Try watching the video. Just once. Oh, and pay attention while it's on. No really, you might actually learn something!
I did but thanks for the sarcasm.
I heard him say test bank which led me to believe they have a repository of old tests or reusable questions. Both of which aren't the best way to write a test.
Why don't they create a new test from scratch every time? The best professors I knew did it that way.
I think even the now disappearing "basic phones" have some sort of phone book/directory function. That's not mentioned in the summary. Also, I see it has no display of any kind.
The phone has a display for incoming calls. The address book exists in the form of a pad of paper on the back of the phone you can write on.
I imagine most people are trying these now for the novelty of it all. That might be the whole point, but if I normally didn't use vending machines then this probably wouldn't make me use it more than once or twice to see what it does. If I were the owner, I'd set it to recommend more expensive drinks.
In previous games you can be penalized for hitting other cars. Of course this setting can be adjusted to match the preference of the user. Aside from this I would think the sheer number of models you can drive with a world class simulator is enough to purchase the game.
is that this will be in an orbit we can't get to if there have to be repairs, much like the Hubble desperately needed. They better get it right the first time.
I can't say what they wanted, that's just a guess. A MAC address would at least give away the manufacturer. But that's conjecture. It is possible that someone fudged some code and accidentally collected personal information instead of discarding it. It happens.
I was under the impression that amassing and organizing as much information as possible was part of their goal. There's lots of information to be had from router data. Perhaps it really was unintentional that they collected the extra personal information and that they only were interested in SSID, MAC, encryption, etc.
It depends on the user's preference, how secure the application is, and most importantly how secure the password is. A sufficiently strong password will have a minimum to how often it should be changed to protect from passwords being leaked (although this shouldn't be much of a problem either if passwords werent stored in plaintext or easy to decrypt ciphers).
I'm actually surprised game stores even carry PC games anymore, don't most of them make the vast majority of their money selling used copies of console games?
Yes. But a major focus is retaining customers by getting them to come in the store. For every customer that buys a game online, they miss out on the chance that customer will buy a used item while in the store. The notion that this wont hurt their sales because so many people buy online is wrong. There are a lot of people who cannot get or afford the Internet connection required to buy games online. In the end it only hurts the retailers AND Valve.
Sort of. Having worked at Gamestop in the past, I can say that their revenue comes from resale, not first time sales. If it wasn't for the face that broadband isn't accessible to everyone, there would be PC games sold in cases. The profit earned on new game sales is negligible. I'm assuming these companies work in a similar fashion so not selling PC games in the store isn't going hurt their bottom line very much. However, this will prevent some customers from ever entering the store which is one thing that helps drive sales.
....or how about not being a spoiled brat and accepting Aunt Mildreds gift with a little gratitude and respect. There is a saying, "don't look a gift horse in the mouth".
...or how about saving me time and Amazon money by bypassing the time lost and money spent on delivery and subsequent return by letting me accept a gift certificate.
Instead of trying to make an educated guess about what I would or would not want, just let me know beforehand that you might have an order coming to me that I don't want. Then let me decide if I want it in gift certificate form.
I've seen studies that showed that heating the testicles for a number of minutes each day in 100+ F degree water will reduce the sperm count to zero after a few weeks. After stopping treatment sperm count rebounded to normal levels.
Most computer science students don't know how to write code. So it doesn't matter at all.
That's because many computer science departments focus on the theories and science of CS, not good programming techniques because many professors have never written code for a living.
It's probably why so many departments started teaching Java instead of C++ (or *gasp* both!) because they just don't know any better.

I doubt it would be very difficult to remove the power source from any scrambling device on my own car.
You're telling me this guy has taught for 21 years and was blindsided by the oldest, most common cheating vector?

I'm serious.
Check it.
On a side note, scotch tape releases x-rays when you peel it:
In a vacuum.

I forgot to mention that even if it goes to plan, we still can't upgrade parts either. That's one reason Hubble has had such a long life.

More sales for Steam then?

Will looking at some spinach put you into a rage then? It certainly seemed that way for Popeye.

The kids who don't socialize obviously aren't making leaps and bounds in the sex department.
Looks like PCI Express x1
However, this would be great for health professionals who work where there's no easy access to medical facilities.
Tell me what the long term effects are.

What? Don't you want to see how many platters we can cram into a 3.5" drive?
...or they could park their car on a driving range. Sounds much cheaper.
