Weird that global temps have coincidentally also gone down the last 2 years(fairly under reported oddly enough). Will be fun to see where we are at in another decade.

I live in CO now, so anytime I see my old VA area code calling my cell phone that isn't in my address book, I at least don't get tricked... but it's annoying getting one or two of those a day and you're in the middle of something and ring ring some spoofed number again. Seems to be happening everywhere! >:(

That place is always up to shenanigans.

But I definitely trimmed my friend's list and go on there maybe once a month to make sure someone's not reaching out to me. That's what it's actually good for. Not daily faking of a good life while making others feel bad and depressed while FB gets all the money and compiles some insane predictive database. :D I figure they already got most of that so if I just stay inactive they can't get much more.

With more efficient and invisible solar cells, to where you could travel maybe 1000 miles during the day. Way closer than you'd think. :D Repairs would be insane though!

Lenovos are usually the hardware I have least trouble with when installing Ubuntu at least.

Couldn't you just hire a few techs that actually know Linux and not just how to use grep and they could be the support? Most of the changes needed to be made could easily be automated.

What, like taking payments, restarting / starting service and changing address etc? Not too many calls in your average call center are that advanced. It could really help with large events by giving something a little more interactive than a blanket announcement and at least creating a basic ticket for humans.

Just because you have a vagina doesn't mean you can be a jerk without retribution.

That get totally sold on the Cloud, instead of getting a decent infrastructure in place. I've worked at a few places with horrid CRM / Salesforce integration because they'll buy the software and then implement it with cheap coders from India / the Philippines. At the current company I'm at, we had a much better implementation of HPNA and now because of "cost savings" and other factors, like probably some executive being treated to a strip club, we are switching to NCM, which has a Java based front end, lol. Instead of going through putty and figuring things out within a minute, you have to spend a good 3-4 minutes at least going through that clunky piece of crap.

That the first plants were purple when they were utilizing a different wavelength of light.

True, but on youtube they are actually doing work or being creative. Nowadays they hardly get paid anyway because of advertisers that are apparently puritans from the 1800s.

What are you supposed to break up and how will it help anything? Instagram and FB as two entities will probably just be even more effective at invading privacy. Working for a company that was a former Bell company... it really doesn't matter. We have a big huge weird metal desk in our courtyard that's AT&T's and a number of executives were from oldschool AT&T. Breaking a company up really just ends up making the executives more money and makes it harder to account for shenanigans.

But it's already in place. Many of these services are free just because of the fact they can sell your data.

Just 59% vs 69% for Apple... so really, if you just own a smartphone it seems to indicate you might be wealthier than average.
