    A gun is designed to kill,

    Actually, it can be said that a gun is designed to push a piece of material in a (mostly) straight line at a very high speed. While this could just as easily be target practice, competition shooting, etc. the intent to use it to kill (a person, animal, etc.) is solely at the discretion of the shooter.

    The same applies to this software, it is designed to record the Skype conversation. This could be used to archive several machines / users to a central server (yes some source code would need changed, but it is now under GPL and this can be done) for "Training/Quality Assurance" purposes.

    Note: I am not disagreeing with your intent, just clarifying it a bit.

  14. Re:A computer name is not a database on Suitable Naming Conventions For Workstations? · · Score: 1

    Guess I am lucky, I support about 25 users and 20 servers. Last new user was a temp person and they got temp1GX400 person before that has been here a year and replaced a person who retired, before that was me @ + 5 years, No one EVER quits it would seem. So the machines are UsernameMachineModle I have a VB program with each user in a list, click on that list retrieves from a database the machine assigned to that user double clicking on it gives me VNC into the desktop. Would this work for a much larger office? Only if your users did not move around much I guess.

    You don't need a manual - and if you think you do - then there is already a problem!

    I disagree, I can understand perfectly well the anxiety of having the chance of a life time and not wanting to screw it up. The natural geek response to this is to read the instructions! I do agree with the first part however, keep it simple, Love, Communicate, Interact every chance you get, never pass up a chance to hold hands, etc...

    90% of the time when she has a problem she wants to talk about, SHE DOES NOT WANT YOU TO SOLVE IT, she wants to TALK about it! They have to vent and discuss and analyze and most of all gossip about the problems they have. Men just want to get things done and if it dose not work fix it. Spending time talking about a problem without the intent to resolve it goes against everything we are made up of, however that is just the way they work.

    Still trying to get this right after 17 years marriage (to the same girl) so good luck! Ooh and if you ask them which they want, they will tell you they want it solved, just don't try and offer them advice on how to accomplish that!

    Love my iPhone, ditched the earbuds on the way out of the store and bought some $24.00 ones at walmart. Work better, are black, fit down in the ear (my preference), and DO NOT SCREAM "Look everyone i have an iPhone" that just makes me sic, and the origional earbuds SUCK!

  22. Re:News report on US Agency Blocked Cellphone / Driving Safety Study · · Score: 1

    Most states already have an inattentive driving charge, but we (Law enforcement officers) cannot get a judge or even a district attorney to take the charges unless the person causes a wreck! Even if the person is all over the road. I still pull them over and and make them do a SFST (drunk test) but, what we need is for the judicial system to allow enforcement of the current law! If we can enforce it, then the ones who are all over the road can get nailed, the ones who can do 2 things at one time are still allowed the freedom to do so. Makes sense to me.

    What you fail to realize is the same thing that the other gun carriers would, that is the fact that it takes very little to rip the skin of an aircraft. With the pressure inside the cabin one shot could cause the plane to rupture, that is why the TSA agents carry ammunition made of compressed (powder like solid a pill) that will just splatter against a hard surface instead of punching a hole.

    She has the mind of a 4yo? My FULLY Self Aware 3yo would like to just shoot you and then put you in jail and do only god knows what else his imagination could think up to do to what he terms as "Bad Guys" because to kill any living person is murder! (I am a Police Officer so he knows that people who kill or hurt others are bad, he still has a bit to go on working out the whole shooting them part though...)
    You have not been around a 3-4 yo child have you? A parents TOY? What, are you jealous that your parents didn't have or take the time to play with you when you were that age? Kids are great toys at that age, and THEY LOVE IT! Most parents of older/adult children will tell you they grow up too fast, this time perhaps not so much.
