Look up their page on Google? Seriously, everyone who is interested in your feedback has an email address. If they are only asking you for "Likes" and feedback on their Facebook profile page, and follow them on Twitter, they are asking you to be a co-marketer for them and nothing else.
I don't know why your wrapped around the axle about not having a FB page for communication if you should need it. You're here on slashdot which, in the words of John Bender, is "sorta social, demented and sad, but social." Go make a profile with your throwaway gmail address (I used the one I use for/. and other online forums), use John Rossdee as your name, and pick a celebrity picture off of Google Images for your profile pic. Done. Now you can reply to all those pages you seem desperate to become part of.
I've had people find the real me off my forum handle, but it's rare and requires actual, targeted effort. It's not that hard, though I think it's only happened twice in over a decade.
That's the thing about wars and rules. The rules are only followed by one side, typically the losing side unless there is some major imbalance of power. I'm all for worldwide peace, but the winning side is unlikely to follow any rules we set.
Expect that most of your students this semester will have avoided ever having to solve for x, and their entire academic arc is predicated on claiming that the answer for x does not really matter because they are being trained to solve problems subjectively which are too difficult or complex to represent as a closed for solution to an equation.
Short version: they will all guess at the answers on your test and none of them will be able to solve anything as complex as the quardratic equation.
You have to options: Fuck with their minds on stuff like the Let's Make A Deal and other hard-math probability scenarios and flunk them all, or keep to the straight and narrow path, giving them the simple version of everything that won't require much more than my 4th grader had to learn for her standardized tests, plus an introduction to the various distributions, pass them, and call it a year.
(Note: I've taken Stat at the undergrad and grad level, and watching the people squirm with the weird stuff is the best part. If you can avoid squirming yourself.)
Without all of the UK taxes, gas would be 53p/liter.
That was back at the end of February when gas was $3.77 per gallon in California. Gas tax is about $0.68 of that (35c CA gas, 15c CA/local sales tax, 18c federal), so $3.09 actual gas cost.
That's $0.82 / liter or (wait for it) about 52p per liter, or nearly exactly the same cost for gasoline.
Excuse me while I grab my bullhorn and get a train ticket to NYC.
No, that creepy footage in films is what FX departments are for - and they do it far more artistically.
This is bringing all the creepy remote monitoring shit to your local and federal law enforcement departments, along with every other eye-in-the-sky system in use by government and industry.
If I sit in the middle of the theater, and I hear a sound directly overhead which is occurring the program, it will be directly overhead. If I'm on the right aisle, though, it will appear as though it is off to my left. Opposite for the left.
Maybe that's still more accurate than just surround, though.
Okay, so maybe that was if you had a million dollars.
Still...your chances are arguably better now than nearly any other time in your life. (I didn't say they were good, just better than they will be when you're 40, statistically speaking)
It's funny they talk about not being connected to major crime databases - your employer would have a local copy that would be used for building access. Sure right up until they passed it off as part of your background check they'll run on everyone now. All part of your 90 day probationary period!
How often do you find a bluetooth capable printer in a business office (or a hotel for that matter)?
I'm not going even attempt to defend apple's f'd up printing requirements (and lack of official support for a client passthrough), but that seems like a pretty rare case.
More importantly, they have to determine how valuable the payload is. At NASA the value approaches infinte, as opposed to say, coal miners or automobile passengers, where the value is somewhere in the 6 to 7 figure range. A great suit adds one more tolerance to the fault chain. Otherwise, you're just looking at a g-suit to make it through launch - source it from military contractors without the red tape for a grand or two. TFA, otoh, looks to be talking about actual EVA-capable suits.
Absolutely. And that's why we oppose them getting the bomb (aside from the fact that their president is batshit crazy), too.
I didn't say is was right, or proper, or in the best interest of world peace, or...whatever. We live in an imperfect world. I don't have to like it, but i do have to live with it. The sooner we get over the whole "good guy never breaks the rules" bullshit and realize that the "bad guys" will always break the rules, the sooner we will be on an even footing. The challenge is determining which rules to break and which ones to keep for your own moral sanity.
Nice grandstanding. Have you seen the Planet Earth series? I'd say that's probably better than "military grade" video. Actually, there's a lot of stuff out there better than military grade. Get over it.
Aside from being able to map out things from the comfort of your Abbottabad living room using a single source instead of doing regular old recon (it's not hard, or particularly obvious), there's no change except a perceptual one. He is correct that it is effectively impossible to secure every location. A better plan would be to build in the redundancy that should have been there in the first place. If my power goes out - way out in the country - for a week, it sucks to be me, but the 30,000 of us can manage. If power to the east coast goes out for a week, that's really, really bad. Perhaps you should consider a more robust system that is less prone to single point failures?
I've only ever seen my daughter use the front cam, and that was the first day we got an iPad when the photo booth seemed like so much fun. She facetimes on her touch with a friend who moved to another state, but I suspect that's mainly because it's a touch and doesn't have an embedded audio-only client.
Seriously - aside from the first week or two of "ooh - look what I can do," is video chat a really useful function? OTOH, I use the camera on the back of my tablet to take pictures (i.e. photocopy) stuff in meetings all the time. Maybe it's a business vs personal thing.
The pacific portion of WWII ended because we annihilated two cities - civilians and all - and threatened to to turn the island of Japan into a wasteland. War sucks, and shouldn't need to exist, but it does. Good? Bad? Think of it this way - do you want to be the country that doesn't have nuclear weapons because they're "against the rules," or do you want to have them because - rules or not - people are much less likely to fuck with you if they know you can destroy them?
Monsanto shouldn't be allowed to assert rights on second generation seeds. If they want to protect their GM products, they need to make them sterile.
Imagine if a company used their patented method to modify your genes to fix a genetic defect in you. For $100,000 they cured your diabetes. Then what would happen if they asserted that you owed them an additional $100,000 for every child you had, and every grandchild born within the patent term? If you didn't pay per child, and they were found to have the fixed gene, you owed them $150,000 each.
I want to know if the Laszlo in this story also has an underground room where he prepares and sends in entries to the publishers clearing house sweepstakes. And who's dorm room closet does he come out of?
Just tell them you're working for Senator Bob Dole. He takes out that much cash every couple of weeks so that nobody can track what or how he spends his money.
You have no idea what it means to have a truly rich app environment if you think everything is baked in. Does it have a piano keyboard? How about a pitch pipe? A HP48GX emulator that can run HP48 software? A plumb? A spideroak interface? Interactive, real-time weather sat? SquareUp credit card client? Sony camera wifi photo transfer software? Audubon or Peterson field guides for birds? HUD for golf with rangefinder and terrain map? Offline, turn-by-turn mapping/routing software?
That's just a quick flip through my iPhone on stuff that I use on a regular basis that isn't "core" functionality on anything I've seen.
I have an iPhone because, when I switch from WM6, the Apple store had the best range of apps - including a bunch of music stuff that just didn't exist in the Android world. Now it's probably a tossup between Android and iPhone, but with $100-$150 in apps I'm less likely to switch just for the heck of it. I'm certainly not going to take a huge functionality step backwards.
They didn't have laptops, back then you insensitive clod.
However, if they did I wished I'd had one. Would have come in handy when I was hand-translating my assembly code to machine language on a legal pad before entering it. (6502 processor, to be exact).

Will it though?

"Sancoff said that what’s in the patent filing isn’t quite how it works."
That should be forwarded to the examiner and the book closed.
Okay, so maybe that was if you had a million dollars.
Still...your chances are arguably better now than nearly any other time in your life.

Something you are. This is just one of three.

Yeah, but can you imagine having to commute in from Hawaii? I mean, if you think Fredrick is too far away...
Choose two.

Well played, sir. Well played.
Let's stay on topic - this was not obvious to a technical skilled in the art of internet identity obfuscation?

Just tell them you're working for Senator Bob Dole. He takes out that much cash every couple of weeks so that nobody can track what or how he spends his money.
The money is in retirement and institutional accounts. That's why there are so many people who are filthy rich from "working" Wall Street.
What, exactly, do you think everyone on Wall Street is actually doing? Of course it's a con game.
You have no idea what it means to have a truly rich app environment if you think everything is baked in. Does it have a piano keyboard? How about a pitch pipe?
