We should have gone over to metric decades ago. I never saw the logic or the need to not go metric. Now, in most cases, we have label/signs that have both.
I realize we have quite a lot of time and materials that rely upon imperial measurement, but changing to metric has been on going for the last several decades and we are still emphasizing imperial measurement. How many more years will we have to wait to officially adopt the easier measurement system?
Do not agree with no message. Hidden message: Even though you may be searching for an ideal life, there will always be someone out there who has ideals that are polar opposite of yours. And neither of you will know WHO the other is or may never meet face to face with the person(s) who is screwing up your ideal life. But each of your and their actions has an effect on each other. Some call this fate, however I call this cause and effect.
Fifth Element. Just like in real life, you know you have an arch nemesis out there, you just may never meet them. Your actions are always in direct conflict with theirs even if you never come face to face with them.
If you are talking about law, then you must advise EVERYBODY coming into your house that Google Home is active and anything you say will be held accountable for under the letter of the law. Are you actually paying attention to what you are saying? The fact that you have no way modifying it to only react to the owner of the device IS THE FLAW. That is not unauthorized access, that is OPEN ACCESS.
I agree. Any monitoring device inside your own home that is accessible by third party is just plain stupid. At least with the Smart TV the creative application of cyanoacrylate on the microphone and electrical tape on the camera does not render the device entirely useless.
But that's what all commercials and ads do. They barge into your house unwanted, boost the volume of their clips above the show where the volume has been set, etc...., and by turning on the TV you ALLOWED them into your house.
I am failing to see the your logic in this (e.g there is none).
Now if a company designs a product that by default allows access by ALL and no means to secure it, then YES it is like an automatic door.
Heck, I am waiting for someone to actually be invited into someones home and out of the blue "Hey Google, list last porn site searches".
Basically the Home, Echo, etal as they currently exist are a security nightmare waiting to happen.
This is the way to go. I ran into this setting up a network at a friends business from Time Warner. They connected with their device and was broadcasting a SSID for any Time Warner account to connect to the router (granted on a different network from the internal network), but without letting their customer know about it. When I asked to be allowed access to the device because I wanted to redistribute the internal DHCP IP address pool and also turn off the SSID broadcast, they said "we do not allow customer access to our routers". I advised them it was against the customer's policy for 3rd party control over their internal network (we all can guess where this went). Advised friend to go buy a WiFi router and had the ISP reconfigure their router to pass-through mode.
That has already been deemed (in their words) "utterly ridiculous" and they do not have the capability......... And we believe that as much as the US three letter acronyms do not spy on their own citizens either (insert sarcasm here) or cause political unrest in countries they want to change.
Only the tech press? Man, I am thinking all press that rely on sensationalism vs journalism are the real problem getting facts to the public these days.
And still he fucked up the international policy of this country, got an Ambassador killed, allowed ISIS to form and thrive, (drew many red lines in the sand though). Is that the international relations he specialized in? I think he may have skipped class too many times.
I did not use OS/2 until 2.1. It was my impression from other folks that any release prior to that were not stable and quite a bit of hardware was not even supported. That is the time frame that I went exclusively with AMD hardware. Did not have a lot of problems, but a couple.
What really screwed me up was when win32 binaries came out. The only reason I left Warp was when Blizzard released Diablo and it only ran on Win 95 and above.
Thank for agreeing with the facts on this one. You may call someone a dog's ass but the fact remains the Dems. dropped the ball on immigration in SO MANY ways I have lost count. Many of their policies contradicted and/or flat out ignored existing immigration laws. Where was the Judicial Branch outrage when they ignored federal laws on this?
Obama was being petitioned to actually INCREASE the annual quota. But instead he bypassed the existing immigration laws through executive action to allow the fast track of the Green Card issuance for H1B visa holders and increasing the limit.
Most of your "anti H1B" are not against the program as a whole, just the abuse that is rampant in the industry. If companies REALLY believe that off-shoring is the only answer to not abusing the H1B system, then their business model should be questioned.
It is not that we can not have nice things, it's we can't have nice things and not pay for it. Plus there is that pesky thing called a patent to take into account.
I have left better companies because they did not allow work from home. I agree this is just another way of cycling employees out the door with no severance.
I do not think so. They said that would take over managing the two bank data centers and then eventually offshore over a four year period. But wait, there is a new IBM data center opening in India. Coincidence?

I remember the first one hitting the theaters in the late 60's. All the theater staff had on gorilla masks. Charlston Heston classic.

Thank you for supporting my point.

It's called the "Trump Effect". How better to get free publicity?

Wow,,, now that is delusional to the extreme. Now we know where the "fake news" is being created. Right here on ./
Who 'da thunk?
Now back to reality, Hillary lost because she was a TERRIBLE candidate and ran a deeply flawed campaign.
And still he fucked up the international policy of this country, got an Ambassador killed, allowed ISIS to form and thrive, (drew many red lines in the sand though). Is that the international relations he specialized in? I think he may have skipped class too many times.
Naaaah. Shit is shit no matter how you look at it (or smell). It was just that Hillary was a YUGE pile that had a public and private smell.
Probably just as hard as BBC proposed it the way they did as a Trump conspiracy vs a Clinton scandal. Nothing new here.

Buy a product that allows them to lock me out of my own house..... NOT!!
Obama was being petitioned to actually INCREASE the annual quota. But instead he bypassed the existing immigration laws through executive action to allow the fast track of the Green Card issuance for H1B visa holders and increasing the limit.
I for one did not want that direction of change. Trump wants to have US immigration laws benefit US citizens first, not last.

Garbage in, garbage out..
Anything more that needs to be said?
