Um, you still don't understand, so I'll leave it at this. Resuscitation order by wish of the patient. A dispatcher has EVERY AUTHORITY to order you to help that person in that circumstance, and is an order given by a officer of the law. The only thing a dispatcher is powerless to do is arrest you, and that's actually by law.
No it doesn't. Their Maps app sucks (constantly telling me to turn on streets that have dead ends that stretch a mile before starting back as a road in some neighborhood, thinking the street runs the entire way)
The Camfrog App won't allow me to join 18+ rooms (saying iOS won't allow it) That's pretty broken if you ask me.
Apple - perfect products if you're a child. Useless for real-world applications.
"a dispatcher has no authority whatsoever in such matters."
A dispatcher is an officer of the law as much as the street police. Ever been inside a dispatch office? They all have badges.
That means they are indeed allowed to give orders. I've had dispatch give me orders to begin CPR and instructed me on timing and breathing when my friend's aunt died in-home.
"Instead of calling for voters and representatives to change how they operate within the system now, how about calling for a change in the system itself?"
Not happening without shooting every last one of the bastards in office, and in the NSA, and the CIA, and DHS, and the USSC.
Except for the fact your field of view isn't even CLOSE to 4:3, when you take in the entire field of view that your eyes can encompass as opposed to looking straight ahead (which is how 4:3 was first meant to 'emulate' human vision angles/perception.) It's closer to 16:9 when you get down to reality.
"well.. you just had to have the manual in your hands once or be able to call someone with the manual once."
Wrong, The Colonel's Bequest required you to identify a fingerprint every time you loaded a game. Wolfenstein3D would ask you about things like the number of eyelets Blazkowitz's boots. Leisure Suit Larry had a type of DRM to prove you were an adult and not a teenager playing the game - by asking questions only adults of that time would know (and kids wouldn't have likely learned in history books, yet.) Where in Time is Carmen San Diego came with a specific encyclopedia reference book you absolutely needed to play the game. Ultima V had the language for the game contained within its game manual, and you weren't going anywhere fast without that.
"note to Slashdot: why is the tag filtered out but is recognized? We're in 2013, not 2003."
It's called code optimization. Why use so many symbols and characters for a command when you can use fewer? This is 2013, code optimization and reduction is ESSENTIAL and EFFICIENT.
Because I can guarantee that Chase is compliant in violating California law by forcing this fee upon those trying to cash a payroll check, which may include a couple of million people. This would be guaranteed to be put in as a class action suit anyways due to sheer number of the people affected.
And I have lawyered up, that's why I'm asking who wants to join? Along with Chase Bank (And likely every other financial institution that isn't a credit union) the employers themselves need to be whipped into place for not following the law.
Sadly, this sort of lawsuit would hurt so many employers and banks in California that it's likely to collapse California's economy, but that will also fuck America's economy and maybe FINALLY force a fuckton of regulations and laws against this shit to be actively ENFORCED for once in our lives.
I object to your painfully narrow understanding of terms that now have alternate meanings. Such as in the case of fetishes, a cracker is one who likes to get whipped.
How about you drop your 1950s mentality and open your mind?
Nope, corporate will still be held liable. They dictate rules of franchise ownership. Since they make the rules, they have the ultimate responsibility if those rules are not being enforced.
" there is a legal requirement that the employee be able to get their pay without any fees, "
In California, specifically the law is Labor code section 212.
And Chase bank is helping several companies violate this law by charging fees on payroll checks (coming from that bank, maybe not that particular branch but the account being drawn upon is a Chase account.) The fee is $6.
Anyone with standing want to join me in a class-action suit to break Chase's bank?
"I don't understand why so many low-income people don't have bank accounts."
Because we got sick and fucking tired for the banks dinging us on every transaction as well, charging us overdraft fees after restructuring our payments so they could incur those fees.
Get your head out of the sand and start looking, and maybe you'll start seeing.
The iPhone sucks, because you're treated as if you're a child. Can't go into 18+ rooms on Camfrog, you're stuck to General (which usually has more vulgarity and that's where you find most of the wankers jacking off on camera ANYWAYS) or Camfrog-sponsored rooms (which universally suck.)
My POS ZTE Score treats me like an adult, and runs rings around the iPhone in terms of software availability and freedom.
" MicroTouch went on to become the world’s largest touch screen company, selling the precursor to today’s projected capacitive touch screen found on all smart phones"
Mine certainly doesn't use a capacitive touch screen. It would be much more useful if it had one.
Thanks for fucking up the world of smartphones for some of us with your patents, asshole.

Actually, my guitar gets WAY louder. I've got an amp that can pump up to about 110dB.
You could fit a bunch of PODS in a shipping container. a PODS could work for a living structure.
Go set your IKEA products out in the elements for a while and see if they even last 6 months.
My 20+ year old Panasonic dot matrix printer still works just fine. Never a problem printing text.

There's your questions for at least the first one. The VGA reboot and LSL3 questions are also listed on the right side.
Prime Examples:
O. J. Simpson is
a. an R & B singer.
b. under indictment.
c. embarrassed by his first name (Olivia).
d. no one to fool with.
(At the time, answer was D. Rather prophetic question and answer choice, though!)
The germ that transmits syphilis is
a. Spiro Agnew.
b. Spirochete.
c. Spirograph.
d. Barbarella.
(Answer C)
"The classic 4:3 ratio is better in every way."
Except for the fact your field of view isn't even CLOSE to 4:3, when you take in the entire field of view that your eyes can encompass as opposed to looking straight ahead (which is how 4:3 was first meant to 'emulate' human vision angles/perception.) It's closer to 16:9 when you get down to reality.

"Check with those brilliant programmers you know and tell me that they *never* wrote something outside of work or school assignments."
I sure as hell don't. Outside of work, I'm too busy with other stuff to bother with ASM programming.
I build them just fine because I use constant current drivers like a real LED device engineer.
China, OTOH....
Wrong. High-frequency ballasts can be found in almost every T5 and induction fluorescent on the planet.
Nowhere close to being rare.
