Well, I see your low ID and can only conclude that you have been cryogenically frozen and have just been woken up. I feel I should tell you that a wrench that will be in any way menacing costs more than $5 these days.
You would think businesses would encourage this. Here in Canada, we have a phone company, Bell Canada, which states on their web site that reputable businesses won't call you and ask for credit card information. Yet, one time I forgot to pay my bill and they called up and asked for my credit card information over the phone. It sounded very legitimate. I asked to talk to the manager and they directed me towards another person who apparently didn't see anything wrong with the practice.
It is businesses like these that are making the social engineering approach easy - they train their customers and teach them that it is a normal thing to give people credit card information over the phone. It really isn't hard to do if you're anything remotely close to being a good actor/actress.
When the equipment is good paypass is much faster. No waiting for change. Just tap the card on the machine and you're done.
Compare that to when I went to the dollar store the other day and I had to wait patiently while the clerk punched the numbers in on the calculator to figure out how much change to give back when I gave her a $2 coin to pay for a $1.13 purchase.
But the processor has to be somewhere and the data has to be somewhere. I suppose you could do everything on the cloud, but IME cell providers don't want to encourage heavy data usage, so it might make sense to put everything on the tablet and then connect to the HDTV/keyboard/mouse when they are available/wanted.
When you're done on the big screen and going out to visit a client or whatever you want to do (or go down the hall to show a colleague some work), you just unplug and show it to them on the tablet screen.
I wonder why it says: The ADV7612 incorporates Xpressview fast switching on both input HDMI ports. Using Analog Devices, Inc., hardware-based HDCP engine that minimizes software overhead, Xpressview technology allows fast switching between both HDMI input ports in less than 1 second.
Actually, we have an opt in program in our area where you can get a free fancy thermostat if you allow the hydro company to cycle down your air conditioner during peak demand. https://www.peaksaver.com/
You might get some other benefit too. Now I always presumed the idea is that this is coordinated, so I assume it is designed such that if you have say 100 000 homes, you can cut air conditioner power use by 25% by cycling 25 000 homes off for 15 minutes at a time. That way, there is likely little perceived affect on home comfort but they can still better manage and flatten out power usage when necessary.
Wow... I think I would want the person designing the buildings I live in and work in to have *at a minimum* a high school diploma or a GED. I'm fairly certain I would want them to have a university diploma in a related field as well. That, or at least have drawings signed off by somebody with the requisite training and certification.
It isn't about price. It's about a culture of misinformation that encourages people to take as few drugs as possible. You don't want to over medicate. The result is people stop taking the antibiotics once they feel better because they don't want to put more drugs in their system than they feel they need to.
The lack of education on this is startling at times.
My assumption was that it was designed to improve client relations. If people are behaving in ways that might offend a client or potential client, the client might not object on camera or on the phone. However, it may affect their decision to buy or it may affect the business relationship.
This may result in removing and sense of personality from these relationships as well which might be an undesirable effect.
It sounds like the one at the school is actually being enforced, while in Hamilton, I have never heard of this ban, which leads me to believe it was on the books but not really taken seriously, compared to the street hockey ban in Toronto which seems to have had a bigger deal made out of.
What was missing from the summary is that the serious incident that set this event off was a parent who was hit in the head and ended up with a concussion. Apparently instead of dealing with the one student, they chose to ban balls outright.
There is a good deal of emphasis on the news that the ban is temporary, but that just seems silly to me - if you admit you are going to allow balls again, then why ban them at all?
Another interesting thing that happened in response was a student protest (We Want Our Balls Back). Picture school aged children (grade school, not high school) protesting. You'll see in the article one student exclaimed "“You can take our balls, but you can’t take our freedom!”
It is also somewhat interesting to note that one of the local newscaster's children went to the school and thought it was ridiculous. His comment was (on the subject of a post above) "I've been hurt more by a pencil."
So, it should be clarified in defence of Canadians, that we think it is rather crazy too.
But it would possibly mean that you can't have something like a museum where you put your phone up to an infrared emitter and it reads a snippet of verbage to you about the exhibit in question.
You seem to know a bit about how these work. To have infringed on a patent, do you have to infringe on one claim? Or all claims?
i.e. In this particular patent, we have a claim: 4. The location information system of claim 3, wherein the at least one coordinate entry includes a latitude, a longitude, and an altitude entry.
If I implemented the exact same thing except using a different coordinate system, would I be infringing?
i.e. is it enough to be different in one point? Or do you have to be different in all points?
I always thought that the obvious solution was a pair of glasses that would house the display inside and would follow your eye movements. That solves the problem of having to hold the book/laptop/tablet. Then you have a small object that has page forward and page backward buttons to turn pages.
I use Unity on my laptop (which serves as my desktop) and I don't have any major issues with it.
I really don't understand what the fuss.
I mean, I got people like my parents who don't like change at all (they get uneasy if you move the icons on their desktop), but I find it surprising seeing the complaints come from IT professionals.
I also get it not being everybody's first choice. But the animosity directed towards it seems unreal.
Yeah but how much business are they losing? because i'm betting the amount of folks that have to have it NOW and are willing to be gouged is a hell of a lot lower than the normal consumer base. if you sell 20 thousand drives at 10% markup but only sell 1500 drives at 40% markup you're still losing business.
Losing to who? Is somebody else selling them for a lot cheaper? That only matters if the customers who will wait will purchase elsewhere instead of waiting for supply to go up and prices to go down. We *don't know* what drives were purchased for what price, so it is difficult to judge on that. What I would suspect is that for major retailers, they are going to adjust their prices based on the cost to replace the drives they sell because I would assume that as a retailer you generally replenish your stock as you move it.
I don't have root currently on mine (used to, but updated firmware and didn't see the need), but I can access the same functionality by going into Wifi Settings and pressing the button that says 'Tethering and Wifi Hotspot'. I hit a button to turn it on and there are settings that one can adjust if they so choose.
Stock firmware. Mind you I'm on a carrier that includes tethering, but I believe this feature has been available since Android 2.2 at least, so it's really a carrier issue more than anything. I suspect the issue is poster not knowing terminology rather than the feature existing or not existing.
As is evidenced below, there is confusion as to what exactly is meant by wifi proxy support, whereas none would exist if he/she had used the word tethering.

I guess I was thinking something more in the range of http://www.americawestdrillingsupply.com/Products2/PipeWrenches-Ridgid.asp?gclid=CNP_r7CBiK0CFWgEQAodklGomQ.

I heard people talk to CAPRICORNS the same way.

That chip does not support HDCP

In the information page then.

You pay $10 and you get a $20 voucher to spend at the store. It is essentially half price.
It isn't about price. It's about a culture of misinformation that encourages people to take as few drugs as possible. You don't want to over medicate.

Ahhh, but they are doing it in a new and novel way.
This is a patent of being annoying using the Internet.

The really nifty trick would be to grab other contact information and make calls/leave voicemails impersonating the device owner.
What does selling have to do with anything?
I always thought that the obvious solution was a pair of glasses that would house the display inside and would follow your eye movements. That solves the problem of having to hold the book/laptop/tablet. Then you have a small object that has page forward and page backward buttons to turn pages.
Bonus points if you can make it all waterproof.

I don't think there is an issue. Maybe it is interesting to some people that they are doing it again?
I think the browser world has changed so much that this is largely irrelevant.
I think it is a waste of government money to intervene into this issue.
