I won't even cross when there are cars in the right-hand lane at a corner unless the driver has fully stopped at the corner and looked right at me (so I know they know I am there). This even applies to when I have the signal light to cross (as opposed to no traffic lights), because I could be stepping out into the street and still have someone speed up to the corner, slow a little, then turn and pass right in front of me.
Plenty of people slow down as they reach the corner, while looking at the phone by their lap, glance up to the left to ensure there's no oncoming traffic, then look back down and make their right-turn without looking for pedestrians. Since I don't drive, I get in a lot of walking, and see this all the time.
Not quite. You still have your save data on your Switch, completely accessible offline. Once you play your games after your online subscription expires, the online copies will be outdated anyways.
And if you don't pay for online long enough, then they aren't holding onto a copy of your save data any longer, so it's not held hostage for money for very long.
I do wonder how long it takes before they delete saves. Are we talking two weeks, or six months?
Would be nice to have an offline backup to SD card option.
The main one for me is tables. In LibreOffice Calc, I can give a range a name, and I can add an AutoFilter, and I can create my own total row, and I'm sure I can put together some kind of nice style for the table of data, with alternating row colors. In Excel, it's a one-click action. From there, I can also easily add a formula to a cell, and have to copy down to all rows. Each row has its own name, making formulas referring to cells within the table easier to read.
There have been other Excel niceties missing from OpenOffice/LibreOffice Calc that have slowly appeared over time, so I hesitate to point out anything else as it may have been resolved already. Tables are simply the one that stick out the most.
I don't use spreadsheets very often at home, but when I do, I typically find pain points in things that are quick and effortless do to in Excel. (I think I'm on Excel...2016? at work.) For my limited home use, I wouldn't call the lack of tables a showstopper, but it would be if I tried using something other than Excel at work.
Still, this doesn't sound anywhere near as bad as some human drivers. I can be near fully across a crosswalk, and will have a line of cars making their right-turn-on-red in front of me while I'm standing five feet away in the middle of the road on the crosswalk, waiting for my crosswalk light to turn into a solid hand.
While that exact situation is rare for me (line of cars ignoring me standing in the crosswalk), I'd say any time I'm out walking for more than an hour, I get at least one person in the right-hand lane doing a right-hand turn when I'm approaching and 3/4 of the way across the street, in a marked crosswalk.
I've learned to look at the driver of every car I pass when walking across the street, and I slow to a stop if the driver in an approaching vehicle isn't paying attention. (Occasionally people take that right-hand turn while looking down the whole time. In other lanes, plenty of people look down while coasting to a stop at a red light.)
If I ever see a car without a driver while I'm crossing, I'll treat it like I would a texting driver, and will wait for it to stop completely before I I pass in front of it, just in case. And then I'll pass by as quickly as possible, hoping if it starts moving again, I'm fast enough to get out of its way.
A 2015 study conducted by New York City found that more than a quarter of city households had no internet connectivity at home, and more than half a million people didn't own their own computer...
In the past few years, I've found more and more people who no longer touch their desktop computer at home. With their smartphone, they have no need for a desktop computer anymore. I'm curious how many of the half a million people mentioned here have smartphones, and how many are old people who are not interested in computers and the Internet.
If I recall correctly, the IT response was along the lines of "that's legitimate; go here to reset your password" providing an appropriate link. But Podesta (or whoever managed his e-mail) followed the link in the phish e-mail rather than the one IT said to use.
The single quote won't help when pasting in multiple cells of unformatted data, however. One should always change the column's data type from something other than "General", such as to "Text", before pasting in unformatted data.
From the trailer video, it looks like they're using sprites taken directly from some of Nintendo's games, alongside their own invented monsters. They could definitely remove The Pokemon Company's properties and leave just their own, and rename the game and terms in the game to create something non-infringing. It likely would take substantial editing/rebranding.
Of course, without the name and familiar characters the begin with, this game likely wouldn't have gotten much attention in the first place.
Problem is, the preview probably showed the text as it was input, with proper encoding. At least, that's what I saw testing the story submit right now in Firefox version 47 on Linux. So it must only be after the submission goes through that the encoding is broke. I know that “this” shows the expected quote marks in the comment preview, but don't know how it will look when submitted.
This is an area where EditorDavid should have corrected the submission, though.
As I understand it, the Facebook app had a feature to synchronize photos you've taken to Facebook. This feature has been removed from the Facebook app, and put into a separate app (which probably has extra features related specifically to managing synced photos, I'm guessing). If you used the synchronization feature in the Facebook app, you need to install the Moments app to continue to use that feature. Anything synced from the Facebook app will be deleted, unless "transferred" to synchronizing from the Moments app. A feature from one app is being branched off to another app. If you want to use that feature, there's a more specific place for it now.
I've never used any of these apps, so I don't know how accurate this is. It's just what I gather from reading some articles on this.
Often times at work, one co-worker e-mails an Office document to another. The recipient opens the document from their e-mail, clicks the Enable button on that yellow notification bar to switch from read-only mode to editing mode, and then views the document without making any changes. Whenever I see this, I point out to the person that they should not click that button unless they're read what the notification says (click to enable editing), and they should only click it if they need (and know they need) what it enables.
Supposedly things are set up at work where macros can't run from the C: drive, which is where Outlook stores files opened from an e-mail, so many it won't be an issue if a document with a malicious macro comes in from the outside. Nonetheless, I'll continue my quest to try to get everyone to be just a little more careful about what they're enabling.
"KDE 5" likely won't see the same issue that KDE 4.0 did. KDE is looking to disband the concept of the "Software Compilation" (all KDE programs released on the same day as part of a big upgrade, ready or not) which caused the KDE 4.0 issue (4.0 libraries were ready, 4.0 applications were not). With "KDE 5", you get the Frameworks 5 libraries, and each KDE program will release updates when they are good and ready, sticking with version 4 libraries in the meantime.
Backwards compatability. Browsers without APNG support will see it as a normal PNG image and load the first frame, similar to viewing an animated GIF in a browser with animations disabled (loads first frame only).
"We all know an e-mail tax is infeasible," Do you not know how email works? The tax would go to your ISP would would pass it to the consumer. 1 penny per 100 email. So not much at all.
I'm aware of how e-mail works down to the protocol level, but you can consider this my looking at the issue at a macro level. You can't work it into the e-mail protocol, for example, because e-mail is used the world over (very macro view). You can try to tax the transactions (e-mails sent), but how do you enforce this? Your suggestion of the ISP doing the taxing would work very well for anyone who uses their ISP's e-mail. But what about free e-mail services? Do they need to now charge the tax? Would free e-mail services become illegal? What if an American citizen uses an Australian-based free e-mail service? What if you and I have e-mail servers running on our home PC's and I send an e-mail to you? Would this be tax evasion?
I do relent that an e-mail tax could be feasible on a small level, but at the same time it would be easy to get around. Of course, most people wouldn't even know that there's such a tax, and it would be small enough and hidden on their bill that they wouldn't care.
" and sales tax for online purchases and for digital purchases are likely unavoidable forever," Good.
I'm one of those who do pay use tax, and I'm against too much taxation, but will admit that a national sales tax for online purchases would make it easier to ensure I'm not overpaying. As it is, I'm tracking whether I buy something from a seller within California or not within California or outside of California but big enough to be forced to collect sales tax...
" but here's hoping talk of taxing data usage doesn't work its way to Washington." hmmm. I don't know. We may be in a situation where a tiny tax could go a very long way.
The problem here is, a long way to what? How likely is the money to be spent on something worthwhile, and how likely to be spent on something that's certainly a waste? (Not that this is any different than many taxes and fees we already see.)
Just my thoughts on it. Feel free to point out any flaws in my thinking!
Although it wasn't available earlier today, I see Amazon lists the game as "Available Now."
There's a disclaimer added:
Important Note on "SimCity"
Many customers are having issues connecting to the "SimCity" servers. EA is actively working to resolve these issues, but at this time we do not know when the issue will be fixed. Please visit https://help.ea.com/en/simcity/simcity for more information.
Sounds like the Wii Sports Resort game where you fly over the island in a plane, firing at balloons (Island Flyover). There's also Pilotwings Resort which I believe was based on this, but I haven't played it to be certain.
[Greenpeace rep Casey Harrel] said in a Kotaku interview, that Nintendo (as Kotaku writes, "barely even attempt to submit, or make available, the information Greenpeace require to make accurate judgements." According to Casey (I think; Kotaku suddenly uses the name Corey): "Nintendo consistently scores the poorest on our Guide to Greener Electronics primarily because they donâ(TM)t submit, nor have any publicly available information, on over half the criteria that we use to assess company performance on the Guide."
In other words, Nintendo's "worst environmental record" is the equivalent of a database null. It's not "the worst", it's "unknown".
For the information Nintendo does put out, Greenpeace's rep does note, "those that they do have answers for, are quite poor."
In a response, Nintendo says, "We would like to assure customers that we take our environmental responsibilities seriously and are rigorous in our commitment to comply with all relevant laws relating to environmental and product safety, including avoiding the use of dangerous substances in our manufacturing processes and ensuring the safe disposal and recycling of materials."
Whether one loves or hates a company, it's a bit difficult to fault their abysmal environmental record just because they didn't fill out a third party company's survey.
Disclaimer: I'm a rational Nintendo fanboy. I love their products, but I can criticize Nintendo and their products as well.
I've had two monitors for over a year now, and KDE's always recognized if I unplug one and plug one back in. It always remembers and restores my configuration. No messing with xorg.conf (I don't even have an xorg.conf file), and no playing RandR, twinview, etc.
I have no doubt that there are issues out there, but multiple monitors works flawlessly with my one video card and two matching monitors on KDE 4.9. But, as I say, I've only had two monitors for about a year or so, meaning I can't speaking for the years before then.
Back-lighting. These should be ideal for reading in bed, but because they also need a lamp turned on I might as well stay with a book. I'd assumed that the screen would illuminate itself somehow for reading after dark.
Check into the Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight. I haven't used it myself (it was announced a week or two after I bought the Simple Touch). Reviews generally praise it. In practice it's probably similar to a back-light, and it can be turned on and off, and I believe I've read the brightness is adjustable.
Page turns - maybe these were older models, but it drove me crazy that every page turn required a blank of the screen followed by a redraw of the new page.
I have an older reader (Boox) which has the screen issue you're referring to. My Simple Touch does a black screen fill every six page turns, but it's quite fast, and may be more tolerable. (The Simple Touch has an eInk Pearl display, a Kindle or other reader with the same display probably rate of screen refresh and speed.)
Lack of touch screen I'm used to swiping my phone screen - the "dead" screen on the e-readers drove me insane - always hunting for the darned page turn button, or cursoring through (not very well designed) menus.
The Simple Touch uses a touch screen (alongside page-turn buttons). I don't know if any Kindles do. (As much as I like Amazon, I went the Nook route due to epub support, so I'm not familiar with the latest Kindle releases.)
All in all it seemed to me that each of the e-readers seemed primitive compared to my Nexus S.
I've never used a smartphone, and I've only handled a tablet long enough to set one up for someone else, so I can't compare the reading experience with them. I do find eInk easier on my eyes. (Computer monitors are better for skimming than reading for me.)
The Simple Touch does have issues where the touch screen doesn't seem to be calibrated well enough, and where tapping on the screen to bring up the dictionary doesn't do anything. It's by no means perfect.
On the vendor tie-in part, I do buy books through Barnes & Noble, but I strip the DRM off before loading them onto the Nook, which makes them essentially non-vendor books as far as the Nook is concerned. However, that's not the same as library loans. I've never looked into library loan support for the Nook, so I can't comment on that one.
... Matthew Harris of the University of Wisconsin noticed that the beak of a mutant chicken embryo he was examining had fallen off. Upon closer examination of the snubbed beak, he found tiny bumps and protuberances along its edge that looked like teeth--alligator teeth to be specific.
The mutant chickens Harris studied bear a recessive trait dubbed talpid. This trait is lethal, meaning that such mutants are never born, but some incubate in eggs as long as 18 days.
... a chicken's underlying ability to grow teeth derives from a common ancestor with alligators--archosaurs--that is more recent than the one linking birds and mammals. Nevertheless, the underlying genetic mechanism that produces teeth in mice, alligators and mutant chickens remains the same.
Exactly how the mutation causes the chickens to sprout teeth is unknown, Fallon notes, but a similar effect can be produced in normal chickens. Harris proved this by engineering a virus to mimic the molecular signals of the mutation and caused normal chickens to briefly develop teeth that were then reabsorbed into the beak.
