Said Paypal was fine, just eBay was compromised.

I also got an email from SourceForge saying to reset password. What's going on today?

This addon will never get old.

ThreadJack: Best Chrome add on ever...

Amen. I personally do not block ads just yet because I mostly visit sites like Reddit, /., Techdirt and some of the Twitch streamers that benefit from be consuming their content.

Besides, randomly, Reddit will thank me for not blocking ads and give me a pat on the back. Whatever. It's Something!

Actually, the elephant in the room is "Sick of the Drama". I'm not exactly sure what happened, but generally the 'drama' machines didn't come out until the end of expansion (because of being bored). Until then, people were working together, getting stuff done.

The drama machine for some reason didn't die down between Cata and MoP. MoP has been filled with nothing but trolling and fuss.

That's why I stopped. No one wanted to really play anymore, they just wanted to be crummy to each other.

I quit WoW a couple weeks ago, and I am taking online courses towards my degree. I tried Neverwinter Beta, Facebook games, picked The Sims back up, and finally just signed up for classes.

for his movie. How cool would THAT be?

Last night when I was playing with the Grandson, every time I attempted to use my phone to record, he was too busy looking at his reflection in the phone in my hand than he was at my eyes and face in which he was babbling at just prior to me trying to record him.

So far, that is the only use I have personally witnessed a use for.... besides maybe a handful of tech troubleshooting issues that could not be seen unless the picture was taken at the right height.

My problem with the whole thing is the same reason I have padded around in life without glasses at all....anything sitting on my nose will be endlessly adjusted until the screw for the ear piece falls out and the glasses fall apart.

I wouldn't mind them for watching Netflix/Hulu, but I would have the same problem I have now with my tablet..unless I'm laying flat on my back I won't be able to properly view the screen and still be comfortable. (in the case of the tablet, my arms get sore holding the darn thing up..so then I do this stacking of pillows and blankets on my bed to prop the tablet up so I can watch The Daily Show laying on my side...woops...it fell face down again and paused the show...and look, now it skipped to commercial just because it fell face down....ugh....)

Thank you. *hands you the /. equiv of reddit gold*

Yea, but the computers fall under the active directory permissions controls, and the software we install on the work stations don't have the same "give all permissions to the Devs" that apps have been broadly given.

I haven't seen a tablet yet that we can shoehorn into our existing system. It's almost time for us to look around again tho. We haven't done any "new fangled device testing" since December.

"A warning doesn’t mean that the item does do something dangerous, just that it could.". (pulled from Google)

If it "could" then that means "NO" for use with any aerospace parts being manufactured. End of Story.

I have no idea who that is, and it actually proves my point that people are taking a stance on a specific brand, device, item, etc because of what they stand to gain on global adaptation and NOT BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY SOLVES THE PROBLEMS.

Ah! How many different types of Steel Rods were they making? The understanding of the challenges of high volume manufacturing (making 30,000 of one washer) vs job shop type environments (making 10 of this latch) is lost on most people. I have worked in high volume, low unique part shops, and in low volume, high unique shops. They can't be run the same way.

No one considers ANY of that when they are talking devices, hardware, software, cloud, etc.

I just got off the phone with a tech support agent from Symantec about an issue with Backup Exec 2012. He was like, oh just let me remote in. Dude. You are in India. The file I am attempting to restore falls under ITAR regulations. I CAN'T ALLOW YOU TO REMOTE DESKTOP IN.

All I'm asking is that we stop applying a broad brush saying that ALL THE CUSTOMERS AND IT WORLD SHOULD WORK THIS WAY....when one doesn't even understand all the challenges involved across all IT Environments.

Do you want the companies that make parts for your cars and airplanes to be able to be connected to the Internet to run while making parts? Are you saying that you trust the machine that you are relying to stay in the air at 35,000 to be forced to have to run it's applications and operating system from the Internet...the same Internet that 4chan uses?

Stop saying that "EVERYONE" can migrate to "ALWAYS ONLINE".
