A lot of humans did die out from eating things that they shouldn't have. We learned not to do that. So yes, it is human nature to do it. What's also human nature, however, is for a parent to stop their child from doing it since other dead humans have showed us to not do it. Continued human nature means that the parent might be looking away for half a second, which is all it will take for their child to eat something they shouldn't.
The number of people you'll find owning SUVs that actually do anything sporty or utility-like is pretty much a rounding error. The same with people driving pickups. They think they look cool so they buy them. Around here, these tend to also be the people I see in the ditch the most in snow because they think that their vehicle will keep them safe without actually having any driving ability.
I wasn't aware that employees of credit unions are exempt from paying taxes... By providing local employment, that sure seems like providing something to the local economy. I also wasn't aware that if a credit union is building a branch office or remodeling, they get the work done for free. I guess they also get electricity, water, internet, etc for free, thus not contributing to local economy? Shocking stuff to discover... Credit unions are also not-for-profit organizations, so it isn't quite an apples to apples comparison. Banks exist to create a profit. Credit unions do not.
Scientology is just one of the many things that should've made you lose faith for the human race. There is a long list of things that should make most people lose faith in humanity. Things like Jersey Shore, for instance.
Easy way to rule out picking someone with the golden immune system of the gods... All employees of the TSA have to go in for a month. And any politicians who voted for approving anything TSA related.
Um... what does the Kindle have to do with iTunes? I know there's a Kindle app you can get from iTunes, but then she'd be loading books on her iDevice and not her Kindle, so that can't be it. iTunes to Kindle isn't a valid comparison in any way.
They just don't want to be forced to pay for someone else's.
That's an argument I've never understood anyways. Other people paying for your healthcare is how insurance works to begin with. Do you think your premiums go into your own personal account with the insurance company?
Real programmers don't draw flowcharts. Flowcharts are, after all, the illiterate's form of documentation. Cavemen drew flowcharts; look how much it did for them.
So would you prefer a pre-monsanto world, with 4% the current yields? You benefit, greatly, from their billions of dollars of research and development. Without modern seeds, there would not be enough food to go around.
Use tax is an attempt to do a runaround of the taxing interstate commerce bit. So no, they don't have a power to tax out-of-state purchases, they just think they do.
This topic seems to be familiar. I've posted before about this type of topic, but this isn't anything groundbreaking. Cars with infotainment systems have had updates for quite some time. The only thing different between their update and updates for my car is they do USB, but for me it's a DVD. Slip the disc in, and let it update the system. This is really stretching the DIY term a bit I think. You're not manually patching any files in, you're just connecting a USB stick and let it go.
1. No one will read those emails / status updates, eventually. After reading 3 or 4 updates from the other team and realizing I have no interest in what they're doing, I'll never read another. Even though 4 weeks from now, they're going to get a new project or come across an issue I can offer some help/insight on.
That's really no different than any meetings. If you're standing around, and 90% of the people doing their status updates are in areas you're not involved in, you'll just space out and tune them out. If your team for a project is 3 members, I'd hope you'd be capable of reading 2 emails in a day for status updates. I guess basically what the problem is is that humans just don't scale well.
This may sound like a get off my lawn type post, but from what I've seen it seems that the writing ability of younger people has severely declined. And it's not even that big a difference in age that I'm talking about here, I'm talking about people less than 10 years younger than me. I "abuse" the language a fair amount myself, but I'm talking about seeing people thinking column has a b in it, and despair doesn't have an e. There are fluctuations in the language that I'm used to; such as the color vs. colour thing; but basic spelling problems that would not be correct in any dialect seems to be pretty common. And of course we have the their vs. there problem.
Er... You're annoyed because the headline is provocative and misleading? I'm guessing you haven't seen many headlines... Provocative yes, but I wouldn't say misleading in this case. Is there card data stored in plain text? Yes. You made an assumption here, and you know what they say about assumptions. I thought it was going to be talking about full credit card data too, so while it isn't as bad as I thought, it still isn't good.
Ah, problem with the PHB eh? I was lucky... When we moved into our current office we had to run new wires anyways since we broke down walls and opened things up, so we have 1 voice and 2 data run everywhere. We're now VOIP and the phones to PoE. The phones are also on their own switch. We're fairly small though; less than 20 of us; and the boss trusts me so he doesn't really question my decisions.
You'd run VOIP phones on the same network as your normal boxes? I guess if you didn't do double or triple runs you might not have an option, but or VOIP phones have their own segment. LAN traffic doesn't mingle with phone traffic. Might be overkill I suppose, but do you have to mingle traffic?
I think you're missing the point. I've updated the in-car GPS/radio in my car several times with a DVD from the car manufacturer. This isn't after-market. My car is 3 years old. It isn't a Ford either. The only new part (to me) is the delivery mechanism.
I've never known 0-day to mean that. 0-day has to me always meant an exploit in the wild before the author is aware of it vs. an exploit taking advantage of a bug that was fixed a month ago but people haven't applied the patch.
Which one gets recorded by the DVR? Is DVR even an option? My TV can do HD, but I set most everything to record on the DVR as SD because HD eats disk space very quickly

No, the reason we didn't stop 9/11 is because the shrub ignored what he was being told.

While I applaud what you claim to have done, you did not invent the word spam.

I've not heard of animals mating with vegetables in normal evolution.
Just make friends with somebody that has HBO and have them set you up with a HBO Go account.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Did you read the article? The door was open. You can't clam you can't be confident in a security feature when that feature isn't used.

PageRank never worked. Google has, for a very long time, been showing spam results at the top for years.
