It's a hardware button.
In addition to being extremely hideous they're just as bad as Slashdot for posting non-tech stuff. The other day it was something about food delivery in India.

Or unless the details of the minor illegal activity (or major illegal activity but unrelated to the investigation, come to that) are acted upon within a seperate investigation.
I was six. At a friend's house. I had sprained my ankle, so his dad carried me downstairs so I could watch it on TV with everyone.
I think businesses will find time to focus on security when fines for leaking customers details bankrupt them.
"First, let me say that I was talking about workplace harassment."
For a Roman Catholic Priest, the Church is his workplace, the congregation his customers, the Bishop is his management. For an extremely bad Roman Catholic Priest, it is a very bad idea for the customers to complain to the management about sex abuse. It is in fact the direct cause of the scandal, that the misconduct was reported to the Bishop and not to the police.
There is a lesson in that for any organization.
" People can always call the police (or file a lawsuit), and obviously if your organization covers for harassers then that's the next step. "
It is a safe assumption that all organizations WILL cover for the harassers, because as you point out,
"escalating to the courts is expensive, time-consuming, embarrassing" for the organization, and in the end, the organization only cares about what is profitable for the organization.
But if we fail to do it, we merely perpetuate the rape culture.
Because you don't want to annoy large customers with requests for small amounts of money you know they can afford and will pay for at some point.
#1, as the Roman Catholic Church proved royally, is a complete and utter error forever. You do NOT want your organization's management deciding if a victim can call the police.
#2, every illegal act that is a felony, should result in the loss of a job. Once again, it's law enforcement and the courts that should make that decision, not the good ole boy network in your management.
#3. The standard should be to call the police, each and every time. It is the only way to end rape.
Apparently, if it isn't in the policy manual, women don't know how to call the police. But that's not surprising, because ever since birth control, the free love/rape culture has said that anything sexual is the woman's problem alone.
Where is the Doctor when we need him?
The weird thing is, most cutting of energy use is done through better technology. The laptops I replaced our desktop machines have half to a third the wattage on the power supplies, and work just as well. My investment in LED light bulbs is just the start- I want to install a low voltage USB-compatible power grid in my house, to run all sorts of things at fractions of an amp, or at least under 2.5 amps (my new cell phone and tablets use higher amperage chargers). I've replaced my refrigerator with a newer model that uses half the electricity and added five more cubic feet. And yes, I drive a prius.
Funny thing is, I'm not particularily an environmentalist. Less dirty energy costs less money.
"Are you pointing to problems in general, or some theologies in particular?"
More in general, in that all theology that ends up personal, ends up a finite brain contemplating an infinite being.
"As a sola scriptura type, I'd like to point to some specific English language scripture as a possible solution, but the same problem heads its ugly rear there, too. Guess we'll have to be humble and rely on faith, no?
My response to that is John 21:24-25
> Unless I'm missing something, the hardware seems relatively unremarkable.
It's a PC, playing Windows games. It's hard to imagine anything Google would find less interesting in taking over.
The Catholic Church considers the Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics to fit with our theology. But it also occurs to me that it fits with the problems I've run into converting analog to digital measurement. And THAT points to the theological idea that many people worship not the Creator of the Universe, but an image of God that is a model of the actual God.
Memory fault - where am I?
