However this doesn't actually look for people acting out, it looks at facial expressions to determine if a person is mad. This may be interesting itself but, I would submit the population of people who get mad while driving is so much larger than those who actually act out their aggression that this is unlikely to be the least bit useful.

They could save a LOT of money on this, no need for fancy eye tracking, etc.

Just have some simple sound recongnition, and list for how many times I yell MotherFucker per minute, and that would be an easy gauge on my mood and opinion of the pinheads driving around me.

but has Deep Hooks in to Sharepoint

Well, if THAT doesn't make you go running for the hills from this product, nothing will.

Ugh..what a clusterfuck sharepoint is. If OneNote is a part of that environment, no wonder MS is having to try to give it away for free.

Something mid 70s with a 455 4-speed. 10mpg (on a good day) is what I'm looking for as my new "fun" car.

In many cases, practice makes perfect.

Well, in this case, it's livers. And livers have a very stunning capacity of self-replication. It's quite fortunate that such a vital organ to life is so robust - it has extensive self-repair capabilities, it can regenerate missing parts, etc. That capability is often used to turn one liver into multiple (if the patients don't need full functionality immediately), or to remove cirrhosis in its early stages. (Heck, it takes a LOT to get liver cirrhosis)

In that case, I almost think I'd like Keith Richard's liver...I mean, if it is STILL working to this day, it has to be superhuman.

God I hope he donates his body to science when he does someday, finally go. Whatever genes he has for survival need to be studied and learned from.

Lord, if we started a stem cell line from him now, we could likely have almost immortality for most of the earth!!

Maybe they're making it free, to get some recognition?

The kids that can advance faster should be allowed to advance faster.

But, but....won't doing that hurt little Johnny/Suzie's self esteem if they see little Nyguen getting promoted ahead of them based on nothing more than sheer ability?!??

[rolls eyes]

It makes sense, but in the US for years now, we seem to be more interested in catering to the lowest common denominator, than trying to promote true talent.

I think for those on the lower end, we should make vocational education something easier for those kids with that type of proficiency to find their way into...

It requires a quite a bit of time in the spring, while preparing the ground and planting, but not much during the rest of the year. But all this work does not have to be your labor. There is an exemption to the 13th Amendment, which outlawed slavery and indentured servitude: You can still coerce unpaid labor from other people, provided they are your direct descendents, and under the age of 18. You can even use extremely cruel and unusual methods to extract this labor, including turning off the TV, and even unplugging the router, until the tomatoes are picked, sliced, and in the mason jars.

LOL, thank you!!

That, I think, is the best post on Slashdot for the year, the rest of us all might as well pack it up till next year, this one wins hands down!!

:)

To each their own, and it's your money, but it seems steep to me. Then again, ordering something on amazon every 2-3 days already seems borderline compulsive behaviour to me too.

I find that more and more, I buy virtually everything on Amazon. I'm starting to even by food/dry goods.

I find the price is usually cheaper than local, no sales tax...and the 2x day shipping is nice.

I also think it is worth it for the free streaming AND the free ebook a month for my kindle. Not many have mentioned that aspect too yet.

I don't order 2-3 times a week (generally), but I probably come close to averaging over 1 purchase a week with them annually I"m thinking.

You should be free to fuck up, but also free to suffer the extreme consequences for it too.

You don't know that they're poor. There are a lot of middle-class projects, where people have good jobs and pay market-rate rents.

Trust me on this one, I am VERY familiar with the projects here in New Orleans.

These I'm speak of, have NO middle class occupants, they'd be scared stiff to live in these places.

That being said, thankfully, post Katrina, we're slowly tearing these down...making some into mixed income areas, but it takes time to flush these bastions of poverty cycle and crime generators out of our city after being here for so long.

I am also in the Bible belt, and the condoms are out there for anyone to pick up. I believe the biggest issue with contraception is people are embarrassed to buy it because they don't want people to know about their sex life. This leads to either theft, no sex, or pregnancy depending on the individual.

But that's not the same as the OP and other posters saying that contraception isnt' available unless ACA or the like is in place.

It's out there always has been, just a matter of people getting it. I think they mean to say, it only matters if someone else is PAYING for it.

Conflating availability with who is footing the bill.

Are you sure you paid into the unemployment fund? Most self employed do not, even though they think they do. If you did, then you should be eligible for unemployment.

I am 100% positive.

I have an "S" corp, I paid myself salary with the taxes and I paid the employer side of all those taxes too. I filled out the parts for unemployment, state and fed taxes.

I was told all the way through my appeals that sure I'd paid it, but the law said I couldn't get it in the state of LA.

People who are poor don't have the same choices you do.

They're not buying 60" televisions.

I guess you aren't driving by the same projects I am, seeing said 60" TVs through the open doors of the apartments, while they're sitting on the porch.

And as for the rest of it...hey, life is tough.
