I had a good friend that was very smart. One of the two smartest people I've ever been friends with. He coasted through school and high school. Got an academic scholarship to a top high school. Once he really had to start to apply himself at university he was unable to. He didn't have that work ethic or drive. Has pretty much done nothing with his life.
The other problem watching a movie on one of the free to air commercial networks in Australia is the ads. There are so many that it makes watching any movie on FTA a frustrating and painful experience. Ten's issues are nothing to do with piracy.
I've just moved to Windows 10 for work and and Edge just doesn't run on my machine. It opens and then closes straight away. Googling the problem has shown it appears to be affecting a reasonable number of users. I can't be bothered to spend more than an hour trying to fix it.
Not being harsh but you should actually read one of those history books instead of seeing them. Once Germany failed to conquer the USSR in 1941 it was game over for them. The only thing that the allies did by invading Europe in 1944 was ensure that western Europe wasn't occupied by the Russians. I'm not sure what this steamrolling of Western Europe means since they had already done that in 1940. America was certainly decisive in ensuring that D Day happened and western Europe was liberated but Germany was always going to be defeated by the Russians once they failed to land the knockout blow. I've always wondering that if they had captured Moscow wether it would have one the war for them.
Great post. I've had some dealings with Visa and they don't like Ross Anderson as he keeps poking holes in their security. Here's his attack on the UK Chip and PIN system (EMV).
Couldn't find the IE7 link. I've seen a lot of people apply the previous months cumulative update and complain that this hasn't fixed the problem. You have the apply the current months patch.
I've also found that this resolves the problem. The key thing is to make sure it's the latest Cumulative Security Update for IE. For December this is MS13-097 (KB2898785).
To fix this problem just run the latest Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer - for December this is KB2898785. Once you've run the update, reboot and then the updates will work.
I've had to do this for October, November and December.

A friend of mine had his laptop stolen and something similar configured on it. Here's his talk at Defcon about getting his laptop back. Once he had the IP address he was able to start spying on the new owner and was eventually able to get it back. It's very funny.
I watched a doco on facebook (Inside Facebook) recently and it showed the actual house in Palo Alto. The chimney was fixed. When Zuckerberg moved out it was listed as damaged and had to be repaired out of the bond.
And I thought I was the only one. I can't stand to see 50+ apps listed in no particular order. It's a nightmare to find things. I've had a lot of people comment when they see it that it looks so organised.
In Windows 7 change the icons in the control panel to either small icons or large icons. That will get rid of the extremely annoying grouping and show all the individual icons (like classic mode). This was my biggest issue with Win 7. It use to take me forever to find what I wanted in the control panel. I had to try and guess where MS had put the settings I need to change.
One of the main problems with this solution is your still limited to authentication. It doesn't have a lot grow to meet any new threats or contain features such as digital signing etc. I agree with you that it's certainly cheap and easy. Try looking at http://www.todayszaman.com/tz-web/news-200405-105-visa-kicks-off-pilot-of-passcode-generating-card.html for a credit card that VISA is implementing. It contains a keypad on the back as well as a display. This has the advantage that you can enter the amount you wish to transfer, the account number and your PIN. It will then give you a unique code to authorise this transaction.
I got offered a similar deal with 5% rather than 10% with a small fast growing company. While I liked the company and the job was interesting I had been thinking of moving to a larger city where a lot of my friends had moved. I ended up taking the deal. What the 5% gave me was a nice bonus at the end of each year plus more input into the direction of the company. While I wasn't on the board I was still consulted about all the decision and projects. We also ended up getting aquired so it was a nice pay day at the end of it which helped to buy a house. Looking back I made the correct decision to stay even though it was a difficult decision to make at the time. If overall you like the job and you think the company is worth working for, having a financial stake in it can make a difference. I found that it really motivated me. Good luck with whatever decision you make.
The remote remembers wether the device is on or off. This means when you hit 'Watch Movie' and your already watching TV the remote knows that the TV is on. It would only turn on the DVD player and Stereo. This works well normally but sometimes if you turn a device on by hand eg by opening the DVD tray, then the remote will think that the device is off when it's on. It mainly means that you should always use the remote or remember to turn the device off. I can't speak highly enough of the harmony remote. It's very girlfriend friendly and it's awesome to hit 'Watch DVD' and watch all the devices come on to the correct inputs.
To true. I had to help a friend interstate with some problems. I knew the problem and what he had to do but he wouldn't shut up and follow my instructions. He kept trying to solve it himself even though I was on the phone. I called up his girlfriend while he was at work and we got the problem solved in 5 minutes. She followed my instructions exactly.
"Building expires your session so your refresh doesn't work. You have to log in and then navigate to the page you were having a problem with."
Try using the "ASP.NET State Service". This can be configured in the web.config in the sessionState tag. Using this makes developing in dotnet a lot easier as the session is maintained when you do a build.
The keep was was woeful. I had read the book it was based and convinced my friends to hire it. We stopped watching about a quarter way through and they have never forgiven me.
Ha Ha. I passed out on the couch while watching Ghostbusters. I had only got about 20 minutes into it. I kept waking up and hearing that stupid riff repeated over and over again. Each time I woke I had to decide wether getting up, turning off the dvd and going to bed or sleeping on the couch for longer. The stupid riff eventually drove me to my bed.
One of my mates owned one. It came with a 12A which he quickly replaced with a 13B. Once that gave up the ghost it was back to a 12A. When he'd start it up cold he'd warm it for 10 minutes to "Protect the seals". I wasted about 6 months of my life waiting for it to warm up. The thing could move and handled really well.
One of my friends used to make his X Wing invincible and then fly over to the shield generators(?) on the Star Destroyers. He would then spend 10-15 minutes shooting the generators until the Start Destroyer blew up. He would then complain to us all about how unrealistic X Wing was and in the real star wars a X Wing couldn't destroy a Star Destroyer.

That's why he was appointed by Roosevelt. Joe Kennedy knew all the tricks about insider trading and hence how to regulate the stock exchange.

Spot on. Labour market inflexibility is the elephant in the room.

I got the camera connection kit for my mum. She has no problems copying photos from her camera onto the iPad mini.
