OTOH, my 2.0A Nextar brand (maybe, bought at the Source) micro works for both my Blackberry and my girlfriend's Samsung. Brand doesn't really matter when you use a standard, just the right connector and output amperage (voltage is covered in the spec).
On that reading comprehension thing: for instance; as an example; hypothetically. These imply a scenario, not necessarily the scenario you went through. And no, if I gave (or was given) an assignment on loops, and a solution was given using recursion, I would not take that as reassurance that the student knew loops - at that point, I'm not sure he can even read! After all, loops and recursion aren't at all the same thing, and while they have some overlap, they aren't universally interchangeable.
There's only two ways that a prof is going to know you know the material - one-on one with all 200 students, or if they do the damned assignments! If I had a student submit an assignment like that, I'd return it with "Glad you read ahead, now stop being smart and prove you know loops" and return the assignment. If you want to prove how great you are, in the example I gave above, then do both loops AND recursion. Maybe a prof would give bonus points, not that a hero like that would need them.
In the REAL WORLD, part of the trick is giving people what they want, not what you think they want. This requires some communication, some listening, and possibly some education so that the customer has an idea of what their options are so they can reasonably choose what they want. A good start is listening to your prof, who knows EXACTLY what he wants, and striving to meet, and sometimes even exceed, those expectations. THEN you can show off.
And, speaking of those communication skills, exactly what in my last paragraph implied that I was discussing the exact circumstances of your personal life event, the details of which weren't given?
If, for instance, the subject you're studying is loops, and you used recursion, why do you think you'd get a passing grade? For all the teacher knows, you don't understand loops at all! You have to keep in mind, assignments are normally to prove you are learning the specific subject matter, not necessarily the general subject matter (that's usually where tests come in).
Just a reasonable counterpoint blah blah blah not aware of the specific circumstances blah blah blah YMMV FWIW yadda yadda yadda.
If they took Roth as a primary source and allowed his words to be stated as unreferenced facts, they would need to take Whitley Strieber as a primary source when he says he was actually kidnapped by aliens.
Narrow, and incorrect, thinking. They would be able to cite that Strieber claimed he was abducted by aliens, which is actually true (presuming he did say such, which I can't be bothered to look up). Whether or not he was abducted by aliens is another question, as is whether or not he's mentally unbalanced. But neither of those issues have any bearing on whether or not he said that.
How interested are you in a book by an author who is known to be a liar? Interested in a copy of The Secret? From what I hear, sales tanked when his lies came out. Why would this author think any differently about his sales, and his livelihood? How is this not libel, and defamation?
Sounds like the guy should have just sued Wikipedia for slander - damaging his credibility in his professional field, and besmirching his good name. This would have served two purposes: It would have given them a reason to get off of their high horses; and it would have given them that secondary source they were so desperately seeking! I'd personally love to see a lawsuit against wikipedia being used as a citation on one of their pages - the irony would be unbeatable.
No, they just want developers to pay them for the privilege of writing software for Apple products. See, for example, the $99/year fee for permission to write iOS applications, to either be able to use it on your own iOS device, or have anyone else use it.
With those restrictions, you may as well just write code in Notepad
So frankly they can charge the cost of brewing beer to the taxpayers, I don't mind at all. It is an expensive office to maintain and there really isn't any other way it can be so long as the US maintains its place of prominence among nations
Hell, its probably cheaper than vetting beer brought in from outside manufacturers.
They don't have to be safe, as nothing, not even laying in bed, is completely safe. They just have to be safer than what exists now. That is a pretty low bar to reach.
That makes me wonder - how well do they handle low bars?
So what you're saying is that the iPhone has a design failure that causes the screen to be weaker than the materials used would indicate? Is this really much better than using inferior materials?
I can tell you're trying to make a point, possibly that people use religion to excuse their bad behaviour. Given your overall sarcastic tone, I will assume that you don't actually hold to any particular religion. So you take all the credit for willfully being an ass on yourself? Gotcha.
In fact, I didn't say it wasn't murder only in context of war, but you go with that. As for the other ones, please feel free to provide your address and I'm sure someone else who doesn't think stealing is a big deal will help you on your path to minimalism. Of course, they may also not have a problem with murder, but that's okay, too, right?
While I have no love for such fairy tales, the First Amendment guarantees that won't happen.
Phew, that's a relief! The government would NEVER subvert free speech!
/sarcasm
While I don't think there is any fear of an anti-creationism law being passed, I think it's more due to the right-wing nuts than any sentimental fondness on the part of the government for any of the various portions of the Bill of Rights that they ignore on an increasingly frequent basis. That said, I don't think creationism should be taught in science class, either.
Given the various statements in the Bible, and the general interpretations of the text, the more correct command in modern English is "Don't murder." War is only considered murder by the most liberal definitions. Following the more modern conventions of war (little things like not torturing prisoners, not killing soldiers who surrender at some reasonable point, etc.) the line is clearer.
I can't come up with anything I could say to get me arrested here (in the Netherlands) that wouldn't get someone arrested in America as well. Could you name an example?
"The Holocaust didn't happen."
Sure, it's crazy, and not true, but that's equally true of "The world is flat." But only one will get you arrested in many parts of the world, including where I live.
The reference was that the damages should not be punitive - a punishment for their behaviour. They were to fall somewhere around the reasonable licensing cost and the profits lost by Apple (or gained by Samsung, or something like that). So, damages, yes. Punitive damages, no.
Please insert the usual IANAL, just a layman's synopsis, please review the previous slashdot story, etc., etc.
Oh no, this has happened many times before in the UK. Usually it is politicians carrying top secret documents as they walk into Number 10, but the police and army have both been caught out as well.
So not only can we not assume malice where incompetence would suffice, but we should assume incompetence where good will would suffice, too? Either the UK Police are REALLY incompetent, or you should like my sig. Or both.
Agreed. Ultimately, software is like a house of cards. The nice thing is, you can set it up again reasonably quickly. If you want code as reliable as that on Voyager, expect the same cost per functionality ratio, inflated to current value.

You're another idiot in the long list of those who conflate two non-exclusive terms. Atheism vs antitheism.
Well, to be fair, it looks like the antitheists started it.
...Snatch. (2000)...
I never saw this in the theatre, and I'm kind of curious to watch it, but whenever I do a web search, damned if I can find a torrent.
So, the correct statement would be,

Even if they were slightly less safe, society could probably accept the MASSIVE advantages self-driving cars would have over manual.
I doubt it. People seem to want to be in control, even when their control is inexpert. I hope I'm wrong, though.
So what you're saying is that the iPhone has a design failure that causes the screen to be weaker than the materials used would indicate? Is this really much better than using inferior materials?
Somebody kill me.
You ignored the warning signs, didn't you?

The original MacOS that was probably still stuck on version 7 at that point.
The last pre-NeXT Mac OS was MacOS System 9, hence Mac OSX (OS Ten). No, it wasn't VERY much different from System 7.
Oh no, this has happened many times before in the UK. Usually it is politicians carrying top secret documents as they walk into Number 10, but the police and army have both been caught out as well.
