Google only lets manufacturers distribute certain closed source apps (like Market) if they meet certain conditions.
I tried to google for this... sigh... I tried to search for this, but found nothing. Do you have pointers to more information regarding these conditions?
In a sane country (or with some sane workers) the worker's union would occupy the offices with the CEO in it. Disconnect water, power, connectivity. And wait while he runs out of toilet-paper. "Do you want to talk about the unpayed wages yet? No? Ok. Here's another McBacon with cheese."
And at the same time getting the court to force the company to bankruptcy and freeze all assets, in order to pay for those wages.
Still, a lot of harm could have been prevented by the employees simply finding the employer in breach of the employment contract when he didn't pay up that first month.
Why do people always bring this up? And it's marked insightful, like it's some ingenious find in a pool of mud. While PAE technically gives you the ability to use more than 4GB of address space on 32-bit x86, it's irrelevant to the average user and also to nearly every power user.
Enabling PAE and also actually making real use of it will require a application that is built for it and tested for it.
If we consider the windows software 'ecosystem', and exclude video-editing software and server software: How many applications will actually work with PAE? My guess the answer will be nearly nil.
And still, people bring up PAE as some sort of solution for the ordinary computer user. Non-techies have come up to me and _told_ me there was a way for a application to use more than 4GB of ram in 32-bit windows. And they where grasping at straws, thinking "If only I could get that to work, stupid techie telling me I'd best not do that and just upgrade to 64-bit instead... Wait, my brother's niece's kid is pretty handy with computers, maybe I'll ask him instead".
No way to use a prepared statement for an "IN" clause? What? Sure there is. Dynamically though.
Just generate the prepared statements on demand depending on the length of the in clause.
For extra credit: only generate "in" clauses in multiples of 10; cache the prepared statements that are generated; error out at a nonsensically large amount of elements in the "in" clause.
Afaik, a SSN is treated as a unique, person-identifying number. While in fact, it is a non-personal temporary id that may be re-assigned when you stop using it (either through death, or other means).
Additionally, sometimes a SSN is treated as a secret that confirms your identity. Other times, it is a required bit of data on a webform for ordering viagra. (hyperbole, true, but can you blame me?)
It's quite irrational that Americans have gone along in furnishing their SSN's for this multitude of purposes.
The only time I furnish my medical identity (via chip-card) is when I visit the pharmacy; so that I can get the discount on prescribed medicines. (I live in a country with a more socialist health care infrastructure.)
Yup, it's unduly strict. I had a French class teacher like you. Some errors mandated an automatic zero.
After 15 years I still have bile in my mouth when I think about learning French. (Note that I'm relatively good at it now, but no thanks to professional teachers.)
Beyond the effect you had on the papers your students turned in, you might want to ask yourself how you affected the long-term views of your students on grammar and spelling.
You need to be honest. IT contractors need the repeat business from their big clients, and that means they need trust. We want that client to come back for a bigger project, for more on-hand staff, for more hardware, for more support contracts.
OTOH, if you see a valid sales opportunity (like something the client needs or can use without him even realizing it), you need to bring in your organization's salespeople. This means knowing your organization's product/services portfolio; otherwise you can't ever recognize those opportunities (and won't ever get the bonuses attached to generating new business)
As for your last comment; that telling the client they don't really need something means you're saying the sales guy is incompetent: that isn't correct. You're the engineer, he is the sales guy. Most clients already understand this, which is _why_ they are also asking you this question, instead of just listening to the sales guy.
Lastly, I hope you're never trying to disassociate yourself from your organization like "Well, salesperson Y did say you needed that, but _personally_ I think you should...". Don't do that. You need to speak for your organization, in your function of IT professional. Otherwise, you _would_ be stabbing your organization in the back.
Navigating to "Pricing and Coverage" redirects to the page "Free navigation on your Nokia. For free. Forever." They obviously intend to give navigation for free to any Nokia phones capable of running the software.
And, going through Nokia's announcement they state that more devices will get free navigation in the coming weeks. Presumably they are testing & validating the software on the older phones.
Proving that you are who you say you are, is hard. Your id card? That could be a fake. The phone number on the website? The website could be a fake. The phonecall to that business? Kevin Mitnick could have entered that building an hour ago and is just waiting to confirm to you that 'yes sir, those are our salespeople'.
That is sad... a working solution should not take more than 5 - 15 minutes to implement. (on your own machine with fully working dev environment, and not including testing)
*Grabs development environment, ready, steady, go* Soooo, okay, 17 minutes. (I basically re-implemented strings since I didn't know the file layout.)
As an aside, of those solutions that don't work at all; why is that? Do they try to deliver a full Swing app? Are they stumbling over how to recognize separate words in the file? What happens here?
Everyone? No, not everyone. There are people that can and like to read while listening to music, or zen waterfalls,... And then there are that don't.
With audio playback you can also have a illustrated children's book with sound effects and a narrator.
That said, I would be content with a eInk display that feels like piece of paper, looks like a piece of paper and does nothing besides showing words on pages.
But if companies want to also offer me a Andromeda style plastic paper interface, let them.
"is user crap still sprinkled around in c:\program files\blah ?" Actually, I can recall guidelines from the NT4/Win95 era blasting/recommending against saving user defined thingies in c:\program files\...
And didn't Win95 have the possibility of multiple user profiles? Ah, such a long time ago.
From the Kirby website: "Sentria® home care systems are sold in over 70 countries around the world by independent Kirby Distributors. These professional business men and women are happy to schedule a personal demonstration for you to view our product, assist you with the maintenance of your current Kirby system, and provide you with our complete line of home care products."
Somebody needs to come to my home for my very own personal demonstration... for a vacuum cleaner? Sounds scammy. A way to bypass reviews. Prevent people from comparing it with competing products during any demonstration. A way for salespeople, to talk and talk and lie and lie and talk some more while doing anything to get a sale.
Also, I like how they want you to schedule an appointment, as an appointment is likely to bypass local consumer protection laws vs door-to-door salesmen.
NAT is not part of your security perimeter. Any attempt to treat it like it is a part of the security perimeter puts you in the wrong mindset and will result in failure. BTW, your analogy fails. So there.
Ah. I RTFA'd. The good sergeant sued the police department, not the other way around like I thought. Allow me to repack my righteous indignation for future use.
Seems clear to me that the SWAT team expected the pagers to used both for business reasons and for private reasons. Otherwise they should have reimbursed all use of the pager, regardless of amount of characters used, *AND* have had a policy of "no private use allowed".
The percentage of private vs work messages doesn't matter; because even an average of 1 work message a month could completely justify the cost of having the pager.
In any case, the sexual nature of the content shouldn't be relevant. It's private use, doesn't matter if you're sending/recieving "walk the dog" messages vs "fuck me like a dog" messages.

Concurred. All 3 of my MyBooks died within 3 months of unwrapping.

I don't watch my consumed bandwith meter. There's no point; the first few months that I did watch it I always had between 200 and 150 GB available.
The only people who watch the meter are those who think they may go over the max amount.
Everyone? No, not everyone. There are people that can and like to read while listening to music, or zen waterfalls, ... And then there are that don't.

Not a page refresh issue -> it's a interface issue.

Then, they will ask for government bailouts to help in their unforeseeable crisis.
