I just sent my mom pictures of my vacation that I uploaded to Picasa. Predictably, I had to go over her house to show her how to browse them. She does not have a google plus account, and was able to view them fine. My pictures are not shared with everybody, just my family circle in google plus.
It's possible that the fact that she has a gmail address is what allowed her to pass through.
Just found out that TF2 is now free from these comments. I just finished creating a Steam account and it'll be about 3-4 hours before TF2 is installed. It's one of those games that I really wanted to try at the time, but never got around to. Finding out it's free and active is more than enough to get me to give it a try.
I think the main reason I never tried it is that I didn't realize that it still had an active community, and I've been tired of paying for games I get bored with easily. Also, though the game may have slipped to 10 bucks, I never even knew it was that cheap.
On topic, I tried a trial of WOW about a year ago and played about an hour before I got tired of it. Took me about 2 weeks before I completely deleted it though. I have no intention of downloading it again due to the changed terms. I know I'll get hooked if I play long enough, but while I'm still clear eyed it just doesn't seem to be that fun of a game.
If what they're saying is true, what does it matter what their motive is? If WebGL is a "severe security risk", what's the point of attacking Microsoft for pointing that out and not supporting it? Conversely, if Microsoft did support something that gave IE and Windows a new gaping security hole, wouldn't everyone then jump on Microsoft for not doing the right thing? Also, if Microsoft has a competing platform which is a lot more secure, why shouldn't they support that instead? I don't see how it's their responsibility to fix a technology which is not prepared for primetime, when they already have technologies that do the same thing without the same amount of risk.
I really can't figure out what Microsoft is being blamed for here.
Online retailers have usually only been doing that for states they had a physical presence in. I guess when both the seller and buyer are in the same state, it's simply a sales tax and not a "use tax" and remains the obligation of the seller to collect those taxes.
A coworker just showed me his ambulance bill as he was raving about it. He crashed his motorcycle about 1.5 blocks from the hospital, and paid about $800. I joked with him that if that ever happens again, he should decline the ambulance and call a taxi.
That kind of thing only works if everyone is actually prepared to quit. That's usually not the case, and could backfire horribly if your bluff is called. Threatening to quit is a lot like pulling out a gun. You better be prepared to pull the trigger if the threat alone doesn't work.
(2) Computer programs that enable wireless telephone handsets to execute software applications, where circumvention is accomplished for the sole purpose of enabling interoperability of such applications, when they have been lawfully obtained, with computer programs on the telephone handset.
(3) Computer programs, in the form of firmware or software, that enable used wireless telephone handsets to connect to a wireless telecommunications network, when circumvention is initiated by the owner of the copy of the computer program solely in order to connect to a wireless telecommunications network and access to the network is authorized by the operator of the network.
It seems to me that jailbreaking was specifically authorized both to run applications and to connect to a different network.
Like a lot of writers, he lost the drive & hunger he had back when he wasn't as famous.
Yeah, that's pretty much nonsense. Like a lot of critics who don't know what they're talking about, you haven't read/watched the very material you're criticizing.
My favorite is people who tell me a movie sucked because they fell asleep in the first 15 minutes.
The point is that Segregation would have taken much much longer to overturn if not for the Supreme Court. If you waited for the States to do it individually, a few states might still have it today. Plus, the supreme court did not invent the practice of keeping Blacks in their own inferior space and not allowing them to intermingle with whites. Their only stamp was to say that if you separated the races, there had to be equal facilities for both. Of course that was ignored because the people who could enforce this weren't willing.
25 states wouldn't have accepted Polygamy, so even under this 25-state proposal, it would still have been banned.
Things like slavery and segregation started out among the people, then were codified upward in the local community, then the state, then the national government. Saying the federal government created these things, and is the genesis of most unjust things, is just flat out wrong. Individual people are.
Which shows the complete failure of the current system of mathematics. 12 years of those students learning algorithms and they remember and care about almost none of them.
Also, why do they need to subtract negative numbers? Isn't it time to acknowledge that those particular students will not pursue a career that involves mathematics (or applying formulas) and stop wasting their time?
Maybe you need to read the essay again, but your experiences are 100% in support of his point.
What are you going to do when the next network introduces tiered pricing to deal with the influx of customers using 2 gigs of data for a flat fee? Either you're going to change your habits or they're going to charge you more eventually.
I've never purchased a copy of Windows before, but the experience I got from Windows 7 Release Candidate caused me to buy it. I'm certainly not the only one. There are definitely a nonzero amount of customers that can be gained by giving users something they don't feel cheated in paying for.
Do you believe the 2 people using this configuration are swamping Nvidia's support network? If not, why disable the option?
You can't have it both ways, it can't be something that nobody uses, along with such a support nightmare that they must disable it for the few people that want this configuration.
Someone should tell the NCAA about the Tostito's Fiesta Bowl / the Rose Bowl presented by Citi / or the hundreds of sponsors for March madness.
Any argument that the NCAA wants to prevent corporations from making money is proved false by reality. The NCAA simply wants to be the only beneficiary of the tens to hundreds of millions. That's why the player's names aren't on the jerseys, and why their names aren't in the games. If their names were actually mentioned, then the players would have to get some of the money. If it can be claimed they're only selling a team jersey, the colleges and NCAA keep it all. Never mind that the only jerseys that sell are the ones with the past or current stars numbers on them.
To the subject at hand, people don't buy sports games to play as a uniform, they also want to play as their favorite players with realistic stats, abilities and looks. Even with the looks, jersey, and stats being accurate, it's usually not enough. The first thing many people do is download a patch with the real names.
So are you saying that if this guy was black and walked into the store with a jedi robe, he would have been allowed to wear it around the store? If you are, I think you're crazy and that the owner would be even more convinced he was going to get robbed.
If you aren't saying that, what is your point about bringing up minorities, since they would in fact have been treated the same.
Are you okay with a religion where the messiah was born to a woman who never had sex, could turn water into wine, walk on water, and came back from the dead? What about an all-powerful entity who created the world in a week, and stopped a river so his chosen ones could walk across the riverbed?
I can't think of a religion that doesn't have elements of "magic", and the only reason why some are taken seriously, are the numbers of followers and how long the stories of magic have been around.
Actually the ribbon is great and most people prefer it after using it for a week or two. My opinion is based on feedback from the pilot users at my company that have went through the transition already.
However, since neither of us has verifiable stats, let's just agree to not use the word "most" as if there was no debate on the subject.
a 1 month sample size? As a gamer, I can say that I had disposable income this month and wanted new games for my 360, but didn't see anything worth my $60. I ended up buying some games that came out last year used from Gamestop.
You would also expect hardware sales for the major consoles to be declining, as they've been out for so many years now. There's nothing in those numbers that makes linking this to the recession, anything more than a random guess.
The most interesting excerpt from wikipedia"
"Three individuals whose conversations were intercepted, Suliman al-Buthe, Wendell Belew and Asim Ghafoor, learned of the eavesdropping when U.S. officials accidentally delivered logs of phone calls to them.[12] Al-Buthe, who had been the Foundations U.S. director, moved back to Saudi Arabia. Belew and Ghafoor were two of the Foundation's U.S. lawyers."
I would really like to hear the full explanation of how that got screwed up.
Far too often, government ineffiency and stupidity is all that protects us. Apparently, someone in the government can eavesdrop on your conversations at will, and the only way you'll find out is if they're kind enough to deliver a transcript.

Because you don't want a "shitty half-assed console port."

Or maybe he was just trying to communicate an idea and wasn't worried about being graded.

An other advantage, greater power control, and allow more poer for devices is entirely missed in the article.
I actually read the article, and no it isn't.

If all you're doing is changing the number after the password, as most people are doing, making the password expire isn't accomplishing anything.
