Don't stare too long into the abyss. If you do, Steve Ballmer's head appears and starts chanting, "Developers! Developers! Developers!" and occasionally cackling maniacally.
Why is Google even able to review the content? Content should be encrypted.
Although I DNRTFA, I read an instance in the past where the individual had made their document completely public. Would that be the case for these documents as well?
And, while I do agree with your statement, you also give up some things by not allowing Google to see your data...including searching. And, of course, the fact that the data is on Google's servers in the first place shouldn't make it a surprise that they can see what you upload to them.
For one thing, if someone called and told you a plane fell down with your brother inside, would your first impulse really be to run down to his place and "secure" his flatscreen?
Odds are your local church...organizations have initiations/hazing/etc.
Church Member #1: Do it. I dare ya. Initiate: Do you know what'll happen to me?! CM #2: Don't be a wuss. We all had to do it. We're okay. Initiate: No, seriously guys. I can't. Have you seen what happened in the movie... CM #1: Indiana Jones isn't real. Now...just drink the holy water. DO IT!
Not really. Google provides an extensive search across the e-mail. Check out the Using advanced search in Gmail article. All kinds of things to help you do the searches you are looking for. And then, you can save your searches for the future.
You should check out Transformers 2 on Blu-Ray. I was completely and utterly shocked to see the disk go straight to the movie when popped-in. No FBI warning, no previews, no commercials, no menu, just the movie, starting to play automatically. It was awesome. Now to get all future movies designed in this very way.
Of course, because it was Transformers 2, the fact that it went to the movie right away was the only good part about this particular movie experience...
You're likely to be killed in a domestic terrorist attack in the same way you're likely to die of exposure in the winter: Something to be conscious of, something to keep an eye out for, something to take precautions against, but not something to live in constant fear of.
I'm not sure what study you have given to election, but maybe I can give you a different way to think about it. (You don't have to agree of course, but I generally like various viewpoints on a subject.)
God did give us free will. This is why the fall of man happened (AKA, Adam and Eve eating the apple in the Garden of Eden). As a result, we (humans) always make our own decisions, although we may be influenced by God (via our conscience, the study of the Bible, etc) or Satan (via...well...lots of bad stuff out there - though I do not subscribe to the idea that everything that is not "good" is inherently evil). But, at the end of our day, we make a decision, for better or for worse.
Now (and this is where God's Will comes into play), God never intended for the world to be "fallen." In his creation, he did not intend for sin, sickness, disease, or whatever to enter the world. Because it did, though, he allows it. If he didn't, we wouldn't have free will. With this said, that does not mean that God won't use bad things towards his good purpose (see End of the Spear for a movie which demonstrates just this). Of course, this brings up the question - "Well, God can only respond to events. He sounds pretty impotent." This is where, as the Bible shows, God can exert his will however he wants - he just chooses not to (most of the time - miracles still happen. And I mean real miracles; not the image of Jesus on some toast).
So, in this context, God can both allow free will, exert his will in bad situations, and, should he deem it necessary, overtly use his will.
Hopefully that makes some sense. Again, I'm not looking to say that this is right, but this is some of what I learned in my own study of the topic because, as you just pointed out in your post, it can all be very confusing and I wanted to learn more.

D&D On Google Wave

· Score: 3, Informative
Those of us with beta accounts are familiar with the fact that its slow, clumsy and unexciting.
Well, it's an alpha (preview, in Google terms) account first off.
Second, I do agree that it feels slow and a bit clumsy. Of course, I'm willing to forgive that because it's alpha. I realize not everybody will be.
As for its uses, however, well, I don't want to speak to that until more people join it. Right now, it's kind of pointless just to chat back and forth between two people. However, I can see huge advantages in project planning and management, developer discussion, etc. Nothing is worse than having to wade through conversations in e-mails that are scattered across multiple threads and I can't figure out what the heck is going on. And that's just one use that I can think of. I know there are plenty more (especially as you start bringing in gadgets).
Yeah, Wave was sold pretty well, but realize that not that many people are using it yet. It still has a long way to go before it is considered "complete" by anybody's standards, much less Google's.
If it was me, i'd roll out government owned last mile fiber or high quality copper in population densities greater then 100 people per square mile
I'm not sure I understand why you'd roll out greater than 100 people per sq mi. Don't you mean less than? (As an interesting comparison, NYC has roughly 27,000 people per sq mi. Whoa.)
Hm...very interesting take on that. I'm actually going to do some research and see what else is out there regarding the Nephilim. One translation of the name means "giant" or "strong men" which Neanderthals could have easily appeared to be.
But I'm not sure how many people will be wanting to drag their fingers across a surface for 8 hours a day. One of the benefits of a mouse over a touch service is that there's less friction for the hands- all of the rubbing of objects is between the mouse and the surface.
Aren't there people who use a laptop all day long?
I wasn't. I was merely pointing out how a certain type of appearance portrays a completely different message (goth vs. prep vs. business vs. casual vs. whatever) and how important it is to dress the part for the role you want or are in to be taken seriously. (Plus, I was also a bit surprised at the change in people towards me and just wanted to relay that.)
As long as it's clean, presentable, and isn't festooned with slogans promoting criminal acts or competitors' products, it's simply not their business.
I would argue that, if your company is paying you, it is very much their business how you represent your company. What you wear outside of work - yeah, I would agree hands off (for the most part...this can't be true with all jobs). But, while you're at work, representing your employer, they have a right to say, "Here's how you should look when you represent us."
The odds of it are low, you have to work hard for years, you have to put up with politics for years to do it, and lets face it the most sure way to get there are to throw all your morals out the window and backstab your way there. On top of that all those years you're doing shit that just isn't fun. No thanks. Give me career options of that or dropping out and flipping burgers, I'll take burgers.
You're assuming moving up in an already established company. What happens if you get the idea to create your own? Sure, for awhile you can come across as the "brash, young entrepreneur" but that gets old somewhat quickly. If you want people to fund your business and trust your ideas, you have to put on a good appearance.
I don't want you to think I'm just coming down on you like "the Man," man. This is, in fact, all new to me. I'm 35 now, but I was a goth until I was about 29. I wasn't dirty (very few goths are); I dressed well (just all black), and I'm a pretty smart cookie. But it just seemed like I couldn't make anything happen. No one would hire me for anything worthwhile, despite my solid academic record and recommendations from previous employers. I blamed all sorts of things--the economy (okay, that had a hand in it), stupid HR people (is there any other kind?), the time I got diarrhea from eating the expired food in my fridge (all I had left) during the interview--but once the (tasteful--not tribal) earrings were removed, hair was returned to natural brown, and I threw some more colors into my wardrobe, things picked up almost immediately.
This. When I was in high school and early in my college career, I always promised myself I wouldn't worry about what people wore, and I certainly wouldn't ever spend a ton on clothes or worry about what I was wearing. What I did was all that mattered. Then, through some life changes, I was (sort of) forced to go out and buy a new wardrobe.
Wow.
I was amazed at the response change from people. All of a sudden, I was more respected. I was dating regularly. People found me more approachable. It almost disgusted me with how shallow it all seemed. But, in all honesty, who doesn't do that? We all judge by appearance. Those people who present a better appearance are more likely to get their ideas and thoughts heard in the first place.
