I don't know if GP's post is true, but allowing something is different from requiring something, and GP's post says that string variable names were required* to end in $.
*Ok ok, GP actually said that string variable names always ended in $. But if that isn't the same as saying it was required, then I don't know what is.
That's fine if it's just one person from the entire eligible-to-vote population that abstains from voting. But what if you count everyone who did not vote because "it won't matter"?
Reminds me of a Modern Marvels episode. They were talking about the trigger device on nuclear warheads I think, and how you have to input a precise code in order to arm the device, or else it locks forever.
Maybe it'll be different the second time around, and he'll actually deliver on the "change" promise, now that he doesn't have to worry about re-election.
I hear people say such things often, but I just don't see it. By spending the first term making sure you are electable for a 2nd term, you only have a chance at having 4 years to deliver on your promises. After all, you might not get re-elected.
But if you don't worry about that, and begin working on your promises from day one, you have a guaranteed 4 years to deliver on them, plus you still have a chance at an additional 4 years.
"What do you mean I won't get my package tomorrow? I paid for Next Day! You what?? You couldn't fit the package on the truck because someone ordered something using Super Saver Shipping???"
Something tells me they'd like to avoid such a scenario.
what I am saying is that if you dont pay for Prime they will ship your stuff when they feel like it.
Alternative explanation. Since Amazon can only ship a finite number of packages per day, they need to prioritize which ones go out on any given day. That means starting with the ones where the customer requested Next Day, then the ones that requested Two Day, then you start on the Standard shipping, and finally the Super Saver Shipping packages. If you have proof that they were deliberately sitting on your package, and were not simply working on other packages that had to get out sooner, then please, share.
in fact if you pay for uber expensive next day air, a prime package ships BEFORE your next day air does.
As long as the person who paid for Next Day still gets their package the next day, why does this matter? Do you have proof that people are paying for Next Day, but are instead getting their packages two days later because a Prime package bumped it out? It certainly wouldn't be the first time something like this happened. Didn't Newegg get called out for charging people for UPS 3-day shipping, but instead they shipped it via the cheaper UPS Ground because Ground got to most people in 3 days anyway? So I would have no problem believing Amazon can do wrong. But the only proof we have so far is your word.
Interesting.. where you have two columns (1 with "iPad Mini" text and the two movie links below it, and 1 with the hand holding an iPad mini), on a 1050x1680 screen, it's just one column. iPad mini text, the giant hand image, and then the two movie links. And it's not a width thing. If I stretch the window across all my monitors such that it is about 4000 pixels wide, it still displays it in one column for me once the window grows beyond a certain height.
And just to add, I do see the statement without scrolling (at least when my browser is in fullscreen mode).
Unless I misunderstand the typical roll of the physician in a physician-assisted suicide, or unless your rope vendor will tie a noose for you and offer suggestions as to the best way to hang oneself, I think the physician assists at least a little more than the rope vendor does.
So if a sniper keeps you in his sights constantly from a distance that is fine, but if he turns on the red dot laser sight and invades your personal space it isn't?
Depends if the person in the sight can feel the red dot on them. Of course feelings may vary for a variety of other reasons with that example.
Surveillance is surveillance
The point I was making is that it isn't the video surveillance necessarily that people have a problem with, it's with the proximity of the physical device to their face. They aren't angry with the guy for video-taping them, they are angry with him for being up in their face.
That's the part that kind of got me about TFS. Requiring the person to make both written and verbal requests, and to ingest it themselves (which I am presuming to mean they cannot ask someone else to put it in their mouth), I wonder what percentage of people that would restrict this from.
Obviously I do not speak from personal experience, but nitrogen asphyxiation is supposed to be nice and painless. So just need to figure out where to acquire a tank of nitrogen and a mask.
You're acting like it's ok that your snail mail censors reseal the envelops after they read all your mail
Sounded to me more like AC was under the assumption that surveillance cameras do not generally record audio at a distance. If they do, then I am sure that AC would be against that.
Cameras can have extremely high resolutions, digital zoom levels, and parabolic microphones. So they can indeed film you right in your face, and record a quiet conversation, remotely.
1) It's not about the resulting image, it's about the physical device invading ones personal space. You might not think the distinction matters, but I'm sure for most people, it matters greatly.
2) With the right camera, you can also see heat patterns through walls. But just because someone is ok with one type of recording done at a distance (recording images in the visible spectrum), doesn't mean they are ok with all types of recording done as a distance.
What if the newspaper caves in to their demands and it turns out the poster ISN'T who they think it is ?
Exactly what I was thinking. Unfortunately, I have no answer. Depending on what evidence the court has, I could see it being either justified or not justified. And I have no idea what evidence the court has.
Yes, but the point I believe everyone else is trying to make is that, some where along the line, a user of a modded xbox explicitly enabled the mode. It isn't some bit of code that goes "oh, I'm running on a modded xbox, time to activate!"
Also, if a modded xbox user can enable the mode, I would imagine they can also disable the mode. Unmodded xbox users are simply stuck with it. So in that regard, they are the vulnerable group.
Well, I know that I at least would like a user-replaceable battery in order to keep the device going once the battery starts holding a charge like a sieve holds water.
But as far as on-the-go replacing goes, it's not as simple as simply making the battery user-replaceable. My phone, my DS, my PSP, my camera, all have user-replaceable batteries. But only the camera is it actually convenient to carry and replace on-the-go. The other 3 all use batteries specifically designed to work with that device and that device alone. And I am not even aware of devices to charge those batteries outside of the devices that were designed to use them.
If it was more convenient to do so, I likely would carry extra batteries for those devices. But as it is, I simply deal with the occasional lack of power.
At least with something at the Android or MS store I can say "Well, this is Jimmy's crappy $0.99 game that wants access to my contact list and the ability to SMS. Jimmy can piss off." With Ubuntu I say "Well, Ubuntu wouldn't have it in its repository if I couldn't trust it, I guess?"
Fail troll is fail. I mean, how, exactly, did you come to the conclusion that "Jimmy's crappy $0.99 game" wants access to your contact list and the ability to SMS, why can you not use the exact same method for determining if something in the Ubuntu repository wants to do something similar, and why is the following statement not a much more accurate statement?
At least with something in the Ubuntu repository I can say "Well, this is Jimmy's crappy game that wants to email my every keystroke to some nigerian prince. Jimmy can piss off." With the Android or MS store I say "Well, Google/MS wouldn't have it in its store if I couldn't trust it, I guess?"
I'm curious what you mean by "gameplay" here, because I'm having a hard time calling the gameplay "worse". Sure, GBA games may not be as "advanced" (for lack of a better word) as a DS game, but the FF re-releases, the Mario re-releases, Kirby, Zelda, Metroid, Megaman EXE, Megaman Zero, Harvest Moon, I can't really say that using my DS has in any way made those games less playable.
But those are just a small subset of available games, and this is just my personal experience, so perhaps yours has been different and/or with different games.
Not sure if this is what you meant, but I saw it as launching 1 ton will cost the same whether it is a 1 ton GPS satellite or a 1 ton refueling satellite. But that ignores several other factors, such as the cost to make each satellite, and also how many satellites the refueling satellite can top off. If it can top off at least 2, well you just saved yourself a launch.
To increase profit, at least 1 of 3 things must be done.
1) Increase the number of people you are accusing per day.
2) Decrease the length of time between repeat accusations.
3) Increase the fee to get rid of this pesky little smear.
They may not have to increase the fee, but I am skeptical that only sticking to the 1st and/or 2nd options would satiate their greed.
You've certainly helped reach and service the greatest number of blind smart phone users... in... as my daughter would say... bizarro world!!!
TFA says that the iPhone is the number 1 phone used by blind people. It wouldn't be the first time, but are you saying that TFA is lying? Or that, when NCAM first began to work on accessibility for the iPhone, that there was another phone that they should have instead been working on?

Yeah, sure - here's a tip. Get your own resume in order if you don't hire his bud.
FTFY. I don't know GP's boss, so there's a chance it doesn't actually apply. But the sentiment you were expressing goes beyond religious beliefs.

GBA's gameplay is much worse than that of the DS.

Have you seen those tiny arms? T Rex will never be able to shoot straight.

Sounds more like they found or are looking into a way to produce even more ethanol from the by-product of an existing ethanol-producing process.
