It's not too strange to get worse mileage with ethanol, considering the energy content is less than gasoline.
Diesel has the highest energy content of the three.
Pure diesel or pure ethanol is easiest to optimize the engines for, since the fuel itself is rather pure, so theoretically you could get better mileage that way. Gasoline can vary a lot and is more of a mix of things.
I have multiple devices, my friends have multiple devices.
There's no chat that works from multiple devices to multiple devices reliably. Which confuses me.
Traditional chats only works from one device to another device. There's no server sharing of information.
XMPP goes to only one device once that device has replied. That means that if the receiver is switching devices (goes from PC to phone to leave the house), messages might be lost and there's no history on the phone.
Message carbons tries to solve this - I think - but few clients support it, and even when it works, it doesn't solve the lock problem when leaving the house.
Google Talk is worse, instead of doing a handover to another device it steals the messages and sends you a Google Mail. Yay?
If I could just pick any, I'd set someone who can write a tail-recursive strncpy in C on a whiteboard (and discuss the quirk) without any help at 2/10, and someone that can write/discuss a hardware UART driver or give me an idea of a posix-compatible SNMP SetRequest routine without any help at 8/10. Anyone who has implemented a HTTP server (without using a HTTP server library) in any language would score at least 5/10.
I think lots of programmers that score 2/10 can get work.
What are your 2/10 and 7/10? It's probably not my 2/10.
Or is there an official scale and my google-fu didn't find it?
Also, if the police would take it serious, and there were a risk of getting a SWAT team in your bedroom if you had a stolen iphone, I believe the attraction of owning a stolen iphone would somewhat be a little less.
Any crime the police stops caring about (stolen iphone, stolen bikes - I don't know where the limit is right now - pickpocketing, muggings?), that crime turns into not a crime. It'll be "ok" to do that. And there'll be a lot more of that crime, which means the police will not have the possibility to deal with it. It's a bad spiral.
If the police isn't protecting us, the police get meaningless and the laws get meaningless. It'd actually be better to change the law that iphone theft isn't a crime than to have it as a crime while the police refuse to do anything about it.
What surprised me in this video and in the 5D Mark III 14 bit RAW Video with Magic Lantern video is how low resolution you seem to get from the 5D Mark IIII. It seems rather blurry even in 1080p. I did not expect that. Actually it seems slightly worse than my full-HD car dvr.
I have a long time been angry at my pocket camera (Sony) for not giving me the 14Mp it should have. The image files are that big, but it seems to be blurry and grouped in a way that I can maybe use a fourth of those pixels.
Where does this blurring come from?
If it needs to be there, I can totally see why you would want to use a sensor that is 4x the size of the target resolution.
I have no doubt whatsoever that the Canon 5D is a more useful full-HD camera when it comes to lenses and settings. But I didn't expect the sensor resolution to be that bad, and the effects from it.
Actually I think the biggest issue I have with firefox is that it hangs for a few seconds now and then. I would suspect javascript garbage collection (probably caused by the multitude of addons I have to run to make it useful). Since it hangs completely - even ignores redraw events - it's kind of disturbing.
I got everything neat except the addons that doesn't like to be in the status bar (which I suspect is a problem with those addons) and that the menu bar is hidden under a grey firefox-and-arrow icon. There's probably something clever I should do there.
Too late now. And it's a serious bother to stop Ubuntu to automatically upgrade stuff. (I know it can be done, but come on, I'd have to read a man page or google about it and I rather spend that time getting the old look back if people say it's possible.)
Yet people do it all the time, specifically about creative jobs: Video editing, logo/layout design, software design, architecture, music. "All you did was to draw some lines and add some letters."
R&D usually ends up being "that thing that just cost money", because of idiots/tools that thinks like that. Companies close it down, and get surprised when customers stops buying the same crappy non-developed products that they want to keep selling for 20 years.
You might want to try RequestPolicy as an alternative. It allows script, it just refuses to load anything from a third party site unless you specifically allow it. I like it. (But it's UI is daft.)
I don't get this. Who is using so few tabs that they fit on one horizontal bar?
I usually end up with about 40-50 tabs after some browsing. I need them vertical, and I like to have them to the left. My *android* has a firefox with 35 tabs right now.
Which browsers support vertical tabs without any addon? (Currently using "tree style tabs", fearing 29 will break it.)
DevOps is a new term invented by people that don't really understand tech people to cover everything so they don't have to decide who does what and can bundle everyone with the same title and have them solve whatever tech problems might pop up?
I think that misconception is to make the people with only brawns feel better about themselves.
It's probably quite chocking for them now in this millennium, where geeks more and more rule the world. And turn out to both know computer science, how to start a car as well as disarming and locking someone in less than a second and both making and shooting a longbow.:)

Quick, someone inform the churches. There's lots of money in this.
EU actually have comparably working IP laws. And we point and laugh at your problems.
That is, unless they get something like ACTA through EU parliament. Then we'll have it too.

But this (the topic), I think, is one step worse.
What levels are we talking about?
If I could just pick any, I'd set someone who can write a tail-recursive strncpy in C on a whiteboard (and discuss the quirk) without any help at 2/10, and someone that can write/discuss a hardware UART driver or give me an idea of a posix-compatible SNMP SetRequest routine without any help at 8/10.

It took me a while to realize you didn't mean a quarter of an hour.
A big car corporation - no names - I used to work at had an average speed of 2 lines per hour and team member.
I've been ready for that for years. I just didn't want to pay $$$ extra for that package (came with 'keyless entry' iirc).
I prioritized that my car can park itself and follow lanes using a camera (including that the car complains that i'm distracted/asleep).
Also, if the police would take it serious, and there were a risk of getting a SWAT team in your bedroom if you had a stolen iphone, I believe the attraction of owning a stolen iphone would somewhat be a little less.

I think there's many, many similar stories to yours.
If they don't want civilians do to their job, they should do their job.
What's hard to understand about that?
Mind, It's also disproportionate to fetch iphones with SWAT teams.
These things do not always point to the correct address.
Are you saying that EA has any goodwill left?
I once swore never to buy anything EA again. I should learn to stick to that...
EA has for more than a decade been ruled by the kind of bonus-driven MBA that you talk about. After-sales-support has always been minimal.
But it's not like it's the only company that does that. (Asus, I'm looking at you this month.)

I have a wireless glue gun (Bosch, works excellently).
I have a hard time seeing why I would want a 3d printing pen that wasn't wireless.

I was promised square tabs!

I see. But it does nothing other than adding the status bar back, and even that only put an X and the RequestPolicy flag on it.
I don't see the menu toolbar I had before the upgrade (28), and a heap ton of icons clog the URL/searchbar instead of the status bar now.
The tabs are still rounded, and I want the square ones back. The pinned "app" tabs icons are squished.
I don't get this. Who is using so few tabs that they fit on one horizontal bar?

Does it work with the new Firefox? My normal addons keep breaking every time i upgrade...
Do I get this wrong:
