I was talking to an employee who was fired, but still around for a couple of days to clean up her stuff. She asked if I had backups, because she wanted to delete all of the projects she was working on. I told her that she was paid to do that work and I doubt if other people will go through her work that much anyway. Why go the unethical route when it just makes you look bad?
I bet this guy could have just left, and assuming he was useful, the company would soon be feeling the pain anyway.
Not only that, but the Time Warner retention agent tried to scare me with FUD about Google's service. From their description, any outage would cost me some $300 out of pocket and the google repairmen are all shifty criminals as opposed to the top-notch service TW delivers. (So far in 2 months, I've only had 1 wi-fi outage and that was fixed with an access point reboot.
Not some 70s style inefficient powerplant that reliably falls apart pre 100K in some way and requires half a rebuild at a minimum, provided the rest of the car is still functioning.
Er yeah, I just sold my old 1977 Chevy pickup with a 350 (5.7l) V8 with god only knows how many miles on it (the odometer rolls after 99,999 miles) and it was still running relatively well. I'll admit the rest of the truck was rusting to death, but I dare you to find even one Japanese car still on the road from even the 80s for every 10 American cars you can find.
Explorer weighs 2 tons my F150 weighs 2200 lb. And a full sized truck that gets 20mpg is good fuel economy for a work truck usually carring 1, 000 lb. Example of another full sized truck from 87 that has better fuel economy?
Dude. There is no way your F150 weighs 2200 lbs. My old 74 chevy weighed some 4500 lbs and only got about 12mpg (with a 7.4l v8). For comparison, my current 2009 toyota corolla has a curb weight of 2723 lbs. I could be wrong though, maybe ford makes their pickups out of cardboard;) That 20mpg is quite respectable, but I assume that's highway mileage.
What is discouraging is how do we decide what programs to really cut? Some want to cut civil programs and keep or increase military spending. Others want to do the opposite. It seems to be hard to determine what we should actually do.
I suppose it all depends on the hardware, but in win 7 on my 3 year old pc, subsequent load times are short, and game joining times are under a second. That's with 16GB of ram though.
Well good thing he doesn't post his paper to the internet for you. The odds of a random person being able to deduce his algorithm are much smaller than the average slashdotter.
While I completely agree with your comment, I've had some extremely delicious pineapple from the grocery store in the middle of the U.S. It makes me wonder just how amazingly delicious a fresh ripe pineapple in the tropics can actually be.
To all those who think that eating out (read at mcds or bbking, etc.) is cheaper or better or faster, a regular combo can hit you around 7$ for a single person.
Just FYI: poor people don't buy $7 McD meals, they buy two $1 mcdoubles.
The AC has a point. I bought some nice thick steaks from Costco and took them over to my friends place. While I was in the other room, his wife proceeded to season the hell out of them with some nasty package seasoning she bought, put them in the oven for too long and completely ruined them. As they are on food stamps, they never buy steaks, so I'm not really surprised they don't know how to fix them. Usually, they just make hamburger or chicken helper.
Like Google isn't doing the same thing. They announce years in advance and do nothing but cherry pick profitable areas. How many actual subscribers are in Google's territory?
Sorry, but I live in the hood and have google fiber, and my friends live in an even worse area (near 37th and Prospect) and also have google fiber. They aren't just cherry picking the nice areas.

I can't remember if ebay has security questions, but if it does, that could compromise your other accounts that also have security questions.

Reminds me of the video linked on hardocp.com the other day.
Wait... is that supposed to be bad?

Hmm. This reminds me of my mom's stories about someone infiltrating the local Green's group she was a member of some 20-30 years ago.
to tell them Google could be looking to come to their area...
And suddenly the improvements will magically appear...
You would think. But Time Warner was shitty up to the day that I switched over.

I don't know why I followed the link, but it actually gives K.S. Kyosuke cred. A.C. is an idiot and giving the product he promotes a bad image.
If you are going to make outrageous claims, at least provide a source for them. Otherwise you may not be believed.
Those are some good rules. I would add that if the cars are networked, all involved vehicles could work together to minimize or avoid a collision.

Your MP3 argument doesn't stand. It's been proven that a well-encoded 128kbps MP3 is indistinguishable to the human ear from lossless content.
That is only true for the simplest of sounds. Low bitrate MP3 is notoriously bad at reproducing cymbals. Here's a detailed article on the effects of data compression: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/apr12/articles/lost-in-translation.htm

He also recommends that you change the passwords slightly such that even if someone obtains your list it is still useless.
The government agrees that the food pyramid is wrong. They've since replaced it with http://www.choosemyplate.gov/

How do you know they weren't getting ill by touching hand railings and doors or breathing contaminated air?
According to http://www.tokeofthetown.com/2011/03/utilities_are_a_cops_best_friend_finding_marijuana.php, police have been doing this for years. "At least 60 such subpoenas are filed every month in Ohio alone, reports Dean Narciso at The Columbus Dispatch."
According to Wikipedia, the Tesla S has a cd of .24
