Two words. Shit happens.
Even the most well-meaning parent can get overwhelmed in a crowd surge or the kid could decide to tear off suddenly. It's not a substitute for watchful parenting but it can be useful additional tool in the toolkit. It also allows the kid to have a modicum of self-control, since mom and dad don't have to be glued to their hand all day.
I ended up calling my namesake down in Arizona, who evidently just could not grasp that our shared firstname.lastname@gmail.com belonged to me, not him.
I got that phone number because he put my email in to receive his property assessment.
Never got the guy on the line, but the voicemail seemed to do the trick.
If you bother to learn how, you can judge the existing skies to determine what the weather will be in that timeframe.
kenrblan's experience doesn't rule out the existence of the claimed policy; it just shows that if there was one, this employee didn't follow it.
Then you go without.
Pretty damned simple concept.
Yes, it's a righteous thing, as is helping those in legitimate need.
Wanting to check twitter or TMZ is not a pressing need. A life in danger is.
If you sometimes find yourself needing an open wireless network in order to check your email from a car, a street corner, or a park, you may have noticed that they're getting harder to find.
No, actually, I haven't, because I just use the bloody cellphone I carry all the time in modem mode. I need the service, so I pay for the service. I don't leech and expect somebody else to foot the bill (note that I don't consider using a coffee shop's wifi either, unless I have purchased something from them).
Lucky for you; I'm in Canada and my Netflix on PS3 will not work. It constantly errors out and tells me that it needs to sign in to PSN before it will stream.
Until we get Personal Area Networks properly working (a la Shadowrun 4, where your phone is just a voice interface to the same uplink node that everything else you have is also using), I would go with tethering. It just makes more sense to me, instead of having to have two separate contracts for 3G connectivity... and isn't that one of the entire points behind Bluetooth anyways?
Blu-ray has completely supplanted DVD in my movie buying, wherever I have the option.
The picture quality difference is very apparent, even on my smaller TV. I can't imagine going back to DVD for must haves, and I haven't seen any larger delays or increases of can't-skip stuff on Blu-ray vs DVD. In fact, for the Disney stuff my kid watches, the DVDs are far worse for unskippable previews (something which is immediately apparent because of their combopacks - whenever we accidentally put in the DVD instead of Blu-ray, it takes three times as long to get to the same movie).
It's almost like the bulk of the US population is on the eastern seaboard!
Not really. It's not about groklaw shutting down, per se, but that some people have mixed feelings about it shutting down.
You may also want to watch the short video on LCDs put out recently by the Engineer Guy. Really explains and demonstrates it quite well.
Parties doesn't necessarily mean formal organizations.
In this case, the parties are "eastern Japan" and "western Japan".
The company.
If they try to pass that on to their customers, their customers will leave them; there is ample competition for that to be an effective punishment that can't simply be fobbed off.
