or expose your local bishop as anti-christian hate mongerer that he is. it's not hard to do really.
of course it's not easy if the people who listen to him are hatemongerer dolts as well. still, you could convince a few of them that the bishop is an asshat.
or you know, you could start a choga gym. same thing, different name. actually if your locale is stupid enough to fall for something that stupid a bishop says they might fall for that.
because seriously, you don't need to have studied the bible for that long to know that it has nothing in it saying that yoga is sinful. absofuckinglutely nothing. it also has nothing in it that would imply that praying to saints would bring good fortune though so theres that..
well. a couple. take current s6 firmware for example. draw down from the top and you see quicklink options that you can long press or quick press. if you want to see more of them you can drag down on any of them and you'll see more icons. do a long press on the wifi icon and you're taken to wifi actions. inside which you can do long presses to get more.
in the notifications area under those before mentioned icons if you drag a notification left or right and you can set settings for that kind of notification(there is no visual identification to do this). if you drag further it clears that notification. no indication about it either.
ios isn't as bad but it sure is drag from every corner does different thing too. and the sw way of telling app developers to add a back button at left up corner kind of sucks. hard to reach.
and I really would like the home and back buttons to be just fucking real buttons instead of capacitive areas.
no they give the 60% of the project cost of each company and the company pays 40%. that's the individual projects.
combined they are that 430 something million.
so sounds like they have multiple projects and each company runs their own project of which they pay 40%.
or rather.. come on.. it goes like this. the company gets the 60% from goverment and then uses that 60% to run the project as their own funds and pockets the 20% difference as profit.
well yeah I called bullshit on them being able to automate the cell stuff that early making it a real cellphone. I said as much.
look the idea itself, sure. but we didn't have consumer technology to make it happen at that point in time.
so we could not have had cellphones decades earlier. look, they had not rolled out automated telephone exchanges in most parts back then. they didn't have the computers available to handle the cell exchanges.
i'm 100% sure they knew the problems that they would need to fix and fcc probably too so why give spectrum for something that they are decades away from finishing rnd on?
if they had already developed the necessary technology they would have demoed it and rolled it out in the fifties.
regular nmt was shit easy to listen to and the carphones that came before were even easier - and those had an operator patch/dial your call. cops could ask their operators to patch them through. does that make cop radios cellphones? no.
and yes, I vote bullshit on the article. sure we had radios. we didn't have the automation to handle traffic and connecting the calls and THOSE are largely what counts as a cellphone vs. a radio.
MPAA and RIAA logic has more money being lost than what is actually available.
If they somehow magically managed to stop copying, it wouldn't make them more money. instead people would flock more to youtube and indies that are literally giving their stuff for free.
nevermind that riaa is already giving their stuff for free on youtube themselves.
a better count could be achieved from someone like facebook.
because anyone, any one of us, could download it from play store and it is FAR MORE LIKELY that we would do it from the play store than from apkmirror etc.
in other words the real device count could be like 50 000.
look, one of the keys to making freedom stay is simple, you don't allow people to sign out of the freedom.
look - if you allow arbitration for consumer issues then you might just as well cancel all consumer protection laws while you're at it.
so again, allowing companies to ask you to sign for arbitration is stupid. everyone knows that the end result is consumers getting screwed over.
They are free to set the terms under which they'll agree to pay you (with service). You are free to set the terms under which you'll agree to pay them (with money). If both of you can come to equitable terms, then the trade happens. If you can't agree, then no trade happens.
in case you didn't quite follow it, allowing arbitration allows the company to change the rules of the agreed contract and the resulting confrontation is then resolved in a closed court chosen by the company behind closed doors. it's a switch and bait. the terms of the transaction are changed or the terms of it are hidden in before.
and really you shouldn't allow it because then it will soon expand to starbucks as well and everything else - maybe all car companies start asking for it. recall? no, don't need. you agreed already to settle the issue at your expense behind closed doors and also to never tell anyone.
look I wouldn't mind if the arbitrator was am actual neutral 3rd party but that's not how arbitration works and everyone knows that.
well.. go to Russia 2017 mkay? but don't be gay okay?
or some well chosen place in Africa.
so why not lump them together? because blasphemy kind of needs it. you think Pakistan would be different if they were ultra right wing buddhists? of course not. It would still be a religious backwater place with authoritans trying to fight other authoritans for power to get power - that's really the whole point.
someone calling you while filling the questionnaire would also mark you as an id thief.
using a touchscreen would do that.
answering a message in the middle of filling it would also mark you as an id thief.
the whole point of the study is this: if you need to look up something you're likely to not be able to answer as quick and straightforward.
it's the kind of a study you can make a hypothesis for easily and verify it easily and provide something that can be presented like it is a solution possibly with further study for a real life problem. perfect academic research in other words.
and let me guess.. they gave another group sheets of info they had to look the stuff from and another told just to answer as themselves.. yeay.
why you just not say that "followers of islam use it for personal power more often".. or something along those lines.
thats what it really is. btw buddhists can be violent about other religions too when it suits their group interests.
the state religious police is a power faction that has power so it tries to keep the power and in order for it to matter it has to keep using said power. now.. why the fuck would you do business with countries that do shit like that? you shouldn't. and not with other countries that do the same thing under some other pretext.
besides isn't mecca pretty much the only fucking place where different muslim sects can co-operate peacefully?
you need that mouse pad now with you.. so.. uh.. what the frig. why not have all the sensing in the pad as well and you could have a super light(or super heavy if you choose) mouse.
I think the point is that he was expecting 3rd world service because they charged him only 10 bucks.
however..
In Thailand I could if I wanted spend a night in a private hospital for about 20 to 50 dollars depending on the level of the room I wanted for my stay - or practically free in the government hospital.
just because you have government hospitals does not have to mean that you can't have private hospitals.. however if you have only insurance company private hospitals guess what.. they're going to cost a shitload of money - and that shitload of money you have to pay in advance even if you didn't need the service because that's good business(for them).
The important element is actually the thermal mass of the refrigerator, which allows the compressor to cycle. You could do the same thing for a computer, but it is an extra piece to make it work-- roughly 5 gallons of water in the fridge would be enough mass for a 200W computer.
it wouldn't affect at all. the fridge is an insulated box. your 5 gallons of water would only help if you were occasionally using the computer and having it in hibernate rest of the time. it doesn't help with the base thing that a normal fridge compressor cannot cope with the constant heat generated inside the fridge and it will run constantly and the heat inside the box will keep going up.
having more thermalmass only makes it happen slightly slower.
look. this isn't a widely used idea because it is stupid. most of the time you could use it only for the cpu if it was cheaper to overclock a cheap chip than to buy a more expensive chip. most people who come up with this idea don't actually know what a fridge does, so they abstract the fridge into a magic box. after you look what a fridge does, this seems less ideal. after you look at the benefits you get from going from ambient 23 celsius to 3 celsius, it seems even more stupid. after you look at what it takes to proof it against condensation and ice, it starts to look even more stupid.
but back to the dorm fridges. lets say your fridge has an efficiency of 50%. lets say your pc consumers 400 watts of power in gaming. your fridge has to be consuming 800 watts while you play and NOT MANY FRIDGES CAN DO THAT - your typical fridge cannot cope with a constant heat load that big - it will be running full time and STILL the temperature inside the insulated box will keep going up.
in addition your electricity bill will go up so much that you would be better off buying a better gpu anyways, even if you had an industrial freezer with enough btu to keep your rig cool.
in addition, you would have to dump the heat outside. so really you would be better off just buying an aircon unit in the first place and using that to cool water and use that to cool your pc components if you want to go extreme - or just pipe the aircon unit into the box - because THAT IS THE CHEAPEST WAY to buy enough capacity that can handle the heat load from the computer.
and really it's not worth it now, there was a time when you would get gains enough to be kind of worth it(dollarwise), but not nowadays.
Theres a lot of money in minecraft-like games and I'm sure notch had lego in mind (along with dwarf fortress) when he came up with the game.
I think a lot of people, even programming nerds, are missing pretty much completely that technicalities and resources dictated quite a lot of minecrafts design.
the blocks are a necessity to be able to handle it. the blocky nature and how that preserves memory and makes memory consumption of the world predictable is what makes the whole thing possible at all. it's not like it was a design aesthetic choice as such.
..yeah. that one. learn what you're even asking and you might have the answer.
the question "how do I get into AI?" makes sense if you don't know shit all nothing about state of AI.
it's not like you have to have a degree but it helps because NOBODY FUCKING KNOWS WHAT AI IS. those who claim to know the most are usually futurologists who know even less than you(which makes them able to spout all the bullshit they want).
Do you want to get into machine learning? object recognition? download opencv and play around. some people call that AI, some people don't.
you see, right now, companies will splatter AI on everything that 25 years ago they would put "fuzzy logic" on - yet nobody actually has actual artificial intelligence. some companies have facsmiles of AI - again, not the same thing. nowadays you could get away with a regular old fuel injection system and calling it AI. seriously.
Basically, anything that analyzes anything can and will be called AI. it's not right but that's how it is.
*That functionality is not a design defect. If it is a design defect than every single application object capable of invoking external scripts and executables are also design defects.*
the design defect is that it's not running them in a sandbox. it very well might be running them in a sandbox and the script uses a defect in the system to break out(most likely). possibly that part links to the link preview functionality since you need the action to sprout out from a mouse hover(if it didnt need that they would have done it that way)
BESIDES.. NO APPLICATION IS SUPPOSED TO BE DOWNLOADABLE FROM THE INTERNET AND EXECUTED WITHOUT ASKING THE USER. this is a clear defect in the product, since this is against ms policy of how windows should run - you can't INTENTIONALLY download a program without it nagging about if you really want to run it or not.
futrhermore it is a design defect that breaks ppt functionality if you're supposed to be running those ps scripts to display content inside the ppt, since they are not available on all platforms that have ms published ppt viewers.
I seriously doubt that in this case executing the script with the root rights is the intended effect.
anyways, I know you're just trolling. because surely you would have personally used _some_ ms product and why the fuck wouldn't you if they were successful because they're good.
Before you scoff at this as random trolling, think about what the odds are that Adobe, Autocad, and any real software packages are going to take a 30% haircut required by the MS store to run on this turkey. Sure MS programs will be there but Steam worn't be, nor will much else useful other than a sub-section of Windows Phone apps.
adobe and others already moved to subscription as a pre-emptive move during windows 8 launch. they saw it coming and did that.
and that did put a little damper on MS. it wasn't a secret that all the pushing of the unfinished win8 store and metro apps was fueled by the hope that they could get 30 percent of all desktop sw.
do you know why simply having vast amounts of more memory in a computer doesn't make zip algorithm much better? it just doesn't help. you can't just make the dictionary larger and larger and expect benefits from it with arbitrary data, pointing to that dictionary is going to start taking the same amount of bytes as you're getting out from there, because otherwise your pointer to the dictionary would point to multiple entries and that just doesn't work if you want to decompress.
same with the hash. it would be even expected that you would find a false match before the right one.
Slashdot Mirror
uh maybe you should move out of vatican.

What menu operates like that?
well. a couple. take current s6 firmware for example. draw down from the top and you see quicklink options that you can long press or quick press. if you want to see more of them you can drag down on any of them and you'll see more icons. do a long press on the wifi icon and you're taken to wifi actions. inside which you can do long presses to get more.

*Perhaps the ethical thing to do would be to inform the manufacturers and give them reasonable notice prior to simply dumping the information online*
well yes. but deploying this tool equaled to dumping the info online or not?
no they give the 60% of the project cost of each company and the company pays 40%. that's the individual projects.

well it's a lot easier.
if you break it down it starts to sound a lot less like AI though, so there's something for the guy who was asking slashdot.
regular nmt was shit easy to listen to and the carphones that came before were even easier - and those had an operator patch/dial your call. cops could ask their operators to patch them through. does that make cop radios cellphones? no.

actually no the condensation isn't the main problem. and you can fight that with greases and such in the right places.
the problem is that fridges aren't magical cooling boxes.. they work within limits of physics.
exactly what I was thinking.
