Different devices on a hotel guest wifi network are not supposed to see each other (and a hotel room wifi login on a ChromeCast dongle seems difficult - to say the least). ChromeCast in a hotel would be my critical application. Plug it into the Hotel TV, tie it my tablet to it and play local movies or HBO Go.
The best way to solve that would be a direct connection between the dongle and the tablet, not going through the router. Unless this is fixed by now, I have need to hold out as I have other (better?) means of playing various sources of video at home.
Maybe a third party solution would fix this, however, will it be supported by the third parties like HBO?
Its all good until you get caught... The problem is when do you stop, as long as it goes well, no reason to stop, you may expand the operations... Then one day, you are caught and all was for naught.
Brezhnev took Afghanistan. Begin took Beirut. Galtieri took the Union Jack. And Maggie, over lunch one day, Took a cruiser with all hands. Apparently, to make him give it back.
Yet, in the United States you are required to report to the IRS all your foreign bank accounts if the total value is over $25k, every year. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f90221.pdf
If you don't, they may not find out, but of they do its a problem for you. To avoid this, hiding money in shell companies is frowned upon at least.
and not every country is like the united states. The tax code is quite matured regulation, usually not a lot of ways to get out of it legally. If the tax authorities know more, they will get more, and leave some skeletons behind.
The use of "Searching for missing people" is obvious the cover for any misconduct. You can always be looking for missing people, everywhere and at any time. Do something you should not be doing with a drone, use the excuse of searching for missing people.
This reminds me that I have to move my NAS to a place out of sight. The attic comes to mind, need to run CAT6 up there. The laptops/tables are quite light on personal data, the NAS on the other hand isn't.
How easy would it be to emulate the old cell processor on the new hardware to support old titles? Also, its been made clear by the industry that reselling of games is not the way to the future, delivery (and payment) on demand is. When you control the delivery mechanism, you control the money flow.
Ranch Dressing makes EVERYTHING better. The only way to make Ranch Dressing better is if someone figured out put caffeine in it. Yum, Caffeinated Ranch Dressing!
Not all students will do the final test. The assumption here is that if 160000 students enroll and pay their fees, a (much?) smaller number of students actually follow through to the end. Because the fees are so low, why not give it a try? I suspect the dropout rate is much higher with a low entry fee.
I would provide x amount of time for warranty (say two months) and provide the option to buy into service (monthly fee) that covers feature and security fixes. The best part of a service model is that you keep contact with the customer and you can up-sell them to the next feature release. This model does not work as well for all custom work.
For custom x months of warranty plus $x per hour for changes and fixes. Providing them with a lifetime support option is very unpredictable and may scare the customer away. They may plan on using the solution for 3 years where you are covering your ass when you need to fix it 20 years from now (current year equivalent: you need to keep that prehistoric server running to make minor changes in COBOL...) and account for that somehow. Be specific what lifetime warranty is when you go that route, sometimes it is just educating the client on expectations.
Yes, but with different logins (for sites like/.). The different logins are remembered when I get to the site, the password is predictable when I need to do something.
When website business gets serious, a separate password schema is used (Bank, Web Stores, etc.).
To be honest, why would not every site let me choose how long my password is? I am a strong believer in the 'correct horse battery staple' method for passwords.
Are you implying that there are no wealthy professionals in SF who are aligned with the political left? Do you realize that Nancy Polosi's district is San Francisco?
I agree only on your point that the product is almost completely visible. No need to unpack. What I do not agree on is the easy to open idea of perforation in the back. That never works. Either the perforation is to rigid and wont tear without excessive force, I usually get a scissor to open.
A well made clam shell packaging can be opened and closed with press locks and a piece of tape. If you need to return an item, you can do so in decent shape, if the product came in a completely sealed clam shell (with or without perforation) and I need to return it, expect it to be returned in a plastic bag as the packaging will never go back to its original shape.
Lastly, CFL bulbs need to be in clam shell packaging as it protects the product fairly well, however, when you buy a pack (always more than one in a package) to replace one lamp, you end up with one or more unprotected bulbs as the package never comes back to its original shape. The last thing you want to do is break an spare CFL in storage.
I agree, but we must stay away from dancing or else the fees will double.
Why would it be more expensive to listen to a song by an artist when the listeners start moving their behinds to the beat? And at what point are people dancing? Can that be defined clearly?
Splitting out the results by topic is not a new idea at all. Many years ago while consulting at Yahoo! we already played around with a search engine that broke its results by topic (back then we used the 'Explorer' search text to show its potential). Somehow this never caught on.
I cannot remember the name of that particular search engine we used back then (these were the days of Altavista, a new start up called Google and Microsoft was still using Yahoo). A little research on the webs brought me to this: http://search.yippy.com/ It does the same thing without the thumbnail bloat. Try it with search terms like Explorer or Roots. It is a different experience.
disclaimer: I have absolutely nothing to do with yippy.com and if this article was not posted I would never have looked for it.

correct, the bell curve is drawn as a spike.
A middle class would indicate that there is at least some kind of bell shape.
