And I never bothered to memorize the keystrokes except Ctrl-C, V, and Z. As Einstein used to say, "Why bother remembering that which you can look up?" and so I just looked-up in the functions in the menu as I need them. Plus the fact keystrokes don't translate.

Funny.:-) But predicting user habits online (which pages they will visit today, or their favorite candidate) is not the same as predicting the stock market..... which I suspect is completely chaotic. Remember that Asimov's psychohistory could predict *general* outcomes over decades, not day-to-day events.
It says UPTO $20,000 and it's no different than the U.S. (Yes Occupy protesters have been fined by police.) This CryptoCat story reminds me of when a Campaign for Liberty (ronpaul) volunteer was detained by the TSA while traveling from St.Louis to D.C. They demanded to know why he was carrying over $4000 in cash. He refused to answer given that it was none of their business (plus the fact Missouri via the MIAC Report were holding CFL people as "potential terrorists").
OF Course the SA has done much worse, such as holding a mother in a glass jail (her crime: carrying medical bottles of milk for her kid). And forcing a mother to "demo" a breastfeeding a machine, else they'd take the $100 device. Also strip searches of the elderly, dumping urine on disabled persons, and groping breasts and crotches. I have a hundred articles like that.
I'd like to hear comments from these women when they are in their 40s and fat (or just old). "Nobody looks at me anymore. I used to be cute and guys would give me all kinds of attention. Now they don't even look.:-( " Young women (and men) don't appreciate the beauty they have until after it's gone.
2 or 3GB bandwidth caps DO place limits on the net. It's the same reason it's considered poor netiquette to copy-and-paste a WHOLE message when you reply to someone. You're wasting their bandwidth (which they are paying for).
Yeah man. It reminds me of my Commodore 64 days..... no, even that had lower-case menus. Um. The 70s computers??? RETRO is back baby! Yeah baby, yeah!;-)
BUT AT LEAST IT HAS A MENU. Freaking Office 2010 with the ribbon crap confuses the heck out of me, because I can never find the function I want. Where's the undo function? Find-and-replace? Full justification? I know they're in that mess of Egyptian hieroglyphics, but I have no clue where.
It appears this is a RETROACTIVE search, not a search without cause. They are tracing the path of the killer, so they can use it as evidence in a trial.

Even if Gates were CEO I doubt Microsoft would be any better off. If you look at Gates' tenure, the only smart decision he made was to sell MS-DOS to IBM. After that point Gates just rode on IBM's coattails as they turned the PC into the defacto-standard (and therefore DOS/windows the defacto standard).
Though Gates followed Jack Tramel's "business is war" philosophy and drove-out WordPerfect, Lotus 1-2-3, DR-DOS, and other competition (actions that landed Microsoft in trouble with the EU and US antitrust laws), I can't honestly think of one area where Gates invented something new. Therefore I don't think Microsoft or 2012 would be any better-off with Gates as CEO.
The Authorization for Use of Military Force doesn't give a president power to overrule the Constitution nor the Bill of Rights. It doesn't give the president power to arrest Americans and toss them in jail for years-and-years without a right to trial. BUT the NDAA does..... which is why it's dangerous. And why a judge recently suspended those two sentences.
You sound like the idiots who in the 1910s or 1940s said, "Oh it's okay for Wilson (or FDR) to toss the Suffragettes (or japanese) into jail indefinitely without a trial." NO. No it isn't. Please stop defending presidents (Wilson, FDR, Bush, Obama) who violate the Supreme Law of the land..... the constitution and Bill of rights.
The reason tyrants succeeded was because of useful idiots who sat by and said, "Oh President Adolf is doing nothing wrong. He's just relocating the jews to a new home in poland." In other words: Dumb asses.
Fcuk him. He's DEAD okay? I am sick-and-tired of this bullshit where Mark Twain is sitll getting paid when he's been a rotten skeleton for ~100 years!!! Damn the fucklign 120-year-long coypright into dmanation.
It used to be just $25 a month. And it was worthwhile because watching shows I'd never seen before (Time Tunnel, Ufo, Dark Shadows, Quantum Leap) was cheaper via cable then buying the season-set on VHS (around $1000). Today it's the exact opposite. Cable costs too much (~70) and season sets on DVD or Hulu are cheap to rent.
I'm disappointed the Sci-Fi is no longer sci-fi/fantasy. I'm disappointed that History Channel no longer shows history, but instead shows the present. Well that's about it. I didn't watch much else.
BTW music television exists on Antenna television. It's called CoolTV and they play blocks like "70s rock" or "cool 80s" and then modern music the rest of the time.
And yes I watch Ghost Hunters. On hulu. I fast-forward to the "reveal" because that's where all the "action" happens. If they ever find something that's where it will occur.
The boss you encounter when you are trying to escape the dying station. Right before a savepoint I was trying to reach. (The savepoint really should be before the boss, not after.)
The control SEEMS logical, but the damn wand doesn't register most of my inputs. Not just with MP3 but most of the games. It is not as precise/responsive as pressing a button on a controller. >>>Doesn't really matter if MP3 is primary a shooter or not, there is an FPS element (however small or big)
On my old Atari there's a game called "Maze Runner" which has an FPS element (first-person view) but would not be properly termed an FPS. And then there's the numerous racing games which also feature an FPS element (first-person view) but clearly not termed FPSes either. Or the various starship games which has an FPS element (first-person view) but are not generally termed FPSes.
Likewise MP3 is not an FPS, anymore than the original Metroid or Super Metroid were third-person shooters. All of these games have been hide-and-seek games..... trying to find the hidden parts. --- Next you're going to try and convince me Pacman is an RPG (where you "roleplay" as a yellow round creature).
So are buildings, but that doesn't mean the building has a legal-right to speech, funding Romney's campaign, or other human rights. It is the people *inside* the building or corporation that have the rights.
Private contracts can not overrule the consumer or employee-protection laws. So ruled a judge when he threw-out most of Paypal's user contract (which claimed they had the right to freeze access to your money for six months and, at their sole discretion, close your account & keep the cash).
Just because you sign a contract does not mean you sign-away your rights as protected by law. It sounds like your Employment contract violates the law which allows employees freedom to talk to one another about work conditions/pay.
37 million years ago is a looooong time ago. More than halfway along the time dimension to the age of the dinosaurs. I'm surprised primates arose that quickly.
When the revolution comes, MPAA's CEO and the managers under him should be in the line for beheading. (Or we could just pass a constitutional amendment that corporations don't have human rights and are not a fictional "person" under the law.)
Microsoft has supported XP for seemingly forever. At no charge (3 major updates and also minor bugfixes - all free). But you're right this Questioner should have a contract somewhere to specify exactly how long the software will be supported. One could argue that "no time specified" means the customer should get no support at all. They should not have signed the contract, if they did not like those terms.

No I am not saying it. Lafe Solomon an attorney working for the National Labor Relations Board is saying it. Read the PDF embedded in the original article:

If you learn Joe is making $20/hour more than you, it might be time to ask for a raise, or start looking for a new job of equal pay.
The employer can not include in their policy:
"Don't release confidential guest, team member, or company information on social media...."
"Offensive, demeaning, abusive, or inappropriate remarks are as out of place online as they are offline."
"Think carefully about friending coworkers online."
"Employees should report any unusual or inappropriate internet social media activity."
And on and on.
Correction: I'm surprised [simians] arose that quickly.

Hopefully it will be a peaceful revolution like the Revolution of 1800.
When the revolution comes, MPAA's CEO and the managers under him should be in the line for beheading. (Or we could just pass a constitutional amendment that corporations don't have human rights and are not a fictional "person" under the law.)
No but I still point people to ubuntu.com and say, "Here have some free software." Maybe they'll try it and like it.
Microsoft has supported XP for seemingly forever. At no charge (3 major updates and also minor bugfixes - all free).
