It seems like this would be a solution to a problem, mainly power.
Granted, it is power already spent by the ship, but is there any reason why it couldn't be shunted back into the system? It seems that it would mitigate the problem of power requirements for FLT.
If you have the Switch Proxy Tool, I strongly suggest you disable it. Caused all sort of issues when upgrading.
If you've already upgraded, right click on the shortcut and run in safe mode, there you can disable it.
YMMV.
That must be my misunderstanding then. I thought all deductions required passing 1% of your annual income. I may be wrong though, it has been nearly a year since I looked at the tax rules.
Does your donation represent 1% of your annual income? If so, then I guess you could use your phone bill, printed out. That said, I have a hard time believing someone only makes $1,000 a year or less would have a cell phone.
A second article states that it usually takes 90 days for the donation to be transferred.
While the phone companies are looking at how to speed this up, am I the only one who believes that this would be a good way for some banks to earn back some credibility? It seems like they could give the Red Cross a 90 day loan to give them the money today, at 0%. Makes them look really good.
First, let me say I agree this should be an opt-in thing. Major websites, such as Wired should be very transparent about this as well.
That said, I'm concerned, (and while I may be off base here) that rather than reporting a vulnerability, Tynt went for profit. Not only can other people use similar techniques (especially since they have a blueprint now) but any patches are delayed that much longer. I suspect it won't be long until someone else exploits this for much more sinister purposes.
Actually, you should be upset.
They are removing the shortcuts from the desktop, not removing the crapware. The thing I don't like is why they didn't compare bit for bit the differences between the optimized and unoptimized versions. The "optimized" version running 32% slower suggests someone doing something very very wrong.
Which the inner geek in me embraces Star Trek but oddly the girlfriend would not go with me to the theater to see so I got it on dvd.
We did go see Twilight god help me got being so whipped.
You read slashdot and have a girlfriend. I think most will excuse you for being whipped.
*Alert* This serial code will have a short shelf life. The original
plan was that it would be valid only today. But the response has been
overwhelming for our server, so that site is not working.
Given that, we intend to honor the serial codes through the end of
October, with the hope that our server will get time to recover.
Please try the registration again tomorrow. We will be putting direct
download links to the full version live on our site shortly, please check
our main page to get a full download.
I hope they are reading and improving TV service too. I mean the fact that they send your local channels through unencrypted qam, but you have to pay for a box to get Sci-Fi in HD blows. Why should I have to do that?
As for the internet, look at broadband reports and repair some of your routers (the ones constantly showing up as problems). Their network topology looks far more complex than it should be and I suspect a number of problems come from that.
More appropriately, the Great WiiFit Experiment seems to correlate with WiiFit building proper habits when exercising. I mean removing 10.8 lbs in 7 weeks is quite impressive.

The use of BMI without any warnings about the flaws of BMI is a little disappointing, but generally it is accurate enough for average people. Still, it is good to be aware of what BMI is, and they don't do anything to help you understand that. ..snip..
Didn't read the manual did ya? It specifically lists cases where BMI won't be accurate. (Children and athletes.) But I do agree that it is strange to put warnings in the manual (which over 50% of people don't read) for a game which is targeted at over 50% of the population.
As a side note, I found the scale to be wildly inaccurate. Apparently I could loose or gain over a pound by stepping off and back on again.
If you RTFA, the fee Apple is pushing is $20 and you keep the music as long as you keep the device. No word on CDs but I would expect that music would continue to play through iTunes, even if you sold the device.
Yeah, it may have been a somewhat poor choice; however, we were working on Linux/Windows and the no fuss cross platform compatibility was very nice.
Besides, (as with most projects) it didn't start out so large. Before the data became a large set Perl worked wonderfully (and the original application was developed in the time it would have taken to build proper parsing code in c).
So there was a case where I needed to create a big recursive data structure in Perl. It could be a hex tree about 8 nodes deep or a binary tree about 32 nodes deep (I say about as some nodes were rolled up into others based on metrics). Anyways, we had about 100,000 items being stored in these trees and I was told to use Perl so that the data coming in could be manipulated in a sane way and we could get some stats on how the data structure performed (memory wise, not speed wise). So, it turns out gathering stats on 32*100,000 nodes is very slow in Perl so I was told to boost performance using inline c.
The difference was well beyond two orders of magnitude. The difficulty? There was very sparse information about following recursive objects in inline c at the time. Perl had references but that didn't translate directly to pointers in c. Even so, it was possible and makes a great story for later. You know, "Back in my day we didn't have all this processor power. We couldn't just follow the reference down in native Perl, we had to translate them references to pointers by hand and still we felt blessed."
When they are decommissioned from military usage, we re-name them to: The hall monitor XL-K. They can roam the halls of schools asking students to "Halt! Present hall pass."
Personally, I've waited for this game for a couple of years. I know, Disney charcters, what could I be thinking? Well, I got hooked on the first game (I didn't know Disney produced the game until I was deep into it).
When I saw the worlds of the sequal, I wanted to try them all out (with the exception of the Little Mermaid world, what's worse they sing in this game) but riding a light cycle and battling the MPC were both entertaining.
Additonally, rather than just playing in the world, you interact with the stories of your childhood (and help them along).
Funny part is, as far as I can tell, this actually has no side-effects. All the code used for the rest of the system is in dlls, this only affects the browser code.
Okay, so this takes a little BS skill, so be warned.
First, you install Firefox and you tell the user to use it as IE is inherently prone to spyware and corruption issues. (In your case you can add in that these issues go away if you are no longer administrator on the local machine.)
After about 2 weeks, copy your own iexplore.exe and open it in a hex editor. Switch the first two bytes in the exe. Then have the victim's login script move the old iexplore.exe and copy the new iexplore.exe into the Internet Explorer directory. (Network shares.) Let things simmer for a while. Eventually, be it windows update or whatever the user will reboot and hit your script. Bingo IE no longer works.
When you get the call you ask the user, have they been using Firefox? When they say no, tell them that you need to take their computer for a day to fix the problems IE has caused. Repeat the process till the user stops using IE.
By making it clear, that the cause for the machine repairs is IE.
Special Note:
This does not work well on CS Instructors or other people who look closely at login scripts. If you find such a person, it is easy enough to shame them into using Firefox by asking "how someone who's obviously as smart as them would ever use IE?"

Really, Tron just sweetened the deal.
