These manufacturers need to realize that there are people that don't want to hack their devices (like me) and people that insist on doing so. The people that don't care to will NEVER do it, and those that insist on doing it ALWAYS WILL.
The more rigid you are on something the more you hurt things for those that don't want to circumvent the system. Those that enjoy it will just enjoy doing it even more.
I remember this movie vividly as it's my single most biggest disappointing movie, EVER!
Seeing the previews I just KNEW it would be a fantastic show and on the same level as The Matrix. Boy was I ever wrong. My friends still to this day rub it in my face that I saw it at the theaters.
I was so let down, it's not even funny. I think what really clenched it was when the cavemen taught themselves how to "break in" a harrier jet the same way they would break in broncos.
However, the good side of it is I'll never forget this lesson, and IMDB is my friend when questioning whether I'm about to see another Battlefield Earth.
When I was watching this, I was thinking of the already posted: Tupperware, Amway, and other similar cheesy tricks to get someone to buy some crap nobody really wants.
This infomercial really lessens any legitimacy of Windows 7. Without seeing it, I already think it's something not worth checking out merely because of this one video. In time Microsoft will come to learn that this sort of publicity is going to turn out really negative for them.
I write a weekly column for a local newspaper. I wrote how ISP's in general are monitoring traffic and are playing with throttling.
I got a call from a Comcast PR person about what exactly they do and don't do. I just thought I myself was particularly popular and that even large ISP's were reading my articles.
I just read the Act word-for-word and to me it's very vague. It's not clear to me that the intention is to knock down global warming, evolution, and cloning. Of course, given the vagueness of the article it is a possibility.
The key words used are "critique" and "critical thinking". So it depends on which definition you use for these words.
Critique could mean anything from "evaluate something critically" or simply to "evaluate and review".
I understand the knee-jerk reaction to immediately be on the defensive and bash the Act, but it could be a stepping stone to officially include the discussion and topic of global warming, cloning, and evolution into the classroom. Then, once introduced the kids will be exposed to the subjects and be able make their own decisions.
Yes, at the worst the subjects will be painted in the worse possible light, but kids aren't idiots and they will discuss the topics amongst themselves and hopefully will be aware that there are two sides to the topics.
We've all been through public schools and I'd like to think that the entire community (including us/.ers) are not brainwashed monkeys believing whatever we read just because it's in print.
They should have put some seeds in the rover and let it deposit them in the soil. By the time we burn up on this planet maybe Mars will be ready for us to invade?
Maybe get 1 of each seed from the Arctic Doomsday Seed Vault?
It looks like a high school kid wrote it, or CEO (they're about the same). Bill Gates certainly should understand how microsoft.com works and how to navigate it.
He says that the file path to a profile is confusing; Hello! It's been around forever! The style is obviously written by someone who isn't technical at all and appears to get confused by technology. The writer is bashing multiple Microsoft products.
We'll find in a few hours that it's a fake letter and everyone who bought into it will have egg on their face.
and if you try, you'll ruin your fond memories. I've done it a few times and have been thoroughly disappointed.
Like any self-respecting computer geek I frequented the bulletin boards before Al Gore invented the Internet. I'd play co-op text adventure games with friends and be online for the majority of my waking time.
I had a chance to buy one of the BBS' I would play on and I tried to get some old friends to get back with me so we could relish in the glory days. It was awkward, not that much fun, and really ruined my memories of the fun I'd had.
Just enjoy your fond memories and don't try to recreate the situation/atmosphere/fun you had as a younger person. You'll be disappointed.
I have already though about what you said, that's why I qualified the response with "practical management".
It just isn't realistic to do all that preparation and maintenance for such little gain. It'll increase management infinitely, that's why SAN's are so popular for centralized management.
It would be best to get a NAS box and throw it on the network somewhere.
But then again, if he's bored implementing this would give him plenty to do.
This is the dumbest/. question I've seen.
Decentralized network storage pooled together with no means of practical management? Sign me up! Oh yeah, let's rely on the ditzy end users to help make sure it doesn't crash. I'm sure everyone will leave their computers on 100% of the time so you can make use of it.
Don't tell anyone at work of your idea, they might not ever stop laughing.

Damn! Where were you when my kids were that age! Yeah, I know I should have thought of it...but I didn't.
I use the computer on average about 12-16 hours a day (from 7am to almost midnight in some cases). I don't have a single pain or symptom of capal tunnel. I don't use a keyboard wrist wrest nor anything fancy for my mouse.
My wife, probably at most 1/3 of time time and had carpal tunnel relief surgery in one wrist and the other one might need it too. The doctor found rheumatoid nodules in her tissue around her wrists.
I personally believe (based only on these two cases) that the cause is more towards weight and heredity rather than actual use of the wrist.

I wanna know my link to Kevin Bacon. Do you think FB would tell all of us how we get back to him?
In an unrelated note, British Intelligence just "acquired" a new Hypersonick Glider. No details given yet.
He just had limewire on his computer. Nuff said
The Koran expressly forbids pornography of any kind. Hell, all the women have to be covered from head to toe... literally!
Since Bin Laden was an extremist, finding that he has porn which is totally against the Koran IS pretty big news.
Now that robots are learning remorse, I'm sure they'll feel bad about it soon.

Damn Netflix! Actually, I love the hell out of Netflix, especially since I have my Roku!!
I find that the Simpsons Road Rage point system for pedestrians is very accurate.
It's what I base my vehicular homicide priorities on.

I read that to the tune of "The Ballad of Jed Clampett". Amazingly it fits!

When updating the computer that controls the entire facility, HAVE AN UNDO PLAN!

Maybe his wives divorced him because he wouldn't try anything new... in the bedroom.

God put that in us so we would believe in Him. It's all part of His plan.
Your an idiot! (yes, it was on purpose)
If she wasn't acting like a whore and fucking a guy in public, it would have been caught on video and published on the Internet.
Whose fault is it?
