Seems to work just fine for Activision. They've been using it as the base source for the Call of Duty games up to and including Modern Warfare 3/4 and all the various spin-offs. It's highly modified, but at the end of the day Q3A continues to be the gold standard in FPS.
It's 2013, they should have finished scanning all of their documents in by 2002, 2005 at the very latest. What on earth are they printing over there? I work in a regulated industry and we shred everything we print. On a bad week I might print all of 10 pages.
Papers going to benefits recipients shouldn't receive many, if any documents with their personal information on them - that data goes in the opposite direction, which should be immediately process, or scanned for later processing.
Rabbits reach sexual maturity in 4 months. Gestation is one month That means you can see the results of two, almost three generations of genetic manipulation in a year's study.
Cows, on the other hand take 10 months for gestation + age of safe breeding. If you're going to do genetic research, choosing the one that "multiplies like rabbits" is generally the way to go in a laboratory setting.
Having watched a close friend spiral downwards and end up in a sober living home after a trip through the state mental hospital + inpatient rehab, the 12 step program is a system that is flexible and allows you to modify (although not fix, for a lot of people) some deep rooted behavioral problems so that when they go off the rails, it's a one or two day bender, not a two week "I haven't showered in 9 days and are these even my pants? where am i hey can i have some money i lost my wallet letsgogetsomebeermanthatsoundsgreat" binge that only stops because their liver has shut down and they end up detoxing in the hospital.
I'm glad for you it's not a big problem and you had something more pressing to get you off of alcohol, but for a lot of people a day job is a great excuse to drink. Go hang out at an AA or NA meeting center some time, listen to their stories about how alcohol has been a lifelong struggle. For a lot of those people, the 12 steps is the only thing they have going for them, and they're grateful for what they have. It's a very well designed program for a certain subsection of people, and if you aren't one of them, you shouldn't knock it, because it doesn't apply to you.
He's listed on the Masthead as a founding member. I don't know what better credentials are needed to call it "his site". Should I have said "his commercial site" and then in subtext mentioned "his personal blog"?
Cory's site has 7 tracking services that track you every time you logon to his site, and correlate with a multitude of sites that also track everywhere you go online. I would think if you're going to promote digital privacy, the first thing you would do is remove the four google tracking systems installed on your website.
Only if the CEO isn't one of the founding members. Once you start seeing CEO turnover measured in years, not decades do you have to worry about that sort of thing. Ballmer has a personal stake in it. I doubt you will see the CEO of Yahoo or Nokia throwing a chair across a room over bad quarterly numbers or losing top talent to a competitor.
Or, why buy a second e-ink reader when the first one works just fine? My e-ink tablet goes about a month on a charge and since it's effectively a static image viewer. My android devices get slower or worse battery life as time goes by and I need to replace it every 2-3 years to keep up with the pace of technology.
My e-ink tablet on the other hand, will continue displaying books until the battery gives out in 4-5 years.
Eventually these machines will have drive, powersupply or cpu fan failures and they'll be forced to upgrade...probably to an android tablet for about half the price of a new PC (or less). I don't think providing extended-extended support for a customer base who is migrating away from microsoft products is going to make microsoft very much money in the long term.
Clarification needed. Why would Carmack's wholly owned company get funding due to successes at an unrelated company selling unrelated products he is an employee (and perhaps partner) at?
As a gun owner of ten years with two no-name pistols, I've probably but $30 worth of ammo through one, and perhaps 200 rounds ($40?) through my.22 lr target pistol.
There's a huge difference between hobbyists who buy name brand guns and those who own them as utility tools.
My friend got her CCL, she owns a pink pistol but she's put perhaps 20 rounds through it so she wouldn't shoot herself in the foot with it if she ever had to use it. In my mind she's the average user. The people who put ammo and survival equipment as a line item in their monthly budget might buy the lion's share of weapons, but they're in the minority of users.
If you could print a reusable receiver, and then swap out the barrel after you prove out the device, that would be acceptable for a very large market. Collectors will never touch them, obviously, but very few people need a super accurate, durable gun designed to last generations.
The only thing this map does well is show the lines crossing the east river. If anything, it's counter-intuitive because it looks like many lines connect, when in fact they don't. A tourist might get on the Q line in Brighton Beach and expect to transfer to the S line to get to the G line. Or take the Green G line to Harold Square. Not going to happen.
Forcing the lines to be on parallel circular lines causes you to make assumptions about continuous service between two points on that line, when there's not.
Too many sacrifies made to provide useful information at a glance to the casual user. This sort of setup might work in a city that looks like a dartboard, like Houston or Dallas. It falls apart with a dense coastal city however.
Most people only fire their gun about 100 times - ammo is expensive, and people have better things to do with their time. 30 shots per rifle, especially if you can print it at home, is an acceptable amount. You don't buy a $4 disposable camera and expect to win a photography contest.
Agreed, this is obnoxious, they're averaging 1-2 a day now, and if you call them out on it your post gets mysteriously down-modded. I don't even think this is the haswell model.
Uh, this would be interesting if they'd linked to an article on the sharing economy, instead we were linked to a single page advertisement in the form of a NYTimes article.
Anyone care to link to a real article with a little more breadth?
What? A crayon drawing of a dinosaur isn't enough for you? What, did you actually expect a picture of the map in the article they linked to you? Who do you think the editorial staff around here is? Jeeze.
I work 40 hrs a week, get to work flex hours if I have to deviate from my regular schedule, work from home on Wednesdays, work in an air conditioned office kept between 74 and 76 degrees year-round, and the heaviest thing I've had to lift* in 5 years was a pot of coffee. My biggest occupational hazard is heart disease from lack of activity. I have enough business knowledge that it would take two years to train someone with a college degree for my job.
Contrast that with a dock worker or auto manufacturing job where OSHA compliance is something to worry about, on the job injuries, back and foot injuries, fire hazards etc etc. The most training many of these people get is how to drive a fork lift and can be replaced with a temp worker in a day or two. Unions do a great job of protecting mostly unskilled workers.
Most of those are simple resolution changes. Android developers have had to deal with this since day one, iPhone developers were coddled in comparison as their aspect ratio was locked for something like five years.

Something is fundamentally broken over there.

Switching from a $450 device that's anchored to your desk to a $70 tablet sure makes the transition a whole lot easier though.

Most/many big box stores have a 14/30 day return policy, if you're feeling exceptionally rude.

People smart enough to be real journalists go in to a field that pays more than journalism. Most of the time.

How different is this from existing Peltiers? Peltiers were all the rage back in the Celeron 300A days, but the amperage output is minimal at best.

I suspect Win 8 Enterprise Edition will have an option to turn this off, the same way that RDC Server is enabled in Pro and disabled in Home.
