The only result will be that more people will be put in jail as they are part of that specific group. You have just given The Man an extra excuse (as if The Man needed one).
If I "obtain" something, it means it is mine. If it is mine, I should be able to do as I please with it, otherwise it is not mine and therefore not obtained by me.
So when you cross the border, you not only loose the right of privacy of your body, you also loose any rights to whatever you legally bought (unless you are a company. Then all is well again.)
Only those goods that were not only made but also purchased in a foreign country
I am sure that the computer you are on now was made AND purchased in another country. Then imported. Or do you think that they made the PCs, brought them over and then drove by companies and see who would be interested?
the issue really mostly affects goods bought abroad for resale.
Or to make it more understandable: If you are a company, you have more rights then if you are in individual, where you have no rights over what you 'bought'.
So you do not buy goods, you lease them. For now only for goods you bought in, say, Mexico or Canada. Soon to be extended to goods bought in another state and then in another county and last to each and every item you want or need.
Companies will say: sorry, you did not buy the item, you are leasing it for an unlimited amount of time, but we still have full rights to so what you are to do with it.
The manufacturer is under no obligation to even offer a warranty
In Europe they do. Most of the time it is covered by the retailer (from a customers point of view), but if that retailer goes out of business, the manufacturer will be the one that must cover the warranty. e.g. 2 years for electronics and 6 months for batteries.
This is about manufacturing faults. Retailers might go a bit further in the name of customer service.
