Anyway, what makes you think your attorney is any better than theirs? And why would you think a prospective distracted idiot will know about your attorney before they hit you, especially when you're posting anonymously?
Plus, if I were planning to hit you, and did know you had an attorney (the only situation in which your ridiculous threat has any relevance) you're merely making me realise that injuring you would be foolish, and I'd better make sure I finish the job properly.
Please, allow me to share an insight that may help you in continuing this discussion: WE DONT GIVE A SHIT
Obama, Romney, Donald fucking Duck. Who fucking cares. We're talking about the meshing of wearable technology with automotive technology and fucking healthcare is relevant only when discussing its clearly imminent need.
Now fuck off to some political discussion and let us bitch about stupid drivers.
How about the entire ERP system, end-to-end marketing, sales, billing and invoicing.
A massive humungous cost, slow and cumbersome to change, and now all possible to implement in a few days at low enough cost to put on your credit card.
You also benefit from the underlying PaaS and IaaS, so the systems scale easily and you only pay for usage so TCO is easier to predict and only rises if you grow.
I'm not arguing against replacing desktop apps with cloud based solutions, but focussing on those neglects far bigger opportunities that the market is embracing.
Everything bad that ever happened was the fault of the service department
So fix it. Be seen to be working to improve it. Where were your service introduction standards? What were your service improvement actions? Why weren't you chasing up on missing fucking RMAs?
"Since the service is so shitty, I'll be improving it by leaving, so have fun".
I'm sure you intended it to be sarcastic, but sounds as though it was brutally honest.
Depends on the ISP. Some ISPs return 404 for pages on the IWF blacklist.
Virgin Media have some issues with their service, but they're doing the right thing in informing their customers about the blocks:
Virgin Media has received an order from the Courts requiring us to prevent access to this site in order to help protect against copyright infringement.
-- what I see when I try and access thepiratebay.org
The Pirate Bay Search Torrents...
-- what I see when I try and access a proxy for that site
I'd say make the message less harsh "Unavailable pending a regulatory review"
The problem is, the page isn't unavailabe pending a review. It's unavailable because a court has mandated that it be blocked or because a review has assessed it as containing illegal material.
I'd have have 451: Unavailable for Legal Reasons followed by "It's child porn" or "The cunts at the Premier League convinced a court to get a site hosting no illegal content blocked despite the site doing nothing wrong or illegal".
Nonetheless, the page is indeed unavailable for legal reasons.
Messenger bags can also come in leather and look a lot manlier even if they are basically manbags.
My leather messenger bag looks a bit effeminate. Fortunately I'm secure in my sexuality and don't give a shit.
Also you can put a lot of extra shit into these. Like extra batteries for your phone, a shit tonne of USB cables, wall warts, battery recharger pack, headphones and other life-important essentials.
Yeah, mine has that sort of thing, can fit my work 15" laptop (snug, but no stretching), two notebooks, my Leatherman Charge TTI and random other crap.
Also borderline effeminate, but also just fucking fantastic. Camera, three spare lenses, tripod, lens cleaner, filters and my Asus Transformer Infinity all held securely, comfortably and discreetly.
My phone - currently the LG Nexus 4 - fits easily into my suit trouser pockets, my jeans pockets and the pockets on the slacks I wear for dancing.
It's safe and secure there, it's conveniently available, unobtrusive, doesn't get in the way when I sit down and doesn't require me to attach weird shit to my belt that looks stupid, digs into my abdomen and is a pain to get my phone into and out of.
Actually, I've never seen a noteworthy slide in a business meeting.
I've seen plenty. More than once I've asked for a copy of the presentation material precisely because of a single slide that I can use as a great memory aid or to summarise a project/problem/opportunity/insight.
Then again, I'm biased: I specialise in creating pictures that people carry around with them, because they're so bloody useful.
Exactly right. Address the situation in a calm and non-confrontational manner within the meeting, and if follow-up is required, do it in a respectful way.
Claiming that someone patented rounded rectangles is stupid, but claiming that someone patented rectangles is stupider.
Patenting rounded rectangles is fucking stupid.
And yes, that's what Apple have done. Sure, they've added mention of icons and shit, but frankly it's still a common sense derivation of designs that had been evolving for years before Apple even got involved.
You're saying that's what Samsung have done too. I don't give a shit. It's still fucking stupid.
A bunch of my friends pinned me down while a big fat fuck stuck his shower wet limp dickhead into my ear... shit like this is common, and it was a joke and not rape, this is why guys resent women in the military, they want change
"friends" ?
If you think that's friendly, no wonder you're confused that women want change. I'm not a woman and I'd want to change that culture too.
It's possible to create a strong bond based on trust, respect and friendship without sexually assaulting people.
Being an apologist for bullies makes you weak, not the people demanding change.

They'll be covered by their car insurance.

I'm not sure you've thought this through.
Indeed - and now imagine that conversation while doing 75mph towards a junction :)

When was the last time you tried to dogfight in your Chevy? Not too many enemy aircraft, AA guns and threats coming in vertically on the street.
HUDs help you avoid looking down. It's in the name: "Head Up"
Maybe you're safer looking at the speedometer or the satnav or the gear stick instead of looking at the road?
Tell that to manufacturers of TVs, fridges, washing machines, computer mice, keyboards, cars, desk lamps and inflatable sheep.
4) continue to manage access to their APIs as they choose, as they're currently not being (formally) accused of antitrust violations.
It could be tricky to get them on anti-trust grounds if the website still works on Windows Mobile.
Far easier would be to give everyone with a Windows phone an upgrade to an iOS or Android phone ;)
I also can't install any other browser on that phone
Really? None available?
Remind me of the bit that obliges Google to allow anybody to use their service, and particularly their APIs?
I completely accept that they're not the world's nicest company but they're not actually doing anything wrong here.
Fuck email and word processing.

This incident has fuck all to do with masturbation. It's about football.
Unless you wank to football, in which case I'm not sure how the Queen gets involved.
Fortunately for the ISPs their small print notes that they'll comply with British law.
Doesn't excuse the blocking of Radio Times of course.
Now that's just so much utter bullshit.
How often in your life has an extra four seconds been life threatening? Even if you do work in law enforcement.
Please, try and at least retain some level of credibility.

My camera bag is a messenger bag too:

An ex (with bra size G) used to put her phone into her bra.
Always bewildered me but I never challenged her on it; she didn't even consciously do it, just treated it as a normal thing that surely everybody did.

If I'm wearing a skirt I put my phone in a bag.
The problem is that the jars of hamster poop have an inverse exchange rate with dollars.
The government is going to have to give you approximately four container ships' worth of hamster poop to cover your tax burden.
Denmark is welcome to join the union. I like Danish people.
You see an aircraft carrier on that list?
Maybe the lasers were the difference.
