and the platform choice is similarly unfocused; Windows is required with linux optional... but preferred. I would take that to be a practitioner's choice not a user or client perspective.

If the objective is to be a desktop OS that everyone can use then
That does seem to be a goal of some distributions, Ubuntu for example. It's not a goal of the linux kernel since by nature not everyone can "use" a kernel due to technical ineptitude or other factors. It's very much NOT a goal of distributions like Fedora - and I like it that way.
The insurance company will increase rates, drop them (requiring a new more expensive company), or whatever. You know where that money comes from? The people that pay taxes!
You know who pays the taxes? The people who voted for the school board! Sounds like a good incentive to get people to pay attention to who they vote for.
How's that working out in your district? I don't mean to be snarky actually just curious if you believe the process is working in your specific case...
not only can a machine lie but it can lie by proxy...

Still think your phone bill is accurate?! hahahahaha

It's a child protection issue not a financial issue. There's no way that the parents can pay adequate attention to each child. They educate each other (public school is evil etc), take care of each other, and fend for themselves most of the time. There is such a thing as a criminally irresponsible parent (leave your kid in a locked car for example).
And in just such circumstances my Aunt's 10 kids are well adjusted, all. They're successful, generous, well-liked and I never had so much fun as a kid as the days me and my 2 sibling spent "fending for ourselves" at their place. I call your comment BS.
Bing is not doing evil here. They are in full compliance with the license as far as I know. And they have expressed interest in offering the project help in the future.
I'm sorry you couldn't get that into the OP. I have had my fill of
>>stamped to the box
stamped how? the OR was to someone who wrote those times on the box. I had a stamper I used to help automate shipments. Lot's of places "today" needed to be put into the forms. I could set the stamper to whatever date I wanted. I just have to reject that any kind of written date is reliable.
And what about the contents? it's easy to slip a page into a box. No datestamp on that!
I trust my "datestamps
I don't.
There has to be a web of trust. I live in a corn state. you might live in another country or state. I'm not familiar with your "notary" either in the principle sense nor the aggregate. So I have no real trust to go on.
Any physical collection is far easier to modify than a coherent electronic collection. I did mention in parent post that an assumption was a proper system.
If my money or my life depended on it I'd certainly ask for an audit. My trust in either is absolutely not absolute!
>>If a strict "meeting the written requirements" is all, you could create a new file tomorrow and give it the oldest timestamp supported by your filing or file system.
"and Still Have Is... "
I think this filters anything created just for this situation.
You fail to see the point. The poll was using Timestamp in a way to imply a validated createdatetime. Any other interpretation just invites conflict. Let's just say for simplicity's sake that the date is real.
To me a box with date written on it is not so trustworthy (it's so much easier to modify the contents of some box sitting around) as a strip. But if your habit is only write dates on when wanting to save it (and they were not cheap) then you probably have 8/2 of them are not written on. If I could find those strips they'd have my dad's dates on them which had nothing at all or even less! to do with my usage.
In a proper system the electronic timestamps reduce that uncertainty.
They're better than handwritten notes but they can be compromised also.
But electronic time tracking is fairly reliable since its inception. The same can not be said about hand-written dates.
in a word, No, it doesn't count that you have a box of cards whether or not the box has some kind of calendar indicator or not.
sheesh. why is it old programmers just don't 'get' requirements? Files. Timestamps. A concrete association between the two...
My oldest created file would be from a Vic20, so mid-80's, but it would be on tape and not have a timestamp. My oldest created program would be on a calculator (I think it's still around here somewhere) but not sure if createdate was captured by that magnetic strip. Late 70's.
One has to conclude that, in the domain, Files means on disk (or some kind of re-writeable media) and timestamp means for the file. Etchings on stone caves, ticker tape, steps for an abacus, your entropy machine... even if they can be dated, don't really count towards the poll since they're outside the domain.
so, uhh, errr,,, welcome to my lawn now get off.
thanks. It's Sunday freaking morning. This is no time to make me want a beer!
I think many of us "old" techies have no problems getting how cell phones or Twitter works.
What we have a problem getting is why. TXTing is as important to the evolution of communication as the pogo stick is for the evolution of transportation.
Have you not noticed that many IM shortcuts are making their way to texting syntax as well as in the common media? Seriously?!
Truth is many of us 50+ don't really speak well or effectively in that medium. And if we learn, we feel 'false'... Not much confusion over the why of it; txt'ing is shortened and semi-coded language based on the base human language of the participants. It excels at efficiency.
And don't discount the influence the 'pogo-stick' design has had. I believe there are several (http://en.wikivisual.com/images/4/47/Four_stroke_engine_diagram.jpg) reciprocating designs to utilize the stored energy exchange idea behind the pogo stick.
