But I can show you a fairly average current example from Denmark:
Nokia 7260 - price: 16 dollars. Minimum cost after 6 months: 218 dollar. Price with no subscription: 276 dollars.
You are bound to that contract for 6 months, then you're free to do what you want. In this case the subscription is 16 dollars per month, and you pay 8 dollars to start the contract.
As to what you get in that subscription, I really don't know - besides you didn't mention what you got in yours, nor do I really care to browse around finding matching contracts.
How would you patch it? Test it for every prime and then add them to the check list? Or would you realise that the design is crap and change the design?
He wants you to change the design, rather than just fix the aparent flaw that 7 returned false.
Why is it mean and stupid to tell people to move on? Their home isn't around any more, and they'll get their insurance to cover the expenses of rebuilding it anyway, so WHY NOT somewhere else? I'm pretty sure they can get the work done quicker as well, as places like New Orleans and Biloxi is going to be choke points for rebuilding in a very long time.
They have work there, you say? Nope, that was blown away as well. Won't be getting money from them when you're not working, so you're as good as fired anyway. The kids go to school there? Nope, they are gone as well.
Only thing keeping you there is basicaly your memories. Which is a really stupid reason to stay in a place where you have no home, no job and no school for the kids.
I don't know the rules for the US, and I can't quite remember them for Denmark (I didn't work with the numbers, but the company I used to work for did).
There are some VERY stringint guidelines for the amount of light each and every workspace must have (this is required by law). This means that if you have two desks in one office, each of those desks much be lit at least as well as specified.
Something like 400 to 800 Lumens seems to come into my mind as the lumination for workspaces. I don't think you'll want to do that with a single bulb.
These must be kept at all times, and I think that covers night time as well, so you can't just settle for natural lighting. Sure, if you're lucky, you'll save a bundle on electricity, but not on the fixtures themselves. And you'll save on cooling, as any kind of electric system gives off heat. And as many people have said, you get more productive employees when they have natural light and not just artificial light.
Of course, your milage may vary with the laws in your area, and they'll definately vary from the lighting numbers I specified.
A male congressmember can be an asshole and nobody complains, but as soon as Senator Clinton gets uppity, you all call her a bitch. Where the even-handedness here?
That's not even near the same thing. For one thing, Hillary Clinton is a woman. And that's also the other reason.
How does that work with iframe? I made a small program to do some fancy stuff with webpages, as they were loaded, and I couldn't help noticing that a LOT of sites use iframes for adds.
Get something from we.track.you.biz/siteA and they set a cookie. Go to an unrelated server who embed we.track.you.biz/siteB iframes, and you're back on their server...
Don't see how blocking 3rd party cookies solves that.
Sure. I can touchtype, and I've been able to do that for the last 13 years at least. But it'd still be VERY handy.
When I'm using a new program, I'd love for my keyboard to show me what keys do what. Hold down shift and a new set of functions pop up on the keyboard. Other modifiers and you get more.
Touch typing is useless when you don't know that pressing Ctrl+Shift+Space will do what you're trying to find in Tools->More->Neat->Macro->Experimental->Do not touch.
Or are you just somehow magically able to know just what each and every key combination does in a program you've never used before?
Odd. I've been able to touch type since I got my hands on a Commodore 64 about 14 years ago (well, it took me a little while to learn touch type), and I've used loads of keyboards in various layouts, both with and without the windows key, and I don't think I've ever hit the windows key instead of something else.
The only times I've hit something I didn't mean to while touch typing, is when I'm using somehting with a changed layout, like laptops with function keys or Macs, where the keys are laid out differently.
I don't know if she can sue for breach of contract. Wether or not she will, would depend on the laws concerning prostitution in the state the date took place I suppose.
(hence the name Robot, from "rabota", meaning "work" in russian)
Not quite.
Robot is a word that is both a coinage by an individual person and a borrowing. It has been in English since 1923 when the Czech writer Karel apek's play R.U.R. was translated into English and presented in London and New York. R.U.R., published in 1921, is an abbreviation of Rossum's Universal Robots; robot itself comes from Czech robota, servitude, forced labor, from rab, slave. The Slavic root behind robota is orb, from the Indo-European root *orbh, referring to separation from one's group or passing out of one sphere of ownership into another. This seems to be the sense that binds together its somewhat diverse group of derivatives, which includes Greek orphanos, orphan, Latin orbus, orphaned, and German Erbe, inheritance, in addition to the Slavic word for slave mentioned above. Czech robota is also similar to another German derivative of this root, namely Arbeit, work (its Middle High German form arabeit is even more like the Czech word). Arbeit may be descended from a word that meant slave labor, and later generalized to just labor. (From Answers.com)

Oh, now I get it - you want to give him a blank sheet, right?
No clue how rebates work.

HRmm... odd. We have 6 month limit, and they are forced to tell you the total cost in those six months.
And we still have 15 cents cell phones.
That's in Denmark by the way.
Yes, obviously you were. I mean, that's why you were on the verge of switching, right?
So, what happened? You found out that the Fat Lady was your mom, and she was schtupping the Fat Guy?
Think of it this way:
int isPrime( long primeSuspect)
{
if(primeSuspect == 2 || primeSuspect == 3 || primeSuspect == 5 )
return 1;
return 0;
}
How would you patch it? Test it for every prime and then add them to the check list? Or would you realise that the design is crap and change the design?

That's the easy part. The hard part is finding a small enough cup ...

Hell, even a water balloon can't be considered "totally harmless".
Now I'm curious ... mostly because 20 seconds of searching on google didn't find anything for me (I'm lazy).
Got any news links to that or those stories?
And remember, that a penny saved is worth two in the bushes. Oh, and don't cross the road, if you can't get out of the kitchen.
And what about the mud flaps?

But close.
