Depends on the situation. I find that in many cases, people from Asia tend to not look you too hard or long in the eyes, as it's sometimes considered disrespectful.
I guess it's all in what you're hoping to achieve.
Personally, I find myself looking a the person's mouth when they're talking. I have to force myself to look someone in the eyes when I catch myself doing that. Don't know if means I'm submissive or what...
This sort of "apology" is the sort of thing I expect from a petulant child and should be corrected swiftly and definitively.
Didn't the court actually instruct Apple exactly what it should write? Why not just write the notice for Apple and have them post it on their website instead of leaving it up to Apple's lawyers to set the wording?
However, I still had to LOL after reading it. Apple really has balls as big as its war chest. Bravo, Apple, bravo.
Believe it or not, this is true. It's like high school all over again.
I was talking with a friend of mine about phones (I have a dumb phone) and mentioned that it seemed people were dismissive of my choice to keep the phone I had. Noting that I was too old to care about such things anymore, I mused that having the latest smartphone does not automatically make you cool. To which she replied "Yes it does!".
I was amused until I realized she was serious. This is from a professional engineer.
And how did you initially find all these favorite news sites?
My bet would be something like what happened with me. I click on stories from a few news sites through news.google.com and find myself returning to these sites enough that I eventually just bookmark them.
Yeah, I was confused too. The article and summary refer to "mobile" broadband, yet TFA clearly quotes Lance Ulanoff referring to just broadband (not mobile).
That's three levels of "rights" to take into consideration. Is Mobile communications a right? Is Broadband a right? And THEN on top of that, is *mobile* broadband a right?
I worry about kids growing up today. There's some really stupid shit that can get them in big trouble.
You must have missed the part where the dude was 52 years old. They should fucking throw him in jail for a dozen years and pass a law that mandates the link to this video be included with every laser purchase.
Common sense? Where was common sense from this 52 y.o.?
"Outside temperatures, sun exposure and gender may trigger glaucoma"
Importantly, those with a lifetime residential history of living in the middle tier and south tier of the United States was associated with 47% and 75% reduced risks, respectively, compared with living in the northern tier...
Without having read the full paper, it seems to me that what they're saying is that your location has a lot to do with the risk. Perhaps it's the extra exposure to UV/Sunlight from snow reflection? So it makes sense that TFA finds an increase in risk for people in Scandinavian regions.
Specifially, 1,200 deaths per year can be attributed to the TSA
Sorry, but that's just sensationalism and spin, and it misstates what the paper concludes.
The paper you cite says that the 1,200 lives that were lost between 9/11/01 and 2003 "can be attributed solely to the reaction to 9/11," of which the TSA is only a part of, such as fear of flying, fear of terrorism, unemployment, airline ticket prices, and such.
I loathe the TSA as much as the next/.er but misrepresenting facts just weakens your arguments.
Can't tell if that was an allusion to the Simpsons but it's oh-so-fitting.
Groundskeeper Willy: [gasps] Boy... you read my thoughts! You've got the Shinning.
Bart Simpson: You mean "Shining".
Groundskeeper Willy: [sotto voce] Shh! You want to get sued?
Apparently, they have fake security too! From TFA:
In her first days, she was given a master password that she said allowed her to see any information users typed into their Facebook pages.,,, In one exchange, she noticed the man's password, "Ilovejason," and was startled by the painful irony.
An open trial only means that the public can assist it
I'm curious. You've used this line in a number of replies. Can you further elaborate on what you actually mean? Do you mean that Joe Public can actually assist in the trial? Because I've never, EVER heard of that.
To be blunt, the Olympic organisation needs to step up in its bid process to make sure that not only is it about getting money in to work within the machinery of an Olympics, but that any partner, and in particular its broadcast partners behave with minimum standards
Why would they need to step up? (With apologize to Lily Tomlin) "They don't care; they don't have to. They're the IOC". As long as they have their money, why should they care about the quality of the coverage? It's not like there's a competing Olympics that views can otherwise watch.
Seconded. I use Unfuddle and am really satisfied. The basic/free service is great for personal or small team use and if your needs grow, you can upgrade to various paid levels.

The market isn't buying MS phones.
I think MS is following Gandhi's quote:
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
but I think they stopped at step two.
Forget about weathermen, I'm just waiting to sue the Mayan-apocalypse-deniers when that prediction comes true. Oh wait...

RIM and MS are screwed.

Well, not quite as one-sided as you think. Read my original post about the court victory Motorola had against MS.
Does anyone know why two American companies are suing each other in Germany? Are these German patents?
And why bother suing in Germany when the US courts apparently think that they have jurisdiction in Germany too.

Just to throw out something else to consider:

Of course you can.

Of course, whether or not FB actually deletes your data is another matter.
But then they'll all be clean and we can't call them dirty hippies anymore. :)

I did some trawling of the Wayback Machine and this seems to be the study that the GP is referring to: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/83383916/4873_PickupSurveyReport.pdf

The stats are what he claims, and I don't have a spin on them. Decide for yourself.
I think what the AC is referring to is your phrasing of the deal as Apply "paying" Xerox $1 million when that's technically not what happened.

Fusaro tested the shoe on several competitive sprinters in London and hopes to refine it for the 2016 Olympic Games
It's not much of a citation but apparently he did SOME kind of testing, though it's not clear what kind of testing was performed
