"Assault Rifle" is a military term for a rifle that can be fired as semi-automatic or fully-automatic. The SIG 716 isn't an assault rifle and a Corvette ZR1 isn't tractor trailer.
The author probably meant "assault weapon" but that's a meaningless word for "scary looking gun" The now-expired Assault Weapons Ban defined certain guns by model and feature but mostly it was about looking scary. The gun in question was released this year so it couldn't have qualified based on the model and I don't care enough to check if it would qualify based on cosmetic features.
You need to stop being a fontist. Computer Modern looks a lot like Century Oldschool and troff/postscript use Times. I check the justification before refusing to read something.
If Instagram had three jump-the-shark moments, the first was version 2 that removed and altered some filters. The second was the android version that brought in lots of new users and lots of mediocre cameras. The third was the facebook purchase.
I don't have flash on my computer. In my experience, 100% of youtube videos are html5 compliant on Safari/h.264. With Firefox/ogg/webm, a large number don't work.
Additionally, early versions of GIMP used Motif. Instead of using LesTif (which was equally ugly but FREE), they developed GTK/GDK which was the basis for GNOME.
The unemployment rate is 8.3%. Plus another 8% that no longer count as unemployed since they've been unemployed for too long. And some that retired or went on disability, so the unemployment rate is really 16-20%.
But that 16% isn't distributed evenly. Subprime mortgage lender? 100% unemployment rate. Silicon valley programmer? 0% unemployment rate. Ok, over 45, the unemployment rate jumps... but Zynga isn't going to hire them either. If Zynga will hire you, someone else will hire you.
hmm. I assumed it was short for "metrosexual". Some of my friends at MS called it BiCu (pronounced sort of like Haiku), short for "bi-curious". I think that fits since they're trying to target the Apple/designer/hipster crowd but they're also retaining legacy windows for the suits.
class action lawsuits are bullshit that enrich a handful of lawyers and does jack shit for everyone else. Hell, it's worse than jack shit since (if you were actually harmed) you can't bring your own lawsuit unless you opt out of the settlement (assuming you even know about it).
All mathematics? No. But math (including algebra) isn't just making sure you give the correct change in your menial fast-food cashier job, it's problem solving. And that doesn't exist (certainly not to the same degree) in other subjects.
3. The fact that the iPhone design was lifted from another product design seen by Apple's team isn't a surprise, it's how all companies work.
They didn't see it. Apple *read* (in an interview) about a prototype Sony was working on and then did a mock-up based on the description. Sort of a "What would Sony do?" or "How would Sony do it?"
Notes for the App Store version of Acorn which is now sandboxed:
The magic Acorn uses to automatically change the file type popup as you type in the Save sheet no longer works, for your security.
Using JSTalk to open up images that have not been recently opened will fail.
Sandboxing is a standard security term. And it's a fairly stupid one at that. It's more like you're in prison. But the prison warden doesn't want you to talk with other prisoners and plan a riot, so you're put in solitary confinement and there's limited input/output (food through a hole, mail is censored, talk to your lawyer once a week, etc). That's sandboxing. (I guess whoever came up with the term had a bad childhood that involved bing locked in a room with sand on the floor). A normal app can read/write to any file anywhere (assuming appropriate permission). A sandboxed app can only read/write files with explicit user permission (open/save dialog or dragging the file icon). For many applications, that's fine. But it doesn't play well with a lot of utilities or power tools. And some standard apps can't implement advanced features since they no longer have permission to do that.
"Assault Weapon" (as in "Assault Weapon Ban") is the legal/political term for scary-looking guns. "Assault Rifle" is a military term with a specific meaning. James Holmes did not (allegedly, lol) use an assault rifle.
Pay range for entry level agents in India is $200 - $350/month. Where are these cheap Americans that will work for $1.75/hour?
They're in 1971. Where minimum wage was $1.60/hour. $200/month isn't good or bad in and of itself, only relative to the cost of living. Rampant inflation has fucked us up the ass like Jerry Sandusky in the shower with a 10-year-old boy.
It could be for marketing -- people and journalists go around quoting the $200 price even though most people buy the more expensive one -- it's just $50 more... for twice the storage!).
There are three parts to retina graphics. 1. Is the hardware. Apple doesn't manufacture it, but they do select it. 2. Is the Operating system. The physical pixels double but the virtual pixels stay the same and the OS displays double-sized (@2x) images if available or pixel-doubles existing image (and they look like a bag of ass). 3. is the software -- it needs to provide double-sized (@2x) images.
Samsung or Dell can use a high-DPI screen but they're limited on OS modifications and convincing third party software to support it. Maybe android is better about scalable graphics, but Apple still has the advantage of synchronizing the hardware and software.
I can't build a cell phone without licensing (or infringing) every single cell phone FRAND patent. I have to use them -- those specific patents -- as part of the standard. I can, however, build a cell phone without swipe to unlock. I can build a cell phone with something better than swipe to unlock.

Has anyone tried the beyond meat fake chicken? It allegedly looks, feels, and tastes like chicken.

He just wanted billions and billions of dollars...

Kerosene lamps didn't replace whale oil because of government subsidies. And it wasn't because of Greenpeace, either.
Likewise, the electric light bulb didn't replace kerosene lamps because of government mandates.

GnuCash, perhaps?
Well they did finally re-compile Mac Quicken 2007 for x86 (only $15! to upgrade) so I guess they found the napkin. After a year of searching for it.

That also explains what happened to the Slashdot PT Cruiser.
All the companies I've worked for (in at-will states) would cut some benefits without the proper notice (like cashing out vacation/sick time).
