we are used to looking at systems and asking, 'will it scale?'
when you look at the products that do scale- or implement something at a very large scale, it takes money. i've not seen an exception yet. i don't care about firefox, google and their deal - as long as the browser works the way i want.
on a side note-- as for what to do with the 'extra' money. i'd love to see it invested in making other open apps - like sunbird and thunderbird great.
it would make my day if there were a way to flip that around - so that a user had to do some physically difficult feat in order to flag an email as urgent.
I was on a training trip a couple weeks ago - and ended up using the elliptical trainer in my hotel. (Didn't feel comfortable running in the neighborhood) I learned not to set my ipod nano face up in the little holder on the machine. One morning some sweat dropped on it and got into the nano under the click wheel. It didn't really work quite right until it dried out. (It was working fine later - I left it sitting upside down to dry out)
The tv in the room had cnn on, so I read the little news ticker while I listened to music and worked out. Being able to check email would have been very cool. Though I think to read it easily, on a machine with a lot of up and down movement - I would need the text to be large and a decent distance away.
as I understand it - the mono framework itself is an implementation of an open standard. so are potential problems out there dealing with tools to use mono? or is it the fact that using mono would lend itself to developing applications that would naturally tend to use patented features? if so - isn't putting the framework out there some type of implied license to use those methods?
I'm just kind of thinking out loud here, but I would love to here some possible answers to these questions.
I guess this is more detail than just saying 235 violations - but it is still not enough detail to be really useful. So I think I'll just keep sitting tight until something meaningful comes up. And when that happens, I'd like to see the community respond with an unprecedented level of development and patches being submitted to make the whole thing moot. That would be nice.
she makes it clear that she is legally obliged to keep the id. i guess i can totally relate because i have friends who have lost jobs because they sold to minors through being careless. she is pretty careful to explain thoroughly and multiple times that she wont give the id back because it could cause problems for her friends and family who work in the same business.
in my experience when i had to check id's the only people who ever got out of sorts over it were those who were underage. i'd kill to get carded - but it never happens any more. (i'm 38).
as for the posting on the blog - i think the stories of how it all went down are priceless. so it doesn't seem like a power trip to me as much as great entertainment.
it is funny - because as I mentioned, I've been to previews for a few films. (We have friends who are retired Disney execs, but the tickets aren't hard to get anyway) - so maybe that helped, but I knew what the article meant right away from context and the description in the summary. It just makes sense - but I don't go to movies a lot in general so maybe for a lot of folks, the terms were more confusing. I'd completely forgotten, as is mentioned repeatedly below, that trailers begin with the screen saying, "This Preview is...." or whatever.
and a good writer and apparently an artist as well. She just doesn't just take the id and post it - she writes some hilarious commentary to go with it. I wish her the best and hope that this young gal isn't as rich as she says, or I fear that it may not go well. While Rachel is completely in the right, justice is expensive.
Here is a great gem from her site, "Oh Kathleen O'Brien.. what terribly unjust irony that your fake Id would be confiscated on St. Patrick's Day."
that's an interesting idea - but i do a lot of other stuff with them that i'm hoping will help with that. my kids read a lot for one thing. we also work on puzzles, draw/color, write, etc. they are pretty young and my wife and i really try to keep the t.v. from getting out of hand.
interestingly enough, raising them has also given me a much larger appreciation for the role genetics play in this arena. my kids are each a year and a half apart and have shown enormous variation in personality that seems to me to be more innate than anything else. maybe i'm wrong and too close to see the differences in their environment.
you are right about the experiment though. i have let my kids watch a movie for a couple hours - but that would be their entire television intake for that day and probably the next. they are happier outside anyway. watching tv makes them cranky and winy when it is over. while it is on - they are kind of in a zombie state that is rather disconcerting.
the term previews is used frequently for the trailers, commercials, etc. that are shown prior to the beginning of a film. i've been in theaters where they have their canned deal and it will say something about 'following the previews'. i don't know if this is common across all of the u.s. but it is how i have heard it used in each of the areas where i have lived in the u.s.
occasionally I've had passes to showings of films a week or two before they came out - and i always have had to explain to people that it was an 'early showing' or some such. if I just said preview, they wouldn't know what I meant, so I think the usage is pretty common.
I can skip the intros where they have them - to my knowledge. I don't try to do it too often. I use the time between hitting play and when the show actually starts to do other stuff - so I don't really pay attention. But I know most of the kids stuff just kicks right into the show. The cartoon network has Mr. Magoo and my kids love it - so we watch those every so often. But the only place I've really noticed adds is on the channel I watch the most which is the Anime feed. I was happy to find that, though at times it is annoying because there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to which episodes they have up for a series. Or the series themselves for that matter.
I have brighthouse - so this may be different, but I have a slew of on-demand choices that are 'free' as in I don't pay anything beyond my normal monthly bill. It is a bunch of stuff cnn, tnt, tbs, cartoon network, and some themed channels - kids, movies, etc. Then there are also what you are thinking of - like on-demand movies where I pay 4 bucks to have access to a movie all day.
I'm guessing they are talking about 'free' on-demand.
One of the things that I really like about the on-demand stuff I get from brighthouse is that there are no commercials at all - other than sometimes before the program begins. Like Anime on demand will often have a short commercial, then the show with no commercials. It's nice too when my kids want to watch Avatar or something because they get to see the whole episode but takes less time.
I moved to Florida roughly 10 months ago. This is the first I have ever heard of this. I've been googling around trying to find a reference to this in any type of local news media and I can't. Nothing so far. Maybe I'm missing it, but it seems like something of this magnitude would garner some attention.

don't think I've ever heard of anyone who gets SMS spam actually - in the US.
you have now. i get them all the time.
yes, you are not alone on that one.
i'm not nearly as distressed by the hair i'm losing as much as by the hair that seems to grow more and more rapidly where i don't want it.

what if it isn't just implementation but the very idea. you can't replace an entire idea- you just have it or you don't.
are you mad?
i guess i could be - but if so, i'm really the last person qualified to answer the question.
no - white holes - it's like bizarro world but in astronomy
i don't know about dark matter - but that was a good flick. a staple of the sci-fi theater on saturday morning when i was a kid.
you'd want some flexibility in your system

i'm not really much of a gamer by most standards - but this event gets bigger and better every year. i'd love to go if i could.
