The key here is "average user". To what do we compare the average? By virtue of posting on CH and elsewhere we're part of a group taking advantage of social media. Averages are also skewed by the extremes who tend to get the attention (e.g. those who have gone "overboard", shall we say). And the...

I have it on with my business phone as it's tied into the notices for new messages. I have it turned down though, just loud enough for me to hear it, but not be a disturbance. When I'm in our work office, though, and everyone has their work phones, none of them go off at the same time with a...

I'm bad at watching my email, which I need to work on. I'll look at email maybe once a day or two. I get little "pop-up" reminders if I get a new one, and I'll read it if it's important or from family. The others are usually from professional organizations or just something I can read later. But...

Funny how unprepared for this my workplace is. Our team was part of a 'Mobile Workplace Task Force' test site a a few weeks ago. We all tested a couple of tablets and a laptop that were fitted with VPN. We used them "in the field" to find out if it was reasonable to do so. And (SURPRISE!!!) of...

Okay, got it. I'm not sure, but it may sufficiently stun them to make an escape

I've never seen that - or maybe I have but just not picturing it. But, somehow, I don't think it would be 'Ultra-man' approved

Best. Tin. Hat. Ever. And, he's beat several aliens to boot!

Just curious, your present hat - better or worse than tin? And how effective is the rifle? Remember what you're up against. That kid has sand!

Aluminum hat ain't got nothin' against him...

I say it's this kid...

He'll convert soon enough.

Yep. You don't want your kid's butt on my phone? You take care of him. Kids are going to be kids. At 7 and 8 years old, this is within the bounds of 'normal stuff' (for them) anyway. You aren't the "boundary police" except with your own kids.

Actually, I think they're the sane ones. "Over-sharing", as it were, seems to be the more pathological (in a layman's sense) behavior when it comes to these issues. Part of a report that I was reading (that I can't link to, sorry) gives examples of significant information that can be gleaned...

You called it! :D The first of Elul??? :thinking:

Erm... Why does the model in the second video have the light source smaller than the object casting the shadow (3:15 and repeated)? Also, the model shows the light source, object, and reflecting 'screen' at equal distances. If the guy is going to 'debunk' something, debunk it correctly.

I'm sure it does have other names... :D

Fo' shizzle? :scared:

:smash:

Darn! Don't have my headphones... :/
