My idea is that it grows in several directions simultaneously in 3D space from a single point, similar to how one can jump and fall, move forward/backward and side-to-side in either direction. You might think of it as a web. Obviously there could be some connections between two seemingly unrelated parties such as mutual friends may who don't know they're mutual friends. Oops. I guess I've been thinking about the Xanadu project a bit too much lately, and how it could relate to social networking.
I prefer the term 'fractal dipping' because I like to think of it like a tree. 1 person with 90 branches. Those 90 branches each split into their own 90, which each split into their own 90,
You get the idea.
I think that's the subtle point being made. Unfortunately, whether you take those classes or not, if you don't want to remember something or it simply seems unimportant, you won't remember it most likely.
I can only presume that Waldo has been found and is now in prison. I can't think of anywhere else where a guy might wash another guy, who is already washing another.
Sausage, anybody?
Probably not very well yet, but touting safety for pedestrians as well as other drivers is one way to say, "We're not stopping this quest just yet." Winter is approaching in the U.S. where it seems a lot of the testing is done, so I'm sure there will be questions answered w.r.t. weather such as blizzards and heavy rainfall. I'm fairly certain the latter hasn't been tested much either, so a car won't notice a mildly flooded street where tires can start to spin. In that case, the autonomy would need to be suspended to allow the driver to actually drive. I would rather not think about how it would work on more heavily flooded streets like the one that killed my friend's car one rainy night a few years ago. In his defense, he was going down a hill around 23h00 (11:00 P.M.) at night with no street lamps, so he thought he was merely driving through a normal flooded road rather than getting his undercarriage buried in water.
Given the fact that wi-fi is so predominant these days and the fact that several access points are left unsecured as well as the fact that any particular access point routes to one of a number of IP addresses belonging to the same subscriber, an IP address is not a reliable way of determining who actually downloaded things illegally.
I love your point. Seriously, who cares about sources? It isn't like anybody cares whether or not the US financial deficit is getting better. Just omit that minus sign in the result of calculations, and it's suddenly wonderful. Then when it gets reported to the press, there's no need for any sources for that "overnight" fix.
Fair enough. I agree that it could be done. However, the feature isn't presented visually in an inviting manner. There is no dedicated panel/dock item reserved specifically for such applications. If you don't have any pinned apps, it's just another taskbar with Quick Launch items, which I always disable due to lack of personal use. How do you know you can pin an app there when all you have is a taskbar and no pinned apps anyway? Compare that with GNOME Shell and OS X, which all have an area that is specifically designed for you to launch an app and add/remove items as you see fit. To me, those areas scream for customization. A taskbar on the other hand does not.
Your point is valid; the feature is there. I'm just saying that it isn't inviting enough, so uninviting or perhaps familiarly loathed that in fact it completely escaped my recollection.
The GNOME developers did the same thing with GNOME Shell (GNOME 3). With Windows 8, I was hardly able to do anything, and it took forever to figure out how to use it, nevermind trying to actually get back to the Start Screen. Immediate -1. GNOME Shell? It's different, but if it wasn't for the single "Activities" button, I probably would have been doing the same thing. Additionally, a list of favorite applications (such as you'd have in a dock, which is visually similar to GNOME Shell's "Dash" feature) is really useful in terms of productivity. I wonder if the Windows team will ever get that part right.
I'm not saying you're from the US or anything, but the US does the same thing. We just use the term "patent infringement" rather than "antitrust." (note: that's an analogy, not a pair of synonyms)
But for every 9 yahoos in the c++ class, there is one guy who gets it and who asks great questions that make me have faith in humanity again.
That's the point in being a teacher, whether you're a tutor, a professor, a fellow student or even just someone helping out in whatever way you can: to make a positive impact in someone's life, however small it may be. I hope you continue to do this despite your frustration. Thank you.
As for the issues related to your frustration, have you tried adjusting how you teach? Make a coding standard of curly braces and later explain that control structures don't need them if the control structures have single-line bodies. I'm not sure about the issue with a, b, and c=a+b. I see nothing wrong with it other than not knowing the values of a, b and c, which makes the initial value of c irrelevant.
Sometimes I wonder, what if we just forget about the whole privacy thing.
Even more, not forget about it, but go completely the other way: record everything, make everything a matter of public record. What you ate for lunch, what Mitt Romney put in his tax records 10 years ago, what the mafia boss gave to your elected representative last month, what you were watching when you masturbated in your bed last night.
I'm not entirely convinced it's a good idea, yet I can't help wonder. The problem right now is now the loss of privacy, but the selective loss of privacy - that certain people know certain things about other specific people. What if everybody could know everything about everyone - nothing hidden, nothing closed, everything 100% open, everywhere, all the time.
Sure, it'd be great to know that you slept with your boss' now 18-year-old daughter for the first time last night, the night of your 2-year anniversary and her birthday, especially if I was your boss who didn't even know his daughter was dating anybody, nevermind an employee. Complete public knowledge is not a good idea in such a case, wouldn't you agree?
While I'm a big Linux advocate (read "Microsoft hater"), I do not think there is harm in this as long as there is an option in the installation program to turn it off. Debian provides such a feature known as its "popularity contest" to determine which packages are the most popular. You can choose to either enable or disable it at install time. If you decide to change your mind later, you simply install/uninstall the popularity-contest package. If it is an opt-in choice like Debian's popularity contest, I don't see why it's such a big privacy issue so long as Microsoft doesn't mislead people by saying it helps to prevent malware infections such as viruses and trojans. After all, it's merely a way to submit information about installed applications to Microsoft and does nothing to prevent such infections.
I think you meant "standardized" rather than "widely supported." Objective-C can be considerably faster than C++, and the GNU compiler collection (GCC) does provide an implementation of Objective-C. I'd rather use that than C++. However, C++ is standardized by ISO/IEC whereas Objective-C has no comparable formal standard other than the documentation available from Apple. In addition, Objective-C technically has no formal libraries whereas C++ has , , etc. Simply put, C++ is a better choice if moving to an OOP language, even if the features used in the GCC source cause it to build and run more slowly.
Why use English when there are 10,000+ characters in Chinese. Pick a another language or symbol if you want.
Combine that with the order you write/draw the character on a touch pad, that's countless combination.
What do you mean by "the order you write/draw the character on a touch pad?" After all, how does one encode that information? "I draw stroke 2, then 4, then 5, then 1, then 6, then 3, then 8, then 7, making my password 24516387?" How do you remember the order without writing it down and labelling...and praying that you don't make a mistake when typing it. And regarding such characters, there is no guarantee you will always use a computer that can display them in the first place...
Sure, the implants were actually highly advanced prosthetics, but the idea is still the same: the merging of electronic devices with human bodies. So...who's up for some cyborg action?;P
Mainly, and Slashdot's Slash bears witness to that, the problem is "featuritis". Gnome and KDE people are trying to follow the Emacs way; some users, me included and perhaps Linus, want a desktop which evolves like grep, faster and more mowerful and yet striving to keep it simple.
That's also not the case with Xfce, I think, but we're getting short of tried simple desktops...
Agreed. Give me Emacs when I'm hacking away at some of my own source code, but for something quick like editing a config file or changing a small bit of source code , Vim is my choice because it tends to be faster.
Xfce is somewhat slower on my computer, though not nearly as slow as KDE 4 is or as slow as Gnome has always been for me, regardless of my PC, which is why I use LXDE.
LXDE naturally...or perhaps Enlightenment or Fluxbox or Blackbox or FVWM or Afterstep or... Seriously, he will choose something that he feels will suit his needs/desires at the time.:P

So fix it. It's Wikipedia after all.
Fuck that, I want my Gundanium
Supposing that this did in fact happen (despite the fact that Gundarium came first), it'd be amazing. Now about those Minovsky particles
