"I wish to sue Thomas Paine for the damage he has done to the British people." -- Horace Edwards, if he'd lived in the 1770s.
Can you name the brilliant invention, that was made to solve the problem of people like Horace Edwards? It was called America! Fuck yeah!
The story is BS. All employees do not get the cards to hand out. I have several friends that still work at Comcast, and none of them have the cards or have heard of them before this story broke.
there never were natives in England.
Everyone who can trace their ancestry back far enough will find Eastern European roots.
(I only have to go back to 1822 and I'm looking at Polack, French, Spanish, German, Greek, black West African and Scandinavian).
Don't be a shithead. Go back far enough, and only Africa has 'natives'.
The website however is total insanity from the mid 1990s.
"Would you take a real Rolls Royce to an unauthorized dealer for repairs?"
you bet your ass I would. I take my BMW to a non BMW mechanic. in fact I refuse to let the thieves at the BMW dealership TOUCH my BMW as they are no talent hacks.
Only a complete and utter fool believes that authorized means anything other than scam.
Their MSP430 is great tech but their libraries suck horribly. They need to embrace the public community and less of their in house engineers on making libraries that are worth using AND stop using a compile/IDE that is complete crap and crippled.
the GCC toolchain is decent but still clunky as all hell.
Not healing like we used to.... Damn it's annoying for healing to take so frigging long.
Oh and GET OFF MY LAWN!
Most people are too stupid to use them. There is a reason that US market cars are dumbed down compared to Japan Market and Europe Market.
Standard resistive Touchscreen tech is dirt freaking cheap. I can get 7" resistive types for $9.00 each all day long at single quantities. If I was a car maker I could get them at less than $1.00 each in 1000+ quantities.
Honestly this IR system is a rehash of really old tech that is just not needed.
What is needed is the important buttons existing as REAL HARD BUTTONS. the systems that are 100% touch are complete crap. Yes I do want my hard buttons back on android, the on screen home button is really 100% crap.
Your lips (keys) to God's ears.
Frederic Tudor may have invented the ice trade, but Walter White perfected it!
The logistics industry is quickly moving away from pallets for everything but long term storage.
Really?
Last I saw, they're moving to flatter, sturdier, permanent-use molded plastic pallets that have integrated RFID and compartments for things like GPS and batteries, that are meant to be used for many years. Sure, pallets take some vertical space, but the amount of space taken is small compared to the ability for one person to move close to two tons of cargo single-handedly across smooth floors with no more than a jack.
It has been well known that all Corporate IT security is a complete joke. CIO refuses to spend the money on it, COO refuses to make users actually follow real security procedures, and the CFO loves the "it wont happen to us" line that means they will not have to actually spend money on real IT security.
This is not new, I'm just glad that it's happening in a very public way so that maybe the worthless executives out there will actually listen to their IT experts about the fact that we NEED to spend the money to try and keep the bad guys out.
This place just isn't big enough for all of us. We've got to find a way off this planet.
