They did. The response was that the State Department issued Blackberries that check the State Department email do not allow additional email accounts to be added to the device.
I remember going through these exercises on a daily basis for nearly 5 years when I was a kid. They weren't pleasant to do, and required a lot of time and concentration. My doctor wanted me to do them 3 times a day, which I did for a while, but there was no difference. His response was that it helped some people, and just to keep on it for the rest of my life. I gave up shortly after.
I can still see, although only through one eye at a time, and for me this is purely a cosmetic issue.
Except on most of those Signature Edition PCs, they still include a trial of Office 365:) The HP's on the site have pre-loaded software that help you buy ink. So, it's halfway true...
It's just other people's trialware or junkware they don't include.
I'm just taking a guess that the sensor is broken -- so regardless of how much weight is on it, it sends the signal back to the computer that you aren't in the seat.
That paid for the FP engineering and QA team. The entire project was pretty much revenue neutral -- and the CC apps (like Flash Pro and DW) were the money makers in that department.
In Photoshop, you can still save back to Photoshop version 3 (that would be 11 versions back). When you do, it flattens any features you may have used that aren't supported in the older versions, but you can still open and modify the files.
At this point, I'm not very concerned with it. 99% of the features are still compatible with CS6, which is the last stand-alone version.
Give it a try, but research shows that the iOS devices are much better at accessibility.
On my campus we have "The Research Center for Persons with Disabilities," and they overwhelmingly advocate for iOS devices (iPad / iPhone). The difference is that iOS has the accessibility built into the OS, where under Android, it's up to the apps to support it. Things like Voice-Over, temporary speech, high-contrast mode, zoom, etc. are all OS level functions and don't rely on a single app to provide the feedback. On Android there are accessibility "hooks" that are pretty much only used by Google -- and if you don't have an ASOP device the addons that the hardware partners put in rarely make use of them (meaning some dialog boxes will do speech, some wont. Some critical apps will, some won't).
For e-books there are apps like Voice Dream (again, iOS), that come highly recommended. Essentially, it turns the book reading experience into something like iTunes -- you can scrub through the file, read it back faster,slower etc. It also highlights the words it is trying to pronounce so that if you run across a technical word that isn't commonly annunciated properly, you can zoom in and read it for yourself.
Ability to find parts on for the aging system is probably becoming more and more difficult. Regardless of the software platform, the OS is aged enough where certain parts are bound to be harder and harder to obtain should they need a replacement.
There is also something to be said about reviewing all the business rules and updating them to meet their current needs. That usually happens during a revamp of the system.
LR works with RAW files. iTunes/iPhoto converts them to JPEG. You lose all the raw sensor data, and any changes you make to the files are then destructive.
There's 5,000 more reasons why, but that is the biggest that comes to mind...
With the cost of spinning discs so cheap, why delete any of them (aside from the obviously bad blurry ones)? I've always had a habit of tagging photos as good or bad (in the metadata of the photos, using Lightroom), with the thought of deleting them one day if I needed space. Then my grandmother passed away and a whole bunch of photos that were deemed "meh," became much more valuable. For the cost of pennies to store them and keep them around I was able to create a photo album of passable photos that meant the world to my parents and extended family.
Worst come to worst, move them to slow storage (DVD's Bluerays, etc), if you don't want to keep them on spinning discs.
The thing is, this is just another step in progression. I don't think they are recommending this same procedure for humans. Sensitivity to light is a huge leap forward into restoring partial, then full sight. Conventional wisdom today says that if your retinas stop responding to light, you are done. This procedure allows them to begin responding to light via another mechanism. Sure, it's not sight at this point, but that is what further research will produce.
MS Clipart wasn't internal, or stored on your local PC since Microsoft Office 2003. It's gone online to download the clipart. In 2003 -> 2010 it cached them locally so that if you downloaded it once, it was cached on your computer so you could re-use it without having to download it again.
What was nice about the Clipart was they were all vector-based images. Meaning they scaled nicely. All the images that come up using the Bing search are 300x400 or close -- which looks like crap if you try to use it. Sure, most of the images in the clipart library were pretty bad and way overused, but at least they were pixelated crap.
Most of the highways have short field on both sides of the road. No trees, buildings, or other obstructions for the critters to hide behind. In most cases you can see a deer or cow well over a mile away along the side of the road...
I've seen it used mostly by people who used to carry around laptops to meetings, then switched to iPads. They replaced their iPads with this because it has a slightly better keyboard, and allows them to actually use Outlook (so they can schedule more meetings with shared calendars) or Project. I've seen a few IT managers carry it around because they can RDP into servers (they can use the VPN client that we use -- the iPad doesn't have the SSL-VPN software).
People don't use it for real work. They seem to be using it as fancy toys they bring to meetings. All the people I know who have one still have a real laptop, and still have a desktop.
Just to dive into this a bit more. I just got quotes to connect three of the farms on our campus.
$3.50/ft over the distance of about 15 miles for ariel. That includes sinking new poles, putting up the wire, purchasing right-of-way, etc.
> $900/ft over the distance of about 15 miles for buried. That includes concrete encasement, conduit, purchasing right-of-way, road construction and the engineering. We would also need power vaults every few miles for transformers and equipment to load the line properly.
So, in places where space is a premium and it's nearly impossible to have ariel (think of a downtown area like Chicago, NYC or LA), it makes perfect sense to bury. For other times the cost really is prohibitive. In a small downtown area with a very dense area there is justification to do it. You do gain some reliability, particularly from wind/snow/ice/car/hunter damage, but you lose some reliability if your undergrounds flood/overheat/catch fire. The chances of the undergrounds misbehaving are a lot less, but they still exist.
The theory is that if you pay for broadband, you are paying for your connection to the infrastructure. So that cost is sent to the "data" side of the house. The incremental cost for the TV channels they provide you are probably $1.00 (at least their hard costs going to the broadcasters). Whey they get the bonus is the "number of households" that they can now increase to the advertisers (when they sell ads, they sell them based on how many households they serve). Additionally, they usually get a large amount based on the number of households subscribe to the shopping networks, jewelry networks, etc. On our cable system, we were offered nearly $1.25 per household for HSN.
Add all those up, and you end up with them making a few pennies on you. But ultimately, you become a stickier customer. If you start rely on them for CATV and have all sorts of shows on your DVR, then you won't want to jump to an AT&T, DirecTV, Verizon, etc. Also, if you are a CATV customer, the chances of you upgrading to a better package than not.
This election, and the last two districts I've voted in have used the "connect the line" form. You take the sharpie and complete the arrow that points to the candidate's name. It honestly can't be more obvious and simple than how they do it. When you are done, you walk up to a machine and stick in your ballot. The machine prints out a summary of your vote (as the computer sees it) on receipt paper, and you hand that to the election official to get your "I Voted" sticker. If you feel that the receipt paper didn't match your actual vote you have the choice of re-running the ballot or asking for a new one and having the previous one discarded. The print-out also will tell you if a selection was invalid because you voted for too many in one section or something didn't work right.
You would need to prove that 80% of those discriminated against were of a particular protected class. There is no way you could do this.
There is case law (I don't remember the particular case name, sorry), where a city had to close down a sidewalk in front of a school for a month for road construction. A person in a wheel chair sued the city because they were unable to reach the handicap ramp in the front of the building (but they were still able to get to the zero-barrier entrance on the side of the building). Since the city didn't go out of their way to discriminate against a particular class of people (they inconvenienced everybody), they didn't win the case. Now, had they only shut down the sidewalk immediately in front of the ramp, the results would have been different.
Because they aren't changing the price based on skin color, disability, or any of the other protected classes. They are doing it to non-protected classes of people, which is which swell and dandy -- according to the law.
In Michigan (and all the other states nearby, including Tennessee), you are permitted to drive a vehicle for the purposes of TRANSPORT and/or registration after a recent sale. In Michigan, a title dated within 3 days is all you need to be road legal (including driving without a license plate). Indiana and Ohio are 5 days, and Illinois is 7 days. The purpose of the law is so you can legally transport your newly purchased car without issues.
Of course, our HR and ERP systems took the exact opposite approach. They only support IE6.5 through IE8, or Firefox 14 - 19. Of course, they also force us to have Java 1.6 still installed because while their app runs on Java 1.7 and 1.8, they do some version checking and artificially block it.

The franchise is for CATV service (not broadband), so they are talking about 60 channels of basic cable television.

Nope. The Motorola that made RF equipment (CATV, Radios, etc) was spun off by Google to a company known as Arris (the Arris Group).

It was more than just reinforcing an existing ban. It also prohibited Tesla from doing a showroom or direct advertising in Michigan as well.
