I had issues with Hola on my Android, which got resolved after an upgrade of Hola itself. After that it got broken somehow again, where Netflix is unable to see a network connection. That then got resolved again by rebooting the device.
On my main desktop I've not seen any issues.
So I think this is an isolated issue where certain things broke as opposed to Netflix being responsible.
One of the things that make me quite convinced of that is that I still get the nice 'You're watching Netflix from a different country, keep these things in mind' popup from Netflix, with the mentions of different series/etc being available for you, and your favourite series might be missing.
Of course telling a department like that No isn't something they're willing to accept, and this everyone became embroiled in this useless piece of chicanery.
I'm sorry, but this storm is not affecting The Gulf of Mexico, Florida, or the Jersey Shore. America is not interested. Move along.
Someone marked this comment flamebait, so they missed the obvious cynicism in this comment. Or if this was actually meant for real, then it goes to show the exact sad thing, that for a lot of people this is actually true.
As someone else in this thread already said, the coverage on this particular Typhoon in the US Media is severely lacking for the most part, which really is sad.
If you go back in time somewhat, it was actually needed to fill in certain TN3270/X3270/IBM3270 terminal templates.
A lot of things would need capslock, but would still let you use lowercase for other things such as comments (remember Cobol? Nah, I don't think you do:)
So no. No mistake at all. (Even nowadays, if you're entering activation codes and such, they're often in all caps *and* caps sensitive, which is retarded:)
But I get your point CAPSLOCK SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN INVENTED...:D
In the investigation, these trades would also show up, since 'canceled' trades don't actually get removed from the system, just set to 'canceled' state.
So if this were true, both trades should show up, and one should've been canceled *after* the 7ms, with the change it will actually be picked up by another system in the meantime, etc.
But we'll see what the investigation comes up with:)
I'm betting on a time machine! (Or possibly just insider trading, but that's not half as much fun)
They want to move it to L2, it's not going to be anywhere near the earth to bother with.
If the thruster runs too long, it'll overshoot L2, and go into an orbit rather far out of the moon's orbit.
Chance it crashes on the moon is rather higher than it crashing on earth, and even then it'll not be an overly significant event (see someone else's calculations in this reply thread as well)
L2 is perfect for this stuff, since it's actually outside the earth's sun orbit and farther away than the moon.
Now L3,4,5 which are located on the earth trajectory might be something you might not want to do:) (If I remember the locations correctly..)
We have the same problem with different hardware architectures (think x86 vs SPARC vs S390).
You have to set a certain acceptable deviance from spec for this sort of thing, and mark it as 'okay' if you're less than that percentage off the expected value.
As an example: My calculation on a Linux box over a spread of about 125000 payments gives me about 0.00001 cents negative difference, whereas the same thing in Exhell comes to 0.
This is expected and completely insignificant behavious.
Start there. They have a fairly large library, with quite a few books for free download. No DRM, fairly inexpensive (think $4-$7 per book) and downloadable in just about any format you'd want.
Once you've created an account, those books will stay available on your account page for download on whatever device you want it on.
I've put this same thing in several threads over the last few years, but I think they're still worth mentioning:)
I suspect one of the main reasons for using Lisp/Scheme style notation, is that almost all GPU programming anyone would want to do are (based on) mathematical equations.
For mathematicians, a Lisp notation is actually a lot more logical and easier than a C notation. (At least the older ones:)
The whole concept of iterations in calculations is a bit awkward in C (with all the parenthesis, yes...) in comparison to Lisp (where they're fairly well delineated blocks if properly indented)
Yes, you can mostly do the same in C, but I'd bet most mathematicians have more experience with ADA/Lisp than with C:)
Chicken/Egg sort of thing, then, now that I've typed all this out.

DOJ asked and got told "No".

And I just read that the doctor that's treated 100+ of the Ebola victims has been infected as well.
3 other nurses have already succumbed to the disease.
The high mortality rate is probably what scares people the most, despite it actually not being that infective through normal pathways.
This comment now stands moderated at 'Redundant'. Which is just about perfect. I wish there was a way to make sure it stays that way :)
(Yes, that was more or less a joke)
This law is actually only enacted because their previous law got invalidated by the EU, and they really really want to still be able to do this!
The discussion on this was when the first law was enacted, it's too late now, really.
No. Said the person who should have known that the Stuxnet attack had an attack vector that didn't have anything to do with the internet.
The actual machines it was aimed against actually weren't connected to the internet at all.
So the comment is just dumb.
Kudos to him for not ever trying to get into the limelight about this.
Not sure what repercussions this will have for him and his family as persons, but it's kind of nice to see this sort of stuff can still happen :)
Guess he got taught well by the diverse companies insisting on secrecy!
There were actually plans at one time (no idea if they ever got worked out) to send a combination lander.
One lander for communication, with a submarine module to bore through the ice and go exploring under water.
Sounded really neat, but not very feasable.

How is caps lock a mistake?

Aside from the fact it's not necessarilly mutually exclusive, I'll just drop this quote here that both sides can use ad nauseam.
"Wrong, Wrong, Wrong, Absolutely brimming over with Wrongability"
Use this on each other, and at least get a laugh out of it, possibly..
Aha. It's good to see other people have worked with Accenture! Or IBM. Or Infosys. Or.......
Obviously a WoW gametime key written down by Nostradamus.

For eBooks (if you like fantasy/SF) I've found Webscription (Baen books) to be a very very good service.

The answer to that is very obvious.
The person helping him at McDonald's was a student that moonlighted as a McDonald's server, but secretly made money on the side as a stripper.
There. Simple explanations are lovely.
I always thought SOD stood for 'Stormtroopers of Death'. An old metal band I used to go see live a lot.
But I guess it would fit these guys as well :)
Which is a reference to Vitamin D deficiency, if you'd actually read it. Not sure how that has anything to do with what the OP was talking about :)

I think it would be far more shocking if Slashdot would reveal that some of those billionaire Nigerians *are* actually real.
Now wouldn't that throw a spanner in the spammer.
Mr Trenk has recently tried (as in finished the trial, not 'attempted') COMMA to conclusion COMMA bid litigation involving over $100 million.
Fairly sure that's what meant, and in this case interpunction would've made things a lot clearer, although it can technically be left out.
Leaving it out makes it a very ugly sentence, though.
Change one ingredient (the tonic water) to , and your ??? is "Set on fire"
Not sure however if the profit still works then. I guess they could sell charcoal to the BBQ business.
You have a 10' tablet? WOW!
How do you work with that, some sort of full body contact thing? Twister based?
Or more along the lines of Dance Dance Revolution?
I can see it now: Man I'm tired, I've been entering stuff in Excel 2018 all day, my legs hurt!
