Also, bear in mind that these are continuums, not classifications. You'll be *somewhere between* Introversion and Extroversion, *somewhere between* sensing and intuitive, and so on.
The way I had it explained to me when I took a M-B type test from a trained psych was 'Types are tendancies the way handedness is a tendancy; you're right handed, because you're right handed. If you really want to, or need to, you can become left handed.'
If you looked at it on a show room floor, remember that they are terribly out of whack.
Probably the sharpness was turned to full, the colour temp was way up, the contrast was way skewed; all to make it stand out on a well-lit showroom floor.
Once you spend 1000+ on a TV, you owe it to yourself to get a certified ISF (ISF? My dyslexia has suddenly kicked in) tech to come calibrate it for you.
I believe what they're saying is 'although we always knew that bending your fibre would result in less efficient connections, we're now finding out that it will ALSO actually damage the fibre itself over time.'
Much like, kink a CAT-5 enough, and it won't pass traffic at full speed, but it's not going eventually burn the cable.
No, he was charged for having instructions on how to make a bomb side by side with comments that somebody should kill cops.
Instructions on how to build bombs is perfectly safe. Instructions on how to build bombs, with intimations, statements, or requests to use said bombs to hurt people, on the other hand, is illegal.
1995-2002 - National Security Agency
Job duties consisted of CENSORED, CENSORED, CENSORED and CENSORED.
As part of Project CENSORED, I increased CENSORED of the system by CENSORED percent.
Worked with CENSORED, using CENSORED equipment.
So, you worked for the NSA?
Yes, and they have instructions to kill anybody who inquires about it.
Having the RAW file is like having the film. Having the JPEG is like having a print.
Sure, you can take the print, copy it, alter it, change the colouring, blah blah blah, but it all works SO MUCH BETTER when you have the original negatives to work from.
Who needs to? If you're sitting pretty with your F-15 (which I remember playing sims for on my c64!) and I'm developing an F-15 killer, and I succeed, you're fucked.
If, however, just as I say 'A-ha! My F-15 killer is ready!' you say 'Nice. Oh, meet Mr. F-22.' then all is good.
Or, to put it another way, what did the F-15 replace? And what aircraft, at the time, could challenge the F-15's predecessor? What, now, could challenge the F-15's predecessor? Well, who cares, as the States aren't using the F-15's predecessor; they're using the F-15.
In other words, stagnation is death. That which does not grow, dies.
Being told "Hi, I need your help" and being given the choices of "A: Be Good, B: Be Neutral, C: Be Evil," isn't really the pinacle of roleplaying.
Ah, KOTOR. I love the game, but I'm noticing, having beat it as a fully Light Jedi, and now playing it as a Dark, that picking c) evil simply has Carth chiding you, then going back to the central dialog, where as picking a) good has Carth congradulate you, then go back to the central dialog.
It's the difference between *hearing* a story, and *telling* a story.
With Japanese style RPGs, you're often listening to a story being told; no matter what you do, the basic story is always the same. Sub-plots and side-quests give it some variety, but when you get right down to it, you're watching a play.
Western style RPGs try to have you *telling* the story; you choose, with varying degrees of freedom, how the story will turn out. You're not watching a play, you're writing one.
1) As somebody points out, you supply config file locations when you run./configure. Different locations does NOT mean, in any way, shape, or form, that you've 'modified the source.'
2) Exactly; he hasn't been told 'no' yet. Nobody is in violation of anything. Or do you expect the first level techs, of the 'is it plugged in? Is it turned on? Is the power out in your building?' variety, to have source tarballs kicking around?
Nonsense. They have to give it to you, in a standard format.
If this is C code, but uses a propriatary compiler, then they need only give you the C code. You can take that C code and re-write it to be compilable with a bog-standard gcc if you'd like.
When the build source was released, but would only compile under borland c compiler 4 or whatever, nobody shouted and screamed that a copy of said compiler should be included. Somebody had it re-written within a day, as I recall.
*shrug* Sure, there's probably a lot of people who use stuff like that. Enough that would actually buy Office for Linux? Enough to put up with the aggrivation of dealing with the hostile Linux users?
Meanwhile, I'm still working on my telemarketer zapper device which will send a 140 db burst of noise up the line... And now it looks like the no-call lists will steal all my potential market:-(
One of those little aerosol-can looking airhorns does the trick nicely.
Why would Microsoft bother to try to sell product to a group of users who a) wage holy war on them and b) have trouble differentiating between 'here's the source' and 'have all my hard work for free?'
Remember that Microsoft has a bank account that has enough money to run the company for two years, solid, with *no* income. Not no profit, no *income.*
Microsoft should port their apps to some sort of VM instruction set and make a VM for each operating system out there. We all know windows would run it faster, I really don't care, I need reliablity. Give me both and Redmond will get my cash, and my client's cash as well.
Yeah! Maybe they could call it, oh, I don't know, the.Net inititive! Oooh, and they could call the VM, oh, CLR, or Common Language Runtime! Yeah!
What I don't understand about Microsoft is why they feel they have to bet the entire farm every time try to innovate, and then spend years and billions catching up when their predictions fail. Wouldn't it make far more sense for them to calmly and quitely develop several technologies in tandem to cover various future possibilities, and then find out over time which ones are the ones worth throwing more money into?
Self fufilling prophecy.
Also, it keeps people interested. Bill really doesn't like the company resting on it's laurels; he doesn't want them to think 'well, it's not important if this new technology works, as we can always fall back on X.'

Basically, it's because it's designed from the ground up to be a messaging device, rather than a phone with messaging bolted on.

Actually, I could, but I doubt you have security clearance required.
Can you cite references that prove that nobody is trying?
Thanks.

I can't think of anybody who'd want to use MS office, but use a Linux desktop OS. They'd just use WinXP.

Corel tried that, look where it got them.
Remember that Microsoft has a bank account that has enough money to run the company for two years, solid, with *no* income. Not no profit, no *income.*
Sure, but like so many other MS failures, it led to, or contributed in a large way to, shining successes; DirectX in this case.
Or is it CLI, for Common Language Infrastructure?
Oh well, it'll change in a few years anyway. OLE is not ActiveX is not COM and all that.
Yeah! Maybe they could call it, oh, I don't know, the .Net inititive! Oooh, and they could call the VM, oh, CLR, or Common Language Runtime! Yeah!
