If you bothered to read and view the video you would understand that 3D in this case is depth, not building blocks, in this context a pixel makes perfect sense since a pixel is the smallest discrete component in a picture.
Really? Halal is pretty much defacto way of slaughtering these days (europe at least), turns out less stress on the cattle (=better meat) and as a bonus you got the muslim minority as customers. Sure as hell aint muslim, but I buy lots of halal, only meat i buy that isn't halal is bacon.
And if CC is going to lose a lot of advertisement over lag of prayer rug commercials, they are doing something seriously wrong...
Kinda funny what you yanks complain about. Here in Denmark I pay 8% on the base, then I get to deduct a few thousand kr for expenses that are in the interest of the state (e.g. union, pension etc.) - after that I pay 40% on the rest.
After that, when we go out to shop we pay an additional 25% VAT on normal goods - cars however are taxed 190% (yes, one hundred and ninety), gazoline is also heavily taxed (can't remember the rate, but we pay 10.5 to 11 kr per litre (around $2/l.))
Write and complain to your local consumer watchdog - here in the EU, even under force majure, the aviation companies are required to compensate travellers.
On top of that, here in Denmark, insurance companies have told customers who are currently stuck abroad that their insurance will be extended for the duration of their plight at no extra charge.
For those who haven't left yet, travel agencies have told their customers that they can have a full refund or bumped a few days untill this blows over.
1. No, "staying at the airport" is not more expensive for the travellers, even in force majure sitations like this, aviation companies are required to pay for the customers hotel and give enough money/coupons for travellers to eat.
2. People are scrambling for alternative transportation - only those going across the pond are in a really big mess, everyone else are being put on trains, busses and even taxis to get to their destinations (aviation companies are required to give alternative transportation and in this case it makes sense to put travellers on anything that moves in the right direction).
well that, and it has to be non-obvious, but if someone has already done the same thing with different materials it's no longer non-obvious when you do it.
Nah no worries there, at that point Apple et. al. moves their R n D department to China, mega corps gets to keep their patents and the rest of us suffer as usual.
You guys really should read up on international politics once in a while. Not only does the EU wield enough power to do this, they have already done this against the US with steel- the European Union is estimated at 500 million people (2010), that is a really big export market, taxes need not rise 4000% to get the message across.
Also, don't underestimate the impact of even relatively small markets boycotting a product. During the "Muhammed crisis" in Denmark, a lot of middle eastern countries boycotted danish dairy exports causing millions in direct sales loss, just imagine the aggregated effect of that.
Are you even living in the same world as the rest of us? The EU very much has the power and is sure as hell wielding it to get, especially, non conformist US corporations to play ball. The EU not only has the power to set the agenda, it has shown willingness to do so - on top of that, the EU has shown it actually works when ACTA got kicked out with 663-13 vote against it.
Regarding performance, I'm pretty sure you aren't allowed to do tests on an oracle database license. However, IBM SolidDB in memory option is faster than anything else - IBM itself states Solid is 10 times faster than DB2 - in my own tests I've seen Solid perform 15-20% faster than MySQL MyISAM, which is normally regarded as one of the fastest (not a real database I know, but still people point at MyISAM and says "It goes fast, must be best").
Absolutely true, but only because the firmware isn't out there yet. When its deployed I won't be able to play any of the games I've bought online, nor will I be able to play against anyone online, which pretty much degrades my PS3 to a glorified media player.
We are currently hiring (sorry Denmark). One of the sites we use for posting jobs asked if we perhaps wanted to use their HR department for vetting applicants - my response was HELL NO. I'll do the vetting for your exact reasons.
Your initial vetting should only have left you with 10 people tops, after that, initial interview should have narrowed your list to a maximum of 5.
Second interview you can drill your hearts out, personally I spent 15-20 minuttes drilling to get my bearings and when I found my candidate he got another 30 minuttes worth of drilling to make sure I was right - and if you don't find anyone on round two, you invite a new batch from the initial set.
I never did get my masters, my graduate grades where poor (did half of a masters and got excellent grades there though). I have never had problems landing jobs, 28 years old and earning over $100k.
Having a diploma shows you know how to read, it shows you know how to learn - these are important aspects of a company. Having experience working is also great, but fact is, every time you switch job you are in for a period of relearning - everything they do will be different from whatever you have done earlier.
First problem anyone needs to get past is being sorted out before interviews, writing resumes is a science, but it isn't that hard, there are excellent resources on how to do this, but in my experience, have a generic CV you attach to a personalized e-mail. In the e-mail write why you think you are good for them, but also very important, why you should work for them in terms of what you expect. Keep the CV short and to the point, I've been through hiring people and christ some people attach a lot of meaningless shit.
When you have landed the interview, be prepared! There are a lot of standard questions you will be asked: http://datsi.fi.upm.es/~frosal/docs/25mdq.html those 25 suggestions have served me well through my short career. Never lie during the interview, if you have shortcommings, mention them, tell them how you are aware of them and work on them. Show them you are aware of how business works.
Oh, and make sure you look clean. I know a lot of nerds thinks suits are evil, you don't necessarily have to wear a suit, check up on the dresscode at the company - but looking clean is important, if in doubt a nice shirt worn casually with jeans should be nice and neutral.
Also, Office Space while being exaggerated, does have a few points. Hiding in a cubicle will get you fired, showing you have balls and a meaning will often get you promoted - provided you use them at the right time.

No, mature people accept there are tools for the job and they get the job done.
Ahh the lovely annecdotal argument. Well played sir.
My old Sony-Ericsson w810i turned it.
Pretty sure my Nikon D90 does it too, haven't tried though, video isn't that interesting.
This does most of what you want out of the box.
There is a nice admin interface where you can create profiles based on day of week, per MAC etc. Block certain keywords.
Iran might become a valid target, but N. Korea has a few neighbours that might strongly object to the US turning mountains into a parking lot.
Yes, but off by one could mean he started counting elements at position 1 till the end, which would yeild 3.

The US has what now?

I'm pretty sure they count as terrorism and are against the Geneva Conventions.
You claim to have been doing this for 23 years and think MySQL does a nice job?

Read that, it might save your job... (Oh and most of those gotchas are still very much a problem in 5.0).

Except you can't play your current games since they require latest and greatest firmware...
Well thats a nice waste of resources...
