yes, they are harder to get. When I got my drivers license, I had to have 16 hours of driving lessons, and I believe just as many theory lessons and I think that number has gone up. It cost around 2500$ to get the license 20 years ago and I didn't fail a test, not the official test or the ones the driving school had. Then I had to go to the written test and then the actual driving test(I did end up having 4 extra driving hours because there was a shortage of police officers to take the driving test with me, so I had to wait 1 month and needed to keep the few skills I had fresh in my mind). The written test was kind of like multiple choice where you saw a picture and then should tick off anything from 1 to 5 things. Some of them were really hard because you had to know what they wanted to tell you with that crappy picture, like,oh, I have to be aware that the road turns, but not the cyclist in this case because he is on a bike lane separated by grass. and then 5 pictures later I have to be aware of the cyclist because the bike lane was not separated by anything but a white line and iirc they called that "the equipment of the road" that I had to be aware of, which also sounded weird before translation.:)
And they had their trick questions too. In none of the pictures it was OK to use the horn.:D
Their licensing suck, try to build your own cloud with Oracle products in it, you can't it becomes too expensive, and impossible with vmWare 6, but you can buy access to THEIR cloud for much less. Someone should take them to court for it. Fuck Oracle.
I can only speak from the view of my small european country. The ISPs got a lot of bad press from their "up to" claims. I don't know if there's actually laws against that sort of advertising now but their sales pitch here in DK has changes, at least with my ISP and they have stopped advertising "up to", I think they only will guarantee 20/5. I got a chance to test it just last week were I was about to upgrade my line. Now they only sell what they know I can get. last year(before I cleaned up my installation and removed a lot of wireing), they would only sell me a 40/10, but connects at 45/12. So I called them to change the plan and they tested my line and saw that they now could run 50/10 on it and when I asked into it(that I got 45/12 when instead of 40/10) he said that most likely I would get 55/12, but they clearly would not promise it and I had to drag that answer out of him, and they didn't sell me a 60/10. I later tried their online form for changing my line and it seemed to do a new connection test and even though the order page had selections up to 100/20, I could only select 50/10 in the order form.
But apparently this is not how all ISPs across the EU operate yet.:)
Interesting, are there any channels left interested in showing anything that isn't scripted reality shows anymore? I don't live in the US but it seems like a world wide trend when I got rid of cable TV a few years back.
If it is a small house or it's a apartment, it usually goes in the bathroom. If it's a larger house we usually have what would be the "mechanical room" which is a room with the back entrance of the house that contains washer/ dryer, furnace, a large freezer etc and it's where people enter the house if they are really dirty for some reason.:)
I have seen this before in american houses, but never understood it. Why put the washer and dryer in a closet in a room where they can annoy everyone? Must be a cultural thing. Newer models of your appliances also insist on playing small tunes to notify you that they are done, as if the deafning silence wasn't a clue.:) A energy efficient washing machine seems to take much longer to wash so I would guess that it would be even more annoying for longer periods of time. On top of that american appliances are LOUD, VERY LOUD! makes no sense.:D
Why not put it in the bathroom or mechanical room? The bathroom is already a wet room so any leaks from the washing machine would be less of a problem.
Well, come to think of it, it must be a cultural thing, that noise is acceptable. I have also been surprised by how much noise you can get a central HVAC to create.:) If it's not the air fan, it's the compressor outside on it's own concrete slab, being audible across half of the house.:D
if so, meh, not that funny. if not then shut the fuck up, morons. Jesus fucking christ. How will people ever get any work done if this is a fucking issue?
I feel that I does not often seek out new music anymore although I do come across new stuff I like from time to time. However the complete lack of dynamic range usually makes it a short relationship. I have CDs with music from the 40 years ago with more range than new music. (Yes I know cd wasn't around then) But beware of new remastered versions of old music as they like to butcher that too:(
I has been about 6-7 years since I was in Turkey. The hotel I was staying at was a regular 3 star hotel. They had a backup generator in the back alley which they seemed to share with the neighbor hotel. The power would go out once or twice every day, mostly only for half an hour. Sometimes in the middle of the night by noise from the generator and my AC starting again. When I arrived late at night at the hotel, I noticed that the power distribution boxes were quite hot when you was leaning against them. Also some of the local transformer stations were out in the air directly by the sidewalk, shielded only by a minimal amount of chain link fence. It seemed like they had some issues with sizing the infrastructure. But I had a pleasent stay there so no complaints from me.
That you need a cookie so that Facebook can remember that you don't want to be tracked.
Of course that cookie could contain a single non-unique value that states, do not track me. But of course that Facebook doesn't really care about privacy can't come as a surprise to anyone.
There's a big difference between dead and dead dead. Only dead is slightly alive. With dead dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.
I experienced the same with a Danish DNS company 15 years ago. I came up with a good name and short, never registered before. Filled out the form and paid with credit card, only to have it rejected the next day because it all of the sudden already was registered by the same registrar but to some odd company I could not find any information on.
I could find sprites and other graphics on my C64 just by looking at a ASCII dump of the memory. I could also locate music by Rob Hubbard by the looks of the ASCII dump. Ah, the memories.
I still can replace the brakepads and discs. Change the oil and things like that. But that's about it. Currently I have a problem with the alarm going at random moments if I lock it. And it is impossible to do a proper debugging. I finally found a unofficial source to get the repair manual so I can look at it but I will have by trial and error, bypassing one censor at the time.
When all the electronics starts to break down I fear it will be expensive in man hours.
I agree, I used to buy 1-3 apps/games pr. month. some for a dollar other a little more and a few more expensive. Now I stopped playing games on my phone or tablet because I am sick and tired of the virtual coin-up machine that is has become. I don't mind paying for the games I play, but I refuse keep paying for it.

All there's left I guess is youtube.

Indeed, I have reached Hunter239 on my password now. It sucks having to change it every week.

Because only criminals use encryption, you know. :-D
I've got 2 of them. I think I saw the first ones about a year ago here: http://www.prolys.dk/da/produc...
and now you can even get them in some hardware stores: http://www.bauhaus.dk/led-paer...
So basically,,, eeeeeeh ,, what you are saying is, don't be a dick.

I think the anti-drug warriors are more interested in the money that are to be made from "fighting" drugs and locking people up.

I have 4gb in my IMac (although just a 720gtxm) . I am not a gamer but Final Cut Pro uses the gpu when analyzing or altering video content.
I had a problem with th OS X version of steam. Client updates failed when placing the program in a different folder than applications.
I am sick and tired of people with their stupid religions.
