No, but this insane Tea Party bullshit is being embraced by the Republican party.
Anti-taxation. Pro-Constitution. Gosh. The insanity. Next they're going to start claiming people have the right to make their own decisions and the responsibility to accept the consequences of their actions. Crazy talk. Who would coddle us then? What would we do without laws specifically written to reward some segment of the citizens and penalize other segments? Next thing you know, there'd be dogs and cats living together.
My district (in the United States) has been using partially electronic voting machines for a long time. The ballot is a big sheet of somewhat stiff paper. You vote by marking it (with simple lines) using a black felt tip pen. When you're done, you feed the ballot into a machine that scans it. If it finds any errors, then it beeps and pushes the ballot back out. At that point, you have the option of reviewing your ballot and correcting it, getting a new ballot, or pushing an override button to accept the ballot as is.
The ballot scanner is attached to a large bin. When the ballot is accepted by the machine, the ballot drops into the bin, and the voter-tally increments on the front of the scanner. I assume, but don't know for a fact, that the election tallies are done by the machine and that the paper ballots are there for auditing and recounts.
So, it's electronic with a paper trail. I don't see any need to improve on the system. I think the pure electronic system is both pointless (solving a problem that doesn't exist) and far too prone to manipulation.
The UN can be, like Obama, both corrupt and ineffective, and diabolically genius at the same time.
Conservatives really need to fix that problem. Liberals dealt with their equivalent insanity regarding Bush by creating puppet masters. Karl Rove seemed to be their favorite.
A decade or so ago, there were a string of thefts in the neighborhood I lived in. When the stereo was stolen out of my truck (doing a bunch of damage in the process), I called the police. They had no interest in coming out. Not to check for fingerprints, take photos, file a report... nothing. But I was certainly welcome to go in and file a report. Since my insurance company didn't require a police report in order to cover the theft, I didn't see the point in going in to file a report.The same happened to the next door neighbor when he had theft and property damage. However, when the cop across the street subsequently had his car broken into, a couple of squad cars showed up. They took fingerprints. They took photographs. They investigated.
I'm not saying that's how *your* department handled things, but it is how things were handled in the city I lived in (a suburb of ~400k people in a metro area of ~4 million). Honestly, after I got over being mad about the disparity in service, I actually thought it was fairly amusing/ironic. Had the police department not ignored the other crimes, they might have prevented one of their own from being subjected to the same.
For one Bluetooth file transfer such as taking an picture and transferring to another phone (not all phones have email).
So, essentially you don't consider email to be basic functionality. The thing is, I do. Aside from that, why not just send it via MMS? Or is that another example of something that other phones don't have that you don't consider to be basic functionality? (In the interest of full disclosure: I'm still using the original iPhone which doesn't have MMS support.)
fair number of studies which show that birth order DOES make a difference in the personality of children
I think you're confusing traits that develop over time with innate personality traits that are there at birth. The latter are those that the OP was referring to. Unless there's some sort of genetic memory in the host as to how many children have been conceived, it's impossible that the innate personality is influenced by birth order. If it were, then I would expect to see hair color, eye color, and height (to name a few characteristics) also influenced by birth order.
Every child comes with a (mostly) unique personality. Nearly everything that you thought knew about raising a child goes out the window as you learn to adapt to this new individual. Treating children equally is a practical impossibility. Treating them equitably is the best you can hope for.
Are you sure they're paintings? I was going to respond in a similar vein to the previous poster about mock-ups being a bit old school. However, as to them being paintings, the craft renderings look like they came out of CATIA or similar.
You need to look up the correct definition of the word "shall". It does not mean 'must'...
Awesome. I'm going to point to your post every time one of those tools in the test group tries to tell me that I'm not meeting one of the software requirements. "Dude. It says 'shall' -- it's not like I have to do it..."
It's articles like this that make me wonder whether kdawson is trying to change the color of his stripes, or whether he's just pulling an ACLU: i.e., taking that 1 out of 100 cases that are the polar opposite of the normal agenda just to get street cred with the uninformed masses. "Well, I don't normally agree with the ACLU... BUT... one time they took this case..."
I'm beginning to think that kdawson is just an account running a cron job that pipes Apple submissions through a perl script matching on negative keywords and then automatically publishes if the match count goes high enough. Really. What an incompetent tool.
It is a matter of time until they develop a specific chip to attack the smartphone market, like they developed Atom to counter the rising MID market, or Centrino to counter Transmeta years before.
I find this confusing. Centrino was a marketing ploy -- essentially saying "use these chips in combo for best wireless laptop performance." Did you maybe mean Celeron? If so, isn't Atom just an embedded Celeron? Even so, I still have no idea what Transmeta has to do with this (a virtualization chip, essentially). Unless you're looking at the Unobtanium as having similarity.
at the moment I'm a consultant in a large company, where they put "ext-" in front of everyone who is not employed by them but works for them
Here's to hoping that you don't become a zzz* in the near future. (yes, I'm pretty sure I know the company -- I too have been an EXT-). And you know, God bless Outlook's inability to do a substring search in the damned address book. That always makes it fun to find someone. "Hmmm... well, that didn't work. Maybe they're an EXT-. Hmmm... nope. Ummm, typo? Gee. Did they add some new prefixes? Oh - yes. There we go. GOV-. Doh."

Now that you've recognized your problem, you're well on the way to solving it. I would suggest googling for deprogramming services in your area.

Any job that requires a High School transcript is most likely advanced burger flipping.
Damn. That's got to be one of the best trolls I've seen in ages. You're gonna need to get a couple of extra stringers to handle the whole catch.

MacPaint's SLOC is just under 6,000. Sketch is just over 2,000. So, umm... you're probably right.
The bulk of this site conflicts with your hypothesis. Sadly, I feel like I'm watching a trainwreck -- can't seem to take my eyes off of it.
And here I thought merry-go-rounds were still the gateway drug of choice. I guess I'm showing my age.
What a great idea. And they could market it under a clever name like "time-of-use"or something equally catchy.
Jeez. Did you guys forget to take your sarcasm recognition pills or something?

Now you're just being silly. Requirements? Standards? Reality? I scoff at thee mere mortal.
Thanks for holding back and only giving us the humble version of your opinion. Way to keep that arrogance in check!
