I am lucky enough to still be working. About half the people I work directly with were furloughed immediately. Very hard to get work done when I need their expertise and coordination. Kind of pointless to be there honestly. Yes I can catch up on some things, but most "real" work needs their assistance. Also, lost a roommate who was here for FAA class. He was sent back on that Tuesday. Gov paid for it all. Now he will not get his promotion for being certified. Also, he will have to fly back and Gov will pay for the class a second time. I lost that income as well as a roommate.

I have never used any type of phone protector and have never broken a phone. I honestly do not get how some people break screens all the time. I have dropped my phone maybe 3 times in the past 2 years. Granted any one of those drops could have broke the screen but didn't. Most people go through phones so fast, I don't see the point in protecting it more than just taking good care of it in your pocket and take it out of pocket if you are doing activities that could damage it.

I agree. Except for one thing. What if I want to marry 2 females? Why should the government restrict that? Why should we only be allowed 1 significant other when we might want 2 or 3 or 10?

Willing to bet every bank keeps a record of pin #'s. So if you forgot, they can just get it from the bank.

Next thing you know, we will be using recovery disks to re-install the pre-installed software because it was corrupted.

I bought my first App off the Android Market when they were promoting there 10 Cent deal during the holidays. I thougtht to myself, now that I have put in my cc number and i'm only clicks away from buying another one, I just might. Then the next 10 Cent app I went to buy it told me to enter all my info in again so I declined to buy it. The point is, I think the 15 cent app idea would have worked for their business model.

Does the same thing apply to food advertisements?

I usually email myself the note and keep it as unread until I'm ready to do the task at hand. Usually I end up just not doing it anyways.

It may not blind someone but have you ever had a laser pointed at your face? It makes you want to duck and close eyes and look away. If you were a pilot and a laser was pointed at you, I be your reaction would be the same. I'd think to myself "someone is pointing a gun in my face and I'm about to be shot." or at a minimum "a laser will blind me (even though it probably won't do shit) so I better duck and cover"

I just find it funny that they are basically getting rid of cigarettes in exchange for weed. You can't smoke at bars, schools, hospitals etc and the price is going up...now lets legalize weed. ha ha. I don't smoke either one but I find this whole thing just funny.

!QAZ@WSX3edc4 Yeah I agree, I think its stupid. Also, the government mypay.gov site is horrible as well. You have to mouse click the password on a virtual keyboard with letters all scrambled. So everyone over your shoulder can see what your clicking. You click slowly because the keyboard is scrambled.

I missed about a month of multivarialbe calculus and showed up the day of the test without knowing ANYTHING. My 3 friends were studying there butts off and I said screw it, i'm programming everything in my calculator (89). I spent 4 hours hand typing all the things i would need. Step by step it would output the equations I needed. My friends thought I was crazy. I learned a lot about the test just from typing all that crap in. Well, I got a 100 on that test. Me and my friends always look back on that day and laugh.

If someone is good enough to write the emulator on a calculater and pull that off. He really doesn't have to cheat in the first place. He is proablly leaps and bounds ahead of his classes anyways.

Do you honestly think they have not thought of these things? I'm not comp sci guy but it should be fairly easy to detect a "real" observation with mouse vs. an OCD mouse mover or a an idle mouse. I mean we can detect people's lies based on there face movements, why can't we detect people's observations with a mouse movement? If I do a google search and immediatley it opens up a page with 1 advert on the top...sometimes I hover over the advert but then see the same linke right below it which is not an advert. Depending on the company I click the advert or the link. For example, if its a business I don't much care for then I want google to get paid by them for the click. If its a business I want to survive, I reduce that cost by clicking the link. I do this withing milliseconds.
