The commission is made up of elected representatives of the member countries's parliaments who are appointed by their respective governments to represent their country's interest on the commision. Calling them unelected is like calling the British Cabinet unelected.
There needs to be another referendum now that it had been exposed that the leaders of the leave campaign based their entire campaign on lies like this, and have no intention of following through and making it happen now they've won.
Nigel Farage himself wanted a second referendum if the vote was close, before his side won the referendum. Now he just seems interested in helping the rest of the EU break up, and has left Britain to its ruin.
The only reasonable explanation for this is that the number of very small devices that are only able to run assembly code is increasing.
The smallest device I have written code for is a PIC with 512 bytes of RAM and 256 bytes of ROM. It had a C compiler. It is also lacking in connectivity for making trendy IoT devices. So what are all these devices that can only run assembly code?
I think a more likely explanation is that fad languages come and go, and now that globalization has driven the value out of programming, and kids are leaving the industry, they are mostly going, leaving only the languages that have stood the test of time behind.
You include London City, Edinburgh and Cardiff amongst the larger airports of the UK, but not Manchester, which actually has long-haul flights out of it?
In my experience, companies using Office in a professional capacity are seldom on the current version. Corporate IT policy basically means that they are perpetually at least a version behind.
What it'll do is roughly equivalent to a car alarm, or a deadbolt lock on the front door of your house:
I'm pretty sure that incidents of theft from cars and houses have reduced since car alarms and deadbolts started being fitted as standard respectively. So your point is...?
Sure, you aren't going to solve the problem completely, but at least you can eliminate a fewunneccesarydeaths that happen purely because guns are so uncontrolled and casually lying around available for children to play with, accidents or grabbing in a rage.
Given that it is a parody, I'd expect something more like "National take-my-Rifle-from-my-cold-dead-hands Association", but yeah - when you're making a parody, you need to change the names in subtle but amusing ways to avoid this sort of blowback.
Not to mention the banners taking up the top 20% of the screen for 2 minutes after turning on the TV for a couple of months telling you that Samsung is ending one of their services soon.
The reason they are ending it is that they have no customers, so noone actually needs to see that message.
Well... not having to give your payment information to Spotify is one.
That covers the status quo before Spotify was blocked. The situation now is that you do have to give your payment information to Apple, and pay an extra $3 for the privilege. Spotify have been blocked for giving you options for payment method.
It's convenient, but it is also a security risk. My bank, credit card company and an increasing number of websites are using SMS to send an OTP to authorize online transactions. If this OTP is automatically going out to my PC, it is one more vector that an attacker is able to use to access my money (and probably the weakest link in the chain if it is a Windows PC).
Indeed. Netflix is saying 55Mbps, while Sourceforge is claiming 37Mbps down, 87Mbps up (at this time of the evening, it isn't unusual to have to share some of the download bandwidth with my neighbours, but in my experience what Netflix is claiming should be about the right ballpark for downloads compared with other tests). Since I'm in a developing country, Google isn't supporting my location yet.
I've driven manual cars where the reverse is below 5th, and I've driven manual cars where the reverse is next to 1st. Stop trying to assert that there is a single standard for manual gear sticks. I haven't seen the actual shifter in question, but I have trouble believing that it goes to the extreme that you are implying of having forward gears out of sequence, and reverse mixed in with the forward gears.
They are great to check call completions across the US because you know that (a) they will always answer and (b) you won't be bothering some random person, even in the middle of the night.
I suspect this is the reason behind the higher usage during office hours, and lower usage during the holidays that everyone takes, like Xmas. These services are used a lot for Bluetooth handsfree device testing in my office too, as usually the developers don't want to bother someone else, and they don't want to listen to the feedback they get if they try to juggle two phones themselves. All they really care about is that the phone gets answered and there is sound coming through from the other end, whether it is the time or weather forecast is immaterial, and if the service went away tomorrow they would find some other automated service to use in its place.
A Brompton is heavy and overpriced. There are already much cheaper and lighter foldables available in Asia, and some of them (mostly the Japanese rather than Chinese ones) are even able to match a Brompton in quality. The high price mostly comes down to materials and quantity, so it is not surprising that a lighter bike (lower material cost) with a larger target market (thinner spread of amortised fixed costs) would be cheaper.
but bluetooth uses very heavily lossy compression, unless you're lucky enough to have a phone and headset that both support Apt-X
apt-X is also heavily lossy compression. Slightly less heavily lossy than SBC, but at the around 350kpbs bandwidth you get on a typical Bluetooth audio channel it is around the same quality as a 160bps MP3 file.
It's not just a *nix issue, every standards compliant C library needs to use a time_t based at the POSIX epoch, and a lot of those are using 32 bit signed int too, including probably 1990s era Borland and Watcom compilers for DOS.
In fact they like it so much, they often have a 13A floor as well. But seriously folks, do American buildings really skip the 13th floor? I don't recall seeing that sort of superstition in the West for a long time (in China it is more common, but with different numbers and for obvious linguistic reasons rather than pure superstition with no basis in anything).
Sounds like a good way to get free money... until you realise that anyone who would run a loan scheme with voluntary extortion as the collateral is probably not going to stop at that to get their money back.

Because everyone knows how to make mirrors at home, no need to rely on a factory to make them.
18.04 will be a LTS version, supported with security patches until 2023.
In my experience, companies using Office in a professional capacity are seldom on the current version. Corporate IT policy basically means that they are perpetually at least a version behind.
OpenOffice is no worse than different versions of MS Office in that respect.

Samsung calls it Anynet+.

So get out your piece of paper and start writing to the Paperwork Reduction Officer about this doubleplus non-good proposal.

And talk to all your friends on the same subnet, or with a static IP address. Somehow I don't see this level of security taking off.
apt-X is also heavily lossy compression. Slightly less heavily lossy than SBC, but at the around 350kpbs bandwidth you get on a typical Bluetooth audio channel it is around the same quality as a 160bps MP3 file.

Alternatively, learn to pay attention to -Wall.
