Someone is lying... that is for certain. I'm leaning more towards government because government has a long and sordid history of covering up things through lies and excuses. I remember when the secret CIA flights were exposed and government accused those of discovering it as lying.
Just signed it. Took a set of brass balls for Snowden to do what he did and, yes, he is a real patriot for standing up for the civil rights and liberties of the American people.
I conclude then that the majority of Americans are idiotic sheeple willing to give up their freedoms for only a small amount of security in return. I'm reminded of the saying, "Those that would willingly give up liberty for secure deserve none and get neither." That is somewhat paraphrased but you get the gist.
Maybe they should also increase the fee for health insurance more significantly if you're enormous. That would have to be more of a BMI thing but seriously, I should not be paying this much for insurance. I think the average increase for tobacco users is like 40% and it's even less for fat people. Well guess what! It should be 10x for tobacco users and 10x for fat people and then they can easily drop mine 4x. Talk about a motivator to lose weight and stop smoking! Flood insurance is calculated precisely by risk of actually flooding. Why not health insurance? In fact one trampoline or pool alone can double your homeowner's insurance because that's the mathematical increase in probability of having a claim. If you're 400 pounds or smoke a pack a day, I'd say your odds of needing healthcare actually exceed my own by 1000x.
So yeah, plane tickets, health insurance, buffets, hit them everywhere that it's realistic so they can get an idea of the actual impact on society and business costs because they're so damn fat.
Man are you an unhappy person. Until you are perfect, perhaps you should tone down some of the judgement.
It is a shame because the ridicule only makes the problem worse. Obesity should not be considered deviance but unfortunately it is. Once I get to my goal weight, I'm thinking of doing an event to raise awareness and empower those who are obese to transform themselves.
In the Microsoft-mind, a vendor should feel honored and privileged to be able to have a client with such world recognition that they should be willing to rent office space from the Redmond complex. It's arrogance plain and simple and Microsoft is slowly and steadily becoming less relevant in computing today. We'll see how longer MS can capitalize on its own name to charge for office space in its own complex. I wonder how many vendors eventually just say "fuck it!" and walk away
I haven't known any real uber bright bulbs with Kinesiology degrees. Might as well call it a master's degree in gym. Yup, I got me my master's in Gym! I be so proud! pfft.
If I wasn't happy with Page Plus Cellular, I would go to Ting in heartbeat. I just dropped some money on a brand new iPhone 4S at the unsubsidized price to use on PP.
I've been using Page Plus Cellular since January of 2009 and I will never go back to T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, or Verizon. With Page Plus, I am in control as there are no automated premium SMS features to sign up for and there are few gotchas. I like paying 55.00 per month for service levels that would be a lot more expensive at the big boy's doorstep and I've been contract free for four years now. I bought a brand new iPhone 4S and activated it on PP without an issue and I have an iPhone at a fraction of the service cost! 3G is good enough for all but the most demanding of video streaming.
Takeoff and landing are the two most dangerous points of the entire flight. I don't think people should be distracted by their electronic devices during these times. These rules are put into place for safety and I agree with them.
So tax payers should foot the bill for the added network and telecommunications equipment for this perk. No way! As long as members of congress are acting like two year old children, they should have no telecommuting privileges. This angers me to no end!
Lenovo was going to be my go-to recommended machine because Dell has gone downhill. It looks like the HP Elitebooks have improved but they still have shitty keyboards. I guess the MacBook Pros are now the best ones out there. After all, you can run Windows on it.
I know this is somewhat off topic but I'm reminded of when the Hillsborough Baptist Church taunted Anonymous by daring them to hack the church's website. Spokespeople proclaimed that the website was invulnerable to attack because it was 'Protected by God.' If my recollection is correct, Anonymous pwned the website in all of five minutes. This gave me one helluva laugh! If that created an argument for atheism, I've not heard a better one.

The system they have set up with recording the number of times a keyboard or mouse is replaced is NOT assuming employees will do the right thing. Rather, the assumption is made that an employee will abuse accessory replacements necessitating a system to record accessory replacement and track it down to the individual user. This system is in place precisely because the company does not trust its employees to do the right thing. If Facebook trusted its employees to do the right thing, they would have open bins for you to just grab a replacement mouse or keyboard. By the way, I hate corporate double speak. Don't put a system in place to benefit the company and then tell me how it's going to benefit me. Just be honest!
You can use SSH to create a SOCKS Application Proxy or a VPN. If you create a full VPN with SSH it is a bit slow because it uses TCP but is otherwise effective. It uses OpenSSH and the TUN driver. Plus, you might be able to set the SSH port to some more obscure, less used protocol.
I don't know why "the haters"are coming out lock, stock, and fold. For one, this is an attempt at reclaiming the art of movie making from the big budget, mafiaa studios. Instead of judging the movie by comparison to these big budget studios, watch it for what it is and enjoy the fact that it was made by some everyday, above-average joes. I'm going to watch it now.
Good for Mr. Miklos! Only the stodgiest, most anachronistic and paranoid manager would not consider telecommuting. When implemented by competent management, it cuts costs to the company and increases employee productivity.
Very well said! If a Republican comes up with an idea, i.e. legalized torture, he or she is a true patriot. If a Democrat comes up with the same idea, he or she is a fascist whom wants to take away individual rights. I'm sick of this hyper partisanship bullshit! Torture is wrong, warrant less tapping.... period. It matters not which party introduces them, they both fly in the face of the constitution.
I don't know why people even believe in this shit. What, you are all seriously so naive as to think Microsoft is not doing the very same thing? That's the whole fucking reason they offer a mail service, for crying out loud! There is no money in it for them at all unless they extract information that can be monetized. If you want a usable enough service, there can't be nearly enough ads there to pay for it. Google and MS are doing the same, they just use a common tactic of pretending like they are very different. Large-scale free mail hosting is a financial loss unless you mine the data. The data doesn't even necessarily need to be sold to third parties, there are other groups within Google and Microsoft that use it. Just think of how big of a language corpus it gives both companies to develop their other tools on. Imagine you're a search engine or a translation service startup. You're at a big disadvantage to both MS and Google precisely because you don't have billions of sentences of text as your reference.
The funny thing is, you're correct, they are naive. Ever know anyone to read the fine print? Ever know anyone to read all of the terms of service or service agreements?

Just sound like the world's biggest douche bag and say, "Cloud ... blah blah .... Cloud"

And on a weight loss program. It does seem reasonable that heavy people should pay more for an airline ticket. It promotes health.

Even more reason not to use Skype. Use an open source app like Jitsi. It does the same thing as Skype but is open source.
So I guess the router is about worth toilet paper, huh?

That is the stability of UNIX and the advantage of using a mature code base. Try doing THAT with Windows!

Well, the latter part of the 1990s at any rate.
