And they act like theirs is the only class you have. One of my friends is taking five classes in graduate school, and she had five papers due in the same week - followed by three midterms.
Most Apple people I know take their busted Apple products straight to an Apple (or the phone company's) store without calling ahead of time, unless it's one of those crazy stores that needs an appointment.
There were a few overlapping notes from pedal suspension that created chords. Although they tried to make ugly pattern-free music, they just ended up making modern music.
The good ol' USA has already been doing this over in Lawrence Livermore National Lab. 128 lasers pointing to a single little little blob of hydrogen, to fuse it into helium. Actually, I'm pretty sure some of the amazing work they did in their laser amplification is what is going to allow the experiment in the article to go forward. It cost them three billion dollars, but they figured out a way to turn a pulse of electricity that's barely enough to power a light bulb for an hour into over a hundred very very powerful, very angry lasers.
One reason Google dominated for a long time was the austerity of the Google main page - compared to stupid MSN and Yahoo! the Google home page was clean and refreshing (and the doodles are cute.). When Yahoo! would take a good minute to load, Google was up and ready to search in five seconds. I think the advent of ubiquitous broadband and DNS prefetching and caching and the like has made novice PC users less likely to change to Google as their homepage, or to ask someone how to "make the Internet go faster." Bing is the default search on IE9's default MSN home page, which comes preloaded on Win7 machines these days. Even we don't bother to automatically change the homepage to Google any more, preferring to leave that up to the user.
My manager has "Applicants must apply in person between 8AM and 12PM to be considered" tucked away in the job description. Any person who applies via email is instantly ignored for inability to follow instructions. The last person he hired (as his assistant) actually said as her first sentence, "I saw this job listing last night and was about to email you, when I reread it just to be sure you would take emails and then I saw it said come in during morning hours. I'm glad I read it again more closely."
A few times now I've gone through "logic tests" during interviews. When they give me that 4 page sheet and say I have 45 minutes to complete it, I go "Oh boy oh boy!" and usually finish the whole thing with five minutes to spare. I did those sorts of problems as a hobby as a teenager. I love them! Then they give me the personality test, at which point I am screwed.
The last job interview I had involved no testing or quizzing at all, just proof I didn't lie on my resume. As a result, I was hired by the end of the interview and I've been with the company for a bit over a year now.
Actually, I stand corrected. It's being bundled with the Amazon Prime service, which is $79 a year but comes with a host of other stuff. So it's not really free after all - more like a lagniappe.
Actually... libraries are one of the biggest purchases of books in the country. Most libraries have a new acquisitions budget in the hundreds of thousands (millions for the big regional libraries), and there are thousands of libraries across the country. A book that hits #100 on the bestseller list is probably going to be picked up by those thousands of libraries too, so once a book hits a certain critical mass, the publishers have another wave of guaranteed sales.
The thing that bothers me about Siri is that the hard processing is client/server based - it has to send the command back to base and thus can take 10-15 seconds before chirping an answer. This is the same thing that Android has done for quite some time. If Apple really wanted to make this the Google Killer, they needed to shrink the AI onto a chip and have it work directly on the phone with a response time of 3-5 seconds. It's not a natural language process when there are unnatural pauses every sentence.
You missed the point. Critics and global warning denialists have been arguing for years that the climate science data is all fake and that scientists are in on one giant conspiracy, using each other's fake data so they can continue to milk research grant money from the system. It's not true for climate science because the data isn't faked, and it's not true for any other type of science because science doesn't work like that.
Considering that one of the crisis Libya faces involves oil production and gaining control of the resources generated from it, having an engineer who knows the industry is quite possibly the smartest decision they could make. Much of the corruption of the old Libyan government involved the oil production industry and misappropriation of profits by the companies that drill there. Hopefully this dude is honest and will help put an end to the worst of the oil abuses.
Mine are all squiggled on post it notes. (This is also for my own convenience; memory like a sieve, etc.) I think also part of the challenge is just organizing all this information. I know what bills are drawn from my checking account, and my husband does, but anyone else is going to be scratching their heads over some of that stuff.
Also, how are they going to bill it? Any schmuck with a website and a Google account can get a maps API key. Are they going to look up info on Whois and send an invoice in the mail?
So if you're getting millions of requests that aren't actually meant for you, that could drive up your monthly bill as well as your traffic usage. Good thing they caught that...
We're rolling out Windows 7 on new machines, but we're not doing in-place upgrades on older boxes. We've finally got a good ghosting program to allow us to clone images, and as long as we order the same model for a batch of replacements and just change the Win7 and Office licenses and machine names it's working out pretty well. (Last batch was eight new machines for an OB/GYN office, all cloned and rolled out in a day.)
Since the half life of most machines is about 5 years (fifty percent of machines will die within that 5 year span if they aren't properly cared for), it'll be a while before XP is gone for good.
Specifically, Small Gods and Snow Crash. The classics are all there, and a few modern ones I don't think will outlast the century, but the majority of them are all very solid.
Specifically, it took me two missed calls to figure out how to answer them. But after that, doing everything and anything I wanted on that phone was cake. (And now ice cream too.)

Same. Dammit, waste of a good point.

This is called a middle school beginner's band.

It's free. Hence, "lending" and not "renting."
Engineer + engineer = autisim. Artist + artist = ADHD or bipolar or just plain nuts (my family.) Engineer + artist = gifted kid.
Too bad who you fall in love with has nothing to do with personality types or abilities.

Plus I have the option of making my SpeakToIt something other than a generic female. Mine is a nice guy with a British accent named Oliver.
Not that he was an engineer by any meaningful definition of the term...

So all you need to do then is have one central sheet of paper with the "key" to your password? Not a bad idea.
