Have they tried using this on a dog yet?

PROS: Vermont is beautiful, co-ops are decent, there are a few nice days, and most people are nice. CONS: disease carrying ticks.

Yeah, I remember my Blackberry from 2007 that had a red LED that would blink when a new message arrived. I loved that! With my current phone I can wave my hand over it and it shows me all the info I want, but it doesn't work from across the room. I still have my old Motorola razr (in great condition) that I am saving for the Smithsonian Institute.

I work with tech and I see a lot of phones. There are many issues, like phone calls drop when enabling wi-fi sharing, or the screen turning black when enabling wi-fi sharing, etcetera, but the biggest problem I see with all phones? Cracked screens. Screw the water-resistant, high-def blue tooth, AI enabled smart voicemail crap. Make a more durable screen. The more edge-to-edge screens I see, the more they shatter. What's the point of getting a slim phone if you put a giant Otterbox around it?

You are correct and informative, but I have never wanted nor required a water-resistant phone.

WTF? The write protect tab on a 3.5" floppy is a hardware feature. Software cannot override it. Damn Anonymous Cowards.

"Hosted Services" = "In the cloud" = "Someone else's computer". Where did I mention "On the Internet?"

So you use no "cloud?" No "hosted" services? No IMAP? No Web hosting? No QuickBooks online? No Gmail account? No Adobe online? No DNS registrar? No DDNS service? No server other than your own? Well good job, but I'm sure that's not for everybody.

Cotton candy flavored cocaine. Gummy bear flavored Quaaludes. Fireball flavored whiskey, oh wait...

There is no time, only entropy.

It is sad you work with people afraid to admit what they do or do not know.

What Enterprise IT Manager is using the Hosts file to block web sites? Enterprises use firewalls. I've been blocking doubleclick at the firewall/proxy level for as long as I can remember.

Why do you say that? My support calls have dropped to almost zero due to the ease of use of Windows 7. Laptop power management and wireless management is as good as anything I've ever seen. The Fax and Scan manager is so easy even executives can use it. On the desktops it is easier for the user to do tasks like add printers and find programs. Paint is easier with the ribbon and opens and saves in a variety of formats. The snipping tool is easier than third party software. Deployment is a snap, reliability is assured, drivers are very reliable (Vista sometimes installs the wrong driver), remote management is simple, and Windows 7 runs on fairly well on old and crappy hardware. What, exactly, is your problem with Windows 7 for the enterprise?

If they teach Pokémon Science at your University, you can claim to be a Pokémon Scientist after the dissection lab. And, yes, it does make everything Science. Please look up the meaning(s) of Science. Most of my Political Science courses had very little to do with the practice of Politics and much to do with pure forms of government and theory, which are the principles of politics. Practicing anything can be an art. Analyzing anything is science.

Politics is an art. To analyze politics is a science. Political Science is not the practice of politics; it is the study of politics. Appending Science to the name differentiates the two. Your Physics professor sounds like a douche.
