What is it with people wanting to keep everything? People seem to be almost obsessed to register everything and I am seriously curious why. (and why I am not interested in doing it.)
That will be my defense if I decide to kill someone. "I wanted to file a false child abuse claim against him, but I am not THAT sick, so I just clubbed him to death."

10 minutes break is a good thing to have if you have 2 hours drive in front of you. I fill up about 1 time a week and if I could save somebodies job by waiting 10 minutes, I would gladly do that.
Never used a self-checkout. All it is is about dumping the people working the registers so management can get a bigger bonus. Thanks but no thanks. I like that those people have a job. No reason to take it away from them and all it could cost is a few minutes of my time a week.
I tried the ones where you walk around with a scanner just to see what the fuzz was about and what it does is let you stay in the store longer. Time you spend in the store is extremely important as it is directly related to turnover and thus profit.
Supermarkets have a huge range of doing sales. The ONLY way to avoid all the tricks a supermarket trows at you is very high tech. It is called a "shopping list". Make it before you go and best not if you are hungry. Stick to it no matter what. NO MATTER WHAT. You see a huge saving? Look at your list and if it isn't on there, do NOT buy it.
I would hate it that the screen changes just because I sit differently. Do NOT change the layout. There is a reason why the layout is as I have it. And my reasons are mine alone. I am sure you can NOT program them in a general calculation, even though they are very simple: 3 screens with 6 workspaces each. No Xinerama. Each screen as fixed programs on launching XFCE.
I am not sure if this will be equally or even more annoying as Copiz and other 3D stuff. Nice to see once for about 10 seconds and after that I would like to shoot the screen and buy Windows.
I am for sure not going to use it and it is a pity that people waste time at things like this while there are much more important things requesting developers.
I see no problem with the example you have give, Cookies ARE a privacy treat, If the public reads that as cookies are virusses and should be banned I am all for it.
Dancing around things does not make the bad things go away. It will just be cause for more patents that you need to dance around until at one moment you WILL trip.
Some people think the best thing is to let it go on like this and hope it gets worse, so people will see how stupid it is and then reform it. That won't happen. It can become even worse. It could be that you won't be allowed to bring out anything unless you have a patent.
Maneuvering around it is just like saying "First they came after the... "
Just use white lists on all PCs and place some 'general access' in the food area.
All the proxy server needs to do is provide the user a page where his username is confirmed and a field as to why he would need access. Access is then automagically granted for that site and the site placed in a grey list. Once in a while somebody will check the grey list and add the sites in either black or white list.
If a site is on the black list, a more 'official' request could place it on the white list.
This all would have the advantage that users are very aware of the fact that they will be logged if they go to a strange site. That means that if there is a question, people will have most likely a trace as of why they thought it was a good idea to go to goatse. So there already is a sort of social control.

Speaking with girls is kind of problem-solving, yet geeks are pretty bad at it.
Do we miss it?

With a success rate of 10% it must be certainly worth it.

Yeah. Everybody but me.
Obviously He has made the plants smart enough to make that selection. Intelligent Design and all, you know?

Well, they did not say it was wrong, just that it was too fast. 5 years later or so or even 3 and nobody would have said anything.

Ubuntu Linux is NOT an OS. It is a Distribution. Linux (or even GNU/Linux) is an OS. Ubuntu is a (GNOME Based) distribution.
Sure. That is why the USofA is handing out guns to the people of the Iraq and such as.
(Note: I am going for +5 sarcasm)
Yeah. Knowing the password is much better, because you can decide not to give it. You will be dead, but at least they did not take your money.
Grandma, did you hack Blue-ray?
War is peace, Freedom is slavery, Ignorance is strength. Open is incompetent.
Yeah sounds about right.
For exactly that same reason I rated you 'Interesting'. Just thought to let you know that was me.

So bad example.
Why not use ping and see which one is faster?

Why would I consider a non-living object as a assistant or a companion? It is an object.
Sounds like a great idea. That would mean people who are actually into music will be doing it. Should improve the quality and variety.
Here it is called PEBCAK
