Reply to Privacy and the Administration’s newest initiative, and some other stuff, too. in Internet WinCustomize Forums

Oh, I'm quite aware of the android apps for dictation. Doctors love their tech toys. They want to be able to dictate from anywhere, while doing anything, with whatever new-fangled present they bought for themselves. Fortunately for me, because they want to dictate from anywhere while doing anything (including eating, joking with colleagues, ordering drive-through, etc.,) they're going to need me to clean up the mess the voice recognition engine makes of what

I'm going to keep letting Google mine my data. I like the fact that when I'm working, and I need to find out what that over-tired resident doctor is mumbling, I can type what I phonetically hear him saying and Google figures out within just a few keystrokes, what I need to know; because Google has been mining me, figuring out the sort of direction my searches go in. Google can figure out the new drug I'm trying to type, and how to spell it, even when drugs.com's ph

JMO, Jim, but " If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." You're going to have to wait for her to come around, IF she ever comes around, or you're going to have to contemplate living with her being pissed at you, for the rest of your life or divorcing her. If she can hold a grudge against a 14-year-old for 3 years, and not forgive him when he's now emerging into adulthood and wants contact with his real dad...she'll be able to make yo

He has no control of his anger at all, and I can understand with a temper like that, where his baby girl got her attitude. Kids learn what is modeled for them. This guy is just reaping what he's sown. He should have taken the laptop away and made

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="20" id="3073382"]No system is perfect. If the person's innocent, then what's the harm?[/quote] Because the term "innocent" or "guilty" is not as black-and-white as it may seem, especially in an election year. Because "child molester" isn't always some grizzly old pedophile diddling kindergartners; sometimes it's 16-year-olds having their first love with a 15-year-old, and that's a long damn time to be wearing a friggin' chip.&nb

Y'all know how I feel about the Bible, but this is just too "mark of the beast" for me. We all know how identities can be stolen, and we all know how damaged credit reports and such can destroy a life -- I just don't think we need one more piece of verification that can ruin a life. If credit cards and such can be hacked, so can these things.

Just delete all the code in the glass section. As for the lovely texture...it's not going to work in the header bars. You're better off going with something a little simpler there, like a gradient or just a little inner glow.
