Comment Re:I've never understood why this is a big goal. (Score 1) 84

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!")

yes speaking as one of the Sales Support folks that Corporate decided was "not needed" yes the service is middling to Ghastly.
(hint for the SMs if somebody comes in and tells you they need 3 640-2373 a 640-2184 any Salesmaker on the floor had better come up with a few things in the 27? series to suggestive sell BEFORE you even breath anything about cell phones)

the Name of the Store has been RadioShack for over a decade.

and the guy that greenlit this should be shot out of a cannon at the nearest Unemployment center.

I am certain that any notice that mentions that GEMA has requested the vid be blocked will not be allowed.

Googles response should be to block any vids (in Germany) that contain any GEMA licensed music (even official channels) with the notice

"This video has been removed due to containing Music Licensed by GEMA"

1 on another computer download unpack and run WSUSOffline and build an update package
2 also visit ninite.com and grab a install loader for your "fun" programs (like firefox libreoffice and such)
3 do the initial setup on your computer and get to the desktop
4 run the WSUSOffline updater
5 run the ninite.com install loader
6 Profit!!

What should happen is that somebody needs to define an acceptable AND SANE level of risk that children can handle and then work on limiting risk to that level.

1 Ensure that kids can grow up in an environment without a toxic environment ( no smoking next to kids use of nontoxic "stuff" wherever possible)

2 Operate daycare/schools as Sanctuaries (there should be a Bunkhouse where a kid can sleep when they do not have a safe and stable home).

3 let the kids play knowing that they could get a Boo Boo sometimes (but have decent first aid ready)

various 1,000 parts per trillion things where normal levels are dozen parts per Trillion is not the problem when we are not allowing these kids to THINK EVER.

Time stamp of these statements please??

anyway the first couple PicoSeconds of Time CAN NOT BE OBSERVED BY SCIENCE therefore are not within the realm of Science.

Now if you can show me a Tornado running through a car scrapyard and "evolving" a working airplane then maybe i might consider evolution as possible.

Or show me any Half This /Half that critters.

Just for fun go looking through the articles on ICR.org and follow the references.

When it has been found that a PAC has used any type of fraud or trickery to get a donation said PAC will be subject to a Full Forensic Level IRS Audit (since they did this what else have they done with the "books").

Oh and for the duration of the Audit they are bared from doing any funding transfers/transactions.

Gitmo ain't got nothing on the Pain and Suffering the Infernal Revenue Service can cause even without using the horror of BETA SLASHDOT.
