Is that a real explanation or an analogy? I've never heard it put that way, and now that I think about it (with my limited knowledge) it's a pretty freaking awesome way to describe it. And convenient, unless you work in CMYK.
When I filled it out, they required an e-mail address for confirmation. It is supposed to be in order to confirm your identity when verifying registration or something. But when I requested confirmation for my phone number, I put in a different address, and it sent confirmation to the new address. No comparison, no BCC, no dupe - no complaints.
I e-mailed to ask them why they did this, since the e-mail address is barely a unique identifier. they asked me for my phone number so we could discuss. I said if you already have my e-mail address, you should be able to find my phone number. Otherwise asking for it is pretty useless and serves no real purpose. They said if I didn't give them my phone number to simply have a good day.
Just to piss them off, I didn't. I walked around in a huff for most of the evening.
That's just silly. Your view of the intartubes is documents and information. What if someone else's view is a quick source of free, silly games? Minesweeper for the internet generation.
Some people watch the news on TV, some watch cartoons. Some watch both.
I work with computers all day, been programming for 20 years. I have a spam e-mail, a real e-mail, and wtf is facebook and myspace? I'm not technophobe, I just choose not to play. Unfortunately I also try to avoid the artificially high prices of alcohol in social settings, so I guess this will be the extent of our contact. Nice chatting with you.
The reason there is no rioting in the streets is: 1) We mostly have decent jobs 2) Even if we don't, we have stuff we can do, like watch tv 3) When the economy is good, we feel unaffected, when it's bad we're just trying to get by 4) This won't affect our internet, tv, choice of cars, schools for the kids, mortgage or rent, and especially not our back yards. 5) the price of high-fructose-laden foods
It looks like more than one reason but it really isn't. Sadly, life is too good right now to be worried about things like our civil rights being eroded.
They give a bunch of money, and deduct it as a charitable contribution. To an organization that they pretty much control, sharing it with Warren Buffet, yes that one. They can then make investments and directions of their charitable money towards business ventures that spread Microsoft software including libraries and education - which expose children to Windows as the only OS they know. Instead of spending personal capital to extend their business an personal interests, they "give it away" to a foundation that they control, and save on taxes. I'm sure there are a huge number of contributions that would not qualify as tax-exempt except that they are routed through this loophole.
Maximizing ROI for the charity is a goal - and as stated elsewhere they really aren't concerned about where the money is invested. Wikipedia says after they got called out on that, they scheduled a review - then cancelled it and said ROI is the way to go.
Not that donating is bad - but this seems to be run in the trademark microsoft evil style.
You could live in US or one of its territories, and therefore have a more positive understanding of America-centric articles, if you answer the following two questions correctly: Where are you from? Do you have oil?
It's called Optionally Observable Hyper Redundancy. You don't know if you've seen it before or not, until you look in the box. The box itself, however, gives you a sickly form of déjà-vu.
If I am in my own home, using my own internet access, then I could have a reasonable expectation of privacy - I would not expect a typical person to have access to a router or pipe between me and the server, or even a wireless scanner if I were on a router without WEP.
Youtube is a publically accessible website, same that a phone booth is. You would not expect that Viacom could stand outside that phone booth, listening in to see if you quoted too many lines from their latest movie or song or whatever it is they do.
Uploading a video to share it is quite different from being a user who watches that video, some South Park or Colbert Report, something on whatever medical issue you are currently having, and "how to overcome shyness" or "increase p3n15 size" videos. Just because I watched something that my friend sent me, now Google has to send my personal information to Viacom "just in case" there was a bit of copyright in there.
There should be no discussion of what content producers are putting up there - it has nothing to do with the judge's decision. The decision should be about whether your private transaction with a company is reasonably expected to be shared or overseen by third parties. In the case of law enforcement, I'm sure those logs are fair game. But this is a private third party getting data that most people 1) don't even know exists 2) would not expect a third party to have 3) provided they even understood what this was all about.
What about the in-quotes "identity theft" victims? Like a friend of mine. She had a hold placed on her account and was turned down for a car loan because someone had asked for credit in her name, with her SSN and address and other info. So the identity monopoly ( or is it really 3 separate companies?) decided to block all access without telling her.
All to put the story back in order, she got denied and inquired as to why, and that was the reason the lender gave. Took her 2 years to straighten out. Here's the kicker - the identity thief was identified, rather easily actually ad it was actually herself. When applying for something or other else, someone changed her newly re-maidened name back to her previous married name on the application, to "correct" a mistake. It went through fine at the time, but everything thereafter sent up warning flags.
I think that shows more problems with identity systems than actual theft does, in the same way that a fever shows more problems than an actual infection does.
I actually filled it out, all except for the phone part because although I live 200 yards away, I had no phone at the time. They said we can't rent to you without a phone. I said fine and reached for my application. they said uh, we can't let you have that. I thought about asking why, thought better of it, and said "bullshit" loudly, grabbed it, ripped it up, and stuck it in my pocket for later disposal.
The next day I discovered this thing called eDonkey and looked for an open source version of it. Good jorb rental doofus.
I've found that people who think they are on the way to a sale give out good bits of information. You could go to 10 different insurance companies and ask the same question, and get 10 different answers. But the additional info they use to support their answer will be fairly valuable regardless of whether they believe you or not - that's what I'm working on right now. Lots of advice all over the map, but good fundamental data that I can use to figure out my own solution.
If the person isn't taking notes and actually passing things on, then yes it will be a waste. But it could be beneficial to accept all input if you're willing to weed out the junk.
After the methane departs into the air, and the metals leak into the groundwater, landfills won't have anything of value left - it will all be in the fish, the water tables, and the brains of our autistic/handicapped children. The key to the future will be keeping the corpses away from the soylent green manufacturer long enough to recycle the rare elements.
Almost, but not universally. It is possible that even the notes have had editorial work done - you can probably copy the notes, and maybe the articulation. But a lot of scores you see have been modernized so that it is readable now according to what the composer originally wanted. Or have had notes corrected, or other markings - ties, or a note changed to its enharmonic equivalent. All of those changes are all copyrighted. So it is best to find an out-of-copyright edition, then you are in the clear.
The publisher has a valid copyright claim and the notice is correct.
Where did you find out about this? In other words, how does everyone find this stuff?
I found this stupid site - it seems like it's unmaintained now. I had a number of suggestions but my replies bounced. Don't start identifying tunes though, you'll find reasons to hate it soon enough. My point is the sites I found suck.
Yes. And turn images off with a keystroke, like Opera does "G". I hate loading the entire text of a page, plus the images, only to have it sit idle and invisible while it loads some 1 pixel img bug from an advertiser's server.
There's a plugin for that, but I haven't convinced myself that a plugin for everything is the way to go. You have to coordinate upgrades, and I hate getting "noscript updated yesterdya and you're 6 versions behind" notices followed by "you upgraded but you still don't even have the latest version".
Also, especially since firefox already has a built in source browser (unnecessary IMO) - I would like another option between "Save to disk" and "Open with..." that is more like "This should be just text so display it in a browser window". Things like downloading a web site's.js file - the options are to save it, so I have to find a folder, then open my text editor and browse to the folder. Or "Open" by default will try to execute it. Or "Open With" and find my text editor. No - even if it has no text MIME type, I want to see it in the bloody browser window. Or even if the mime type is wrong, I still want to be able to say "Just open it, don't interpret it".
You silly git! Correct pronounciation has different answers.
1) 'Linus' can be pronounced differently (and therefore the related 'Linux') depending on the native language of the speaker, and Linus recognizes that and gives a recorded sample of two different ways here http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/linus/ 2) Linus says it this way, but since he's Swedish it's not just a "short I or long I" question - it sounds to me like a short I blended with a bit of a long E. http://www.paul.sladen.org/pronunciation/
I don't think anyone has ever said "this is how you pronounce it". We try to do it like the guy who wrote it does, but if you're not a native Swede you're probably going to only get close. I think it's clear that Linus doesn't really care. If I were you I wouldn't correct them, and if the conversation came up, tell them to listen to the MP3 here Linus pronounces it.
Without him, I am not sure that personal technology would have taken off, and it would only be at work that I could do things like waste time on the internet and argue with strangers.

His name was Ben. And BTW I like watching Matlock too, but I don't claim to have worked with him.
It would probably be Microsoft Doubleplus!
