Debt Deal Reached
·
· Score: 1
I'm with your OP on the confusion front - not only is increasing the amount of debt bad enough, but the rate of the increase is growing too, Surely sometime soon whoever they borrow money from (and where do you borrow trillions of $ from anyway - something else I don;t understand) want some repayment. I read on the wikipedia article someone linked that US debt is 90-some% of gdp. How the fuck is that sustainable?
Someone point me to government economics 101 cuz I don;t understand this shit.
why would it only lock in landscape? that would be dumber than a dumb thing that's really dumb.
Of course you can lock the iPad (original or 2) into either portrait or landscape. You can configure the slider switch to be either your mute button or your orientation lock button (you can still mute by holding the volume down button for a second)
I concur. I work in the Financial sector as a web developer in the UK. 35 hours a week Mon-Fri is all I work. Maybe the very occasional weekend on release weekends (every two months) 35 hours is pretty much the norm in our financial industires in my experiance.
Who the hell clicks on fb ads anyway? I just use it to keep in touch with family and friends. I don't use any of those silly apps, and I never click on any ads, heck, I do;t even glance at the right hand side of the browser window.
that wouldn't be at all practical. Why store millions of codes (one per minute for the lifetime of the devce) when very very few of them would be used. I use my RSA token maybe once a week on the days when I'm working from home.
2 minutes spent on wikipedia shows you g how 2 factor RSA authetication works.
Oh I wish I had mod points. I'm fighting this very battle right now in my company (a large insurance co) Devs don't seem to give a rats ass for standards, half of them wouldn;t know an html validator if they tripped over it. Our acceptance tests don't check for compliance, they just check that our pages look good on a list of specific browsers. I'm crying on the inside over my current assignement (DDA compliance on one of our sites; they first step of which is to ensure our pages validate against html 4.01 strict)
"There's no such thing as a book that "nobody owns the rights to," unless it's already in the public domain. Even if it's out of print - somebody, somewhere, owns the rights."
So, my parents, grand parents and great grand parents are dead. I have no siblings. I have no children. I die. Who owns the rights to any works I published?
And our universe came from where exactly? The Big Bang? Where did the energy from that come from? It can't be "Turtles all the way down" At some point, energy must have been created. The physical laws of the current state of our universe implies conservation of energy but that doesn't mean it was always thus.
Why? becauise Skype to Skype is free, anywhere in the world, anytime of day. Your phonecall to your freind in ObscureCountry at peak time won't be free.
I like CCP (Eve-on line)'s model - make the client free and charge monthly fee. No DRM required, and they're making a nice profit still. . Of course, this only works for MMO games and other companies in the MMO genre still shaft us by making us pay for the client (Blizzard, I'm looking at you)
When I read "a 'database driven online distributed tournament system" I immediately thought of the Cases ladder system. Back in '97 I was playing yahoo pool and used cases for our tourmaments, exactly the sort of thing this patent claioms to cover. A quick Google shows that Cases is still alive and well.
This is a prime example of why software patents are so very bad. It's far too generic and obvious an idea to patent. How it got granted I don't know. It beggers belief. To sit on it for so many years before filing for violations is just despicable,
I really hope the judge(s) throw it out of court very quickly.
(V)--We demand that you cannot keep us out. "(Priest)--Who are you? (M)--I am Majikthise [pronounced Magic Thighs]. (V)--And I demand that I am Vroomfondel. (M)--You don't need to demand that. (V)--All right. I am Vroomfondel and that is not a demand, that is a solid fact. What we demand is solid facts. (M)--No, we don't. That is precisely what we don't demand. (V)--We don't demand solid facts. What we demand is a total absence of solid facts. I demand that I may, or may not, be Vroomfondel. (Priest)--Who are you? (M)--We are philosophers.

You should have had Mr Burton, my maths O level teacher. He was brilliant. He was totally passionate about his subject and he was also a fantastic teacher. he encouraged us to think about maths rather than to just blindly follow formulae. I still vividly remember the lesson where he taught us differential calculus from first principles.
He encouraged us to study outside of lesson time and his door was always open during lunch, or after school. almost every one in his class passed their maths O level with at least a B, over half had A's
It's no exageration to say I owe my career as a developer to him and his enthusiastic teaching.
almost all genology programs will support the GEDCOM file format, it's the defacto file layout/data structure for family history. So it should be possible to extract data from all your family's various software packages into the same GEDCOM format and merge them into a package of your choice.
5 people in our house, 2 playing Wow, 2 watching iPlayer and someone else torrenting from eztv - that sweet 50Mbps Virginmedia cable connection we have starts getting stressed. (yes, that does happen a lot!)
We're moving more towards online entertainment all the time (netflix etc) so it's not unreasonable that 100mbps will become the expected connection speed before too much longer.

I was about to say that you can't paste into the screen unlock field - but you can! - and no flashes, or text reveals.
This does however mean that you need the foresight to always copy the password into the paste buffer just before locking your iPad...

That depends a lot on how fast the vehicle is moving.
Is that an African or a European vehicle?
Seriously, how improbable is that?
depends on how hot and how strong your tea is...

We get british stuff ages after it airs in the UK. And the UK often gets our stuff ages later.

Now you're being ridiculous. I suppose that you also want your smart phone to... I dunno... make and recieve phone calls? Ludicrous!!!

You sir may need a new keyboard as your current one is randomly replacing the letter "t" with the letter "d".and is missing out letters sometimes.
