I agree that thas usually the genders that associate more with work but by stating
Indeed, everyone has his favorites.
All document conversions are left to the secretary (and she may do it in any way she pleases)
(emphasis mine on both) OP is reinforcing the stereotype that men are programmers and women are secreataries even though there different cases for both
Was OP pushing an agenda? I don't know but that's the problem with the engraved sexism in our society: It may not be clear to the sender and receiver that the message is sexist even though the sender may not be fully aware of it.
It's the same thing as stating that it's a fact on both professions and their respective majority of genders: your message may be conceived as undermining the problem that exists with sexism (particularly on IT) because you're referring to them as facts. At my floor, the majority of programmers are women and there is, in fact, one male secretary (to be fair, there are only 5 programmers totals:P). That's a fact on my floor.
Not judging anybody on this thread but merely trying to point out the problems with sexism engraved in our society.
I'm always baffled in trying to understand why USPS (or others) simply leave the package at the doorstep. Is that a regulation or something? I mean, what type of parcels require signature upon receiving?
In Brazil all parcels requiring signature cannot be left without a person taking responsibility for it and the post office is required to try three times (sometimes they just pretend they tried 3 times - yay for tracking) and after that they leave a notification that you now have to go the post office to pick it up.
For reference, this is the Antec 900 that parent claims look nice (first result in google images)
I know that taste is subjective but claiming that this would look nice in the living room is a stretch. I already find it horrid to have a PS3 (original), imagine this bling-a-bling christmas tree wannabe case.
wait wut? I have a folder called "Fuck It" since my first iPhone and everytime I go the jailbreak road I hide those apps (though I'd like to send them to oblivion).
PS: apps in that folder: Mail; Stocks; Game Center; Recorder; Contacts; Compass; Passbook; Reminders
Try the dude for possession of child pornography, try the dude for coercing a minor, do what you have to do. Do NOT try to make this a whole schpiel about "Oh no, cyber bullies!" or try to charge this guy for her death in any way. Even if he is entirely responsible for the picture and its distribution, he did not kill this girl, she chose to take the easy way out and just say "I give up". That's not his fault.
Showing her tatas online was nobody's choice but her own, and she certainly wasn't 'forced' to do anything of the sort. The most someone on a webcam can do is ask. If you don't want to do it, then don't. End the chat. Call Chris Hanson. Whatever.
Unfortunately it looks like she couldn't live with the results of her bad decision. I feel zero sympathy for this girl.
All emphasis mine.
Sigh... let me ask you this: When you were 13 were you this savvy and awesome as you appear to be? Probably not. Kids in their formation years have not been fucked by the rest of world to learn and understand what one action can have as its outcome.
Was it her decision to show? Oh yes I agree but it was definetely and heavely induced by someone else. If you wanted to gain someones attention would you not do something if asked?
Have you ever been clinically depressed? Have you ever felt ashamed of yourself to the point where the "easy way out" (did you use your mob face for this phrase?) was the only solution to stop feeling as less than the worst thing you ever faced?
Spare me the blame the victim act. Yes the person who blackmailed her is responsible for her death. Pushing a person off of the cliff phisically and pushing mentally are the same thing.
It's been some time since I've felt this emotional about something other than my significant other. I literally teared up during work. (Someone gave me a weird look).
As another post I do have mod points but I don't want to merely recognize the beauty in your text I want to thank you. Obviously I'm not an expert so I can't quickly fact-check what you said but it's the human/self/mind part of it that touched me.
We all see the usual "Anonymous quotes" out there but they're general and most spontaneously generated than true. Being able to see a real anonymous text to be written made my life.
Thank you. This has been saved, printed and shared.
Android is awesome that you can block permissions on CyanogenMod on a very detailed level. (not sure about stock and AOSP since I moved away from Android).
On iOS I jailbreak and run Protect my Privacy. Not as good as the CM one as it simply alerts me whenever an app request location/UID/contacts/music and asks me what I want to do (it even has some weird cloud DB where it suggests you a policy). Works pretty well though.
I find it amazing that a lot of games and others stupid apps ask for my UID. One other cool thing is that you can check on their settings if an app has requested any of those.
I find it annoying that one my banks which does absolutely NOTHING on their mobile app other balance (not even statements!) tracks ALL OF THEM while my main bank app does not track nothing at all (and does all I need). Then they ask why I never manage my money with them and only use it to bounce my paycheck.
Yep- because we all remain sysadmins/programmer our whole carers.
I've had my share of COBOL, C,.NET and all shitty programming when I made the jump to planning, architecturing and engineering of software deployments. Guess what my main tool is: Yep, Word.
Do I still want to read about stuff in/. and maybe use something different at home? Fuck yeah. Do I need some AC who probably just found out about Linux last year in his last year in HS? Probably not.
I know, I know... ACs. Either you're a dumb kid afraid of putting out your real intentions or you're afraid to hit your karma- in both cases, you're more likely to be an expendable user of this site.
Always have copies of everything you sign. And by copy I mean: (1) have them print both forms (2) check they're exactly the same - yes, it takes time (3) have all copies signed by you AND THEM AS WELL.
Been there done that. Avoided ridiculous faked sign-off sheet on a repaired microwave. Not sure who got the short stick of the blame but I got my microwave back and not the piece of shit they're were trying to give me.
Now here is the interesting part: I buy all my books through the Big A but the first thing I do is copy to my computer, remove DRM and have it being backed up in a format I can read anytime I want.
Do I send this out? No. Do I lend these DRM-free? No. Do I copy this DRM-free to all my other devices? No- I really use their reader for all devices.
I just want to make sure that in the event that they go down, my books don't go with them.
Now, let's pick this as a starting point for the spontaneous generation of the "value of the Apple boxes". Most comments are about the fact that there is resale value so the 2nd buyer buys with the box thinking of selling with the box and so on.
Joking aside- I've kept my MacBook and iMac boxes but not because of the box itself but the padding/packaging INSIDE so that when I move I have something made specifically to hold those two tightly without breaking instead of using blankets, generic styrofoam pieces etc.
My iPhone(s) and iPad? Pfff tossed right outside the neighbor's trash can. You know, I don't want to make robbers think my house has those items;)
Hm, no I don't live in corporate USA though I'm trying to figure out which part of the free world you live. Care to share? Just curious. I live in Brazil so I'm not sure if you deem it as free or not. Not that I care that much.
I think I had made myself clear when I said "Copyright and all that shit" suggesting I don't agree with copyright legislation they way it is pretty much everywhere and the "YMMV" sort of implies that my point of software license isn't true all the time. I'm sorry if I haven't shouted or something to bring my point out
Regarding company liability- as it is with anything legal it's always not 100% true or false but you can think about the Sony Rootkit CDs which, well, made them liable for the software it installed doing unexpected things in people's hardware. You don't need to agree with me neither counter it, I'm simply suggesting that as one example where the route can be taken the other way around.
Now, to best part of your arguments, which is name calling. Might I suggest you avoid that? It doesn't add anything to anybody or the discussion. Sure you had your point - which is valid, I agree, though there are specifics. I don't think most companies that allow mods to happen are happy if people start making money out of it OR take their money because of it. But when you name call, your argument is lost because you found someone who disagrees with you
But hey, at least you imply iyou have independent thoughts!
Not true. YMMV but consider that most likely what you bought is a license to run the software (not the software itself) therefore the software in question - and the data - are still owned by the company that sold you the license. Copyright and all that shit
Capcom goes a long way to this with DLC characters in their fighting game that are bundled with the disc but you have to pay to have that data already present unlocked. As sad as it is, it's not illegal for them to do that neither is legal for you to hack and make it available just because you have the data in a device you own.
You know what the best alternative is? Pay the extra or don't pay from the beginning. Simple as that.
not exactly a woosh moment in my dictionary but I can live with that. OTOH, knowing how much money you have at the time is not exactly an absolute truth:
sure you can see how much you have in hand right now, but as you said, there are pending payments and whatnot so even if you do have that amount in your hands it may not mean that's what you have to spend.
unless you determine yourself that any money in your wallet=any spend than yes but then it's just as you said- context
lolwut? easy to keep track? do you take the number of all your freaking bills?
cash is as traceable to the regular person as is your hair. don't even get me started on coins - worst invention ever.
not accepted may be a problem in your area or the type of business you're dealing with. this is such a subjective matter that I can pay from food delivery to newspaper in stands in my city in brazil with credit card.
I agree that cash is more secure- as soon as you lose it is gone anyways.
This is the most ridiculous claim I read everywhere regarding iPhones: the fact that even the 3GS still gets updates without cerains parts. You want to know what 'certain parts' are?
Pretty much every fucking thing that matters. Check here.
I own a 4S and an iPad 2 and I'm pretty sure next year I'll already see some stuff not being released to the 4S - hell, even the iPad 2 don't get FaceTime over celullar (yeah, a lot of technical reasons you know...)
Please stop saying that even the 3GS gets upgrades. At most it gets security updates which I agree it's good, but upgrades? No fucking way.

I believe the book We the author refers is the one written by Russian author Yevgeny Zamyatin (ISBN# can be found here)

That's what I wondered at first and obviously it's not flat.
I can't put my PS3 vertically as my cats tend to sort of like to bump into it (it's already cracked) so I lose one cabinet space only for it.
My Wii? There's the router, modem and even an IR received sitting on top of it, lol

Ask again later.
Ironically, that is the right answer when judging people right away.

I'll wait Windows 8.11 FOR WORKGROUPS.
I don't agree with you but can we consider the app/game LogosQuiz is a combination of what you were afraid could happen? Oh the irony of life...
