'typing in'..?
No one types check amounts in these days...I'm betting there was a spreadsheet error and we know what software was involved ('Microsoft/ADP Payroll Services'...formally Navision) so MS is hanging from their own petard on this one, sorry.
If you're on the highway and Conficker goes beep beep. Just step aside or might end up in a heap. Conficker, Conficker runs on the road all day. Even the coyote can't make him change his ways.
Conficker, the coyote's after you. Conficker, if he catches you you're through. Conficker, the coyote's after you. Conficker, if he catches you you're through.
That coyote is really a crazy clown, When will he learn he can never mow him down? Poor little Conficker never bothers anyone, Just runnin' down the road's his idea of having fun.
...time for the obligatory MS topic brought to you by the agreement to keep their flag flying high on/. That only leaves 6 or 7 more to complete the daily cycle.
In 2006, China govt. mandated that all mobiles manuf. after a specific 2006 date had to follow a standard charging connection configuration. Works for me:)
Mulling simply indicates the early stages of contract renewals, not necessarily a tug on the tiller.
SameOldSameol...unless they wake up before signing day and understand that it actually takes money to renew a contract, in which case, given the times, 'free' has a nice ring to it.
A similarly configured Chinese mobile phone takes one hour to recharge with forty minutes talk time. Sit near a window or go outside...the sunlight will do you good:)
Solar charging is simply one attribute of the overall 'green' theme, which includes being made of and packaged in recycled materials. The take-away is the move towards 'green', not just solar charging.
The 'cloud' is a metaphor for the Internet - not for a controlled service from Google or Amazon. 'cloud computing' is defined as software-as-a-service over the internet which means a major factor outside a controlled environ.
Berkeley, in the exec. summary says "The datacenter hardware and software is what we will call a Cloud."
Thus 'cloud' has been hijacked and redefined for purposes of... I prefer to stick to the original definition and not ignore it. Of course, by their definition, their model and their proposal fits their conclusions nicely.
"Moreover, companies with large batch-oriented tasks can get results as quickly as their programs can scale, since using 1000 servers for one hour costs no more than using one server for 1000 hours."
Is that a given? Is it that simple? I think that statement assumes too much...
As an example, it assumes all servers are operating on the same grid, in the same environment. Last time I checked, the cloud was the epitome of vagary.
> at the end of the day it's a handful of folks vs. the rest of the world.
Don't be silly - that 'handful' made the product that the 'rest of the world' uses. If the world had the absolute control you infer, it would have made the product up front.
Because/. admins will manually drop your karma if you don't say good things about MS...?

Remember, investing in MS is risking having your own money used against you in the marketplace. Spend it on something worthwhile, like, er...NetFlix. OH! And a/.subscription!
Once the public learned about the 3 app limit, the reason(s) to pirate (for those that must use MS products, at least) floated right back to the top of the priority list.
How many times have I told you guys... first you short the receivables and then you steal the goods. Damn govt. employees can't even get a simple thing like scraping off the top right.
U.S. Presidents have had subcutaneous tracking implants for some time now.
Given a bit of technical savvy, those are no different when it comes to anyone being able to locate the Pres.
In addition, you could strip him of tech hardware completely and the plethora of social indicators easily associated with his daily routine would still light him up like a Shenzhen cathouse.
Except in Oregon, where the first one to exhibit politeness in a manner consistent with their last four stops gets to wait on the other, regardless of left, right or weaponry. Chevy Suburbans are excluded, as usual, and get to go thru without stopping, signaling or giving a healthy shit.

The Sabre isn't taking anything into orbit, then, is it...
FTFA..."As the air density falls with altitude the engine eventually switches to a pure rocket propelling Skylon to orbital velocity..."
>"...the Sabre rocket engine will be able to take the Skylon with 12 tonnes of cargo..."
That should read "two Sabre rocket engines will be able to take a Skylon with 12 tonnes of cargo..."
That is 13.225 US Short Tons...or approximately 6 tons per engine, if the illustration is any indication.

Over designed...?
