I didn't complain, I observed (in my original comment) that ArenaNet should have realized she was a PR disaster waiting to happen a while ago. I never really got into GW2 and frankly don't really care what ArenaNet does with its employees.
Assuming for a moment I believe you (which I don't), you shouldn't celebrate someone's death. Much less the slow painful death of said someone by cancer.
She publicly celebrated TotalBiscuit's death on her Twitter.
She's an awful person and ArenaNet should've dumped her then, as it proved she's a huge PR risk. Now they've learned their mistake on keeping people who are awful monsters in public while flashing their ArenaNet badge around.
Generally, no. A pilot can receive a report from another plane ahead of theirs on a route that turbulence were experienced, but otherwise clear air turbulence are essentially undetectable.
Hi. Housing prices are going through the roof up here in Oregon, and there's nothing left to rent, primarily due to the huge influx of Californians. People from California move into an area, eating up all the rentals and driving up home prices, which displace the locals from that area into other areas with lower costs, and the cycle repeats.
Stop moving the goalposts. The person you were responding to wasn't making some wild claims that this guy was some messiah that was going to reform anything. He's a patent attorney. He's familiar with the system. He's represented companies who were attacked by patent trolls, as well as companies who sued over technologies they actually developed and sold.
What's novel about him is he's an apparently an uncharacteristically competent and experienced nominee compared to Trump's usual choices!
Here we have living proof of the phenomenon where, when confronted with proof their belief is wrong, people will just dig in further.
Dude, patent trolls by definition are Non-Practicing Entities. Meaning they don't make products, just sue people for infringing on low-value patents. That description in no way describes TiVo or Immersion.
Hey, guess what, Immersion DOES have the rights to "tactile feedback technology." THAT'S WHAT A PATENT IS! That's why Nintendo designed their Rumble Pak to work differently: Immersion had a patent on the rumble method Sony and Microsoft used.
If you don't like patents, that's fine, but that has nothing to do with this guy.
Would prefer a trial where he would be allowed to make his case.
So would Snowden, I imagine. But the laws Snowden would be charged under have no public interest exemption. Likewise, Whistleblower Protections only apply to actual Federal employees, not to contractors (or 'Office Supplies', as we used to call ourselves). So Snowden, in a U.S. court, will be explicitly prevented from 'making his case'. A jury would be forbidden from being allowed to consider it, meaning any such testimony could be blocked.
Are you unclear on the fact that people generally don't use email for the majority of their online communication? Case in point, we're not communicating via email right now.
So to be more clear, T-mobile in particular is getting rid of data caps and they are depriotitizing heavy users when towers are congested.
I'll believe that when I see it. I've never gone over my T-Mobile data cap, but family members on my plan have, and they can tell the moment it happens, regardless of whether or not they're in a congested area: immediate drop to sub-Edge speeds until the end of the billing cycle.
Binge-on isn't a data cap, it's a bandwidth limiter.
Except there still is a cap. Read the fine print. Past certain usage all your data is throttled.
If you think that 10+ phones using DASH, RTSP, etc, to try to stream an HD video (5Mbps+) out of a single 50Mbps LTE tower, isn't going to cause severe problems for everyone else using that tower, then you have a strange understanding of network protocols and video protocols in particular.
Granting your argument for the moment, artificially limiting bandwidth to 1.5Mbps doesn't help a lot. It's not like it's going to suddenly magically allow a tower to support 3x as many users, as there's other factors at play than raw bandwidth. Additionally it doesn't do anything if T-Mobile's crystal ball can't tell you're viewing video. Also additionally, the existing Binge-On has been randomly deciding non-video things are also video, and artificially limiting download speeds.
I'd also like to know where the "money making ploy" is in a system that gives you unlimited video for free if you're willing to stream it at lower, DVD-quality, bitrates.
1) The new plans cost more 2) You can pay more to use the actual bandwidth on your plan 3) You lack imagination. Once consumers are used to the idea of certain services being zero-rated on their plan, the carriers can start charging services for the privilege. If Netflix doesn't use your data cap, and Hulu does, maybe it's not worth keeping that Hulu subscription? AT&T has been very upfront about the fact that this is their end goal: charge both ends of the pipe. They haven't found many takers yet. T-Mobile is making the smarter play: convince the customers it's a good idea first and then the providers will have to come on board.
This argument reminds me of having to explain to junior developers why they don't need to use a binary search on an array size of 10.
Everything you have just said is correct, but none of it proves that data caps are actually necessary to combat congestion. In your theoretical example of an oversubscribed tower, limiting city users to the same arbitrary number of bytes as a rural user with a tower to themselves most of the day does nothing to help. It does make the carrier a lot of money, though.
I happen to know that even getting accepted for a BA at the IIT requires passing one of the hardest university entry exam on the planet.
Okay... based on my 30 seconds of research there are about 33k undergrads currently enrolled across all IIT schools. Assuming for the sake of absurdity they all graduated every year (when in fact, for a three year program less than 1/3 would reasonably graduate in a year), and every single one of them became an H1B worker in the US, that would still only account for half of the ~65k H1Bs issued annually. In reality they probably only make up a fraction of a percent (if any) of that workforce, as if they're that good they don't need to engage in indentured servitude. So the quality of IIT grads is not a particularly useful data point here.
The Motorola Backflip, Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4, Nexus 6, and Nexus 5S all lacked FM chips. With the exception of the Backflip, those are all pretty popular phones, as well..
Step 1: Try to use this book to fight zombies using mass produced consumer electronics starter kits
Actually it's a shame they described the book that way, as that's not all that it contains. It also has details on how to scavenge useful parts out of existing devices (car alternator, disposable camera capacitors, etc.) It's not just Pi and Arduino stuff.
Slashdot Mirror
Have they released any of this improved code to the public? That would be a nice change. Wonder why they're keeping it secret.
I didn't complain, I observed (in my original comment) that ArenaNet should have realized she was a PR disaster waiting to happen a while ago. I never really got into GW2 and frankly don't really care what ArenaNet does with its employees.
Oh sure, but when David Crooks went on his spiel, Bioware immediately responded that he was a former employee and they were disgusted by him.

But once everything is labeled as cancer causing, what does the label even mean?
Generally, no. A pilot can receive a report from another plane ahead of theirs on a route that turbulence were experienced, but otherwise clear air turbulence are essentially undetectable.

But they do have a public API, last I checked.
Who, exactly?

By pardoning them. The Supreme Court has even had a ruling backing up this use of the pardon power.
So would Snowden, I imagine. But the laws Snowden would be charged under have no public interest exemption.

What ToS violation? Multiple accounts? That's gonna take out a lot of people,,,
Citation needed. I'm pretty sure cell phone jammers are in fact not legal for police and anti-terror use.

Yes, I did look.
The Motorola Backflip, Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4, Nexus 6, and Nexus 5S all lacked FM chips. With the exception of the Backflip, those are all pretty popular phones, as well..
And yet of the 5 Android phones I've owned, none of them have FM chips...
