We can discount anyone that tried it while paired with a president-for-life, nationalizing foreign businesses, doing your best to destroy anyone with an IQ over 95, and getting embargoes sprayed all over yourself. Those things tend to muck up your economy independent of your tax structure.
GDI+ is good enough for low frame rates and trivial to use if you have any C# experience. If these are static controls that need to be painted and then updated on user input, it's more than sufficient.
Good advice for capable people. For the 90% that are barely sentient drones that thank God when nobody notices that they just shit out some code that sort of works if you don't poke at it, those processes are critical. They take people that should be dunking french fries in oil and bring them to the "good enough for a Chevy" programming level required for customers that made you agree to do the work at 30% of what it should actually cost to do it right.
Sales were down 67%. How much further down would they be if everyone knew for a fact that there would be no consequences to taking all the music they want for free? I would guess it's a much bigger number. The lawsuits make getting the free stuff a gamble. They're a cost of doing business, not a profit center.
The reasoning for the money-from-nothing argument is this:
Bank opens. Alice deposits $1000. Bank loans Bob $250 of Alice's money. Alice still has $1000, Bob now has $250. As long as Alice never withdraws more than $750, the $250 the bank just created on paper still exists. When she tries to withdraw $751, the universe explodes. Luckily it's not just Alice, it's 10,000 Alices, and it's unlikely that they will all withdraw $751 at the same time, so the universe is safe. Sort of.
Security's not my area, so maybe this question is nonsense, but why does each wireless router not have its own unique public/private key pair installed at the factory (that could later be changed by the owner) so that the session key could be generated by the client, sent to the server encrypted by the public key, and now only the router can decrypt the session key?
I think its repugnant that a customer needs to make a public sqwak in order to get good service
If you call my company and say you're not happy with our work, we come back out and make it right. If you never call us we never find out anything was wrong and you just bitch to your friends, we can't do that. If we can find out you're upset we can call you and say, "Hey, we heard you're not thrilled. We're sorry about that. Let us come fix it." It would be great if we were a big enough company for it to be worth the cost.
I don't understand why worrying is what this makes people do. There's nothing stopping someone from writing an app that appears useful, waits until June 2nd, 2011, then does the most malicious thing the phone's sandbox will allow it to do. At that point, if the phone becomes unusable for 20,000 people, or if it becomes a plague spreader, or if it starts making calls to Pakistani phone sex lines while you're asleep, but on the outside it still appears to be a friendly purple gorilla so people don't delete it themselves, someone has the power to kill it. Good.
Yes, priority should be on making sure the app can't do anything you don't want it to do, and I'm sure that effort is being made, but things will be missed.
They can stop you from running things they don't like, sure, but it's not like this is a purely evil tool. If I were designing it, I'd put it in, too.
Looking at a couple of summaries, it looks like there would be both constitutional issues and an enormous financial burden to meet the 3% of requirements that we don't already meet. There seems to be no real benefit to anyone (except possibly 17-year-olds who want to boil their parents in acid and spend life in prison instead of dying pretty quickly) and extra cost. Which means, at best, back burner it for a while.
Again, based on the summaries I just read. Maybe they didn't mention the important changes.
The negative press is entirely counter-acted by one more tweet: "Heh. Whoops. But man, that guy rocks." With a screw-up this tiny, you just have to let people know you know you fucked up.
The power-generating road is cool if they get it to a workable state, but why the LEDs? You're raising the cost for no reason. It may not increase the cost of a 12x12 box much, but it's got to raise the price of a 20 mile stretch by a decent amount.
The flashing crosswalk even without the rest of the stuff is actually brilliant and they'll almost certainly make some money there.
He's not complaining about the taxes, he's saying his personal and company funds are indistinguishable, which means you're correct that the business isn't a corporation or LLC or he's doing it wrong. He's either a partnership or a sole proprietorship, which, for tax purposes, is pretty much identical to an S Corp. In some circumstances it would be beneficial to run as a C corp, but only if you retain profits inside the company. If you're taking most of the profit out as dividends, the taxes are worse with a C corp (you pay as the corporation, then you pay as an individual when you take the dividend).
For a year and a half I tracked every ounce of food I ate, recorded it in software I wrote, meticulously recorded calories burned on exercise machines (this is the largest source of error, but I did my best to compensate) and found the following:
Graphing my actual weight and my projected weight using (start weight - ((2660 - calories eaten + calories exercised) / 3500) will never be more than 3 pounds apart, even over a weight change of over 100 lbs, regardless of whether my caloric intake was from a tub of Crisco or from cucumbers dipped in virgin blood. Conclusion: eat whatever the hell kind of food you want, just keep the calories low, your long-term weight change will be the same. But it's easier to eat fewer calories, in my experience, if you cut out carbs. They make me hungrier.
The +/- 3 pounds fluctuates based on when you last peed, how much you drank and when, and how much meat is sitting in your colon pending expulsion.
Another few seconds because lane merges were done earlier than the last possible moment...
Merging early allows the late mergers to speed to the front of the line, forcing all of the pre-mergers to wait for every single person who didn't feel like merging early to go. If you merge early, be sure to only half-merge to prevent the dicks behind you from cutting in front of everyone and causing a traffic jam instead of slightly slowed traffic. But this gets extremely complicated when there are possible exits before the choke point (in which case blocking someone from getting to that exit is a dick move). So just wait until you get to the front, then let one person go and get in behind them.
Transparent ceramic planes using super-expensive future technology that will take years and years to actually make work! It'll be awesome! You'll be able to see through the plane! Except for the fuel, seats, luggage compartments, probably the floor, A/C ducting, electrical conduit, the bulkhead separating you from the pilot, the bathrooms in the back...
Or I guess we could just make the windows a little bigger.
Stewart just comes across as an angry bitter man trying to be funny most of the time.
And succeeding a huge portion of the time. It's not your style of humor. That's fine. I personally don't understand how anyone could ever even smile while Two and a Half Men is on, but me, you, and those folks will just have to agree to disagree.
It's not mandated. You're free to bring your own signs, but they'll have some if you're not funny. And thank God for that, because most people are not funny. Sadly, people that aren't funny and people that think they're not funny have a very small overlap on the Venn diagram, so we'll still be forced to read some very unfunny things.

He's adjusting his glasses. He's holding the bar on the left that connects the lookamajigs to the ear-holder-onners.
However the glasses appear to be Mary Kate and Ashley brand, so he's still from the future.

No, that's it. Just any four things. Google put on a hat, shaved, ate a pinecone, and made a collage celebrating Montreal. Canada was like, "A'ight."

Holy shit, Quantum Chocolate?! You are too modest, Dr. Allen. You are clearly both the Alpha and Omega Scientist.
Exactly. Very unfunny things.
I don't believe the OP used any form of the word "violence" in his post. You don't have to start swinging your fists to be horrible.

Are you advocating more regulation?
Canada fared better because we had regulations that discouraged sub-prime mortgages
He mentioned Snookie in his press correspondents dinner speech but then he said he don't know who Snookie is in his appearance on the view.
He also didn't write his speech (that's what writers are for. Doubly so for the jokes). He did write his improvised dialogue on The View (mostly).
