The call centers seem generally ok if you know (or sound like you know) what the issue is and have checked the master socket for any signal. When I first got one of their routers, none of the ethernet ports were working properly. I called up and they started trying to go through the step-by-step pc test and I said that I'd tested it with different devices on different operating systems and they said OK and agreed to skip that and just send out a new router.
I'd they think he's the same guy in the previous article on global warming that kept going on about satellites. I don't know who was right but there seemed to be a big crowd waiting to jump on it and argue interminably. Maybe just modded down for mentioning satellites.
I think you're describing the German system. I'm not saying it's a bad system, but it does encourage more people who would be better off doing something vocational to do a year or two of it.
The maxwell 2.0 chips apparently don't have double precision fp operations natively. PGI (owned by nvidia) refuse to release a compiler for openacc (openmp for graphics cards) based on it citing this reason.
The problem with cuda cores isn't that they aren't fully programmable. The problem is that branches are expensive and the copying of data to and fro are expensive unless you can do the entire calculation within the graphics card which is memory dependent.
With the exceptions of the IBM machines, which held most of the top spots in 2012. The LLNL one is still #3... http://www.top500.org/list/201... and the ANL #5. The general idea was cheaper processors that doesn't do pipelining, but OTOH the cost of them is massively decreased and they all had an instruction unit capable of two threads per core so the onus is on the programmer to make sure that the alu was kept constant fed.
I'm pretty sure it's worse than that. Writing somebody's address down could be a copyright violation.Advertisements in a phone book are now illegal to copy onto a piece of paper. That is the car analogy to this law.
There was an EU arrest warrant for him. He went to court to fight it. It was decided that it was legitimate but he was released on bail. He left the jurisdiction. I'm not really sure how the UK could have been more flexible without violating treaties or trying to rewrite other countries' laws.
Lecture theaters are probably lying unused for a time etc. There are ways to gain profits even after hiring the relative number of staff for the increase in students....
No government wants full employment. It effectively means they need immigrants to fulfill any new job. No government can admit that truth in any reasonable way for fear of it's own citizens about foreigners getting higher paid jobs. They especially need highly skilled immigrants which nobody wants to really admit exist. 2-10% is going pretty well as long as there's not long term or highly skilled jobs going unfilled.
It has to be a regular office, which I assume courts would take to mean that you can't send workers to different offices all the time without some sort of compensation. I'd guess that the first company to really try this loophole will find itself in the EU courts trying to explain how changing the 'regular' office every week was reasonable.
Once you're at the 'office' in case 2 you are working and so are paid for the time taken for you to get to clients. This was a loophole that was being used to avoid paying staff by not having a starting point for the working day.
You can work up to (as far as I can tell, 6 days a week for 13 hours a day which is 78 hours a week. You just cannot be forced or expected to do more than 48.
art 3 there must daily rest of 11 consecutive hours per 24-hour period
art 4 a rest period for every six hours, set by legislation or collective agreement
art 5 weekly rest of 24 hours uninterrupted, on top of the daily rest in art 3, but derogation justifiable for technical, organisational or work reasons
art 6 (a) member states must ensure weekly working time is limited by law, or collective agreement(b) average working time should not exceed 48 hours for each 7 day period
art 22 ‘miscellaneous’ (1) individual opt out for art 6 where (a) the worker agrees (b) no detriment for not agreeing (c) records kept up to date (d) authorities kept informed (e) information given (2) three week transitional provision (3) inform Commission
Eg If offered overtime on a regular basis, that is fine. The company just cannot expect you to do it, nor punish you for refusing.
If a user recognizes a joke as a re-worded version of someone else's tweet, they can flag it as a "duplicate", with a link to the earlier tweet that they think is similar. (Flagging it as intentional "plagiarism" would be a bit harsh, since it's quite common for multiple comedians to come up with the same joke.)
So we're expecting one sample of 1000 people to overlap with another sample of 1000 people AND that they will read and remember enough of the jokes to mark it as plagarism? If that's not what is assumed then one could still surely still game the system and harvest jokes that (effectively) nobody has seen by making multiple accounts and stealing all the best jokes that only 1000 people see....

Or double the time...
I may have been wrong on this. My apologies.
Ah yes. Just like providing aid to India in the hope that it just goes all Raj
The world service generally isn't funded out of licence fees. It's expected to pay for itself in selling programmes overseas.
Apollo as we all know was cancelled it in its 8th year, going massively over budget and producing nothing but non-functioning ICBMs.
5 years experience! Imagine if that was a few years more than an apprenticeship!

Unfortunately, that's exactly what a sock puppet would say before using this account to shill :x
