Also, women, foreigners, minorities, point-haired bosses, liberal arts majors, and really anybody who isn't an old white man with an interest in science/math! They're all the worst!
An always on gizmo won't miss the conversation where the terraists talk about the van full of fertilizer. Or the conversation about Dear Leader that isn't reverent enough. Or even the sound effects of illegal sexual practices underway.
Granted, the cellphone will do a pretty good job of some forms of evesdropping ("Ok, Google" being something it ostensibly is always on to listen for), but not from a fixed geographic location that makes it easy to dispatch peace officers to intervene and stop the antisocial acts.
Growth can never remain exponential or even linear without a market saturating.
It's not hard at all to ignore Apple except to feel a little happier every time something bad happens to the company. Ignoring Apple doesn't equate to being ignorant about Apple.
I own three SE/30s and an Apple ][. A pair of iMac G4's in fact. (It's a real hassle to get NetBSD to run on an SE/30, it makes running Linux on a modern PC with Microsoft's encrypted bootloader seem easy. Apple has always been the kind of fuckers that people hate in Microsoft)
I've never paid Apple price for anything but a pair of iPods, the more expensive of which Apple killed less than a year after I paid full retail for it (don't buy 'stale' Apple products because the 'lifetime' starts at product release)
Apple has entered their second period of mediocrity. When a company gets huge-big like Apple has, and a key leader within the company dies, the place gets crowded with fucking suits. That's the opposite of what a dynamic company needs. They're too 'smart' now to introduce a line of Beige Boxes, but colorant can't change what their desktop line has declined to.
Maybe somebody can make a movie based on gorilla.bas. That's as good as 'Angry Birds' and it runs on my old PC-XT. Just a handheld VHS camcorder and my PC-XT. I guess it wouldn't win any awards for 'high budget.' And Microsoft would probably sue.
The reason she did it was so that her official emails wouldn't be archived and subject to the FOIA. She did it for the most undemocratic and opaque reasons.
As long as the work you are doing is breaking rocks, digging trenches, breaking battery cases open with a sledge hammer to recycle the lead, or anything else similar.
Jobs where you aim the employee at something and let them do some simple repetitive action.
Actually, they would test the power supplies, and install power line conditioners, if the voltage running the automated machines was found to be unstable, or glitchy, and causing aberrant operation.
You say "Europe" as if that's a country or a culture or a people. The EU is dead. So this idea of cultural europe which you were probably fed at some point but which was never realized is already a failed project.
Wow, you are the weirdo boss nobody wants to work with.
You don't seem to understand the environment under which drug testing is conducted, which you are forcing your employees to be exposed to.
On the surface it's all very 'clinical' and systematic. But what you're forcing your non-drug-using employees to do is hang out in a waiting room with people who do have drug problems, who have been convicted and/or are in treatment.
You're breaking down a wall of trust and forcing your employees into a setting where they are asked to piss in a bottle by people at a facility who assume anybody there is a confirmed drug user.
Using the terminology of modern 'Quality' methods, you're trying to 'test' problems out of your employees. That's the old obsolete method in quality systems. The new methods are to build quality into the 'product' and in human terms build trust into your relationship with your employees.
As in any quality system, you shouldn't have to test 100%. Your system is broken if you are forced to do so.
And there was Netscape Communicator(similar to seamonkey)
I am a SeaMonkey user, and I use it primarily because of the Composer component. It is truly a 'communication' software because it lets me easily compose WYSIWYG web pages. Mostly I use the composer to copy and paste formatted content out of other web pages, because the highlight/drag/drop functionality works so well for that, but I also like making tables of infomation/images/etc. with it.
The web was never meant to be as asymmetrical as it's become. The ideal of every machine on the Internet having an httpd and every user a home page was optimistic but could have happened.
I have only hated Apple since 1984, when Steve Jobs stood on a stage and proclaimed the sealed-box Macintosh to be hacker-proof. He meant 'hacker' in the old classical sense.
Apple is in decline. They are too big to die. But also too big to become anything but another Ford or Sears Roebuck.
It's a sad time to be an Apple Cultist. Even worse than that time when the first Apple Cultist opened their PowerBook and discovered a hard drive made by IBM.
Trench ball was the first game that made me flinch in real life. It always sucked being the last person left on the losing team, because I was better at dodging the balls that I never, ever, picked up and threw back.
Where I work*, some of the people seem to think Excel is just a form creation program. I sometimes sprinkle lower case Ls in place of 1s in numeric fields because it might, someday, upstream from me, be noticed by an engineer. Not likely, tho.
When I took typing in High School a lower case L was the proper way to type a one.

No, just millenials.
You hang out in Timmy's basement bunker? What's your safeword?
MP3 Players were also fairly inexpensive, and you didn't need to have a Mac with firewire, and install malware to load your music onto them.
It was an early prototype iPhone 4. You know, made by that leather case company in China.

Why would one need more than a VirtualBox instance of XP to run VB6?? You don't even need to throw it many resources.
Borland wasn't always like that. Something had changed in the Delphi era.
Turbo Pascal and Turbo Basic were extremely accessible back when a compiler from most vendors was the opposite of accessible and affordable.
I didn't know there was anybody else who has that. It's kind of fun.

So my local ISP curates which content they distribute via Netflix?
That's odd. I thought Netflix curated the content. They're just a portal, through which whatever content there is happens to pass?
Hay Now!
Comic Bookstore Guys need a template to follow. It wouldn't do for them to live their lives.
In the future they will run on whatever is the most used desktop operating system that ordinary people use to connect to the Internet.

However, you canned most of your game staff so now what?
Speaking as somebody who played the first 'Angry Birds' for a bit and shrugged, at least they will not be making more renditions of that stupid game.

You must have had the serial connection to the modem set to ignore DTR or it would have hung up.
