Comment Re:Stealing? (Score 1) 197

the difference is minor and trivial.

lets say i stole your laptop then jumped on a motorcycle and sped off later i hit something and pancake on the street your (former) laptop stays with the bike and gets blown up with the bike. Im not going to get arrested for destroying your laptop im going to get arrested for STEALING your laptop (assuming i do not spend the next couple days bleeding out).

Comment a few suggestions (Score 2) 114

1 have a Quick Setup page with the most common settings all in one shot
2 Don't have "mystery magic" type settings (hint have a WIFI ON button not spread the ON function across 3 different settings that seem unrelated)
3 have a CLI "rail" so that CLI monkeys can bash the keys when they want to (but have something in the manual where it says
" to enable the SpeedConfig (TM) rail input %^73gH and the products serial number as your first command [this will be a permanent setting]")
4 put how to get to the admin console on a sticker on the item
5 do not assume that the person is using a laptop with 1024X768 res (hint there are things called netbooks running about and you also have smartphones)

what they need to do is hire SALES SUPPORT folks (aka non-com folks that are paid to know PARTS).

I know for a fact that a Million+ store can get a 30% boost in sales just by having a skilled Sales Support guy.

(oh and btw im halfway through a CET cert and have a decent background in AC/DC electronics Semi kicked me in the nodes but...)

In some of this stuff you want to be able to tell a youngling "Rush This You Should Not, Hard You should study or risk Magic Smoke"

One thing that would help is to strictly define Child Porn so that fathers/mothers/guardians of children can take pictures of Stuff without getting tagged for CP.

a suggestion a given image is to be considered Child Porn if

1 it has no clinical ,artistic or historical value
OR
2 the subject of the picture is completely Nude (to include pics with trivial clothing and exclude bathing pictures)

AND/OR One or more of
1 The subject is engaging in sexual activity or being used as a prop/toy for sexual activity
2 The subject is being otherwise abused

add the clause that Created or Fictional Children are also covered in the same way and things should be set correctly

(i do find it odd that the main Anti-CP rep seems to like "Candi" himself)

The big problem is the TIME needed to switch Command Units given say 30 "bots"
you have to
1 time out on the current commander (lets say several seconds)
2 somehow given 29 "bots" sort out who will be the best new Commander
3 setup the needed links

all of this while doing what the Flock is supposed to be doing

i could see a guy with a shotgun downing the Command Unit(s) faster than they can switch over.

(of course i can also see the bots deciding at about CU #14 to "frack this Mission is FUBAR RTB now!")

It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
