My fav was a lady that called in and told me "My computer is talking" (this was in 1997) I asked what it was saying she stated it was "whispering" so I said put the phone by it and I heard "If you would like to make a call please hung up and try again" it was her modem speaker.
The other one that comes to mind is the guy who stated his mouse didn't work, after talking to him for a bit I figured out he had it upside down, yes upside down, the part where your palm goes on the mouse pad.
Why learn it if you can always look it up, that's what I see happening to my friends and I, we tend to look up things on our that we used to know, for some reason the information stored is fading.
Stop using them, at what point exactly did constant entertainment become a necessity? Have any of you ever taken an electronic sabbatical, meaning no electronics (save lights and stove) at all.
They should have to tell us who the processor is, by law.
It’s not clear how many cards were breached in the processor attack, but a sampling from one corner of the industry provides some perspective. On Wednesday, PSCU — a provider of online financial services to credit unions — said it alerted 482 credit unions that appear to have had cards impacted by the breach, and that a total of 56,455 member VISA and MasterCard accounts were compromised. PSCU said fraudulent activity had been detected on a relatively small number of those cards — 876 accounts — and that the activity was geographically dispersed.
If it's a verbal question it's too difficult to prove they asked, so how will you make sure the law is enforced? It's an employers market out there and there is little you can do unless you're willing to buckle down for the fight which is going to hamper your job search... get it?
That's why I think laws against recording conversations should be dropped completely, you should be allowed to record anything anywhere...that would put an end to a lot of BS that goes on.
In United States v. Doe a federal appeals court 11th circuit ruled on feb 24 2012 that forcing decryption of ones laptop violates fifth amendment.[20][21]
I'm on the Internet where I'm going to sign up for Facebook, Twitter, Gawker, ETC, let them all build a marketing profile off me, let them build a record of my email addresses and friends/associations, allow them to build a psych profile, allow them to determine my worth, and finally I'm going to give them all that for free.
Goldman Sachs referred to their clients as "muppets" I wonder what the above refers to their customer as...
If you want things like politics and energy policy to make sense in this country the first thing you have to do is flush the toilet called Washington DC.
I could go on and on about Cheney's closed door energy meetings and Enron, how much we owe China, the general stupidity and greed of our leaders, but doesn't everyone here already know these things?
Nothing gets better until we change the people in power.

I call bullshit, no links or other evidence offered.
Are they on their way to making certain software illegal? I don't understand how you can "sue a tool maker".
To not use Facebook.
On a side note my friends and I all have a saying "never volunteer information" so Facebook is the ultimate violation of this credo.
Hey here's the keys to my Porsche because I know you won't drive it when I'm gone *WINK WINK*

If it isn't "driven" then what propels the blades? Unicorns? That thing is dropping like a rock if the engine quits.
Would you be surprised if they announced charging for them?
You forgot to mention the free anal probes at the security line.

I'm not flying or driving in that thing.
It's too much effort
You really value your friends don't you.

The same supreme court that allowed the creation of super PAC's or "corporations are people"?
Besides pointing out the obvious as an AC on /. what do you intend to do about it?
You lost me at "persuit".

No where is that more true than your /. post.

So why do it...
Those who would best run the country will not run for office.
You really believe that? What do you suppose the reason for that is?
