I was in repair shop once (because my iPhone's phone jack wouldn't take the stereo mini cable I was trying to stick into it anymore. I thought something was bent inside the hole, turned out it was just jammed with pocket lint.) and the clerk did something I now do every day.
She took my phone, and instead of hunting for the settings icon, she swiped down, hit the letters "se" and the settings icon presented itself! She f*cking searched for it! I do that with spotlight on my mac all the time, I don't know why it didn't occur to me to do that on my iPhone, but I sure do now.
So to answer the question: 1. I try to delete apps aggressively, that helps. 2. I put the most used stuff on the first page, leaving empty space if that's required. 3. I group games together and tuck them away. 4. I search for stuff I use once in a while.
Its an ongoing process. The problem is there's a long tail graph of usage of apps. My iMessage, phone and Skype apps get used a ton, my sense app and a few games get used once a day, settings etc, once a week and a hand full once a month. The remainder probably need to be deleted.
The iOS app/interface manager isn't that great. Sure I have full control, but damn, help me out a bit. Doesn't the windows phone sort apps by usage? That would be amazingly helpful. So would a notification of what apps should probably be deleted.
I don't want that much fine grained control & it's stressful to see all that crap on your phone.
"With the lifting of economic sanctions, Netanyahu warned, “Iran will get a jackpot, a cash bonanza of hundreds of billions of dollars, which will enable it to continue to pursue its aggression and terror.”"
I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'm curious what your counterpoint to that statement is. What will Iran do with billions of dollars after 'behaving' for 15 years? Sounds to me like they will have enough cash and immunity to build a bomb. What I think is going on, is, the Obama administration is hoping Iran does not hold true to their agreement and we can faithfully NOT hold up our promise to withhold sanctions.
We use TestRail (http://www.gurock.com/testrail/) with much success. It integrates with Jira (or not, up to you) and has a very simple and intuitive interface. I am a former Zephyr user and that experience is, in part, why I ended up with Testrail. I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet.
They feed chickens to cows, cows to chickens, fish to both, and GM corn with antibiotics to the chickens in the first place. The food chain looks like a fractal, not a line with humans at the top.
I totally agree, which is why I'm a Vegan. I switched about a year and a half ago and have since lost 70 pounds (I started out at 240) and my cholesterol and heart rate are down the line perfect. I'm not a PETA supporter, I still wear leather, I can not stand most animals and for the most part am just an average Joe. I'm not a Vegan for the sake of the animals, I'm a Vegan for my own well being.
The book at this link: http://www.drfuhrman.com/weightloss/about.aspx/ convinced me to become Vegan. If you are having any health problems (like sleep apnea or type 2 diabetes) you should run, not walk, to amazon.com to buy that book (I think you can get it used for under $5), it will change your life.
There is a lot of confusing information about diet out there, this book cuts through all that and basically tells you what's up. I want to walk up to overweight people and shake them and say "There's a better way! Read this!"
To end my commercial (for which I get paid nothing) I'd say: It has a very "Hack your body" feel to it, which is perfect for the Slashdot crowd. He goes into the details of the numbers of calories, nutrients, protein, fat, sugar, etc. It's an amazingly fast read, especially for a technical person.
You are 1/2 right. New York has 100,000,000 telephone operators, but they actually are people. Ever call New York and have to "please press 1" for anything?
Guess what, you're the latest in telephone operator technology.
Also: I don't know what all the bitching is about (from the old story): Even President Bush jumped into the fray last month, calling for affordable, universal high-speed access by 2007.
I mean he *CALLED* for it people, and it's just one year away.
I can usually remember the project I was working on while solving a specific problem. Once I get to that point, it's just a matter of looking through the project enough to either remember exactly where the code is, or doing a 'find' on some random keyword I might remember.
But there's a better way: RDF.
Either RDF or a del.icio.us type of tagging system. Although I haven't seen an application that does so, I'd love to be able to tag code to later search. I'd be able to put kewords/tags *INSIDE* the code, as well as marking files, groups of files, and so on.
For instance if I wrote a really cool recursive function, I could tag it as "javascript, recursive, 'company abc'". Then when I was looking for the code I could search for any or all of the keywords and get a list back. I'd like to be able to search by filename and within files (with regex support of course), please.
I'm sure there are tools out there that have this type of functionality, I just haven't happened across one yet.
We're so prone to thinking in terms of binary choices anyway that what we need is something to help us see the multitude of possibilities rather than something that narrows the scope.
Really? Because the first thing I thought of was putting other 2x2 matrices in each of the cells of the origional 2x2 matrix. Some of us don't need quite as much direction I guess.
Gmail doesn't integrate with any Messenger, nor does it have decent contact list management. when those two things work (Oh yeah, and I can check it from outlook), I'll shift everyone over to my Gmail account.
I think what you will find is that someone who has a low tolerance for other people, usually dislikes something about himself, and sees it in a lot of people.
After all, they basically have a distributed database of the entire net, which they index efficiently on a continuous basis. Who wants to bet that their system is better at gathering intelligence than any government agency in the world?
You weren't joking about that part for good reason, and it made me do a double-take. The government, which will outsource a LOT of things to corporations, are going to have a hard time having to rely on someone else for the ultimate commodity: information.
You aren't accounting for duplicates there. Just because they have that many pages indexed it doesn't mean they aren't counting a lot of those multiple times.

Good luck.
... speaking to each other improves communication. Brilliant.

"because traditional workplace demands like higher pay are not important to us"
Since when is higher pay simply "not important"?
That's awesome news, congratulations. I read that entire book in about 3 days, it's a very fast read.
I wish you the best of luck.

I've done this too, it's called 'a mirror'.
I

Repeat, 2 years in the making.

You should care because regardless of your own morals, someone just proved that its possible to rip off honest people.

Sure, for the dialup community.
Then Yahoo and Hotmail will offer low-res versions.

Spin, spin, sugar.

Well at least that way it'll be easier to mod.

Doesn't that imply more than 4.285 billion?
