It's like I've been saying when it comes to computerized physician ordering: it's a lot harder to make a mistake when you're dragging the pen across the paper. Now you have people clicking the wrong stuff and quickly moving on.
Won't soneone think of the children?! Their parents seem too busy to. I used to work on radio and got just a couple complaints. Once for language (within FCC limits) another for interviewing a porn star and asking if she ever "dries out" in a shoot. Anyway, I explained many times I am in the entertainment business, not babysitting. Know what your kids are looking at, don't put a computer in the privacy of their own bedrooms, peek over their shoulder and look at their iPad. If you're a parent, you got yourself into this so do some fucking parenting.
Seems like this sets the stage and draw a thin gray line between fair competition and anticompetitive practices. Guess since Apple has gotten away with it for so long and justice $, DoJ will look the other way. Of course, I haven't played with Windows 8 yet, but Appstores and app reviews leave a sour taste in my mouth.
Hell, the reason I still use Windows/Linux is because there are no walls. So when is the next guy with the know-how gonna get fed up and write a new OS?
I liked Mass Effect's way of doing a few things in space warfare. There was always a consequence for whatever awesome technology was out there. Fuel constraints for FTL travel; coming out of FTL speed meant everyone knew you were there because it set off fireworks on sensors; despite the huge benefits of mass effect cores, you had to vent heat from your ship or fry your crew; and there was even issues with static charge build up from being in FTL. They took technological advances that we would think we could use without responsibility and added a level of responsibility to them. They even almost did away with fighters (they were in the story, but rare), which having them always seemed impractical to me. Warships were pretty much flying guns that fired some kind of kinetic round. They were powerful and accurate enough, you didn't need fighters.
It's why I don't buy these games often. Once you play one year, you've played every year. It takes several years for them to come out with something really new. This isn't FIFA either: NFL, MLB, etc. is the same.
I would like to think Apple would be against such intrusive invasions of privacy and human rights. Oh, hold on, look at Foxconn. Apple continues to support that company and its practices.
I seem to see a similar pathway in a lot of patients with chronic pain. They are taught to not let their pain get "out of control." This sets them on the path of being hypersensitive to pain. They'll usually take another dose as soon as they feel the pain coming on. This can increase their dosing interval, which means taking more of the substance and potentially accelerating tolerance. It's not just an issue with oxycodone, but with all narcotics.
Instead of just complaining about this stuff on/. and lobbying about these things, we need to write these reports the government likes. It seems to get shit done or at least gets the ball rolling.
This kind of data got really expensive recently. I was working on a browser plugin for weather forecasting and the rug got pulled out from under me when all the providers started charging a hefty chunk of change for access to their feeds. I'm not sure where google gets their data, but I'm sure it's from one of these guys.
Quit treating the school system as such. It isn't. Some parents like having their kids out for the summer. Some families in tourist or farming towns need their kids out of school. Some kids just don't want to learn, so don't make them. Want to help the schools? Let the kids who want to drop out get the fuck out and get a job. We need those people working in the drive through or cleaning vomit off carnival rides just like we need doctors, fire fighters, and teachers.
I refuse to wear socks or toed shoes outside of work unless absolutely necessary (i.e. mowing lawns, lifting heavy shit). Always have. So when the airport started demanding that I remove my shoes, I smiled and said no problem. I really wanted to say "catch!" as I'm pretty accurate kicking them where I want them to land, but figured TSA wouldn't get the humor in it.
There was an asteroid in the film. You're thinking of Deep Impact: the same movie, cornier, with Elijah Wood, the homely-looking love interest and a comet.
Exactly why I don't like the cloud. I hate the idea of some guy reading knowledge base and misinterpreting policy and procedure standing between some stranger and my data. I use an iPhone, but backup to my computer at home and NOT the iCloud. I backup my computer quite often to my home server, which I can tunnel into should I need it. I make my own security policies, support my own stuff, and I'm the only one who needs to login to it. In fact, that's the basic policy: I am the only one who is allowed to get it, no security questions, last-4 digits of some damn number. Just me. Once a week, I plugin a portable drive and it adds another layer of redundancy to my backups. So even if all hell breaks loose and someone kills my server and desktop, I have minimal losses compared to everything. But this does make me want to take a look at how I manage the facets of security that I am responsible for on accounts that I do not have control over.
You're obviously not taking it seriously. Sexual harassment can cause real damage to some people. Say this woman was raped in the past and a comment opens some old wounds and she can't bring herself back to work? Want to do something that doesn't draw attention? Put the big boy manager pants on and issue a written reprimand and warning to those who cause trouble and keep it confidential. "Bob, we appreciate your humor in the work place, but this was completely inappropriate. Find another outlet for your humor. Consider this your only warning, next time further action will be taken such as suspension without pay up to and including termination. Sign here." Making a guy wear an embarrassing tie only makes it a laughing matter.

What he said, illiterate fuck's.
Sounds like he's pretty gay to me.

All the more reason to use it!
Sounds like tyranny. The red coats would be proud!

My wife had a BB and says if you sent a mass text, you knew damn well you were doing it. I can say the same about my current and past smart phones.

If it helps Obama, I bet he pardons them in 2016.

I've never taken my wife seriously when she's said my poo smells so bad I could use it to fuel my truck for the life of the vehicle.

Obligatory: what could possibly go wrong?
Perhaps this would work if the asteroid was already fractured and prone to shatter? Just a thought, but the chances of that are probably pretty slim.

Verizon should take this and run with it. "No charge to tether: only at Verizon!" The sound of it makes me wanna jump ship to them.
