Ouch, that's less than solid use of $590m in Cisco stock, plus $15m retention incentives. Hope at least that the employees did OK out of it. Personally I'm with you vel0city — I run separate devices, primarily for reasons of quality and storage.

Agree with you that it's very dependent on the prosecutor but I think there are definitely situations in which you should consider a lawyer — if jail time is a possibility, for one, or if the conviction is likely to be reckless (class 1 misdemeanor in some places).

It seems highly unlikely to me that a ($300 or otherwise) lawyer could reliably get 25 mph over the speed limit reduced to zero points. Unless the court system is completely crooked, in which case it would surely cost more than $300. Any evidence to support this claim?

By saying that it "doesn't work" they were obviously talking about the bigger picture.

Yes, if someone signs up for a promotion and explicitly opts into being called for telemarketing purposes then of course that's fine. But that's not what we're talking about here, is it? The topic is how to respond when you have expressly stated that you do *not* want to be called.

Right, you *could* attach files to notes, but no-one would think that a reasonable solution to the problem being discussed here.

Undoubtedly the US media has a right-wing bias, but that's not material to my opinion of the BBC. People in Britain think the BBC is fair and unbiased because relative to the majority of other British media, which is somewhere between liberal and left-wing, the BBC *appears* to be unbiased. It's only when you pay…

Remind me why this needs to change? Why is it so terrible that someone defaming you should be required to prove that his statements are true, rather than that you (the injured party) be required to prove that his statements are false?

Evernote synchronizes notes; Dropbox synchronizes files. If you wanted to synchronize all of your recent birthday party photos to your girlfriend's computer and your work computer, you wouldn't be able to use Evernote to do that.

Well you can search the web for articles about its behavior during the Falklands War, or about its more recently leaked "impartiality summit" for examples. I think it's widely acknowledged that the BBC has a liberal bias.

The BBC does a masterful job of making people believe that it's impartial. But it's not impartial, of course, not even close.

Wonder what strategy we should be using to verify that Chrome/Firefox extensions aren't malware before we download/install them? Not saying this one is malware, I doubt it is, but what safety measures are in place when downloading random extensions from github?

By hand or by FedEx for the big stuff. The odd page by fax for any corrections (with personal info blacked out). Just say no to email. Ideally, however, we'd have a society structured where losing such information did not have such negative consequences.

I don't see it every time, but it does happen sometimes.

Most advanced driving instruction that I've come across suggests otherwise. Key is that you should *not* be accelerating in the same lane as the vehicle you are passing, primarily because you are committing yourself and any unexpected emergency situation that arises will be much harder to deal with safely. For…

You'd be very happy you did too, as long as it's a well-treated, used 911. Low maintenance, fabulous to drive, rock solid, lasts forever, low "look at me!" factor, manageable service costs, and reasonably low depreciation if 3 years older or more. An everyday driver, unlike the LP560 and R8 GT. Best car I ever…

Wish I had a gray Cortina. Whiplash aerial, racing trim. Cortina owner, no one meaner. Wish that I could be like him.

I watched the original UK series. Pretty good it was. Bound to be better than a remake with Spacey.
