Presumably, he would prefer having an extra $1,250.00 of discretionary money rather than having two laptops. It's not a cut-and-dry scenario.
It is cut-and-dry. You don't tell the boss about laptop number 2 because it's none of his business. It's like buying any other item for your personal use, like a box of condoms. Must that nosy boss know about everything I do outside of work?
"And why is it the government's responsibility to make a private trip in a privately owned airplane safe for you, pay for all that security with my tax dollars, and use intrusive government means as part of security?"
Someone called the police because of a perceived threat of murder. Yes murder, that's what it would be if the threat was real and carried out. In general, threats of violence are not covered by the 1st amendment. That is where police come in: a law was broken. This is outside the domain of private security.
Anyhow, the police responded by investigating and finding the man who broke the law by making the threat. They arrested him, which means they got a warrant to do so. He is now in the hands of the criminal justice system, which will probably end up going lightly on him because the threat was apparently idle.
There are certainly times when police officers overstep their boundaries and such, but this is a case where, as far I can see, the police did their jobs properly.
First, make a bumpmap of each image. Then, render them onto quads with a light at a 45 degree angle to the surface normal. Run a gaussian blur on each resulting image. Then run a quantize filter, followed by lens flare, solarize, and edge-detect. At this point, the answer will be clear: both images look horrible.
"I bought my own canvas to use as a self-promotion tool. I removed the plastic wrapper. I also nailed some tacks into the sides to strengthen it. But when you go to look at it, there is nothing there. I didn't want Joe's Art Supplies getting ad revenue off my name (and it doesn't look very professional), so I sanded off the logo, but it seems like I should be able to put something on the canvas itself. But, I am not interesting in painting, I do not want too much personal information on it, and I do not want to spend a lot of money on paints, charcoals, or pastels(none, if possible). Are there any things that I can put on my canvas to fill the blank space? What do non-painters do with their personal canvases?"
Can a series so tied to one actor really be separated from him?
The cast of bland young Hollywood "beauties" is also partly to blame. Gritty stuff requires weird-looking people, not the kind that can pose like that promo photo. (Also, that style of promo shot is getting kind of stale, guys.)
It's a netbook. You aren't about to hook some obscure RAID controller into it. This is one reason the netbook is a great niche for Linux - the hardware is pretty much fixed. And even though it's expandable through the USB bus, its users primarily just use it for web/email/quick word processing/etc. That DOS-only parallel port EPROM programmer is going to stay hooked up to my workstation anyhow.
As we discussed recently, OnLive is trying to change that by moving a big portion of the hardware requirements to the cloud.
How does deploying on OnLive versus deploying on XBox 360 significantly affect the cost of development? Sure, console dev kits cost more than a PC, but it's a tiny fraction of the the $25M spent on the big-budget games that are discussed in this article. Developing a AAA game that happens to run via a thin client is about as costly as one that runs on a thick client.
There are APIs for accessing Maxmind's geoip dbs in just about every web server language you might be using. And if you're using something really obscure, you could implement it yourself or link with the C lib.
Here's a case where I actually agree with both sides. We need clean energy, and we need pristine natural areas. Build these mufuckin wind farms in farmland.
It's most efficient to build wind farms where there is wind. Offshore areas tend to be ideal. I personally think offshore wind farms are aesthetically no worse than offshore oil rigs.
I just finished my first rails project, a caption contest. Took about 3 days to implement. OK, yeah, the ugly html layout sucks at the moment, but the backend functionality works pretty well considering the time invested.

Lots of programmers work those kinds of insane hours without the $1.2 million salary. Indeed, the average game programmer does it for around $80K.
That made my day. Thanks!
Cash Cow II, Sure Thing IV, and Same Game Again III are all exciting and innovative and you should buy them.
The Windows software and services market is a multi-billion dollar annual industry. So the answer to your question is clearly "yes".
Thread over. You win.
Serious bikers will tell you they average like 25 mph, but the truth is that most bicyclists average around 14 mph on a flat surface.
One theory is that HIV/AIDS spread to humans through vaccinations cultured in simian tissue.

Are scalpels the way to go? Sutures? ASP?
1. Get your money. (Profit!)
2. Next patient.
3. Repeat.

And, of course, anyone who actually spends $10,000,000 developing a game in the current climate is this: madden.
FTFY.

You have that backwards. Cuban espresso and Turkish tobacco are the best.

Those who can't, write licenses.
I ran it. On my Ubuntu box. And my cat died. This download killed my cat. I should have been warned!
Was it before or after you installed the animated unicorn desktop theme you saw in a banner ad?

This 9x deflation in the face value of the instrument was what killed AIG
AIG died because they wrote credit default swaps without having anything to back it if things went south. And things went south.
