While it's not a terrible idea and I don't particularly mind it, considering how I share a lot of personal information on those same networks... If they are clever they might even find a common topic of interest and skip the whole bit about the weather at 20,000 feet. Why even ask me when all you really want to know is how I feel about Dostoyevsky's narrative style, or about whitespace while coding? That's all I really care about when I talk to people.

I wonder if they also considered that we are more likely to die of stroke because we sit on our butts all day long. No cancer but we get heart disease! The irony!

Now if someone could only prove it would make us live forever...

I bet someone is going to make a lot of money off of this...

It's only a matter of time before everyone gets banned from the interwebs for 'piracy' and ISPs go out of business. Another brilliant idea. It makes me almost angry enough to move to Papau New Guinea and forget I ever knew about teh interwebs.

Well if the internet is already broken does America, the land of the 'free and brave' and all that crap, etc. etc., need to jump on the bandwagon? We are supposed to be world leaders, doing what is best for our citizens, but yet we entertain such idiocy. I don't care how the rest of the world does it, honestly. Listening to our internet engineers might be a wise idea. Oh, and if we only understood the bill as well as they do then they are still a joke as far as I'm concerned. It is their job to know the policies they enact and for us to decide if we think they should lose their jobs/lives over their decisions. That's why it's best to ask first, then create laws.

My co-worker recently looked up every politician that was running that was NOT in office and that was how he voted. If they were in office they were crap, otherwise they needed a chance. Yes, between terrible choices of qualified idiots and feeling like it won't matter anyway it makes it all seem like a waste. Technology is just the tip of the iceberg.

It seems like it's been years since this was promised. Not that I'm complaining... better late than never, but I have almost stopped using it as a result!

I wonder if this study takes into account the robbers increasing in efficiency and effectiveness with each successive robbery. I know they have a 1 in 5 chance of being caught, but is their 10th robbery as sloppy as the previous 9? I tend to get better at my job, but does this apply to bank robbers? This is likely assuming they don't raise the stakes with each successive robbery, which they tend to do.

That's the entire point of this... if it's only once a year it will be extremely painful. The more regular they are the more healthy you will be, both as an individual and as a software company. Companies making regular releases can respond much more quickly to user needs--that is what my company does it the customers are very happy.

The most important part of your day is fiber, which helps keep the cycle regular.

Well, the answer to my own question is that she really didn't speak much at all since she's only three years old, and it seems unreasonable to place the child's entire hopes and dreams of communication in one app on a device that changes every year (not to mention apps coming and going daily). If I built my entire world around AIM then I would be crushed when everyone moved elsewhere if I didn't move with them. A more tried and true solution seems a bit more reasonable when you are talking about her future in communication. I hope they can research and arrive at a solution that will not be outdated tomorrow... That's the heart of my comment. It reminds me so much of everyone jumping on the bandwagon to convert all their music collection to the next greatest thing. There's a fine line between latest and greatest, and that which is here today and gone tomorrow. I think they gambled wrong. My original question was not very well communicated. Thanks.

So she cannot speak without it, yet it begs to ask: "How did you speak before your iphone?" iphones haven't been around forever... what would you have done if it never existed... what did you do?

If they are doing their job and following all the rules then it won't bother them that the people are recording the video. It could lead to a raise if their performance is excellent. Or if you are breaking the law as an officer then you should lose your job. I don't trust anyone anymore. I was thinking about something like this... people need to record every TSA worker as they try to violate our rights and our virginity when they x-ray rape us.

And while we're at it, why stop with just data... sure it's tough to see it, but it can be measured so it can be taxed. Let's tax the air that we breathe too... I mean, that guy who lives next to me weighs about 350 pounds, I know he's using more air than the average person does... so he should pay.
