Yeah, that makes tones of sense. Oh look, I want to play but none of my friends are online. "I WISH I COULD PLAY WITH OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE WITHOUT HAVING TO LOOK LIKE A CREEP ON MIRC OR OTHER PUBLIC FORUMS LOOKING FOR A FRIEND TO PLAY WITH".

You should not be allowed to own a car because it's too much evolution for you.

  1% down time doesn't justify dropping a perfectly good working server model.

Your dreaming buddy!

If they aren't involved now they won't be anymore involved without the video game. People either have will power or they don't. Taking away a bad habit will just make them find a new one.

I agree with your statement that censorship is wrong BUT I must inject that allowing them to show the horrible things they do does nothing to further any causes other than their own. Did I see the video? Yes I did. Did I need to see it to understand how horrible things are there? No.

In the current state of internet I agree with censorship but as the internets anonymous nature dissolves and accountability becomes possible again, I will agree far more with your statement.

Yes a tool that have specific applications don't have.

So from the point of view of masses there are no advantage of having a horse over a car.

Advantages that aren't practical in modern society especially if living in the city.

I feel for those switch board operators.

I don't think you can anticipate how far 3D printing can go. Although 3D printing has existed for a long time it is just starting to be a field of interest. As more research is poured into it will become better and more affordable.

The progress will be in the ability to make concrete consistently reliable versus the hit and miss you get from hiring one company versus another.

As for faster you also can't tell. It may be tones faster 10 years from now.

Phones today are as important as your wallet. Losing it can result in identity theft. It's not a new issue, it's just that it's taken a new form.

As tverbeek stated, putting a password on the phone is the most logical thing to do and probably the only thing one can do.

Sharing passwords is the result of people being miss informed or not understanding what can happen. There's also a laziness component to it. At home it's one thing but at work I explain to users that sharing their password is like trusting the other users with their employment. If one employee wants to sabotage them, they can easily do it. I've seen a employee get fired over something similar.

Progress happens when you take something that has potential but isn't yet viable and make it viable.

If you could 3D print a foundation and increase the quality and durability of it then it makes sense since I know for a fact that concrete is a complicated process that has potential for major failure if not done properly.

Do you cut your hair with he lawn mower?

I wasn't talking about Ubuntu. I was saying that people can deal with the one time occurrence of a Windows Update bug. It's much less trouble than to get onboard with any Linux distro.

I have supported Microsoft workstations for over 10 years and have never experienced a hardware failure due to an automatic update. Heck, I had maybe 3-5 problems related to auto updates that were caused by security enhancements and they didn't actually break anything, rather they defaulted values that I just wouldn't have set for my environment.

I suspect you are an isolated case because if that's how poor MS products were, they would not be trusted by any IT department.

I bet you also believe those self proclaimed scientist that swear the pyramids were made by aliens.

Those conspiracies are as true as those stories of me having big dick The H/W manufacturers have had it figured out for a long time by simply not releasing drivers for the next OS that comes out. The last thing H/W manufacturers want is your call to support or a RMA request.

I honestly haven't found a Linux distro outside Ubuntu that is easy to install on just about any hardware. So for 99% of users with Windows systems, they will just have to deal with this rare failed update scenario. It's really not the end of the world as some may picture it to be.

This is a great strategy to maintain cross training. Forces all employees to make sure their tasks are covered since they know they cannot answer while away. It also forces other employees to understand what their colleagues do creating a better team spirit and preventing what I call "SILOS".

Realistically there are some roles in a company that make exception to this but that list should be very short in a company of that size.
