You say boo hoo, and I say boo hoo, but sadly the this is the truth of why this is a problem. BP has been trying for a month to keep the well open so they don't lose the rights.
End of story.
I think we should deprive BP of more than a few billion dollars. I think we should deprive them of their board and their charter as a corporation. But who the fuck am I, a citizen? Obviously I don't count.
Perhaps you missed his comment "for newer machines"? If you're running XP on machines/devices older than 18 mos, then yeah, you probably wouldn't benefit. You could also purchase 1-2TB drives for upgrades, and by the time you have a _need_ for 3+ TB HDD, then you should be able/ready to upgrade to Win7 or later.
Yeah it probably is a lot bigger than I can comprehend, but I also know that if it remains uncapped and freeflowing what I'm talking about could have effect.
I'm reminded of a dot on a dot on a dot connected to a device that has an association with cake... I'm pretty sure there's no way I would make it back out of the box coherent. Much less hungry.
I don't know if private colleges get state funding.
No. Not usually. There may be a few states that offer to help, but in most every state I've heard of having private schools (any private schools) there is ZERO public funding.
No, we had vo-tech and work-study in this country up until the late 50's, early 60's. They seemed to finally phase out in the late 70's, early 80's for pretty much everywhere. Anybody care to put a finger up and say about when things in this country started going to piss?
Anyone who cares to argue can come down to my neck of the woods and I'll show you at least three schools I know of that were built for the express intent of Vo-Tech, but were repurposed 30 or so years ago to meet general education because there were no more Vo-Tech programs. It's a shame really. The only benefit is that there were local schools that were able to use the premises as-is for teaching shop or the like.
What's the a) time spent in "primary school" compared to the US K-12 program, and b) technical competency compared to an American degree?
For instance, as I understand it the Hauptschule concept of Germany* focus more on having a technical job and the student is out of school by the age of 15 or 16. If you were in the US, you would not be allowed to leave HS at 15-16 even if all you wanted to do was be a skilled tradesman. If you did leave school that early, people would look down on you for a number of years. They also don't focus on the academic subjects, but rather on what it takes to be a good citizen.
Do you know many kids from your HS that would've been happy to stop at 10th and go get a job working on cars or something similar? I sure did (probably 20-30% of the kids in my graduating class would've been happy to be done sooner and go get a technical job).
Of the students I know who went towards Gymnaisum and Uni, they tended to come out after that 6+ with a Master's level competency.
I would say their systems are a lot better than ours.
* to pick on Germany, since I know some Germans well enough as any ignorant Amerikaner can.
Way to troll. It's so sad that every one of your points is fairly well wrong and could earn you a post nearly as long in refute for each. If you read that post and thought it was insightful, you've been trolled.
You're not thinking clearly. The Gulf Coast has one other distinctive item named with the same reference, and for a reason. The Gulf Current will transport the oil along the Eastern Seaboard and up into Northern Europe if this keeps going for too much longer. This will decimate Atlantic ocean life as well. It's not just the Gulf Coast that is starting to get ready for a really bad time, it's most of the Western world.
More true than you may realize. As others have noted, it's a fifteen minute procedure and come Monday (if done on a Friday) you'll hardly even know it was done (provided there were no complications of course).
And yet some of us have been using slashdot for as long as we've been on the web (roughly so ~ more or less) as younger folks know it today.
I've been using this nick since 95 ish and haven't hidden that fact as far as I can remember. It was only lately that I even got an email addy that matched my real name (and that only for job hunt purposes). So I guess the fact that you don't share your username outside/. is related to the fact that you only got on the internets a couple years ago?
Also, who the f*ck cares? It's/.. We're supposed to be crackpots. Why be careful about what you post?
yeah, more like a bottle lasts me 18 mos. It's enough that my wife can smell it at the end of the day, but that's because she's smelling the back of my neck;)
Aside from when I just walk out of the bathroom, I've never had anyone comment negatively. That's usually because I spray it right before I walk out.
Learned from my dad, three shots across the body, just so, and while it adds a bit of pleasantness, it's never overpowering.
Side note: The two favorite scents of mine atm: Black, Pi.
Ok, after like the twentieth mention in this article, what the hell? Poor hygiene? I don't get it. I've always taken a shower everyday, brushed my teeth twice a day, wear clean clothes, deodorant, cologne, wash hands frequently...
I knew maybe three kids out of 60 in the college program that were seemingly malodorous, and they were of Indian emigracy, so I assume it's a cultural thing. Nothing to really get upset over, but my point being: I don't know many developers/computer scientists/programmers with bad hygiene.
And of the 20 folks in my company, I can only find one that's even partially unhygienic.
If you live in an apartment building with a single entrance (think movie style with the stairwell in the middle), you have the main apartment building key, the door knob key, and the deadbolt.
Three keys, designed for increasing levels of individual safety (insofar as locks are not designed to keep you safe, but to make it noticeable when someone is actively violating another persons safety ~ or however that gets said)
What about the keyfob for the car? Keep the roof key, postbox, motorbike and presumably bicycle on a separate keychain if that's at all an option. After all, you only take one vehicle per day, unless you're actively out biking, in which case you only need a house key and the bike key. Yes?
I'm curious why you and the GF each have two locks on the interior door needing keys, if you were able to leave off one of each of those, that would save you two more. So now you would be down to 2 (yours) + 2 (hers) + 1 (office) + 1 (postbox) + 1 (car) which seems slightly more manageable.
I carry 7 on mine, but I married the GF a number of years back, saving me two keys. My two new keys are old apartment (story in and of itself, but I need to keep it) and key to my fireproof box at home.
Next thought: Why the insistence on a pocket knife?
So how does that game work on XP? Does it still have the multitouch support? Or does Flash not offer multitouch support?
See, cross platform does not mean full utilization of the api set. If I get an app for my iPhone, I expect it to work like an iPhone app, not an XP app. By the same token, on XP I expect to have a menubar, right click support, etc. (Omitting that Flash doesn't usually DO context support anywhere)
So once again, yeah it's great that you _can_ compile, but you're not releasing an app for my device, you're releasing a generic app.
But I get your point. Also, why not just export Flash to HTML5/js?
Well so the problem with that is this: Any time you want to tailor to a specific platform, you loose cross platform abilities. Anytime you want to tailor to cross platform, you have to develop to the lowest common denominator.
Do you want the most bang for the buck?
or
Do you want the most generic app?
Most users don't care, because most apps are generic anyways. But for games, the part that is important is usually the graphics, which means the best performance is the most native. Granted, not always true, and there are ways to optimize. But flash has not in my experience been designed to be a DirectX replacement. Does that make sense?
Does the video go black but the sound continues to come out when you move it to the secondary monitor? I've run across that before, and my solution was to straddle the two screens and leave the window, so I only see a portion of the video. let go of the move handle. Now move it again to the secondary monitor. Then I usually see video. Totally wonky, but it fixes it for me.

This is what the Russians did, so there is a firm background for doing the same thing.

well, go ahead and accept me at my /. twittername and see if it works. I think they've disabled follow/unfollow requests for now
Plus, I really wanna see if it shows up on both ends of the queue, or just the one end.
