Pintrips and PInterest do seem at least similar enough that I could imagine some people assume they're related. Granted, we'd be getting pretty close to the "moron in a hurry" which seems to be the test, but I don't think we're quite at that level.
I'm seeing a bunch of posts saying similar, all AC, a bunch of them losing credibility for their racism, none of them providing any sources. Looking at the kid's dad on Wikipedia, he comes across as a politician and advocate but none of that seems particularly extreme.
Essentially you come across as trolls or crazy right wing nutters.
Near as dammit Every British kitchen (and Hotel room) has one. They're dirt cheap. You can get one for £10. They're faster than an electric stove (when I had an electric cooked I'd boil in the kettle and pour into the saucepan), they turn off automatically when boiled, which is something you can hear from a different room due to the click and change in sound quality.
And they let the contract end at the end of the first term, moving to another provider. I answered a lot of questions during and after the handover. No problem, ethical and professional behavior I would have engaged in even without a specific contractual obligation, if the former client made the request.
Right. The way I see it, the clause just makes this reasonable expectation a legal requirement.
0. The current servers were all Windows Server 2003, upgrades from Server 2000. I left the system with NetWare 5.1 servers. I never knew the Windows Administrator passwords.
Starting lists at zero. I can see we're dealing with a techie here! But seriously it does show something to watch out for. It's fine until the client decides that you have information or expertise that you don't have.
There's no way a court would actually enforce that clause in most circumstances. Perhaps they might plausibly need to call you and ask what the password is for an obscure, rarely used component, or if there's a lawsuit they might need you to make a statement.
Essentially it's a catch-all clause that the bank might use in rare circumstances.
This was a response to stupid the "The Americans got there first" brag.
Yes, Russia did have a bit of a slowdown more recently. The collapse of communism and people starving tends to do that. Seems to have bounced back pretty well since then.
Russia already landed a probe on the moon in 1966. Several months before the US managed to do the same. Actually, depending on what you consider a "landing" the first man made object on the moon was a Russian probe in 1959.
So, other people have their own problems. I bet you still complain when you stub your toe even though there are people with no feet.
Giving away money isn't the solution, any more than chopping your foot off solves the foot issue. You can't buy yourself out of the feeling people are judging you.
Presumably they're only concerned with the genuinely misleading ones. Nobody is going to see those reviews and not realise it's a joke. It has the side effect of attracting more people but it's doing so in an honest way and doesn't damage Amazon's brand.
The fraudulent views do damage the brand. People can't tell whether to take these seriously or not.
Do you enjoy games? If so, awesome. If not, fine - there are plenty of other pursuits you can enjoy. If you do, then I hope you appreciate the mental, and emotional experience.
If I declare games to be "art" does it in any way enhance that experience? If I declare them "not art" does it in any way diminish it?
It's a pretentious label. Most gamers don't care whether it's art. They don't care whether books or music are art either. They just enjoy them.
You are all Cows. Metric Cows!! Cows say Moooo. MOOOOOOOOOO! MOOOOOOOOOOOO! MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cows MOOOOOOOOOO! Moooooooo say the cows. YOU PARIS COWS!!!!
Metric cows say Moooooooooo. Imperial cows are the ones that go Mooooooooooooooo, Mooo, or Moooooooooooo
I guess the main problem is difficulty of getting a reference value. Measuring out an exact volume of liquid of exactly the right isotope levels (this will have an effect at the level of precision we're talking about), at an exact temperature and pressure is looking so difficult that it's starting to sound easier to fly to France, and go through the bureaucracy needed to use the reference kilogram.
So, pay more, use crappy little images or disable images in order to experience better image quality. Even though JPEG is actually fine as long as people don't overcompress.
I do wonder if it would be possible to provide free food (at least some of the basics), housing, clothing and health care. Most developed nations provide them to those who can't afford them in some form or another. The main problem with providing at least the essentials to everyone for free is a sense of people getting something for nothing.
Yes. Star Trek doesn't seem to quite have that. Iain M Banks' Culture series presented a genuine post-scarcity society. In one of the books there's brief exchange where a character is asked whether someone could have a whole planet if they wanted one. The answer was essentially "I suppose so, but why would you want one?"
I use git at work. It does the job. At home I use subversion because I understand it better, and like the tools.
Point is, both allow you to make changes, undo changes, merge with each other without worrying too much about breaking stuff. Pick one and stop worrying about it.The project will not succeed or fail based on the VCS.
Agreed. This sort of thing probably doesn't have anyone specific to blame but a lot of people making bad choices.
If mechanical engineering is anything like software development, the engineers are under pressure to get the car to fit a whole load of contradictory design goals. The manager doesn't understand the problem too clearly. The engineers do a bodge job to get the pressure off. Management sees that it ticks the boxes and doesn't really care. Engineers figure "what the hell".
I'm also not particularly tempted to replace my satellite bill with a bunch of smaller streaming bills especially when support for any particular service on any particular device is hit or miss.
The absence of standardisation here is one of my bugbears. My Sony TV supports Netflix and iPlayer (The must-haves in the UK), but players for the other major channels seem to be missing.
Still, you can get cheap android based devices, and Android itself is a fairly stable standard. Even Amazon's fork for FireTV seems to be pretty well represented, and the devices are cheap enough I don't mind throwing it out if it does become obsolete in a year or two.
With "cord-cutting" becoming more common, and increasing dissatisfaction about the networks' reluctance to offend anyone, I can see most of the people who like this sort of gadget to instead spend the same on a selection of On-demand services.
I assume that this is a tweak that the engineers need to make to improve the aircraft rather than something that should be bodged like that. They're still in an early stage so these issues are going to crop up.
Besides, that's probably not a good solution if they eject over water.
It's a minor design issue discovered during testing. They happen in engineering. The solution is to fix it.
Not sure why this was a problem and why they couldn't use an existing ejector seat design but perhaps they have to be designed on a per-aircraft basis.
Well? When it comes to copyable media we do get to use it for free for near enough all eternity. The only exception is a relatively short time near the beginning.
Yes pedants - 95 years is a relatively short time compared to the billions of years we expect the universe to exist.

Because we have an electric kettle!

Although with reference to your other post, the US did seem to be ahead by the 1970's when it came to Mars Probes.

Maybe they should just put the paperwork on the seat.
