Mining missions and sustained occupation of the Oort cloud and asteroid belt getting resources for a drained earth, you could have hollowed spun up asteroids for gravity and growing food, mining of the Oort cloud for fuels and rare elements, and a 30 billion human population existing primarily in space with a possible sub-plot of near star travel using asteroid habitats. Personally I would stay away from the Moon and Mars, done to death and really boring terrain, though if it's fiction you could throw a few deserted alien cities on Mars or wreckage on the Moon.
Just how much bandwidth does CarrierIQ use? Does network congestion in part stem from this software? And finally does the end user pay for that bandwidth or have it deducted from their capped allocation.
It's installed on 26 million phones but they only gather information from 1.3 million users, so how did they decide on that 1.3 million, or does it rotate the users and the number of actively monitored phones cap at 1.3 million because their network can't handle any more than that?
I think this story might get a whole lot more interesting shortly.
The thing is, at least from my perspective, is that people are constantly searching for spiritual connection so they go to churches and temples or what not, when all the really ever had to do was quiet their mind and open themselves up, apparently this is such a simple concept very few people can buy into it in the way that I mean. But (again my opinion) it was the entire thing Buddha (and probably Jesus) had ever tried to convey, it's already in you and someone else can't give it to you. If people understood this there would be no cults, and probably no major religions either.
William Lawrence Cassidy is also a Buddhist, and is also trying to form his own "cult" and stands accused of several scams, so knowing that do you think it is out of line to seek legal help for someone "predicting" your violent death?
In addition you do not understand Karma and what it entails, you use the common Western misunderstanding of Karma which is not the case for Buddhist.
Karma isn't someone keeping score nor is it a shield against the bad this World has to offer.
1: You didn't give enough information on what you support to get an accurate answer. 2: You shouldn't be the one evaluating your own own job (see very first post) 3: Here are several common metrics which may or may not apply to your situation as they were pulled from a couple of very large corporations metrics system. CSAT: customer satisfaction based on automatically emailed surveys AHT: average handle time, or the time you spent on the phone resolving the issue ACW: average call waiting or how long did they have to be on hold to talk to you Call Resolution: self explanatory Logging: how much did you actually log in tickets to the number of calls received.
It gets pretty granular after this with things like "overall satisfaction" "agent expertise" (you're the agent) "agent listening"
One last thing, I actually snorted reading the first post because I had an "Office Space" flash back, time to hide your red Swingline.
I can understand why China (if that's who is doing it) would do this, it seems like better business sense to steal the data rather than pay for the research/development and then have to compete with an established product The thing that always comes to mind is, why is the data so (apparently) easy to steal? Why is it so available to hackers? Because as often as it seems to happen, it just feels to me like the corps getting ripped off have left the keys in the car with the window rolled down so someone drove off with it.
There is so much competition for our attention such as TV, iPods, cellphones, computers that our short term memory capacity has collapsed to the duration of the average TV commercial scene, which is somewhere below 2 seconds.
In other words 200 years ago this forgetfulness would not have been an issue.
So the leadership of Netflix makes some absolutely poor decisions that cause their stock to drop, the next thing that happens is Verizon wants to buy them (greater media consolidation?) and the stocks go up...
It would be fascinating to see who purchased the stock after ti dropped from their truly amateurish business decision.
I know legally you need hard evidence to make accusations but I would leave you with this thought, why would there be one exception to the invasion of privacy with the feds and carrierIQ when it's rampant in almost every other scenario.
So again "sophisticated" there isn't anything sophisticated about any of the things mentioned, though I would allow some moronic Texas cop might think so, but calling it sophisticated is truly stretching the word.

This isn't to say that William Lawrence didn't go over the line by predicting her "violent death".

Ahh like when you "loose" control of your vehicle.
What are "break lights"?

That means Apple will lose their factories in China eventually?
Yes Wikipedia should stay out of politics, getting involved in that quagmire will lead to their destruction IMO.
"The battle is already lost"
Sounds like something a media mogul would like you to believe.
"our" is cleverly used"
If you consider that clever then the "battle" (notice the pro military language) is lost as far as you are concerned.

It's called television and it's been programming people for decades.
1900's tech is sophisticated?
Then stop buying ebooks.
