Wow, thank you for the link. I had wondered where Mr. Card stood on gay rights. His book, Songmaster seemed to be very homo-erotic. Essentially, mormons are like the Borg, they can be sent out in huge masses with a collective goal in mind. Amazingly, they got California's Prop 8 to narrowly pass. How sad. I am a straight man who is a staunch supporter of gay rights.
We must never forget what mormons did to gay rights on November 4th, 2008!
I went from the US to Barbados and came back without having to show them anything on my laptop (and there are some good pics on there). I had to take it out of the case for the x-ray machine, but that's it. Have they developed technology that dupes the hd while going through the x-ray yet?
Ditto for me. It takes me longer than most people to learn things. However, it seems like once I get "it", I really get it and gain a good working knowledge whatever it is I am trying to learn.
I was wondering the same thing, is it worth saving any/many of the movies released today, especially in lossless formats? What would be the point? How would keeping a perfect copy of "Dude, Where's my Car?" around for generations help anyone?
There is no notice required in the US. I was laid off once at 10:00 am, along with the rest of my department. We were asked to leave right after the meeting.
I am sure the government is willing to let you sit in the middle of the Mojave desert for a bit if it means they will have a better chance of stopping crime.
Maybe they will alter the design of OnStar. Instead of receiving a signal to shut the car down, your car will need to check-in with OnStar every 15 minutes to keep running.
If you cut the antenna off, or are being perused by the cops, you won't receive authorization to continue receiving horsepower from the engine. There might be other issues with this new design, but I am sure the government will consider this a justifiable cost to keep us safe.
I was wondering what would happen if everyone on the net clicked on an Adsense ad whenever they saw one (and obviously not look at the resulting page). Would enough "invalid" clicks be generated to render web ads useless? Or would Google's profits just go through the roof?
It doesn't take much to click on an Adsense link, just hit the middle mouse button to open the ad in a new tab. Then hit the tab with the middle mouse button to close it...
I'm just saying that company policy should be company policy. Either you force your employees to stick to the script, or not. If someone calls customer service, they should either have to "reseat the memory modules, reboot, etc", or not. It shouldn't depend on which agent you get on the line.
I consider it to be absurd because I expect a high level of support every time I call - I don't like calling a company over and over until I get the answer I want.
That being said, I agree that Dell provides great support to business and government.
That is all very good advice. I work for a state government and we tend to get very good support from Dell. I think that item #4 (Don't be afraid to hang up) is among the best advice. It works on other customer care centers, too.
It is absurd (but true) that you can call a given company 5 times and get 5 different answers from the various phone-drones on the other end.

I'll take my mod beating like a man now.

If your PC is "off"? I don't understand.

If I had mod points I would mod you up.

I thought California was considered left wing.
I'll Believe That...

But if you gotta go, what a way to go! Die doing what you love... Die Hard!!
As with all of my units of measure, including distance and temperature, I want this given in numbers of Libraries of Congress.
I wonder if Google is looking at something like this.
True, he who controls the long uninhabited expanses controls it all.
Probably not a native English speaker, or something. Pretty funny though.

Einhander, it isn't, but still pretty cool. We need more shooters for us old-schoolers.
Can someone please convert this to a useful unit of measure, like how many Libraries of Congress per second this is equal to?
Didn't Rush claim his hearing loss was caused by some infection?
I guess it makes sense now. He lost his hearing around the time he was abusing prescription drugs.
I really hope you are right. It is very refeshing to see consumers taking a break and not rushing to upgrade from XP.
I'm sure their goal is to deprecate all command line tools. They want you to point and click to interface with the computer.
