Pushing technology forward doesn't have to mean thinner phones.

You can push technology forward by creating longer lasting phones, and that would be more beneficial to most of us than shaving off another 1mm from the thickness.

We've reached the point where phones are thin enough for now. Concentrate on improving other things, and including the features we want instead of getting rid of them for the sake of thinness. We're literally regressing in features in order to free up space and make phones thinner.

I'm not saying we shouldn't strive for thinner phones, or fitting technology into smaller packages. I'm just saying that it doesn't need to be the #1 priority that trumps all other things.

If you count the number of times you get to be 12 in seconds, you get to be 12 over 30 million times. That's a lot of times to be 12!

Crap, you're right. They'll probably cut the original introduction and put in some lame one that explains the whole story or something stupid like that, and then add really bad CGI of Jabba the Hutt in some random scene arguing with Rick Deckard about money he's owed.

I'm with you. Buying into the hype is just setting yourself up for disappointment. Even if everybody *loves* it, I'll wait until it's been out on DVD for a while before I watch it.

Hollywood is out of ideas. All they're capable of is doing a bad job rehashing things we used to love.

I'm not sure how it works to be honest, and I live in a right to work state. I don't think it's quite that simple, but I could be wrong.

I've only had a couple bosses in my life that would make me worry about losing my job if they found out I was looking, and that's exactly why I was looking in the first place (because they were shitty bosses).

I don't think most bosses here would actually fire you for looking even if they could.

Because I want to see what's out there, and who is interested without risking my job.

Sometimes I interview with companies just to check it out, see what's available, see what my value on the market is, etc.

I really like my job and don't really want to leave, but if I found something I couldn't refuse I would take it. It also might give me leverage when I ask for a raise.

If my boss found out I was doing that, he'd probably freak out a bit or get nervous. I don't really want that.

Uh, no. It's broken down bits of plastic. If you scoop your hand in the water you'll find bits of plastic stuck to your hand. Fish eat that crap, and then we eat the fish.

It's basically a soupy mixture of sea water and bits of plastic that stretches for miles.

It's not a giant heap of trash that you would imagine a dump to look like. The trash isn't easily visible because it breaks down into smaller pieces over time. That doesn't mean it's not there.

There's videos on the subject where they show this if you bothered to try looking.

No it's not correct. (Well maybe the Star Trek part) People have been spouting that crap since the day I started reading Slashdot.

Yes, we'll reach some sort of limit at some point, but technology will still find a way to progress even when that happens.

In terms of speed, we're not close to that limit yet.

In terms of functionality, features, looks, feel, there will always be room for change.

ESPECIALLY with phones and smaller electronic devices.

>Do you believe rehabilitation is impossible or do you want revenge?

I don't believe that someone who commits mass murder can be rehabilitated, no. It isn't about revenge; it's about public safety.

Someone once pointed out that hoping a rapist gets raped in prison isn't a victory for his victim(s), because it somehow gives him what he had coming to him, but it's actually a victory for rape and violence. I wish I could remember who said that, because they are right. The score doesn't go Rapist: 1 World: 1. It goes Rape: 2.

What this man did is unspeakable, and he absolutely deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. If he needs to be kept away from other prisoners as a safety issue, there are ways to do that without keeping him in solitary confinement, which has been shown conclusively to be profoundly cruel and harmful.

Putting him in solitary confinement, as a punitive measure, is not a victory for the good people in the world. It's a victory for inhumane treatment of human beings. This ruling is, in my opinion, very good and very strong for human rights, *precisely* because it was brought by such a despicable and horrible person. It affirms that all of us have basic human rights, even the absolute worst of us on this planet.

This is precisely why I lost all interest in Oculus the instant I heard that it had been acquired by Facebook.

Because that's even more of a pain in the ass than DST for your average parent.

Even the shift from my daughter going from elementary to middle school through off my schedule big time.

Shifting my schedule throughout the year to get more day light is a pain in the ass.

I've been in middle seats on long international flights. You can still see out of the window in your peripheral vision, or by simply looking left or right.

They typically make the window seat passengers open the window blinds during take off and landing, which is probably the most nauseating part of the flight.

It was a joke :)

That's why they're saying wooosh... Because the joke went over your head. It happens :)
