yes. most major banks do. This is similar to how I have my account setup. I say pay the bill if it is up to x otherwise send me an email and an account alert next time I log in. Seems to work fine as long as I either check my email or look at my account.
I would have thought they would have nothing but an error page on file... after all, the site didn't get changed, it got deleted. Click on the original pages and you will see that they are completely unavailable, not just changed.
The version google and baidu cached should have been the same.
It went: page, no page; not: page, changed page.
My concern isn't with the IOC, my concern is with google changing history. Cache is considered a history - an accurate representation of how something was at the point it was captured. If the cache has been altered we can't trust any of google's data to not have been tampered with. How do you know they aren't altering your gmail, your website content on click-through, or your spreadsheet data? Perhaps something like a less centralized version of grub is in order. Heck, we are all browsing websites... combine a less scary FOSS alexa-style toolbar to search and crawl and offer opt-in to sharing your cache with a crawler, keep a couple megs open for the index, and run the search like a gnutella client with the results/search bar right in the browser.
No need to stay silent about him, it is best everyone knows - I keep finding his scripts running at night on my systems too. He uses the login "nobody", and I'll be damned if I know what his code does!;-)
Well apparently this isn't going to improve CO2 levels much, since according to this website UV + titanium dioxide => CO2! Plus, based on the bug trap being sold at that link, I'm guessing that mosquitoes could pose a serious problem for this experiment...
Actually my income and property taxes pay way more than your license plate fees do, so if you would like to use those fees and give me back mine to build safe paths for biking, I would be more than happy. BTW, most bicyclists also have cars and licenses for long trips etc. So we are paying that fee too. We just choose not to pollute or congest the roads any more than necessary.
Why I will agree with you that some cyclists don't follow the rules and pose a hazard, most motorists don't pay attention either. There is a stretch of road I often must bike past that is full of businesses. The bike path there is a sidewalk type path separated from the road by a strip of grass and a curb. On any given day I can be cut off by 3 or more cars turning in front of me when I have the right-of-way both by default (they are turning) and by traffic control devices (they have a red light, I have a walk/ride indicator). Blaming bicyclists for bad roadways isn't going to solve anything.
Depending on the encryption algorithm you are using, this would likely be pretty weak... binaries tend to repeat quite a bit and repetition is where any half decent cryptographer would start attacking. However, you might be on the right track if you had a stored set of data and an additional key, which is one thing that a hash accomplishes.
Use public transit this. If you use it, they will improve it. Plus there is the added benefit that I won't fear for my life when I see you reading the paper as you go down the road.
That still leaves plenty of options:
1. move closer and walk/ride a bike (many areas with bad weather have tunnels)
2. Telecommute to the job
3. Take public transit. If everyone that couldn't do 1 or 2 did this we wouldn't need more bike paths, we could use an extra full sized lane on the road away from the other traffic.
I'm sure I'll be modded down for this, but the excuse that public transit isn't convenient enough and I can't ride a bike is bull crap. Public transit is only crappy because no one uses it. Call your public officials and demand it be improved and then start using it. If everyone put up with it being crappy for a couple months the government would be forced to keep up with demand or a private enterprise would enter the market.
no, I thought about that too, but common laptops use in the 60+ watt range, so if you are talking ultra-portable it would be much lower. A single core macbook pro for instance uses 19-55 watts, so david.given's explanation makes sense. If you take the 63434 watt-seconds / 3600 (watt hour) = ~17.6, which would be more in line with expecting a peak of 4 watts higher or ~21.6. I recall that the preview announcements claimed these systems would draw about 22 watts, and that is almost dead on, even with rounding error. That means if this processor were used instead of a core solo it would almost double the battery life (screen size, wireless, etc. aside).
Or perhaps Microsoft shouldn't put a sticker on a device they claim to have tested for compatibility if it isn't actually compatible. If I bought a machine that said Red Hat Linux compatible and it behaved like this on but worked fine on xp would be just as upset with Red Hat. If I put oil in my car that says it is compatible and it messes up my engine I would be pissed too, so I don't think it is unfair to judge a software company that claims something works propertly under x circumstance when it actually doesn't.
Well I haven' complained yet, but let me chime in. I haven't installed it, I didn't need to. I used it on a brand new acer laptop where it was preinstalled by the manufacturer. The machine is a core 2 duo with 2 GB ram and and X3100 graphics which was the best available onboard chipset from Intel at the time of purchase.
Problems with Vista that you notice very quickly (but not in 10 minutes):
1. Windows Firewall, UAC, and Norton (preinstalled) fight constantly over control of the PC. If you go online for very long you will go nuts from messages asking you to turn on or off norton or windows firewall because one is better than the other and then more messages asking if the decision you just made is the decision you wanted to make. This repeats over and over no matter what you choose until you minimize the warning messages or go insane.
2. The power management doesn't warn you when the batteries are low and doesn't sleep the computer no matter what settings you choose. It is always fun to play "guess when we hibernate", especially since their handly little "we'll hide random tray icons" means you are less than informed about the remaining battery %.
3. The OS doesn't allow the computer to step-down the speed properly when doing simple things like word processing, so the fan goes nuts and the computer has actually gotten to dangerous heat levels and shutdown.
4. IE 7 gives abort retry fail messages in a loop every 3d time or so it is used. We finally figured out that if you hit abort about 17 times it will go away and will work for a couple web pages before crashing out. We used those couple webpages to download firefox which works until the machine gets too hot and shuts down.
5. Wireless doesn't work properly. It doesn't always detect networks even when they are in the same room and often won't connect to secure networks even if it detects them, or it will stop responding and the only thing that will get it to connect to ANY network after that is running the network repair 5 or 6 times which does god knows what saying no network problems found the first 5 times until the 6th time it says network repaired and working.
Note that none of these problems were experienced running ubuntu on a bootable cd or on XP after tracking down drivers, and all these problems were experience out of the box, and continued after installing Vista SP1.
I'm sorry, but if literally being unable to check email, visit a website, or type a document without a bunch of messages, warnings, errors, and failures doesn't equal a bad user experience, I don't know what does... perhaps their next operating system can poison my cereal too.
Only in that banana hands look similar to jazz hands when attached to the stalk... other than that they are dissimilar and I like banana hands better. Banana hands are sweet and delicious while jazz hands often have a bitter taste of cigar smoke, cheap whiskey, or opiate residue depending on the variety.
No, I let some bananas get ripe on the tree once. They were horrible. At least the varieties of bananas I've grown are much better if pulled off before yellow.
according to plant answers: "Bananas ripen best if removed from the plant after reaching the rounded ridge maturity. Bananas will ripen slowly if left on the plant but often burst and spoil. Few of the ripening changes proceed well in banana fruits left to ripen on the tree: starch remains high while the sugar remains lower than in fruit ripened off the tree."
according to How To Do Things: "To harvest bananas: Use the machete and cut the stem of the green banana cluster above the first hand, or grouping, of bananas, leaving a good amount of stem."
according to california rare fruit growers: "The [banana] fruit can be harvested by cutting the stalk when the bananas are plump but green."
manually propagated is a bit of a stretch.... they will send out runners of their own, but if you hack one down they send out more. basically if they think they are dying they try to replicate. It isn't like they are in a lab with a bunch of DNA and proteins and pour it into a clone-hatcher 3000 or something.
bananas are supposed to be picked green. they get woody (tough with bitter flavor) if left on the tree to ripen. To get them to be sweeter the blossom is cut off after an incomplete row of banana hands is made which concentrates the growth into the existing bananas instead of attempts to make more.
oh yes! like the banana plantations have helped the milpa farmers in Central and South America by making them cheap labor for international conglomerates...
Well if you read the article here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1022822/Incredible-pictures-Earths-uncontacted-tribes-firing-bows-arrows.html
you would know that they painted themselves after the helicopter made its first pass and is likely a sign of aggression. As an Anthropologist I can tell you that elaborate body painting is not uncommon in this region. This is real, but the information is rather poor quality and biased (and the latter article is very ethnocentric - you will NEVER find a culture that hasn't changed in 10,000 year's contact or not!)
southpark is a good example of this.
it may not be hand-drawn exactly, but definitely falls within 2-d animation. It is computer generated and replicates paper cut-outs very accurately.
This could definitely be done. it would be nice to see 2d cartoon drawings again.

well if they will disappear journalists as they have over the last few days, then yes, yes I don't believe they can be trusted by anyone.
but if they indexed it again, it shouldn't have had those terms and thus shouldn't have returned as a search result.
