You do realize that 24 is divisable by 6 right? So now there could be 4 different shifts. Morning Shift, Afternoon Shift, Evening Shift, Overnight shift.
This is just like the radio, spamming the same song over and over again. Played in stores, where nobody is listening, but it is getting play so it MUST be good and popular.
"Oh I get it now! A 3 foot storm surge means there could be 3 feet of water on the road! Thank you weather network for explaining this with excessive graphical representation, because my mind could not possibly comprehend height of water."
Babies learn to swim at 3 months for parents who care to teach their children. It's common in my home state of Florida. If parents are letting 2 month old babies wander around then there isn't much hope for the kid anyway.
I take this as you don't have kids. 2 month old babies do not "wander around". They aren't very mobile for the first 6 months at all. If a parent is dumb enough to put their 2 month old right beside the edge of a pool and walk away, I don't think an alarm blaring is going to help them.
People seem to forget that Amazon is a private business. They can do whatever they want. If they choose to not show your book, that is up to them. They are not blocking the sale of the book. The author can sell the book on their own site, or at another book store if they like.
If the book was removed from the INTERNET, this may be a problem because it is the removal of freedom of speech. Not shown in Amazon searches.... nothing to see here... move along.
This gender inequality stuff is really starting to get to me. *facepalm*
What if, a certain gender just doesn't naturally have an interest in a certain subject? When I went to school for computer network administration almost 15 years ago now, there were 6 girls in my program of about 600. It is not that they weren't allowed or being held back from applying. My program was in the same course application guide as all the rest. I imagine females just don't care to work/learn about computer networks. Similarly, males just generally don't care to go into Early Childhood Education, or Nursing. With that said, you don't see me screaming out how men are misrepresented in the day care workforce! Not everything in this world has to be equal, that's what makes it so special. People like different shit. It is not that males are keeping females out of their "club", in fact I think some males would be MORE THAN welcoming to have a few female companions working in IT, as it would be the only exposure they have to the opposite sex.
So if women aren't going into IT related jobs because they don't have an interest for it, how can one expect a woman to be in a leadership role for one such company? Generally people who lead companies, started said company and have a deep interest in that subject. Makes sense to me.
That is if the stock even pays a dividend, not all stocks do. Fiat currencies don't pay dividends, let's not even get into Cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin might as well be a slot machine in terms of "investing". Those who "invest" in Bitcoin are about as smart as the gamblers who claim they consistently turn a profit at the casino.
You mean the majority of Apple users? The ones who never properly learn to use the technology but have because of the "cool" factor?
It reminds me of those iPhone users who suffer from Vertical Video Syndrome. They know their videos don't format properly yet they continue to do it... making the video nearly unwatchable on any device other than your phone. Based on the "What's a computer?" comment, it is safe to assume this little shit suffers from VVS as well.
Now we could just limit the "friends" who post useless news. I only really care about pictures of people I know, or status updates. The rest is just crap, primarily the reason I dislike facebook.
I was thinking the same thing. I feel I am an above average saver and have zero debt, yet I still think I won't have enough to retire comfortably at 65 at this rate. I can only imagine what those who are neck deep in debt must feel. Although, those who are that deep in debt probably don't think very much so it makes sense they feel they can retire at 59.
This isn't anything new. I went to a video game exhibit a few years ago at the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto. The exhibit was called Game On 2.0 It was a history of video games, and had over 500 playable games. Ranging from Pong to Call of Duty. It was a lot of fun if you still don't have the system as all the games were on the real consoles and controllers, not emulation. Some of the PC games were emulated via Dosbox (Doom, Dune 2, Commander Keen etc,) understandably.
Simple English. The headline should read; "On Linux, $550 Radeon R9 Fury performance comparable With $200~350 NVIDIA GPUs".
To imply it "competes" that means it is challenging it, or pushing it's limits. I guess you could say the 350 GPU's compete with the Radeon R9 Fury, but not the other way around as the R9 Fury is providing extremely low performance it is clearly not competing.
/. has really gone downhill in the last year or two. It's sad.
In Canada, some laptops ship with French/English Keyboards. For some reason, hardware manufactures thought it was ok to shrink the left shift key to half of the normal size. As a touch typist this drives me insane as I end up typing a backslash instead of hitting shift for an uppercase letter. If anything they should use backslash just to the left of the "a" and shrink caps lock and not shift.
I live in Canada and I use debit for EVERYTHING. I will debit a purchase of less than a dollar, seriously. There is no service charge to use it and this way I don't have to have a pile of change in my pocket. It is much easiest to keep track of my purchases as they are all on my online statement. I never carry cash. I use my credit card only for online purchases.
I recently went to the states and I noticed so many people still using cash. However, the bigger surprise was how many people used credit cards to pay for everything! (a beer at the pub, put it on credit) No wonder their financial system was in ruin back in 2008. I used my CC while in the states for the most part to avoid carrying cash. I noticed that they don't use the chip / pin. I was never asked to input my pin for my CC once while in the states. I found this odd. This has been standard in Canada for a few years now.
It's all a matter of personal preference. That's the beauty of Linux, you can use whatever GUI you want to use. If you don't like it, don't use it and use one of the many other options available. I don't understand this debate. It's even better that at the end of the summary, the guy goes back to KDE even after saying Gnome is better. lol
This game pretty much single handily invented the Real-Time Strategy genre on PC. If it wasn't for Dune 2 game series like Command and Conquer, Warcraft and Starcraft would have never existed.
If a game is still entertaining 20+ years after being released it is a classic in my mind. Some games released today rely so heavily on graphics that they have zero replay value and just aren't that fun to play... but hey they look amazing!!! Dune 2 doesn't have the advanced AI or controls of current RTS games yet it still plays amazingly well for a game released in 1992.
Exactly. I wouldn't blame Google for this, the problem lies with the carriers not upgrading their fleet of phones. Android is now 3 major version releases past 4.3. Would you really expect Microsoft to continue to support Windows XP anymore? They don't, unless business is willing to shell out big bucks for added support.
When I was in school I worked at a grocery store for 7 years. I never once saw somebody slip on a banana in the produce department. I did however see many people nearly break their necks slipping on grapes. Those things are slippery when stepped on. But then again, it was rare there was just a peel of a banana on the ground verses a whole banana. Grapes are very slippy, that's why you often see carpets on the ground around them in grocery stores.
So ISP's want to give the "control" to the consumer, just like cable providers had given the control to subscribers in selecting their channels? And as time goes on the packages just get worse and worse, you mean that type of control? Where they will have "premium" web packages that will include faster response/load times for sites like netflix and youtube, but will conveniently put a related site like Hulu in a separate package. Just so you have to buy two packages.
Currently I see no reason to have a smartwatch, it just seems like an expensive watch that relays notifications from my phone. I have no problem reaching into my pocket to grab my phone when needed. Everything these smartwatches can do, my phone can already do and usually better. This to me just seems like having a pager and a cell phone years ago, is it really necessary? I do see the potential for these devices, I just don't think they are there yet.
You’re on 16, all the way up, all the way up...Where can you go from there? Nowhere. What we do, is if we need that extra push over the cliff...Eighteen. Two more cores."

...but, how many football fields does this equate to? I'm asking the real questions here.
It was already released and it was called Windows RT.

THAT is definitely the kind of "choice" I want.
The internet should be OPEN for everybody.
