What is this Cold War obsession with misrepresenting Marxism in as many ways as possible just to make it seem ridiculous (or evil)?
Okay. Not trolling, just stating a (possibly, to some) undesirable opinion...
The Koch brothers are old and are pandering to the demographic of old people who watch Fox News - who still vote - like (sigh) my mother (don't get me started). I wager that most youngsters forgot about Marxism five minutes after their high-school social studies final exam. The whole Communism / Socialism / Marxism is "evil" is nothing but cold-war propaganda used by people like the Koch brothers, Dick Cheney, etc... to try and scare / control the (older) unwashed masses - who might have actually been adults throughout the cold-war.
Oh no, they might killswitch a phone thought to be a bomb trigger.
Pretty sure bombers typically don't advertise the phone number of the trigger device. I'm more worried about the case where Siri gains sentience and decides to kill all humans. Then I might be in "“immediate danger of death or great bodily injury" from a cell phone.
It will still be god awful for anyone with a keyboard/mouse, on a desktop PC, sitting further than 30cm from their screen.
Don't be silly. Every new OS install will come with a WiFi tablet for all your desktop I/O needs via a RDP connection. No more gorilla arm as the tablet will be in your lap and you can sit where ever you like.
Damnit - I forgot the part where we nuke the whales.
Better to it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
I'm willing to bet strait alcohol is the most common one.
Which reminds me...
"They're trying to put warning labels on liquor saying, 'Caution, alcohol can be dangerous to pregnant women.' That's ironic. If it weren't for alcohol, most women wouldn't even be that way" - Rita Rudner
Given that the newest credit/debit card I have doesn't expire until 2017, and none of mine have chips, it would seem to me that registers will still need to be accepting cards like mine for at least another 3-4 years...
Of course, your Bank (whoever) could send you new Chip and Pin cards before your old ones expire.
you do not need flashblock. just tell noscript to block flash on trusted pages as well and you have flashblock like placeholders.
Although, using both allows me to white list or temp allow a site and still have the Flash blocked, until I specifically select it. Sure it's then two clicks to see it, but many times I want to see the other content on the page and not the Flash.
It's just such a shame that some people on the road believe they are in a perpetual state of potentially being run over by a semi.
Similar logic of some carrying guns everywhere. [Not trying to start an argument, just sayin'
No it doesn't, and I'm sure when you think you're doing that, people find you utterly obnoxious and just want to strangle you.
Sorry. I wasn't aware that you knew everything about everyone.
I can see that as being useful. On the other hand, a voice conversation allows me to talk and work on the actual task at the same time, instead of switching between the task and typing in IM.
wow, quality. I can't wait to have conversations with you.
I don't know if you were being snarky, but the parent post mentioned using IM to collaborate on a task with someone remote and my response was intended as a comment that I'd rather talk to that person while working together on the task than use IM. That way, I can use my ears, voice and keyboard together on the actual task rather than having to spend time typing into the IM client. I did not mean to imply that I wouldn't be paying attention to the caller.
I once spent 6 hours on a conference call with two remote team members working to solve a time-critical software issue for a delivery. Using IM would have been cumber/tiresome and would have probably been much less efficient than voice.
i mostly agree sometimes IM is still useful in the work place but i don't just sit there monitoring it i use it when i need to work on something with someone not right next to me for more than just 5-10 minutes

Email Is Not Going Anywhere
Duh. Instant messaging and email often serve different purposes and priorities. For example, at work, I don't use IM because *my* time is more important than your time. Email allows me to respond according to my schedule. Call me if something's really important.
For God's sake, stop researching for a while and begin to think!
