Because she didn't explain what it was when asked? That might be a good reason. Maybe they think it WAS a hoax, and in that case she DOES need some time to think about it? The bail requirement wasn't exactly out of this world either...
This makes a lot of sense. She may have had a sudden realization of what she was wearing & where when asked about it, got flustered and tried to leave.
It's not flat. IIRC, between 70-75K it jumps from 25% to 28%, then at 150ish it's 33%, and at 300ish, it's 35%. Google "federal income tax" if you're interested.
Many people here in the US have cheaper regional plans that roam out of state. I think only the biggest carriers have relatively cheap nationwide service.
Why does the compiler writer giving something a useful definition make it part of the C standard? Or even a superset? If the behavior is UNDEFINED, and you write code that depends on a particular behavior, you aren't conforming to any standard right?
I agree that implementation defined behavior makes it next to impossible to guarantee portability across different implementations. I'm guessing the spec was written that way so it wouldn't make any assumptions about the types of hardware it'd be implemented on. The best you could probably do to ensure portability is follow guidelines like these.
Wait a minute. Go try to find a definition of independent that DOESN'T personify the object, and look at how it applies to these two processors. I could just as easily argue that this chip is only one core because the processor elements are connected electrically and physically. Luckily, it's a flexible word, and if you call your three cores separate, I call the PS3's eight cores separate.
A PS3's "cores" may be specialized, but they are still independent processing units. Independence != interchangeable. IE: I work independently of my boss, but we're not interchangeable, and all work is sent to me from him. I do my work as he does, without the other of us being involved. I think it's a fair distinction, calling a PS3's SPEs cores. Unless you want to argue that everything is dependent on something else, no matter what. Then, I'd give up.
Can't you just set your iPod to manual manage mode and drag & drop the music over? Or at least mount it as a disk and copy the stuff manually? Givien the drag and drop method, I'm not sure why iTunes even needs a manual file system copy mode. What's the point?
Gentoo Wiki Go there, then do a find for "MacOS" How hard is that?
After you've enabled insecure ports on your NFS server, all accounts on the Mac can connect to NFS without using reserverd ports. So now, you don't really need to go through any system files (such as the fstab you were looking for, and BTW, google 'lookupd') to use an NFS client . The easiest way to connect to a NFS share is from Finder, click the "Go" pulldown, then select "Connect to Server". Or from Finder, press ?K
I can understand what you went through though, I tried using XP's NFS client to connect to my Linux NFS shares first, and that's what made me get a Mac.:-)
I don't think the idea was to turn the children of developing countries into software engineers. Isn't this pretty similar to how most early PC's shipped with BASIC interpreters? The intent there wasn't to crank out professional BASIC coders but to make it easier for novices to make their PCs do custom work. Now, being python as opposed to BASIC, I fail to see how anyone is underestimating children as you say. What would you hope to offer these kids with a stock Linux or Windows system? A chance to take a stab at C/C++ with Visual Studio? Learn MFC? Learn how to use gcc and make? Is that really a goal here, [try] to crank out software engineers in developing nations? I think these machines are tools to encourage learning and connect otherwise remote peoples.
I think it's plain and clear that Apple has embraced open source, but what the F*CK does that have to do with them changing their already non-public API's on the iPod?
Increased enforcement will increase turnover, not expired meters. You make it sound like lack of parking will not discourage people from driving downtown. If the city has adequate public transportation (the only real way to squeeze more people into less traffic) then reduced parking spaces should encourage more public transportation use. Seriously, what good is it to encourage parking turnover in a city? Now more cars are on the roads. Maybe that city has bad public transportation systems.
If there isn't any more to the story, and the city is in fact trying to reduce downtown parking, and a corporation was willing to reimburse the city for five years of lost meter income, whats wrong with that? Stop with all the evil corporation crap, these are three parking meters we're talking about, FFS.
I think only the more technical PC users feel like they're getting a cheap shot with those switcher ads. There are plenty of PC users that aren't emotionally attached to their computer, and find the ads funny. I grew up with PC's, and bought a new Mac last year. The amount of misinformation that circulates unchallenged among PC users about Macs is astonishing. No software, they're slow, they suck, no games, too expensive, waste of money, etc. The iPod and iPhone are helping rebuild Apple's image and these ads are probably meant to counter all the misinformation with, well... hey, it's not all false. I want to know, how the hell could they let so much bad word of mouth get around unchecked for so long?
That's an interesting idea. If that's their game though, wouldn't they make more by painting the curb yellow (no parking), or making them handicapped spaces? Or how about those ridiculous signs with three different time slots + special days, describing when the meter is/isn't in effect?
First, read the article, maybe that's why you "don't quite get things".
The metered spaces would be turned into a no parking zone. That's LESS cars on the street. Unless there's more to the story, it's pretty silly of the city to refuse. No parking is less cars than Metered parking which is less cars than Free parking.
WTF is a leap of Faith in Scientific discovery?

Seriously, the scientific method has no room for faith. It kind of goes against the grain of it. Backwards science just isn't real science.
Also, I'm curious. You understand that religion is a man made construction. You seem to understand what the scientific method is. Why do you hold onto your faith, and what is it? If you start peeling away all of the man made garbage, how do you know when to stop? These are questions I was asking myself when I was a kid. It didn't take long to see that fear was making me hold onto something that I just couldn't accept as fact. Since then I've rejected that fear and I see how it's been abused for probably a few thousand years to control people. I've seen the effects faith seems to have on a lot of people, and I can't call it all bad. I think It's just wrong to have people manipulated by superstitious beliefs.
Boy do we have a LONG ways to go to overcome all that though...
It's very good for whomever has the monopoly, but that's about it.
I used to think the same thing, and somehow used that to justify what Microsoft did to achieve their monopoly status. I also used to believe that old "If Microsoft didn't do it, IBM/Apple... would have" crap. Microsoft is about as hostile and anticompetitive as a business can get. Some of that might just be the nature of the business, but it really is NOT good for consumers. Microsoft's bottom line is revenue but clearly they've given up on making quality products to get it.
A Windows service pack is mostly (99.99%?) security related and is damn near forced onto users, where each Mac OS X release includes a bundle of new features. Nobody is forced to upgrade to the very next Mac OS release either.
Lets not arbitrarily assign income levels or spending limits to generic references to the common man/woman. Is there a special name that better fits the average middle class American?

Customer demand? Who thought at this point you could still buy a new computer with Windows XP on it?
Companies often make bold forward looking statements, and they don't speak for everyone.
