tesseract is absolutely in love with the idea of the letter A with the circle coming out of the top even though you tell tesseract that you are specifically scanning English
That character is used as an abbreviation for "angstroms" in English, which is probably why specifying English doesn't eliminate it. Of course, if the software was smart it would realize that the probability of an A-like character being an angstrom sign rather than an "A" is very small, especially if the preceding character wasn't a numeric digit (possibly with a space in between).
Interesting. I have a laptop that spends virtually all of its time in a docking station with AC power available. A few months ago the power went out. The battery went from claiming to be fully charged to shutting down in about a minute or two. When power came back on and the battery recharged, I disconnected it from the outlet and it seemed to hold power just fine (ran on battery for an hour or two before I plugged it back in, and seemed to be discharging at the rate it was predicting). Was that sudden shutdown due to the gauge getting out of whack (thinking it was charged when it really wasn't) because the battery was so rarely used?
The blog seems to be down now. When I was on there, there was a little rectangle in the middle of the article that said something like "you need Flash to listen to the audio." I don't do Flash, but I assume that was it.
A recording of the session is available on Tahir's blog.
It would probably make more sense to link to the blog post instead of the main blog page so people can actually find the recording in the future after new blog posts are added.
I can't speak to breakage in Windows 7, but Windows 8 flat-out removes the IFilter technology that older version of Windows provided, which allowed third-party software to extract text from various file formats to do things like build desktop search technologies. From here:
Indexing Service is no longer supported as of Windows XP and is unavailable for use as of Windows 8.
So, "created properly" really doesn't guarantee that it will work on future versions of Windows unless you assume that "properly" means that you have a crystal ball and can tell which technologies Microsoft will discard in the future.
Well, student loans are virtually impossible to discharge through bankruptcy, which is presumably not the case with these loans, so they are a great deal for the student that doesn't plan to actually pay the money back (probably less great for the lender).
That's one reason to go public. Other reasons would be so that owners can more easily cash out their shares, or so that employees can be given stock/options with some liquidity and established value. I've seen stories like AK Marc's before -- it's called a reverse takover.

Perhaps someone at Apple made the mistake of thinking they were two separate seasons.
The studio sure seems to be encouraging that mistake. They are selling DVDs saying "The Fifth Season" on the packaging with no hint that it is half of a season
So, when there is a hit-and-run accident the witnesses will be telling the police to hunt for the car with license plate number "EXPIRED"?
senders who know the recipient is driving at the time...Facebook couldn't know
You greatly underestimate how much data Facebook is collecting about you ;-) (that's a joke, not a claim to inside info on Facebook's operations).

And, if someone parks really close to you while it is folded you won't have enough space to unfold it.
It could very well be that running the battery test every minute is causing his battery to deteriorate.
Sounds like something Heisenberg would say.

It didn't even cover Apple.
They had some articles on apple and even linux.

That's up there with "rm * .o" (note the space before ".o").
it's equally possible that there are a hundred other people running the same scam
The same scam, sure, but the same caller ID and recording?
But they already got the Cardholder Services people. That's how ineffective the penalties really are.
Yeah but is it web scale?
For those that don't know the joke, it is here.
in Scotland a Bing is a spoil heap...worst name for a search engine ever
Good point. It is hard to trademark a name that is merely descriptive, so Bing was a terrible choice. ;)
Not even wrong
"Forty-five days - that's it," he said. "They don't last forever."
That's forty-five days after you take the Twinkie out of the cellophane wrapper, right?
Yep. SVG support (beyond half-baked plugins) requires IE9.
I'm waiting for the Starbucks inside the Microsoft Store inside the Best Buy.
Marketing genius! Finally, an answer to the question: "Why the f*ck would anyone walk into a Microsoft store."
...and apparently mountain dew can all do that...
Apparently not true.
yeah, it's a bit of a fuck you to anyone who bought one to stop support in google play for it.
Uhm, nobody bought one. Google gave them away for free to anyone that pre-ordered them.

The point of an IPO is to raise money.

Equally important, it doesn't require f*ing Flash to view.
