You will have to major rewriting whether you want to or not. You will not cover every base out of the gate. Your users will do stuff and break stuff that you will never think of at this stage. Hell you may come up with a clever way to implement a feature - but that may only occur several months after the users have been exposed to the product.
It is just a fact of life. No plan is perfect, no software is perfect, and nothing ever survives the userbase intact.
I've used the same basic letter when I've quit in the past. You may get hauled into a meeting to find out why, but you don't have to tell them anything other than you quit (if they want you to work a notice period you'll find out)
A heavy reader - does more than 30 minutes a day - that would be a light reader...
I read 2-4 hours per day if I can afford the time (zero otherwise). I charge my kindle every couple of weeks if reading heavily on it, then again i'm doing 50/50 kindle to paper..
I have a smart 3dtv, I bought that model because it was the cheapest way to get an LCD/LED backlit TV with enough HDMI sockets for my gear.
All the cheap non-smart/non-3d TV on the market in my price range and target screen size maxed out at 2 HDMI sockets, moving up to a smart TV gained me an extra HDMI and 3D... Moving up a model again gained another HDMI...
I use none of the smart tv features - my dvr does them better...
We had a similar story. Our local exchange (500m away) got 21cn and they (BT) refused to sells us a faster 21cn connection because we already had a 2mb leased line (from before BT's 8mb adsl max rollout) and they could not sell us a cheaper solution...
I think you'll find most FPS these days are pretty lame at only 7-8 hours gameplay. There a few that topp 8 hours and I've not played a new one that lasted longer than 8 hours play in years.
I wonder how much of the piracy was due them cocking up the EU release. It was briefly released then pulled, and as far as I know still not available for EU customers.
Treating your customers with contempt does no favours
NB I had zero interest in this game after that idiot decision so didn't even get around to downloading the demo.
in the UK at least, neither gas nor electricity meters can be hooked up to any sort of device that can query the meter for it's current reading.
Rubbish. Look up smart meters gas & electric meters which update the utility company continously on usage which they can provide to you as well. (currently insanely popular after the recent documentry on smart meters)
If your supplier is reluctant to include you in the trials, for electrical use try "Wattson" or other similar personal wireless power meters (also sold out everywhere, but there a cheaper more functional equivalents around)
The big advantage of a soft copy of book is being able to do searches for keywords which is invaluable when you don't know which set of terminology the author is using and the index doesn't cover the word or phrase you require.
Note this is particularly invaluable in API references - particularly with php when you have no clue which daft name php uses for a function, but you are sure that php has function for that job.
As the DBA for Postgres DB where we do that for a website that searches over several million rows (with daily updates of up to 25% of the DB) in under 10 seconds. I can say that a similar query is ugly as hell but it only took a couple days tweaking to get the average case to under 3 seconds - certain parameters max out at 20 seconds.
Certainly postgres plays nice with self joins and natural joins as the query turned out faster than trying an iterative stored proc so we just access a view from the proc.

Your resignation letter only has to say the minimum - Nixon's resignation letter, is the best example:

Because the BBC is stuffed full with left nut jobs the way Fox is full of right wing nut jobs...
In other words he was a typical test pilot of the time.
So you won't mind living in a fascist state?
As that is where all this leads to.
An episode of NCIS had a girl bumping into strangers with a NFC skimmer http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1683271/ NCIS season 8 episode 8 - Enemies Foreign

I know just enough vi to get my favourite editor compiled & installed if I can't get a package...
Agreed in principle. However I still use the TWM setup i came up with on SunOS4 back at college 20+ years ago.
So the DOJ did the right thing by accident then?
MS will get so large and lethargic it will slowly rot to death from the inside?
Sounds like someone played the long game...
Slap you vpn admin until he sets up split-tunnelling properly if your vpn locks out your lan.
I use a cisco asa based vpn and with split tunnelling turned on at the host i can still use my lan while vpn is connected.
You just must have a different subnets for the local & remote.
There is no reason for PAM ever
Nuff said
Usual one is
Postcode: SW1A 2AA
House number: 10 or 11
Or: SW1A 0AA
some people don't have any credit cards or even any other kind of card a card processor would accept.

How can they not mention the multiplatform fiasco that was Rise of the Robots?
Or as previously mentioned here Daikatana..
I maintain a site oriented at the UK design industry and have the unsuprising figures:
IE 65%
FireFox 16%
Safari 10%
The rest is bots with various RSS agents & aggregators being well represented. (The site has an active RSS feed plus some less active feeds)
On the other hand a site for UK hotels gets:
IE 76%
FF 12%
AOL 2%
Safari 2%
Opera 2%
