This law is such a good idea; it's such a piece of luck for the framer that there are no other devices capable of taking pictures, covertly or otherwise.
Your problem is not with the checklist per se, but the implementation. A printed sheet that doesn't get marked off is merely a mnemonic, not a checklist. If you don't actually check each one off, for example with a pen* or a checkbox on a pda, then you're just using a physical mnemonic, and it's just as fallible as a mental one.
In C++ (for example), the output just comes out on the screen. That's 'magic'. In Java, it is explicit that there is somewhere for the output to go that is not necessarily a terminal/command prompt/bash shell. The fact that learner Java programmers are told that it will be explained later is better than the average C++ class where it is not clear that there is something to explain at all.
According to the quite excellent book "The Big Con", there is a saying among 'grifters' to the effect of "You can't con an honest man".
Pretty much all cons require you to have the 'different light' in your head that you describe so eloquently... thus I am generally not much worried when I hear of people being conned.
There are, of course, cons that no decent human would stoop to (telling old ladies their roof is about to fall in, but luckily, you, a roofer, are passing, and for only $$$$...), but these are not the subject of this article.
how long you've really been working on your flux capacitor
Ah, but once I get it working I can go back and make it the subject of the first ever Google query. Also get myself a really, really low/. uid - priorities, people!
Stupid Mods! Plasmacutter is not joking, Athens really was the first democracy - presuming little details like one (hu)man one vote aka universal suffrage don't matter. And of course, if they do, then the US was very late indeed to the party.
Would it have killed you to clue us in to what Linux is? All I can get from your post is that it is computer related and now runs on cell phones. This isn't a telegraph, you're not paying by the letter, and there is nothing wrong with saying "the Linux Operating System" instead of just "Linux".
In other words, it's where you draw the line. No-one is going to explain the entire world to you, sooner or later you will have to teach yourself, not wait to be taught. Apparently that time is now.
Well, it is for a shop selling knives and forks, or books, where the products are completely different items.
But I rather suspect that Windows 7 will still incorporate code which originated, say, in Windows 98. In software in general there is a substantial overlap in meaning between a "Product Number" and the "Version Number of a Product".
Hell, even billg consistently refers to the product his company sells as "Windows" and refers to different versions. So I think in this instance, small difference.
Biker friend of mine had auto-answer on for a while on his in-helmet mike and speaker. I remember another friend complaining that he called him, it auto-picked up, and all friend 2 could hear was friend 1 going "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"! Friend 1 didn't even realise friend 2 was on the phone.
I closed my macbook without turning it off before I last moved house, and didn't reopen it till the ADSL was sorted - about six weeks later. Still had more than two-thirds battery - probably roughly what it had when I shut it.
My XP machine at work turns off the monitor after three minutes or so of inactivity, and reduces its power usage to zero or nearly zero a few minutes later by suspending itself. As it takes much less time to resume than to boot, I'd be willing to bet that the power used to shut down and reboot is similar to the power consumed overnight in suspended mode.

I'm curious (and don't want to start a war on something so trivial) but what strengths are there for return null?
I don't think you've quite understood...
...should surely be...

That's roughly what my brother-in-law (here in the UK) said to me yesterday, after watching it with his girlfriend.

I have no issue with a bug making its way through to production.
I have an enormous issue with Diebold knowing about it for four years and not recalling their machines and finding a fix.
Criminal charges, surely?

You, sir, are conflating availability and advertising.

You are exactly wrong (IMO, of course).

In Java, it is explicit that there is somewhere for the output to go that is not necessarily a terminal/command prompt/bash shell.

Very good ;-)
Took me a moment, but when I did, very good!

In other words there were more positive stories on Obama because there was more positive stuff to say about him.
Yeah, that makes sense. Hopefully tallies with him winning too ;-)

That alarm clock is the neatest *nix hack I have heard yet. Nice one.

I suggest FlashBlock instead of NoScript if he only wants to stop flash from being auto-downloaded and leave the JS alone.

There's another important factor: retention.
Call centres have high turnover, and newer agents have higher AHTs. So there's no reason to presume that this suggestion will increase AHT overall.
Justin.
Not in a press release there isn't.

I'll make the quote more obvious for you
"...emails on **************govt************** business..."
Got it now?

...both links go to the same page. What is your problem with actually doing some basic checking, like following the links?
Heh, it's liquid.... worst case scenario is 'splash' ;-)
Really?

Technology overtook your point a few years ago.

Modularise, modularise, modularise.
If you can't describe what a function does in a reasonably short function name, then it needs to be broken up.
