Children all over the country have been inspired to be law enforcement agents by shows like Criminal Minds, NCIS, Bones, and CSI.
TV shows and movies are the worst place to get inspired about tech - especially with regard to a life/career choice.
Jurassic park would have maybe not been as scary had their "raptors" looked like this.
Regardless, velociraptors still hate goto statements
The worst that can be said is that Tim Cook has a "double standard" when it comes to advocating for gay rights in the USofA vs other countries.
I'm not even sure it's a "double standard". The US is (supposedly) built on the premise of equality and fairness for *all* its citizens. The same cannot be said for (all) other countries or cultures. I'm not supporting the bias of those other countries/cultures, just saying that Indiana and Arkansas are not China and Saudi Arabia. I'm pretty sure Carly knows this, but is being, as you said, a "concern troll" - which makes her the hypocrite.
How would you like to be able to know the chemical composition of something, just by taking a snapshot or video of it with your smartphone?
Or, more simply, I can tell things are made of "stuff" just by looking at them. Not sure why a casual user with a cell phone would care about anything more specific.
8. Given a large enough beta-tester and co-developer base, almost every problem will be characterized quickly and the fix obvious to someone.
Seems to work for Firefox. Every time there's a N.0.0 release, there's a N.0.1 release in less than a week - every... freaking... time. I'd wish they'd focus on getting things done correctly rather than quickly and churning out new major version numbers.
I swear I'm the only person in my subdivision who isn't talking on the phone while walking my dog.
I've seen people walking their dog whilst on their cell. The dog always seems sad that their owner isn't paying any attention to them or enjoying *their* walk *together*.
Sarah Palin actually held a political office. I'm not sure if Fiorina was even on a student council.
Yes, but I'm pretty sure Carly can read and write.
What's the demographic of the people running these startups?
On the up side, things will never go to Hell in a handbasket - because they don't know what a "handbasket" is.
The error message says "You have more than one browser window open on the same internet connection," (I didn't) and "to avoid this problem, close your browser and reopen it." I did. No change.
Why do they care how many browser windows are open? On the same Internet connection? Why is this a "problem"? How would closing *your* browser fix the issue, if the other window(s) is/are open on another system sharing your "Internet connection"? (Perhaps you or someone upstream is using some sort of NAT.) And, finally, why do they care what browser you're using simply to logon?
I'm wondering, is this the next round of BPA
From TF-NYT-A: (emphasis mine)
The approach also allows them to vary the ingredients of the textured layer and the lubricant to fit the properties of different liquids — for food applications, the coatings are derived from edible materials.
TSA policies are security theater. Film at 11.
It's a toss-up as to what irritates me more, the assertion/fact that it's crap or that they spent/wasted $1 Billion on it (even if it weren't crap).
to not recognize that more government control of the Internet is a good thing.
To all conservatives, more government regulation is uniformly bad.
Unless those regulations involve telling a woman what she can and cannot do with her body, or are amendments preventing people of the same sex from marrying
I work in a basement 200 feet under the ground and I know it feels good to get outside once in a while.
Yeah yeah, ls671 likes to go outdoors, and therefore knew all along what causes myopia, right?
No. Obviously, ls671 works in a Minuteman silo and feels less twitchy and sees things more clearly after spending time outside every so often. This is a *good* thing... Naysayers are welcome to send him their GPS coordinates.
Take someone who is suicidal and crying out for help and to talk with their friends, and you block them from talking to anyone!
Why not just had them a gun?
And... make them "read Facebook's suicide prevention materials." (I wonder what the legal disclaimer is on that?)
What happens if the user doesn't give it a "Like"?
This seems rather hopeless. Does it go to the police with jurisdiction closest to the IP address the offending tweet came from? Or to the police closest to where the alleged victim resides?
From TFS: " It is left up to the user to forward the report to law enforcement
The user can only opt to *also* receive an email containing information about the reported tweet.
