Managers clearly have a greater influence, but any second-rate employee can be a morale killer that hurts the economy.
Except a good manager won't allow that employee to continue as-is. Fix 'em or fire 'em.
It's not a horrible contract if both parties agreed to it
It's a horrible contract if it purports to require that consumers pay ESPN even if they don't want it. In fact, that's arguably illegal.
Isn't that all cable bundling? You pay for channels you don't want so you can watch the few channels you do want. Besides, TFA doesn't disclose what the Verizon-ESPN contract actually says.
This episode reminds me of when Steve Jobs claimed Apple was always against DRM in iTunes but had to roll with it so the record labels would sell on iTunes. Right. Just like I'm sure Verizon has always hated charging you for huge cable packages. They're just trying to find a way to secure revenue a little while longer before online distribution really loosens up.
Way too complicated a solution for the problem. "Sorry, sir your headlight is not working. That'll be $2700 to fix it.
If you can afford a car with this technology (assuming its actually possible and not only marketing gibberish), you can afford to have it fixed. And if for some reason you can't, just have normal headlights put in.
iTunes continues to work horribly for ALL other Windows operating systems...
Are there any reasons someone would have to use iTunes still? I've only ever done alternative media players/stores.
Giving one pilot (in the cockpit) the means to basically lock himself in with no ability for the other pilot to enter is too great a danger.
Except when there is a terrorist threatening the pilot outside, asking him to enter the code...
Doing anything by force or coercion on a flight won't work anymore.
And 100 other things the gov't could (and have) use as leverage to get information out of me if they wanted.
No to everything before this. Big yes to this.
Stop it. You're making it hard for us to make progress.
Maybe it's stupid. How is it hampering progress, though?
If we can make a bad AI, maybe we can make a good AI that stops the bad one.
Kind of like how the NSA is doing good spying to counteract all the bad spying.
The desktop is increasingly unimportant, or mostly an adjunct to where people do their primary computing which is portables.
Sure, if by "computing" you mean consumption. All the great things people buy and consume weren't created on portables or the OSes they run. There are still important markets in which to make gains.
Skeptics point out that the foundation smells like a gigantic tax dodge... the money remains under Bill Gates' control with not a cent of tax paid on it.
Yes... you dodge taxes so you can put that money toward the greater good of your own choosing, and not only what the government demands. That is precisely what tax breaks are for.
