Huh? I was talking about Iowa, not NV. And the Cruz camp admitted it and apologized to Carson, but it was still not legit. Here's the Cruz apology: http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/02/...
Carson won't because of what the Cruz camp did to him. It's the only thing I agree with Trump on - in Iowa, before the polls closed, the Cruz camp told people Carson had dropped out, and many of Carson's supporters therefore voted for Cruz. Making those comments before the polls closed is against the rules, and Trump was not happy.
Neither was Carson, who vowed to stay in it as long as Cruz was in it, to take as many votes away from Cruz as he could.
I would actually say, on the side of the GOP, the most moderate and sane one in that group, is Kasich. He would be willing to work with a Congress that's not from his political party, and his ideals line up to that of the Republicans, rather than the Tea Party [so they are far less right-wing].
I don't vote Repub, but if I had to recommend someone for that side, he would get my recommendation and vote.
Google Wallet also currently requires a live data connection because the transaction is verified in the cloud, not on a chip on the handset/watch. With Apple Pay, no data connection is required, which is useful in areas like where I live, where network coverage is very spotty due to the rural-nature of the area.
I wish my grandfather was still alive to see Voyager 1 still in operation. He worked on the batteries and electrical system on the Voyager probes, spending most of his adult life working at JPL. He would be thrilled to know that they were both still operating, exploring, and sending data back to earth. Impressive!
...employers will just ask potential employees to accept their HR staff's friend request, as the article yesterday stated. But one could easily get around that by making sure the HR staff is in a Facebook list that has no access to a user's wall/timeline and other info. Still, seems like the employer wouldn't like that and they would find some way to get the employee to let HR in.:(
A google account is not private, whereas an AppleID is. If you have to create a google account for an android phone, that means you have to have an account with some of your information made public [eg: your name]. An AppleID is private - it is used solely for billing purposes though you can expand it to include iCloud [a private-that-can-be-public service], and it can also be used for GameCenter, a public service. But by default an AppleID is private and no online profile of you is made, unlike what happens when you create a google account.
Actually, that is/was one of the nice things about Facebook - it didn't allow the horrible customizations to one's profile like MySpace did. But it *did* used to offer more customizations [none of them as bad as MySpace]. They have removed most of the ability to make profiles look non-standard, much to the frustration of some users [but not me!]. While their new ticker is not good, I do think that the FB devs are very aware that they don't want FB profiles to look as bad as MySpace ones have.
There are lots of GPL apps on the AppStore - the most well known is the Wordpress app. If source code is available on the developer's site, than things are good to go. Anyone can download, for free, the iPhone SDK. It costs nothing to download/install the SDK. It only costs $99/year if one wants to publish an app into the AppStore or run it on a physical iPhone rather than the software-based iPhone simulator.
The developers are doing the right thing, IMO./vjl/
Airbust QA sucks, sadly. They differ highly with how Boeing does things; they rely on computers *way* too much, which is why I will never fly on an Airbus a/c. The pilot is not given #1 priority in the cockpit.
Boeing a/c do have a lot of computer controls, but they can all be easily overwritten by the CO/FO flying the a/c. Not quite as easy on an Airbust. When their A320 debuted at the French airshow, the computer got very confused at take off and simply refused to allow the pilot to pull up more than 20-30 feet off the ground, causing the a/c to crash into the forest at the end of the runway.
Technology is good when it is used to supplement human experience and knowledge. It is not meant to replace it.
Actually, seriously, avoid distractions while programming, including reading this site. Set your e.mail to check once per hour, or simply turn it off to begin with. Don't burden yourself with making a certain "quota" of programming lines per day; some days you'll crank out a lot of code, other days will be more idea-focused and less code-focused
Listen to what your users want in a program; don't talk techno-babble to them, but instead watch how their workflow goes, and understand the problem your program is meant to solve. Listen to their feedback; though you may think your user interface is easy to grasp, if they don't, then it really isn't.
The single most important rule a good programmer needs to learn: Don't have an ego; be proud of your work, yes, but never get such a big head about being a programmer that you forget the people you are writing the programs for.
That sounds like the Amiga's way of doing things...over 20 years ago! I'm glad it's catching on, and I'm glad AMD is doing it; AMD usually gets things right, and makes their products a lot more affordable than Intel...
And I third that! We use xxcopy at work for a client to server copy procedure and it is very fast. I actually had forgotten about that solution, as we use it to move a lot of small files over the network from one client PC to the server, and it does copy fast.
xxcopy does cost money though [but i believe you can try it out for free, as it simply has nag screens if i recall]. If the original poster doesn't mind opening up a command shell [aka DOS window], xxcopy would be the way to go, without requiring zippin' the files up first.
Have you tried to archive/compress them first [gzip/zip/etc], then move the big file over? Lots of small files take longer to move than fewer larger files./vjl/
LittleSnitch does *exactly* that. You can have multiple rules for an application [block Firefox from visiting port 80 of microsoft.com, and apple.com, but allow port 80 for all other connections]. It can block UDP and TCP/IP. It has a very simple interface, which might be why you don't think it can do what you want, but trust me, it can. Check the parent for the URL, and download the trial.
Farscape did end in a cliffhanger, because at the time, they were told they had a 2 season renewal [the cliffhanger was at the end of the first of those seasons]. They were not told until the final shooting of the cliffhanger that they would not be back on the air the next season. Kinda hard to change the story line when you're on the last [or nearly the last] day of shooting, eh?
My Handera 330 has two memory slots - an SD and a CF. Very handy for doing wifi, GPS at the same time. The CF slot can use a Symbol Wifi card, and the old Palm III serial port can use the NAVman GPS unit. Combine that with a 128MB SD card full of GPS maps, and you've got a nice system that can browse a network at the same time it browses the earth. [and also record sound via the recorder button, use a high-res screen w/ virtual graffiti, and use the device one handed via a Sony-like thumbwheel]. Only features it lacks - color screen, fast CPU, and an SDIO slot. Man, I wish Handera was still around...
Why not make some of the settings in KDE have an advanced options checkbox, like Video Lan's VLC media player has? When you open up the prefs in VLC, there are several settings, but some are hidden unless you click in the checkbox labeled, "Advanced", and then you get to change more options.
It seems like this is a better method than eliminating features from a preference dialog box [ala Gnome].
Though I no longer use them, I was very happy with Eskimo.com. They give discounts if you're only using ssh/telnet to access the shell account, and they have great support. They use Linux and SunOS, though their news server, when I was last there, crashed a lot.
Check out their home page, but I do believe you get full IMAP access as well as compiler access. I remember compiling my own version of Pine as they were a version behind, and all worked just fine.
They're not free, but I think you'll find their rates ok./vjl/
But they seem to have forgotten that with the new Zire 72 - one of its big [well, new, anyway] features is that it can record video. Cool. But Mac users won't be able to play it back on their system - guess one has to use VirtualPC and Windows to view Z72-authored videos on a desktop OS.
Just FYI, but IE 5.5sp2 is still being updated and maintained by MS. You can no longer download it, as of March 31, 2003, but until December 31, 2003, MS will continue to patch it as needed. After December 31, 2003, MS will no longer release security updates for IE 5.5.
We keep NS 7.0.2 and IE 5.5sp2 on our users' desktops, as IE6 had issues with Office 2000 on a Win2ksp3 workstation [go figure - all 3 packages are made by MS!].
Only problem is that the MS Update w3 site always wants the users to upgrade to IE6sp1 [but they can't since they're all non-admin users].
Well, Bill Gates said you could run Win95 on a 386 with 4MB of RAM. Really he did. Here's the exact quote and the URL:
"You can run Windows 95 on a 386 computer with 4 megabytes of RAM, but we recommend 8 megs for better performance. If you're going to upgrade to more powerful applications, more memory is better. My laptop computer has 12 megs."
- Bill Gates, August 1995
Well, they did go pretty skimpy on their screengrabs! I mean, not *one* screengrab of BBEdit 7? I know it's a text editor, but still, it's cool enough to deserve at least one darn screengrab.
