Do a blacklist instead. Phone on the blacklist? Don't allow it on the network (and call the cops). A kill switch invites abuse more than an industry blacklist might.
Management is a different skill than engineering. If less than stellar engineers move into management, their skill in engineering should have no bearing on whether they can manage engineers. If they try to micromanage, that makes them bad managers.
"He must have fell asleep while carving it."
"Well, if he fell asleep, he wouldn't have bothered carving ZZZ, he would have just said it."
"Perhaps he was dictating."
Lossy simple substitution since Thorn, Khen, Man, and Khon all map to Not, Suhil and Hagale map to Lagu, etc. You can easily translate some letters, but you have to use context to figure out the rest (with a vastly reduced set of possible runes if you know the secret).
Software isn't like a wall. It's complex. If a doctor or lawyer is negligent, they can be sued. If they make "all the right moves" but things turn out badly anyway, then the customer must pay again for another fix. "Drug X didn't work, let's try drug Y" "We can appeal (as long as you have money)"
I'm rating this a big fat meh:
1) this is the NSA targeting foreign enemies of the state, which is a far cry from them listening to MY cell phone.
The reason it's not a "meh" for me is because this puts the lie to the "it's only metadata" argument when applied to domestic data gathering. It proves that the "meta" data can be used to pinpoint people with relatively high accuracy, especially if they're not trying to be secretive.
How often do you deposit cash? Whenever I receive cash in change from a transaction, I usually respend it. And the cash I receive in change isn't coming straight from the bank either, it's from someone else's pocket. Unless there is a mandate to track all cash transactions, even between individuals, then there's not much point in tracking at all.
I have my settings set for the "old" classic/. because I couldn't get the "current classic" to show me 0 or -1 modded comments on my phone (the slider was broken for touch screens).
As such, I didn't know what all the fuss was about until a few minutes ago when I visited the site with another browser. Wow. First off: The header images have white text with an extremely light green (almost white) background. Who can read that?
Then the comments only extend to 30% of the window horizontally.
And, because some idiot decided to use javascript to scroll the screen, there is NO SCROLLBAR. I have to use the keyboard or mousewheel to navigate. I like the scrollbar, not just for precision movement, but also as an indicator of how many more comments I have left to read on a page.
The new Beta looks and functions poorly.
So it's not the non-proportional response that's wrong, but the nonsensical response. It's like telling a bully "don't hit me or I'll give myself a swirly in the backed-up toilet! I'll really do it!"
Of course, with a private sponsor in charge of the recently public company, the only thing that matters now is maximizing cash flows
Isn't this the reverse of the usual argument? That publicly traded companies have a duty to maximize cash flow but private companies can choose to maximize tinker toys per desk ratio.
Because SMS texts and email don't have guarantees for delivery time. We get used to fast network speeds, but I've still occasionally gotten texts and emails a day or more after they were sent.

They can and do compete with each other. The customers are city/town councils who approve local monopolies.
It's a poor craftsman who blames his tools.

there was an officially released Candy Land video game.
Tagline: "The only winning move is not to play"
Ah, they were using younger futhark, so that's why all the R's:
ur -> reidh
naudhr -> reidh
ar -> reidh
madhr -> reidh
yr -> reidh
Because:
Åruz -> algiz
thurisaz -> algiz
ansuz -> algiz
hagalaz -> algiz
naudiz -> algiz
iwaz -> algiz
algiz -> algiz
tiwaz -> algiz
ehwaz -> algiz
mannaz -> algiz
laguz -> algiz
ingwaz -> algiz
dagaz -> algiz
So their coded documents would have looked like
zzjgu zzzzknzz uzbzz uzzzzzzb zznzzrzzz jzzzzzrzzuzzzrfz zuiz zdzzzzf gzz zzzzzz zzzzzzzzzz zzz
"He must have fell asleep while carving it."
"Well, if he fell asleep, he wouldn't have bothered carving ZZZ, he would have just said it."
"Perhaps he was dictating."
And if you go with elder fuþark, then half the runes map to "z" (algiz), including algiz itself.

What do they make, oxymorons?
A lot of young people confuse the terms astrology and astronomy. Unless astrology was described prior to the poll, it requires a huge grain of salt.
The first problem in software is defining what a "bug" is.
Exactly. In fact, the first bug was an environmental factor alien to the computer itself. An actual bug in with the radio tubes.

Can't the government mandate an IQ of 100 for everyone? Obama should write a law!
Why not an IQ of 180 for everyone?
It's probably not offline. I bet it's altslashdotted.

I am Spock, Leonard Nimoy, 1995
He is both Spock and not Spock at the same time?
If you look carefully, there's a twenty year difference.
Just watch the OTA content. Even just a simple wire is often enough of an antenna.
