Comment Mozilla posted an update to this, just FYI (Score 4, Informative) 142

Copied from https://blog.mozilla.org/en/pr... UPDATE: We’ve seen a little confusion about the language regarding licenses, so we want to clear that up. We need a license to allow us to make some of the basic functionality of Firefox possible. Without it, we couldn’t use information typed into Firefox, for example. It does NOT give us ownership of your data or a right to use it for anything other than what is described in the Privacy Notice.

Comment Yeah (Score 1) 168

Yeah, I've personally witnessed this. When specific co-workers vanish and are completely off the grid from 10AM to 3PM, it starts to become obvious. Do what you feel is right, but make sure to communicate properly with your team and others. Taking a week at a time to do a basic 2 hour task because you can't multitask will always feel like stealing from the company, but to each their own.

Comment 4.7" is perfect (Score 2) 258

4.7" is the largest that I really care to have the phone to be honest. I want the iPhone 6 because of this. I currently have an iPhone 5 and a Droid Razr Maxx ( for work)... I am fine with the size of my iPhone but I prefer the size of this droid. Anything larger is too big in my opinion.

"Dr. John Doe, I apologize for the delay in getting your PC back out to you. I realize this is an urgent priority and I am working as fast as I can to fix it in a timely manner. At this time, I would continue to use your laptop computer to dictate so that you do not fall behind. The reason it is taking so long with this PC is your hard drive is actually defective. I had to remove the hard drive and copy off your data in parts, making sure I get it all. Your data and this PC are my number one priority and you will have it later this week. I thank you so much for your patience. Thanks, -Me" Lies? Yeah. It's not my top priority since he has another PC... and I am working on six other "high priority" PCs, each of which affect patient care. The bad hard drive? Yeah, not true... just a way to delay the process (Although it is a 40GB Maxtor drive may as well be bad). Nonetheless, he obtained a brand new Desktop a few days later and was very happy. So yeah, I lied but in the end all is well. (I made another post by accident as an Anonymous Coward. Sorry for duplicate).

Oh, investors expected this deal to take place? Oh so I guess that takes priority over the millions of Netflix users who expected it to take place? This is a big deal to me. My wife is a stay at home mom, and yeah she spends a lot of time with my boy playing outside and inside away from the TV, but when they finally sit down for a minute -- the same as when I get off of work, I want to sit down and enjoy a good selection of content. Now without those Disney movies, well, I will honestly probably go right back to piracy since I can't afford to buy every Disney movie that comes out. (I know not every movie was on Netflix) Sure, I can rent discs from Netflix, Redbox, Blockbuster, or I can rent and copy them. Yes, this attitude I have towards making illegal backups of their movies I thought was long gone. Thanks Netflix. Hopefully they strike a deal with another large company to bring us some better movies or I'm cancelling. We mostly use it for Disney movies anyway.

Eh, try what you want Obama, 95% of America is too incompetent to use this or "Don't have anything to hide"... it's pointless. The need to get rid of various passwords only decreases security, instead of enhancing it... and still doesn't prevent identify theft and social engineering (nothing does).
