If this is in the US, they have to tell you before they arrest you, don't they?

Define "have to"? Is there a law on the books that says they have to? Yes. Do judges regularly uphold that? No.

The US has rather a claim to fame for arrests and incarceration without charges, even of minors. NYC has had several deaths around this recently and it is causing quite a stir, kids held for a year without a charge in brutal solitary and adult confinement. The entire detention center in Cuba's purpose is to have no charges with incarceration. It's not just something done in the US. It's something we have a system for doing and are passionate about protecting.

Now. But I haven't always. I worked for government localities with under 300 employees before.

And I run into it working for tiny companies, not the big ones.

Yep. I wouldn't deal with for the most part here even if we had it. I manage the servers and the network/routers and MPLS as the Systems Engineer. We have people that handle most of the applications. some of the SQL management falls on me but, very little.

That Facebook is using HHVM in production makes me a little more comfortable with it.

True, but I would guess that Facebook's application runs mostly on code that Facebook is responsible for maintaining. On the other hand, most WordPress websites have at least a couple of third party plugins and/or themes and those usually assume you're running on PHP 5 so there's a higher chance of stuff like this happening.

Probably wouldn't be an issue very often but I would be more paranoid about updates breaking things if I were running HHVM in production.

Now if only MS and Google could patch things up and MS get google services on MS Phone 10.

Yeah I know, don't hold my breath.

@scottalanmiller thats the first link i checked but for some reason is not opening for me. Just logged in with personal and works fine. Video and audio calls for now, don't think screen sharing is available. But this is big news, and I hope this works on the smart tv browsers too soon, as I am in the process of getting tiny PCs on conference rooms to connect to our smart TVs for Skype conf setup connecting all offices.

Personally I like crash plan too. This for my clients who wants to use s3, for windows I've used cloudberry and I love the software for the interface and options to connect to different things like S3, glacier etc. and glad that they released one for Mac as well.

For UE you need to find the IT staff member who was in drama class or local theatre or law school - anything where engaging public speaking is practised. Especially in larger companies you can find a really deep pool of talent at this sort of thing.

Then, ROI is much larger - get that employee to do lunch & learns, after hours classes, whatever. Get mgmt to buy in and offer food / incentives.

1/100th the cost of hiring an external company, the material is INCREDIBLY well tailored to your environment and the "teacher" is always around.

This already exists on the printer/copier side. Most printers/copiers today print a water mark of tiny dots (if color, normally in yellow).

Now the next piece has just been added - no surprised.

@Dashrender It's too late now. All the spam bots have already screen scraped the image and subscribed you to Cat Facts Hourly, Cat Facts Weekly, FurBaby Facts Monthly, and Arachnids R Us.

it's a really good thing I moved away from that address primarily.

The whole thing sounds like intentional discrimination against Nascar drivers! It starts here, but where does it end?!? I ask you: where does it end?

It is basically Steam's Big Screen mode and on Linux. So set up to be a console out of the box instead of converting an existing machine into that.

I'm pretty sure that Apple will sell you whatever you want to buy.

At extortionist pricing...

There is only one price. I don't think that Apple does any extra markup on the drives after the fact. They are the same price up front or later. So no extortion pricing, it's all level pricing. That's one of the Apple advantages. Sure, you have a higher price starting point, but you get all price transparency and the majority of the price pain up front. There are no surprises and later price jacks once people are locked in, even though they are locked in.

@Nic no doubt they're feeding the hamster and shovelling the coal
