I would say that if you can complete half of the levels in a week, then it should not feel like a grind because it isnt. It also sounds like it isnt a challenge, and all of the content is high level. Why not just give a intro demo and turn everyone loose at level 50
I drive enough that I know to watch the car in front of the car that I am following. If I was in something like a bus I could look over the car I am following, and not just through the windows.
I hate texting in cars, and even people just talking on phones makes me batty, but getting hit by two busses that are behind you is a hell of a thing to be charged with. This sounds somewhat like the fact that all plane accidents are pilot error. If it was maintenance, the airline is at fault, but since the pilot is dead, you can blame him with no recourse.
If the wreck happened that the car hit something in a different lane and became a stopped object in the wrong location then this would have some relevance, but the pictures showed the car parked on the back of the truck in front of him. I dont care if he stopped or not, that driver was going to be dead.
I havent looked at the GiMP in a while, so I dont know the exact details. Separating the tool menus from the canvas was always an option, but nothing really great until there was room for the tools completely off of the canvas. The working area was the same size and ratio that we had all gotten comfortable with.
I am glad to hear that at least a few people make their GUI fit the new aspect better. I generally hate the new ratios for anything except movies, which is almost everything I do on a computer.
heh, Im not that old... Linux existed, but the Gimp was entirely useless at this time. Hell, Linux wasnt so great, at least not for people who had anything else to do with their lives except bang away at the installer all night long. It was still better than NT once you got it running though.
I was doing quite a bit of work in photoshop when widescreen monitors were first appearing. I was happy to be able to undock the menus and place them to the side on the new real estate that the widescreen gave me. My canvas was free for me to work. I havent found many other apps now that allow the interface to be removed, and everything on these damn monitors is compressed. The new ratio isnt new anymore, but no one has decided to actually make things usable within the available size.
the pay scale question failed this idea as two numbers were sufficiently close, but this is how i have always done well on multiple choice tests. Test taking is a skill also.
I have also found versions 100, 200, 300, 400 , and I think 500. I was hoping to find a different pattern to the wonderful banter he provides, but no, just the same format over again. I was truly amazed when I was first trolled by this amazing contributor, but then I found I was just being fed a formulaic troll, with only 3 different patterns of attack, and a few variables to spice up the form. I am not even sure if it isnt a test of a script.
agreed. As soon as I saw this was an IT department of one, I could tell the exact amount of care that management has on getting things like this corrected. These things are in place because management does not want to provide what is needed. If they only want to pay for band-aids, that is all they will have.
Present a quick hit list of what is most bad, and how much it will cost and how long it will take to correct. This will get lip service at best, and then witha clear conscience spend your working days getting paid to find a new job.
no one really agrees to it. You either do it, or dont get the tickets. There are many other fees already stacked on, and if there was a $1.50 fee for service , plus a $1.50 fee for tickets, plus a $1.50 fee for using the web site, plus a $1.50 fee for picking up the tickets, eventually people would notice, so they buried one of them without telling anyone that they were paying fluff. I havent used ticketmaster in a long time because of this... when the face value is half the cost, something is wrong. I call the venue directly to avoid the nonsense, and if I cant get around it, I contact the performer and let them know how I feel. It may not help, but it might.
actually, the company is very worried about becoming only a carrier, and not having any products. The people putting products across AT&Ts network are making piles of cash, and AT&T wants in on it. They are suffering from the big company issue of having too many pieces. The wireless division here is totally separate from DSL and home lines, which is separate from innovation. The issue with innovation is that a big company runs more on politics than ideas, and will never be nimble enough to truly innovate. There are constant products floating through that are copies of successful outsiders, just to try to keep up and not get buried as just a carrier.
The lab culture still exists in places, but getting focus from such a huge entity that wants to be run by MBAs and lawyers will always be tough.
The small donors are only really good for advertising before being elected. I found it very interesting that Obama bragged so much about the changing face of politics while he was running for president, and collecting massive amounts of small donations from young crowds, and then last week went to wine and dine with the ultra-elite in New York to raise cash while the OWS protesters are getting rolled up in a fairly obvious nationally coordinated effort ( using local cops as muscle ).
OK, I think I have this figured out. You must have just learned the "high comma" and the proper use of your you're and your, and have this compulsive need to show off. I do think that you need to find more examples of proper use so everyone doesn't find this so formulaic.
this is actually interesting. The entire idea of cap and trade is that a maximum is allowed if we count every business everywhere. How would cap and trade not also fall victim to this stream? Does this idiot proclamation apply to everyone who thinks this is a good idea?
I once had upper deck seats to a Greg Maddux game, where I was lined up directly with home plate, the mound , second base, and the center field distance marker. I was behind a camera well that wasnt in use, so there was no obstruction at all. I was looking straight down, and could possible call balls and strikes better than the ump. This was an amazing way to watch someone who has that level of control.

this is really just an ad for bucky balls at thinkgeek
true, but the before and after comparison capabilities arent nearly as strong of a selling point now that they are the same picture.

glad we dont have to hold down ctrl-f8-shift to prove that we actually read all that. Otherwise it may be legally binding.
I am rich. I am fivemillionbux less poor than everyone else.
I am sure that is a great comment, but as soon as I saw a big block of text that started with "blah blah EULA", I just scrolled right past.

yes, but it is nice to know that all of your expectations for the first 26 minutes are incorrect.
I think the students worked for free . This was my first thought also. The $200k would barely pay for space and materials.
no no no ... these are great fun.

i went to go read about this and before I could change context from slashdot a youtube caught my attention ... and is that a shiny thing?

yep, go here, these guys take stats to an entirely ridiculous level.
