Coming from the company that neamed its third Xbox the Xbox One, I'm actually surprised they didn't christen it the SixDrive. It'd be great for ads:

"Xbox network integration, so you can invite a friend over to Xbone with your SixDrive!"

I prefer Simutrans. Passengers having specific destinations is essential to a transport game. It's what makes it interesting and challenging.

Yes. Precisely that. And none of your examples acceptably correlate to a member of the police force being abusive. There will always be accidents, we can accept that and take a few precautions. There will always be criminals, therefore we have institutionalized a police force. Those are the best forms of prevention we can muster because we never know who will be in an accident, who will be a criminal. We know who are the policemen. And what we cannot accept is even one member of such force using unjustified brutality. If it happens, he should be swiftly punished. If that means that all policemen must be recorded 24/7, so be it. They are on the job. There's no expectation of privacy when you're in duty, on the streets.

I'd question those hard numbers because police brutality, like sexual abuse and domestic violence, is severely underreported. However, I don't feel the need to. Look at examples. I'm going to post only one video, and not a particularly violent one, though a simple Youtube search for "police brutality" will yield lots of results. Those are the ones caught on camera. What about the ones which aren't? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

I'm very sorry to hear that and to see it moderated +5 Insightful. I hope you change your viewpoint on this topic and I also hope nothing too drastic has to occur for you to realize how terrible what you just said is.

Yes, that sucks, too. But government servants, especially those that have our sanction to act violently, must be watched as closely as you describe.

Who among us would want to remain anonymous? Especially on /.?

Full disclosure: we all know odds are I'm not one of us.

Seconded. Incredibly lame answers. He missed the obvious answer to #3:

3) "If you were a pizza delivery man, how would you benefit from scissors?" -- Apple, Specialist interview.

That would mostly depend on which neighborhoods I'd be delivering to. I suppose I could feel a bit safer, though since almost every robber has a gun, now, I'm not sure scissors would cut it. (for best results, interrupt the next question with "get it? 'cut it'", then maintain a blank stare for as long as possible)

You have no idea how right you are. It was for a position in marketing.

I actually did this once (did not get the job, despite being recommended by a friend who worked there):

-Name three of your strengths.
-Well... I'm honest and... let's see... I'm reasonably quick to spot and diagnose flaws in any given system... and I'd say I'm creative.
-Good. And do you have any weaknesses?
-I'm a liar.

Since the problem is maintaining transfer speed, it would make more sense to offer heavily discounted plans that would usually provide, say, 35mpbs, but only 1mbps at peak hours (say, 6pm to 10pm).

You just gave me the best idea ever: tattoo your passwords on your penis. The chance of losing it is small when compared to the chances of losing a notebook or piece of paper, it's a private location and chances are social engineering industrial espionage attempts will have to get pretty interesting. I can see only two minor problems with my plan: first, you might not be able to fit strong passwords in there. If you end up only being able to fit easy to brute force passwords, I suggest you use the old piece of paper method, and maybe a pump. Second, your work may be one of those that use five or six different systems, all with different passwords, and rotate them on a monthly basis. You can still stick with the idea, but oh, boy, you're going to be sore.

Also, his country wants to throw him in jail for exposing foul play, so he is forced to flee. Some other country offers shelter, perhaps in exchange for information, and so an idiot says "oh, that kind of betrayal is unforgivable". Really? Hey, US, protip: want to avoid the risk of defection? Then don't treat your own like enemies to start with.

Interestingly, in my experience, XP is only significantly faster (and has a smaller memory footprint) until you install SP2. Then it's about the same as 7.

OS analogy, in this case, boils down simply to PEBKAC. The OS did its job, but he was trying to achieve gigabit speeds on 802.11b wifi. Many fellow network admins have died doing exactly that.

It's the kind of attitude you'd expect from Jeremy Clakson, an idiot who regularly speeds and sees a fellow idiot crashing at unsafe speeds for public roads as a victim of something other than himself.

Sorry about that. We'll be appending Wikipedia to every article in the future. It's not like you could search it or Google on a separate browser tab, anyway, right?
