I can't believe whoever wrote the original code didn't catch this. It seems pretty database 101 class to me. Even the non-programmers had to take that class at my college and it always taught that you don't base a primary key in a table (or use as a unique ID in code) a value which isn't necessarily unique or can change. It's almost the same thing as not using as the primary data table key a compound key of last name, first name, and middle initial. First of all, it can change. Secondly, it can be repeated. That's basics, people. This isn't too far from that.
Just like there are no proper removal or diagnostic tools for Mac either! Well, that one's actually true. Good luck to all you overpaying, elitist douchebags who bought a mac. Still think you're so much better than everyone else? All I have to say is Abra-cadabra-CUDA-support...POOF, there went your alleged advantage almost a decade ago. It's magic!
The correct answer is: why the hell did you buy a Dell, you idiot? Buy a real laptop! The best 5 with the lowest defects are Asus, MSI, Toshiba, Samsung, Sony and they also have the highest rated support quality.
Effective my ass. Big drug companies want to keep you alive and still partially sick so you pay them your entire life savings. They don't cure anything. They just magically make all the symptoms disappear and keep you alive unless you stop taking them. You think they want to cure seasonal allergies? Hell no! They get a good chunk of my income on allergy meds. They can either make the money once on a cure or once a day forever. Hmm, I wonder.
It's not like recording how stupid and law-breaking the police are will suddenly make the union allow the NYPD to fire them. They'll just whine about monitoring and blah blah blah. It's the same old bullshit as keeping bad teachers around.
In my area, Time Warner absolutely, undeniably is. This is a 15 megabit connection and netflix sometimes drops to extremely low quality after a long time of watching while my ping is still really fast and a bandwidth test was still 15 megabits (with Netflix paused).
Too bad their electrical infrastructure is like a spider web that got caught in a hurricane.
However, this is smarter than it seems on the surface. If you lose 60% of your electricity during transport due to crappy, outdated lines and equipment, it's a hell of a lot better if solar was the source. If it was a CO2-emitting source, that's an awful lot worse. If it's the sun, you really didn't lose anything.
I am concerned about their ability to store the electricity for night time or when it's not sunny. Even the US hasn't perfected that one.
If he's in charge of their awful "software as a service" bullshit, that's DEFINITELY the end of Windows. We'll get a Windows 9 that's so stuffed full of app store bullshit and half the features missing, it will kill the company permanently.
Nooooo, if Konami was behind it all, they'd line up a grid of Dance Dance Revolution pads on the border. They have some very sensitive sensors in them.
When the kinect won't shut up about 2 people being in front of it or won't switch primary users, we just build a small fort around ourselves with couch cushions and tada, complete invisibility. I hope the Koreans haven't developed couch cushion technology.
There's no point in testing it now or trying to form an opinion at the risk of being wrong. D-Wave claims that really soon they'll have a quibit count (or whatever) high enough to break rather difficult encryption instantly as opposed to hours/months/centuries. If it spits out an answer, THEN it will be incontrovertible proof. Until then, it's not wise to say they're faking it or not faking it. I somehow doubt that they hired a mathematician to invent whatever algorithm it took the rest of the world a while to invent after the fact just to fake one possible result set.
That's really only half true. Informed buyers know that a slow charge time (16 hours or so for the Leaf if I recall) is annoying and unusable. Informed buyers also know that extremely fast charging batteries wear out much faster. There are battery banks in some popular cars that cost over $10,000 to replace and have an anticipated usable life of 3 years due to their fast charging time. So what they really need to address is how internal filaments around the charging port break down in most lithium batteries.
I don't know who they got these stats from but they're a joke. Back in reality, Chrome is at 17%, Firefox at 38%, IE at 34%, mobile and other making up the rest. That's what the last and much more accurate slashdot story said.
You're clearly an idiot. I won't use anything Apple makes EVER. I hate them and I can't wait for them to go bankrupt. My opinions of drives goes by an industry standard that's based on reports from every other study ever made saying Seagate is the best.
"It's an easy joke made by Northerners. A dusting of snow shuts down an entire city and hapless drivers white-knuckle their way through a handful of flurries."
It was -15 here yesterday with ice everywhere and more snow than them. We don't close a damn thing even when there's a foot of snow. They need to put on their big boy boots and get the fuck over it and learn how to drive.
If Seagate comes in last, the study is fake. That's my golden rule. If Seagate comes in last by like 10x, the author is actually criminally crooked or technically inept.

There is no difference between NFC, a chip, a magnetic strip, etc. It's just your credit card number supplemented by a PIN.
What's the point this time around? They'll get 80% of the vote if they oppose Obamacare and domestic spying.
It's almost like a website that ANYONE can edit it a really, really stupid, bad idea.
Yeeeeeah, it sounds like we're rolling out an amazing new technology called a debit card.

They're 6th place actually.

Aha, so really they should have 2 lists. One opt-in is the polite one and the other is the "get on the treadmill you bloody fast bastard!" list.

They should fire everyone who makes their awful computers. That would be a great way to start.

Without a hyphen, the story is much more interesting. It could say:
Ultrasound Technique Provides a New Radiation
Free Way To Visualize Tumors
Very interesting.
So why were some of the hikers' clothes extremely radioactive?
