Dropping $30 on one of these for my girlfriend has more than paid itself off in saved time searching. For myself, yes I use the "put it in the same place" method. The remote on the other hand is left in the hands of teens and got lost to the point of replacement - Even after we moved...
Search Settings->Never show instant results, not so difficult.
I tried that, but for some reason it didn't have any effect on the computer in the HR department that I mailed my resume to...
Roomers, seriously?
Yes - unfounded roomers. Those are tenants in your house that can't be located. And if you're not even good enough to locate everyone living there, you may be unqualified for many jobs.
The idea of the company taking care of you died in about, er... the 1950s. Deal with it.
Right. That's because the companies taking care of themselves drove the others out of the market or forced them to adapt. Now we're seeing more of the same.
And that maximizes profit and that's what the shareholders want, so I don't see that changing until... ever.
The purpose it to make a web browser. No more no less. Preferably one people will actually use.
Maybe that's what you want the purpose to be, but the reality is that for many of its developers (and users), Mozilla is about half browser and half "damn the man" movement demanding that everything be open. We'll see who wins. My guess is that the top echelons will just ignore the "movement" people and keep going after the best market share using the rational that they're giving the user what he wants.
...things like Viagra, which are completely optional.
Describe it as optional to some aging men. Optional as in:
1) Get hard
2) Go to bed frustrated only to meet your wife's boyfriend
Sure, people lived without it for a long time, but expectations have 'risen'.
Actually it is... When you ask a question like this, it just publicizes suspicion. I think it's likely that there's a relationship there, but if you asked the NSA, something preposterous like "Is gnick collaborating with you to collect information about slashdot users?" Their response would be identical to this one.
North Korea still the best Korea!
No way - North Korea has no Seoul.
I could mention Alabama, but I won't.
I think you forgot how not to mention Alabama...
At the same time, there *are* in fact real pedophiles, scammers, and other criminals that use Facebook, in which case it's probably not really productive (or even legal) to notify a suspect they are investigating.
That's why the gods gave us warrants. But if it's just some guys with a badge, forget it.
The perfect slashdoter analogy.
Much better than car analogies. Long live restaurant buffet analogies!
Agreed - This sounds exactly like a chain-restaurant all-you-can-eat crab night. "You'd like more? I'll be back in 30 minutes w/ 2 more legs and 30 minutes after that to ask you if you'd like another 2."
Let's try cars: How about "A full tank of gas for as long as you can drive - With a free sheet to use as a sail for any miles after that!"
You ALWAYS have the right say you disagree with the arbitration. You will be required to go through the motions of arbitration, but that doesn't mean you have to live with the outcome.
Right - Hire a lawyer, take a dozen man-hours off of work, travel to wherever the "motions" are taking place, listen to non-sense, and then hope that you get your $850 back to recover part of your costs. It's noble, but only makes sense for the big game, not for the small rip-offs where the fat cats make their money.
No, but it would be nice if FB told ME that a request was being made for my information.
Hell, let's go crazy here and say FB ASKED me if they could release my information to the requester w/o a warrant.
What, seriously? It's going pretty well. Although I was shocked to see it happen, consumers won the DRM fight against music companies.
We're talking about streaming content here. Are you saying that you found a music service that allows you to stream whatever song you'd like on-demand with no DRM and then permit you to save a digital copy on your hard drive without paying a premium to "buy" the song? I've seen it done, but not without a work-around (e.g. grabbing the audio stream.)
Music companies want protections for their streaming content too and I don't know of any that offer all of the things you're demanding of video.
There are just as many scammers that live in the USA or anywhere else for that matter.

That would be nice to believe and ideally there would be an even distribution. Do you believe that crime rates are the same in every city and every neighborhood too? I think you'll find the statics to show a heavily skewed demographic of scammers in Nigeria vs the US. Cultural and economic differences come into play quite heavily when you're figuring out the odds of a person being willing to commit crimes.
