The firefighters who stayed at ground zero for months weren't being 'needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few' practical like these old Japanese guys. A week after 9/11 when the rescue operation turned into a recovery operation, the mayor tried ordering NYFD to stop looking for bodies and report back to work since 'the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead'.
They didn't, and 10 years later you hear some of them complaining about needing more benefits because they fouled up their respiratory system.
Using that logic, we should all be buying souped-up computer monitors that have computers built into them, as opposed to buying the monitor as an accessory to your computer.
My story: bought a Samsung TV at exactly the wrong time (early 2010). It had DLNA capability built in (which is buggy) and a framework for Yahoo gadgets. As soon as Samsung's new 2010 models came out, they stopped supporting the 2009 models (no fixes for buggy DLNA). They changed their app framework, so the Yahoo gadget ecosystem is now dead. I learned from the experience that it's really dumb to buy a TV for it's media-player functionality. You're better off buying a dumb TV and using a STB like a Playstation that has broader support.
Every Amber Alert I've seen was related to simple custody disputes among mothers, fathers, and relatives. The kids are not in real danger, but sometimes on TV they claim danger because the kid is on insulin or Ritalin or something.
What we should be complaining about here is the USPS website and how much it needs to improve.
1) their 'clicknship' app hasn't changed much in years, and works only for Priority Mail and Express Mail. You can't use it to print postage for a regular first class #10 envelope. You can't even use it to print the envelope. This is embarrassing.
2) their 'USPS Shipping Assistant' is a surprisingly bulky.NET desktop application which you can use to print labels and envelopes. It has a lot of quirks, though. When you print an envelope out, it won't print out the ZIP+4 or any barcode.
3) You can't do 'delivery confirmation' with a #10 envelope, only with a padded envelope or package. You can do 'certified mail' with an envelope, but again you can't do it online.
3) Overall, their technology is still geared towards sending people to the counter at the local post office to mail anything other than a Mother's Day card or pay their electric bill.
I think the USPS needs to acquire Stamps.com for a billion dollars, and then let them run the USPS (as a private subsidiary) until their house is in order.
Imagine what happens when Stuxnet hits the device. The engineers working in Iran's nuclear program will all get dumped by their online girlfriends out of frustration.
Cisco-branded enterprise products should not be confused with Cisco-branded SOHO products which are suprisingly sucky. You can do all of the above with a $45 refurbished Linksys E2000 router with dd-wrt installed.
It's annoying when people make statements about how they "predicted" something 10 years ago, or someone "invented" something 100 years ago, trying to diminish the accomplishments of what people are doing today.
I'm sure the cops shouted 'pornographer!' and 'pedophile!' at the suspect out of self defense. After you call someone a pedophile, they cannot possibly hurt you, according to the Pedophile Code of Honor.
Our organization used to get wildcard SSL certs from Digicert for our internal AD domain. It was great for a while - we could enable SSL on internal servers without getting a browser warning and without having to set up our own CA/PKI. But Digicert recently pulled the plug and switched us over to SAN certs. They said the CA forum doesn't allow members to issue wildcard certs anymore for.local type domains.
I don't quite understand what difference it makes.
In late 1999 when going out with friends every conversation seemed to focus on "Napster". Peer-to-peer was new, to some extent everyone listed to music, so everyone was fascinated by it.
I take a bottle of standard glass cleaner (ammonia + surfactant) and 5% alcohol and 5% acetone. On a warm day in the shade with the doors open, wear gloves, hold your breath, spray on a crumpled newspaper and use that to clean.
The difficulty with anti-fog surfaces is keeping it clean. For glasses/sunglasses this isn't so hard since you can easily clean the lenses in a sink with soap. For the inside surface of a car windshield it's a totally different story. In most cars the inside windshield fogs up mostly because it's dirty. The windshield glass itself is hydrophilic enough that it wouldn't be fogging up a lot, but there's a layer of goop on the glass that's hydrophobic which fogs up easily. The goop resembles a mix of everything you ever smell inside the car (new car smell, old car smell, exhaust fumes, McDonalds, Starbucks, bad breath). If you try super-thoroughly cleaning one half the windshield, and not clean the other half, you'll get an idea of how bad it is.
Call your lawyer's voicemail to leave a message and record the traffic stop. Should be okay since it's your lawyer. (At least this seems like something you could get away with on the Law and Order television show.)

The headline takes on a totally different meaning if you read "PLA" as "NASDAQ:PLA", the symbol for Playboy Enterprises stock.

The major issue it would solve is trust in CA's by their shareholders that they will continue to earn profits.

Any CPU with where the number of cores is not a power of 2 makes me uncomfortable. Six cores, ten cores - it just feels wrong.

The Clovis kids were probably just playing a practical joke 10,000 years ago, burying pottery five feet under, to confuse the archaeologists.
Would be cooler to have a PS3 game where you get to control 1,716 USAF planes.
because it sort of rhymes
what are you talking about? willis?

A solar-powered table makes as much sense as a solar-powered down comforter or solar-powered underwear.
pi is the same backwards and forwards.
especially true for pi base pi.
