I use a tiny credit union that probably won't have this for awhile. That said, when grandma mailed us a check for five lousy dollars a couple of months ago, it would have been nice to have this technology available. Instead, I waited until I got a much larger check from an insurance company before I made the trip to el banco.
If every bank was like Paypal, I could just send her my info and she could send me the money directly. Screw you and your good ideas, Europe!
Does the tiny sliver make up for the lost revenue of supporting a zillion more illegitimate copies? Servers, bandwidth, and support staff are not free.
Aye. When rent is due, I have the courier take the remittance over to the landlord's estate. Due to the horse having his day off on Tuesday, the rent is sometimes a day late.

Noted historian Wikipedia mentions a number of worries in the original design. You are definitely correct about the oxygen, weight, etc. However, uninsulated wire and flammable materials were brought up by the astronauts before delivery. If only they'd been adequately listened to...
Well, Toyota's design team didn't find anything wrong with the accelerator. Surely they don't need to actually test things in the real world?! I mean, we install all our code immediately into production! I can only assume our local hospital does likewise...
They probably should include a spreadsheet layout mode in CSS. Even if it still included all that ugly mess you have to do at least it could do some of it for you -- in the background where it belongs. That would make my life a ton easier. More than half of our applications are glorified interactive spreadsheets. I also wouldn't cry if they managed a way to append data column by column instead of <tr>, <tr>, <tr>...
We write a lot of forms code here with table-ish output. I use a mix of table and div code to make things work reasonably. It's pretty fast and you can CSS the stuff you need to but still guarantee columns will line up the way they should.

Yeah, I haven't seen any awesome examples of why RPN is better than algebraic other than some notion of conceptual purity. There's probably not enough of a gain to make much of a difference...

Ugh, that was the reason I ended up ditching Time Warner for Ma Bell. Roadrunner decided to block inbound port 80 for, like, forever due to Code Red. I complained a number of times. At first all I heard was "Huh, what's that?" Eventually, I got to people who said that was to protect people from Code Red. After awhile, they said it was an "enterprise service" and I could get a commercial account if I wanted to run a webserver from my home.
So I said "screw you" and got my 5 static IPs from SBC.
I have since heard that inbound 80 is no longer blocked on residential cable. However, they made me so angry I have decided to leave them behind. Uverse seems to get the job done, anyway.
You're missing the point. You have to enter a space, carriage return, or some other differentiator for the calculator to know that you mean 2 then 4 not 24. This is not necessary in algebraic notation because it can all be run together. That is why s/he counted the ENTER press.
Right, but I'm not sure that if you created a derivative work based solely on the the public domain novels it wouldn't be legal. Has that been done in court? Lastly, I imagine there are restrictions on how you can use public domain characters in trademarks. E.g., Intel can't keep us from using the letter "i" as long as we're not selling computer equipment that might be confused with Intel's.
While I think Lessig's argument in the SCOTUS was (sadly) wrong, as the court ruled, I do think there could be an anti-perpetuity argument against trademarking a public domain character since trademarks can be renewed forever.
Mostly agreed here though I don't think the continuous-character-copyright issue is as clean cut in law as you make it. Definitely want to see a court ruling on that one (if you have a reference, send me one. My Google-fu not so hot on this issue).
