Some early remotes had several tuning forks inside. Pressing down a button would "flick" one of them. It sounds (heh) like that's what you were seeing. A side effect was that occasionally something else in the house would create vibrations on one of the frequencies, messing with the TV.
Many people simply don't know how to describe quantitative comparisons. "Three times faster," for instance. Is that four times as fast? If it's supposed to be equivalent to "three times as fast," then logically "one times faster" would mean "the same speed."
A good rule of thumb is that if your comparison does not contain the word "as", you're doing it wrong. It's not perfect, but it goes a long way.
Chrome is truly awful at opening multiple tabs at once on my mac. unbelievably slow loading times compared to Safari.
Not my experience, for whatever that's worth. I use both, and each has its own annoyances, but I haven't seen a dramatic difference in performance. I keep a lot of tabs open, so a problem there would be a show-stopper for me.
Why the desperation to declare that infringement == stealing? The only reason I can see is to invoke the connotation that stealing has. "Infringement" doesn't sound strong enough, so you want to call it something that does.
You're playing word games. "Theft of service" has a specific meaning, in much the same way that infringement does. But you want snip out the "theft" part and treat as a stand-alone word, so that you can then equate it to stealing. Then you want to tie that back to infringement.. It's a parlor game. Start with any word, then take a reasonable synonym for it. Now find a synonym for the new word. Continue to repeat this game and you can "prove" that black is white.
This. Does anyone think this is going to help them in any way?
I do. It may not help most, it may even help only a small portion, but out of that small portion will come some students that are better educated and better able to help shape the next generation. And that would be a success. Education is always a bargain relative to the costs of not doing so. So what if a bunch of those readers end up on ebay?

Couldn't quite make it all the way through to the end of the summary? I hear you bro.
No, it's a great idea! This way Google will better know what things you buy, which helps them to create a better web experience for you!
That's what I do, except for step 2. For me that's either sell it or donate it.
I'm guessing that you: A) dictated this post, and B) have imbibed several alcoholic beverages.
Wait, your mother named you Mr. Fear? Is your last name Flexington?
Me too. But I've instructed my secretary to generate a fake set of post-it notes if someone comes into the office pretending to be me.
Obviously you lost, but the question is why. Was your expectation negative or did you get unlucky?
But first he'll tell you it's impossible.
The key to happiness is managing your expectations.
"Handshake" is a euphemism.
Pffft. More like 101%.

Spying is a top item and Apple does less of it. They have a simple model - give us a bunch of money and we'll give you this thing we made.
Does it specifically say female virgins? Maybe they get there and it's just a bunch of slashdotters milling about.

That's some pretty fancy copy-paste he's got. It changed all the words too!

Also known as the "I wasn't the only one speeding" defense.
Perhaps the main purpose of that pricing is to convince would-be buyers of new ones that their car will hold its value.

Or at least they think they can, they think they can, they think they can.
the article talks about that.

Is that a good trait for a currency? One that discourages economic activity?
If it comes down to that I need only one gun and one bullet to solve all my problems. I'm checking out.
