In November 2006, her postal carrier told Lodrick that master keys to the neighborhood's mailboxes had been stolen.
I wonder why someone would go through this trouble. It is much easier to pick through the trash, where many people just tear up those unsolicited credit card envelopes or just throw them away... Victims of identity theft sometimes never realize that they were "robbed" because their trash was used against them.
What he means is that he left them in a mailbox somewhere, she came walking along and stole them. Probalby an crime of opportunity. Or someone else found them, and she new what to do with them. Of course, nobody could ever admit to their part in the crime, so the were stolen, not left lying around somewhere.
They must have outsources it to someone else, I could never believe Sony could be competent in software design. The atrocities they have hoisted onto the public were such a disgrace, I could never forgive them.
You obviously have never used a Sony UI, or and software written by Sony to access a device. Sony produce some great electronics, but seem to have difficulty in making it friendly and accessable. The software for their minidisc players was so bad people never used it. Also, I am betting that the iphone can actually play mp3s, rather than claiming to play mp3s, and then secretly converting them to atrac. And then you could never get them back of your minidisc, so you could never use it for storage.
I hate Sony for a lot of reasons. I hate Apple for DRM, one reason.
I thought people were complaining because WiFi wasn't prevalent enough and so EDGE was too slow. Now people are complaining because WiFi is everywhere and they don't want a data plan. Give it a rest! sn't it possible that having data wherever you go, sometimes faster and sometimes slower, via different means, is the best of all worlds?
Yes, good point. Two distinct sets of people are complaining about two different problems, how is this possible? Or maybe you just have a problem with the word people, and seem to believe that there is you, and then there is people (the other person).
Brilliant. You know another place I have found unblurred licence plates. Out on the street, their are hundreds of them. Surely this is some privacy violation. Something needs to be done, think of the children.
I think there maybe a good argument against google AND Microsoft/Amazon doing this, but lets be sensible here. I am not sure that readable number plates are the biggest problem here.
Does this argument even work for your kids? I doubt it.
You seem to be a bit deluded, the Chinese government are not worried. They don't mind them being posted, as long as the people in China won't see them, and they have control over that. The fact is that most people inside China have no idea what went on.
But is that really any different to the Western nations, do most people have any idea about the Gonzalez-Attorney general filings. We are just looking at 2 different ways of doing the same thing. China tries to hide things, US tries to get people interested in Celebrity gossip. Nobody cares these days, and that is the way they like it.
It depends on how you look at it. Maybe she took popular public opinion into account, and there was a chance that the war would be stopped before regime change happened. Maybe she takes into account that Saddam would not be found, and therefore a large majority of the Iraqi people would not accept the new regime, hence no regime change. It is not easy to predice how the armed forces would react to an invasion, there was a chance that they would put up more of a fight, to it to the streets of each city, thus creating a much bloodier and prolonged war.
OR.... and this is the really funny one..., you can try understand what Google actually wants, rather than running off and ranting about how great Microsoft is. Maybe you can stop ignoring, like all the other Microsoft loving morons on this site, that Microsoft is a convicted monopolist, so has different rules to abide by. Why is this so confusing for people around here. (It must be the support crowd commenting, if you don't have a script to read from then you can't make a sound judgement for yourself!)
If anyone knows a way to convince lifetime IT employees at a school district of anything please let me know because these guys and gals are stuck in 1997 and they aren't willing to let it go.
Have you tried talking to them in a non-confrontational way. Ask them if they have had any experience with Linux, if they have even heard of it? What have they heard? YOu are a teacher, learning doesn't stop for kids, try to help them learn something new.
There are already some SD WiFi cards out there, I'd imagine that the new thing that this one provides is the shape i.e. it fits entirely into the SD card. Existing ones have an antenna or a part that sticks out usually.
The device must support the SD WiFi drivers and last I checked the level of support was pretty limited.
Why spoil a stupid theory by reading the article?
No this is no the same thing. In this example, the camera (or any device really) does not need SDIO support, all it need is SD support, which so many things have. It is a way of adding seamless network functionality to any device that has SD, really. You could use it more than just transferring photos.
This right here is proof as far as I'm concerned that anybody who seriously thinks that the US Government staged 9/11, shot down TWA 800, killed JFK or faked the Apollo landings really needs to have their head examined.
Except that the "mistakes" like these are done by the government, so that you would think exactly that. You have just fallen into their trap!
Not really, but your logic makes about as much sense as the conspiracy theorists. Just because one idiot who works for the government screwed up, doesn't imply anything about other people, and other agencies? Why would it? Just like saying someone working for one company screwed up, so all companies must be incompetent, and have been for 40 years? Do you not think that sounds screwy as well?
Did you ever notice that you sound just like your dad, and his dad before them. This is more a remark on you, that your tastes have stayed the same, while the top 40 has moved on. You are old! Perhaps it is time you stopped listening to the top 40?
The largest problem with DRM as I see it (except the impossibility issue) is that the paying customer gets worse service then the pirate.
That is real life. If you steal a car, you get a better deal than if you buy one. You don't have to pay insurance, gas (for a while anyway), speed tickets. Maybe you should be trying to convince the car and gas companies to give us a better deal with that argument. (PS. I am not comparing copying music with stealing a car)
Well it worked, but the japs didn't take the bait and now what's happening? And the auto industry ain't regulated. There are some businesses that make really stupid decisions. No amount of regulation is going to stop people from being stupid.
You are right, but it is not as somple as saying the people and businesses make stupid decision. GM made a decision that would have put them ahead, and if they were the only ones they would have been happy. But when everyone followed, that screwed up the industry. All the car companies were back to where they were before, but now they lost money on the 0% financing.
It is a similar situations to when newspapers start offering free dvds. When one does it, that one paper benefits. When they all do it, they all suffer.
I will guarantee you that Monsanto spends a lot of Money on lawyers.
And I can equally promise that your average insurance company will do scary-level things to avoid having to pay out of their own pocket.
OK, agreed. So what do you think happens when to large corporations go to war, once whose whole existence depends on the outcome (Monsanto), and the other who has its finger in a lot of pies, doesn't really care about any particular case, and would be just as happy no having to payout to the farmer.
Not every farmer can afford crop insurance, in the real world that is. Maybe in your fairy land world, where insurers have an army of lawyers, and Monsanto has none. I will guarantee you that Monsanto spends a lot of Money on lawyers.
What you say is incorrect. It is a huge waste of space, and I wish I could make mine go away (maybe they could have a hide option, similar to how you can have it now). You don't constantly need to look at battery, time and connectivity level. I look at them when I switch the machine on, and then i don't want to see them unless there is a problem.
When I am trying to use a tiny screen, even at 640x480, I really don't want to waste any of it.
There's a reason why the masses love summer romantic comedies.
Well lets be fair. half of the masses love the summer romantic comedies, the other half love the action/sci-fi/fantasy extravaganzas. Or is saying somebody who loves Harry Potter is just like the masses not fit into your attack.
Blaming the Operating System for the speed on this is off base.
Sure, this sort of makes sense, until we think about hardware from the past. When I think about what we used to do on the original Palm 33mhz machines, or even back to the old Amigas. The fact is that Microsoft is not trying at all to produce a better operating system, they are just shoe-horning the PC version of windows onto these things. That is why it is so slow, and there is no excuse for it.
Yeah, I would have rather seen an article with loads of pictures of hot girls. I guess we both clicked on the wrong link? Just one of us is as big an ass to complain about it. Can you guess which one?
When I first started using Photoshop, i felt it was clumsy. I used to swear so much at the stupid things that photoshop did (probably seem quite logical to design people) - like the fact that the version of photoshop that I was using would shorten the filename for no discernable reason. After a while I found that there was an option to switch of this fantastic behavious (it was to maintain compatability between Windows and Macs), but it had to be set for each file. There were lots of little things like that, thankfully I have forgotten most of them.
This should speed up the whole process. It is not like the laws are about a decade behind technology as it is.
Do you really read stuff before you type it, or is your brain directly connected to the computer, and any stupid idea that comes into your head automatically gets sent to slashdot?
We should elect smart people rather than dumb people, honest people rather than corrupt, people who look out for the electorate rather than their latest lobbiest.
This is a common misunderstanding, due to the English languages having many meanings for one word. In this example, hot is not meant to mean warm to the touch, rather it is meant to convey the sexiness of the CPU. Clearly by the pictures, this is a very sexy beast (my favourite kind)
Not in Australia, where they are called Red Backs - I have seen them almost 2 inches big. We used to have a few living arou nd the outside of the house. As well as about 3 other different types.
Honestly, consumers just need to start voting with their dollars - don't buy copy-protected DVDs, don't buy CDs until RIAA knocks off intimidating people, don't patronize lawsuit-happy companies.
Which well never happen. It makes people feel very uncomfortable to have to think about the ethical choices they make before they buy (this counts for things like clothing and coffee as well). They would rather not hurt their brains that much. Those are the ones that even cared enough to find out that buying some products are bad, which the majority won't, unless some celebrity happens to take a stance. Have you noticed the shift to more and more brain-dead celebrities these days?
