There seems to be a loophole for gas stations here. Some charge a few cents more a gallon if using credit. I stopped using a nearby gas station for picking up the practice and went to a competitor who doesn't charge extra. In fact, the competitor's price is always the same if not cheaper than using cash at the guy charging extra. It became common for a short while when some merchants had minimum purchase to use a credit card. I loved to see the look on a guy's face who tells me I have to make a $20 purchase to swipe after he's made my food. I just shrug and say, "it's all I have," and walk off.
Side-of-the-story set aside, that book made Jobs look a whole lot different than Apple would paint him today. Steve Jobs was the business man, not the innovator. I remember the book documenting an argument between Jobs and Woz's father where the latter was screaming at Jobs: you didn't do shit!!! The argument was about money. That book showed Jobs as a tyrannical, tantrum throwing, son of a bitch that everyone at Apple feared and hated (despite a lot of them made an assload of money off their stock benefits). No surprise Hollywood is trying to make him look like a saint; so many of them carry a piece of his legacy in their pocket or briefcase.
Agreed. If it doesn't get any better, I may have to go Mac. At least Mac OS still has the fundamentals Windows 8 left behind. I can figure the rest out with Xterm.
My home WPA password works on that premise. It's not in the dictionary, not random letters and numbers either but is easy enough to spell when heard if family or a friend visiting need access.
Nurses have to challenge themselves to take care of people with a myriad of backgrounds and walks of life. You have to support them in their care even if you don't support their color, religion, lifestyle, etc. They're nurses because they can do that. However, that doesn't mean any of us should shed our own beliefs and become a blank slate. We have rights just like the Jehovah's witness that doesn't want blood products when they're bleeding to death but wants you to fix them without transfusing them.
Wrong. You're blurring the simple fact patients are people, nurses are people, and we all have rights. Many patients with cardiovascular/pulmonary illness smoke cigarettes. How about locking them up until they don't want to smoke anymore? And with the rising cost of healthcare and overpopulation, let's pass out mandatory abortions and vasectomies after you've had 2 kids. Wife got a breast lump? Chop them off. No questions asked. No chemo, that shit is expensive!
My hospital gave us two options: 1, get the shot; 2, wear a mask intended for droplet isolation when in direct patient care. What's funny about the latter option is you only have to wear the mask while say in the patient's room. Droplets swirl, and travel and other nurses breathe it in and exhale it in patient's rooms. It's fucking punishment and I'm surprised it hasn't gotten legal attention any sooner. We ask every patient admitted if they've had their flu shot. If they say no, then we ask if they'd like one. If they refuse it: end of discussion! This could be an elderly patient ready to catch the flu from another inpatient and then take it to the nursing home and hack it up there, however everyone has a right to refuse. Nevertheless, many hospitals are cramming it down health care worker's throats and saying they don't have a right to refuse? Bullshit. I'm glad this is hitting the fan.
Well, wait, how big of a fire are we talking here? If you go by the saying "where there's smoke there's fire," then I'd much rather have a guy sparking up in the bathroom (which people used to be able to do without hiding in the bathroom) over the plane FUCKING CRASHING INTO THE GROUND.
Burden of proof? Ha! My state, among many others, is a right to fire... er, work state, yeah that's what they call it. You can get fired just because you like asparagus much less carrying your banned phone at work. I work with sensitive information all the time, but it's healthcare information and is of little value to most people. But really, should you be piddling with your phone at work other than to take that emergency call? How often does that happen? If my phone gets my attention, say my wife calls me 3 times in a row, I'll excuse myself from the work area to take the call. I'd be willing to bet the guy's boss in fact gives himself such a luxury.
And btw, I can remove the camera from my phone with a nail and hammer. Save that $20 for some beer it sounds like your boss drives you to drink.
Seriously, it's obviously been decided that it's as safe to use wifi inflight as it is around coffee machines and baristas, so why make an application process? Or does Starbucks has to apply now? Oh, wait, I missed that part about the FCC. Sorry I raised the question.
I usually look for a bell curve in the graph of starred reviews. If I see two curves, I usually go to read the lesser-starred reviews. This can go both ways with competitors leaving poor reviews, but you can usually tell. The other is looking at the user's other reviews. If they leave a very favorable review and it is their only review on Amazon, then chances are it's a bunch of crap. Would be nice if you could filter reviews more based on how many reviews a person has left.
Played many of them with hugs, handshakes, gropes, kisses and just about anything else you can imagine over the past 17 years. USPTO is full of shit and could mitigate this by doing a little fucking homework.
Frequency Modulation has a phenomenon known as capture. Whichever is the loudest is what you pick up in your car. So if you broadcast it with enough energy, it will break through all sorts of interfering signals on the same frequency.
Microsoft seems to have this habit of competing with professional products by releasing half-assed products of their own. A guy I'm doing web design for swears by Expression, simply because how seamless it was to edit his site. Click save and it quickly uploads changes, much faster than my preferred Dreamweaver. However, Expression sucks balls from a professional point of view.
Geocities did something like this a long time ago. There was a mass exodus which, before it really went anywhere, caused them to backpedal. Lets all start taking pictures of our dicks and seeing what we can get for them.
Nah, the dollar is so much sweeter than consumer rights when you're a big business. And most people don't mind having their rights taken away from them!
You forget the US wouldn't be around if it wouldn't be for the private stock of weapons our ancestors had laying around. I'm not sure if I've been thorough enough with my own homework, but I've noticed something like this hasn't happened in Texas (castle law) or Florida (stand your ground law).
The people in the US have ADD when it comes to the issues and our focus is on whatever is a problem in the media. When high gas prices were a discussion years ago and Katrina hit New Orleans, we forgot about the cost of gas and put Bush under fire for FEMA's lengthy response (which was partly because they had to double back out of the Mississippi River and go through Lake Pontchartrain). The fiscal cliff is a top discussion at the moment and now, with the tragedy in Connecticut, gun control will be a focus. Personally, I don't care about marijauna becoming legal or not. It's your body, so do what you want. You can already drink, smoke, and eat yourself to death... why not get high?
You can do something for someone or something to someone. I see too many people come into my ICU, many are in their golden years, having treatment turn a fatally acute encounter turn into a long unhealthy condition. What does it do for them? Nothing. What does it do to them? Torture, steals their dignity. A neuro surgeon told me something like: sometimes my job is making people's time left on earth as undesirable and expensive as possible.

iGun Dev team will jailbreak it for you.
Dood, it's CNN. Nothing but sensationalism, not news. You think smart news sells???

Isn't having a choice in your health nice?

I'd drink to that just so GameStop would hopefully get their heads outta their asses over their pricing schemes.

I would think the dark ages aren't over yet with companies exploiting a broken patent system.

...it's not a bug, it's a feature. And you have to hold it upside down to get a clear signal.
