You're not a software company. Stop saying you are. You're a support company for open source software that your people happen to write. FYI, I tend to stay away from projects like that because they have a perverse incentive to make the product harder to use to increase support calls (RH with the kernel patch sources, Ubuntu with unity, etc.).
TV hosts, you say? Maybe this batch of papers was being used in a reporter's investigation and got shredded at the TV station then used so that they could add extra "snow" for the cameras?
It's all too easy to spin pre-shredded documents to look like your docs are being shredded when the real docs are being transferred to a safe storage box to sell to corporate spies and ID theives
That's why I mentioned interleaving colored paper.
A document scanner could also just as easily be installed between the feeder and the cutting blades to record data milliseconds before shredding.
Good catch. Didn't think of that. So essentially do the same thing we do with unwipeable HDDs: disassemble and destroy platters & solid state cache in-house. (ie shred and burn paper in-house)
Easy solution to the facebook problem... don't do it. I don't. It's an obvious trap. MySpace was too. I don't get why people are so addicted to it. "Look at me!! I'm social! I have 1000 very close friends!!!" Do these clowns know how ridiculous they look?
Most people are "addicted" to Facebook because their real friends are using it to coordinate events or announce news. Not on Facebook? You missed the party. Not on Facebook? You didn't hear about the passing of your friend's aunt. It's not Facebook that they're addicted to, it's their friends.
I remember at a local pizza place here in my home town, they had a Super Mario Brothers arcade game in their little game room, and my first thought was "who would blow quarters in that, when the home version was pretty much identical?"
People whose parents wouldn't buy an Atari, Nintendo, or Sega because "we bought you a Fairchild years ago!" Same deal with an 8088 running DOS in 1995, although I had computers available at school.
Do you know how many sunglasses are sold annually? Reduce the cost of these AR glasses enough, add in UV filters and focusable liquid lenses, and you've got the new rich man's (sun)glasses. Eventually they would become everyone's glasses.
It's 'hard' only because it's a huge - yes really - number of lines of code. Gigantonormous numbers.
Not quite Gigantonormous, but it more than doubles some sections with tests to see if you're running in 32bit or 64 bit, then using the proper size of variables.
Pointers are the main reason why software don't port between 32 and 64 bit easily. It was the same in the transitions from 8 to 16 and 16 to 32. The power of C is being close to the hardware, with less overhead. The curse of C is being close to the hardware, being harder to move to new 64-bit hardware. This is a known trade-off and it's worth it. People who don't believe it write hardware independent Java code etc, and as observed, their software usually don't provide all the desired features, hence people stick with the software written in languages closer to the hardware.
To elaborate, pointers are variables which point towards specific places in memory, and are quite useful for passing data between functions (or even other programs) without having to copy the data. A 32 bit pointer can not point to any address space beyond the 32-bit limit (4GB), so 64 bit pointers are needed in 64 bit systems, assuming they have more than 4GB RAM (often including video RAM; found that out the hard way). If one source tree is used for both 32bit and 64 bit systems, there will be the endless if-statements that I mentioned above any place where pointers are defined (and in some cases, used). And of course it affects some bit shifting, etc. This is on top of endianness, which is a whole mess unto itself.
Most "3D" movies are merely stereoscopic, containing no more data than two 2D movies, one slightly offset from the other. This "4D" movie would presumably allow zooming, changing camera angles, etc.
Following this idea, your driver licence is the mark of the beast. Last time I checked no christians, no matter how fundamentalist, [refuse to] carry it.
Corrected to what I assume you meant. Although I'm pretty sure the Amish don't carry them. FYI, the "sign of the beast" is intended to be something worn on the forehead/hand that allows buying/selling. Nothing about attending classes, traveling, etc.
I would love going back to runner-up in presidential elections becoming the Vice President. That could make for excellent gridlock within the executive branch.
It's more that we rightly view email and other written communications to be papers/effects.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
"lets" vs "will let" isn't exactly a case of opposites. If the summary had said the bill "will protect email privacy from any government intrusion" I'd say the case for opposites would have been made. As it stands, it's more of a reality vs proposal scenario.
How can they represent the common man when they don't have to worry about getting layoff, health care, mortgages, car payments, credit card bills, bank loans, retirement plans etc. type of common problems?
How can they take the time to represent anyone when they have to worry about health care, mortgages, car payments, credit card bills, bank loans, retirement plans, etc. type of common problems?
Notice that I leave getting laid off out of the list since they have to worry about that routinely and they waste a year or more per cycle drumming up support for elections. If they had to worry about the other stuff to, they'd never get any bills drafted. Huh. Maybe you're on to something after all.

strange half-man/half-flu monstrosity
How's that work? A man that constantly seeks to deposit his genetic material into others with a side effect of replication? That's 100% man!
Well, they could have been printed or copied in landscape and shredded with other documents which were not landscape.

Be sure to toss some colored paper in to make sure.
I was wondering why Mojang took two months to update some serious bugs on Minecraft PE.
But who will pay for your app? That's another factor to consider if you don't want to add advertisements to your apps.
What language can't be improved with the liberal application of parentheses?

That bang is slightly counterintuitive for geeks. I would think it means "don't use bing" not "use bing".

That naturally limits FF's RAM consumption to the 32bit address space. Bravo, they've reduced it by 90%+!

I am not thankful for Matthias' condescension. A little more humility on his part in admitting Gnome 3 is bad design would be appropriate.
Or gpu?
They could use a magnetic strip reader for the same purpose and they're cheaper than RFID.
