Entirely unlike the shoddy work you have remained silent on
Have I remained silent? Maybe you should look at my comment history before making assumptions/looking like an trolling asshat?

The proof is far more solid than any proofs given of the damage caused by piracy.
Yet you've never once whined about that, have you.
Shoddy research is shoddy research. No matter if you agree with the premise or not.
Does Blackberry 10 still take like 10 mins to boot up if you remove the battery. Seriously the boot times on pretty much all the past Blackberries is painful. I have seen some Berries loaded with some apps take 20 mins to load....
No, on the Dev Alpha B it's about 50 seconds. Every dev alpha software update we've received has decreased that time. This aside, realistically you almost never reboot the thing - unlike the old BB which needed a reboot for every 3rd party software upgrade.
Did you intend to insult your spouse, or was s/he just incidental damage?
So many people don't understand what that word means in a practical sense - resulting in decisions like this.
Diversity is not a quota system.
Diversity is not saying that every ethnicity, gender, sexual preference and age group must be represented.
Diversity is simply about ensuring that each individual's experience, background and perspective are a valued part of the whole - that background and perspective being inclusive of ethnicity, gender, sexual preference and age group, but not defined by it.
It is possible to have diversity with an all-white male led conference. It is even possible to have a diverse conference attended only by white males. This is because every single one of those white males brings his own unique experience, background and history to the table.
'course I mentioned this perspective to an HR drone at my last job and she just looked at me as if I were clearly not getting it.
We don't know what level of marijuana impairs a driver.
That's because it doesn't.
A bunch of handwaving and stating that it's not really a problem is not how to win this argument.
I have distinct memories of driving on a highway, and MAN was everything going so unfuckingbelievably FAST! Are all these people insane, they're going like LIGHT SPEED and shit! I'm just gonna tool along here and be mell-oh. Melll...oh.
The problem was that I was driving 15mph. Sure, I wasn't going to run into a tree or guard rail and I probably had reaction times close to normal - but I was most defintely a hazard and I was certainly impaired.
Fact is, I should have been pulled over for being a hazard. Driving impaired should not be a crime - driving in a way that endangers others should. And there are plenty of rules and punishments already on the books for that kind of driving.
I'm not suggesting that people should be driving around stoned. But let's have an intelligent discussion about it before throwing around these outlandish claims.
It's madness, man.
Reefer madness.
You mean we're going to have to actually punish people for criminal actions (driving recklessly and endangering others) and not for an arbitrary measure of at what point we think they *could* be a danger to others?
Oh, the horror!
A valid pointabout dress codes but you dismiss the other side of it: when you have a dress code you don't have kids focusing on what Sally wore today or how little Jonny can't even afford a pair of pants that isn't five years out of style. Fashion is but thecsmallest part of self expression - and if you've ever seen kidswearing school uniforms, you know that even wearing the same clothes doesn't prevent creative ways of wearing them.
I would argue not that it stifles self-expression - of which clothing is but one small part - but that it allows for self-expression less on the basis of the income of one's family and more on the basis of the individual.
It's also what made space transportation so very "practical and safe", as exemplified by Challenger and Columbia.
On the other hand - if you look at fatalities per mile traveled - space travel is the safest mode of travel there is.
What? Airlines use that math all the time, so it *must* be valid!
With this kind of early cross over between tech and medicine it's unavoidable to think you could do without a single upgrade.
PLUS carriers will be offering upgrades at a discount with a 2 year neuromuscular connectivity contract!
I agree that ads aren't the problem, but also don't think it's formatting. It's rather simple for me: everyone runs off of an ad network. That means every ad I let through amounts to somebody, somewhere profiling my browsing habits.
Return to the days of ads that are hosted with the content provider, that don't run javascript and don't run flash - and I'll return to allowing them in my browser.
I understanding what you're saying, I just think it's crap.
I think a lot of people have tried to make this a safety issue, when realistically we're (probably) reasonably safe if you're not flying every day - and maybe even then.
But for some reason, enough people like you have distracted the issue - the point where if they do manage to conclusively prove its safety, there's no longer a leg to stand on.
It's not a safety issue. It's not about people being ashamed of their bodies and wanting to hide them. It's about how it's not ok to foster a culture of fear in the name of security.
Given the wording of the link, I thought it would take us to the actual post and comments in question. Instead I was tricked into visiting slashcloud. That's almost as bad as a rickrolling.
Intriguing, thanks for the info/link.
