The one I really had issues with was a 5000 series, so that's probably part of it. The other was in a laptop (can't remember the specific gen).
The funny part about laptops is that up to a point, the nvidia linux driver tended to be BETTER, even considering wine etc. I had stuff that would run on 'nix+wine better than windows, because the Linux driver was updated whereas windows wouldn't take a generic driver (wanted the one for that laptop) and got out-of-date *really* quickly.
It's a big list, but I've still got some systems with older cards that I had trouble getting to work with the binary blob. Nothing bad about having a second choice in Nouveau.
I do agree with fglrx though. A lot of older cards were never supported (though the "Radeon" driver may cover them), and prior to the AMD buyout they tended to drop support rather quickly. Not sure about how well support is going these days, as most of my stuff is nvidia. The 6370M in my laptop is fine but it's still pretty new'ish.
a) They'd have to have such a deal with all carriers for it to be feasbile b) Not everybody *HAS* a carrier (think: tablets/wifi) c) Who cares if the carriers have app stores?
I think that perhaps instead of carrier, you meant manufacturer? Even in that case you've already got the "amazon app store" etc though...
Older cards don't even necessary have a binary driver that will work with them. Something like Nouveau will keep older systems ticking along, while also filling the gap for those that don't need the full support of the binary driver
In detective shows, it's usually where you've pulled up the piece of paper under the pad that was actually written on.
This would actually cause a problem in this scenario. If she had her pages stacked a bit when writing, then you'd have indentations from both the current page (sans ink) and the previous page(s).
When I was younger, I learned a lot from pulling apart code and examples. Whatever language and/or book you choose, I'd recommend something with a lot of example programs, etc.
It's one thing to see a big list of code and description of variables. Often you'll try and put them together and *damn* it doesn't work, which often leads to frustration and/or giving up.
If you have a progressive of working code (here's hello world, here's how to add numbers, here's how to get input from the user and add the numbers, etc) then pulling it apart becomes quite fun as you get to see the full structure. If you make a change and it blows something up... well then you know where the issue is. It's a bit harder when you're trying to build something from scratch and don't know where to start searching for the bug.
Ditto that. There were a lot of things that *sucked* about being salaried on my former position, including the extensive overtime and the tendency of the company to go cheaper on hardware/vendor-support due to availability of salaried employed.
But at a boss level, my boss often hung around extremely late when the techs were, ensuring that if there was something we needed (be it food, or something else that we needed to get/buy) he was available. He didn't hang over our shoulders - though he did check in for status updates - but he was there when we needed him. The sushi was good too.
Rental truck place: Truck didn't come in on moving day. After arguing I ended up with a 24" instead of a 17" (realllly fun to get through the parking lots, but better than the teeny ones they had otherwise).
Car rental places: Reserve a vehicle months in advance (something relatively small and fuel-efficient) only to find it's not in when I arrive (on-time). Get offered a boat instead. Find least boat-like vehicle, and the engine light comes on as I'm just about to pull out... apparently the last maintenance had been skipped. Over an hour to find a car which I could use. I got a price cut, but I was also late for my engagement.
Car rental places: Not my personal experience, but lots of people have issues with things like window cracks/chips, where they charge full cost to replace the window and then take it somewhere and just fill the teeny dint in the window, etc.
Or just the number of people who have actually dealt with rental companies before. (had good and bad before myself, but when it sucks, it *really* sucks)
Hell, even without the race card. I remember walking down the street and having older citizens edge over (I seem to remember one even crossing the street). White. No tattoos. No funky piercing. No colour hair.
Just 6'0", young, and wearing a somewhat faded jean-jacket.
Unsubstantiated fear isn't really a rational thing. If for some reason you've got it drilled into you that X people (where X can be a race, age, gender, or whatever) are an object of fear, then you're screwing yourself.
The personal-info issues with the DL scan aside, I'd imagine that credit-card companies might have something to say about merchants not accepting returns if a product was actually defective.
For the "oh I don't really want/like it" type of returns - unless the item has some major flaw that was not readily apparent - then if they reject the return it's GOOD. Big-box stores aren't rental chains.
My understanding is that there were long-standing attempts to negotiate licenses etc for technology. It's been blocked-up for a long time, and now finally came down to a decisive lawsuit.
I remember hearing about CSIRO patents quite awhile ago, but the legal wheels sometimes grind for a long time before such things have a public impact.
At least Telus (AFAIK) can unlock phones at all. Virgin (Bell) states they will unlock phones after 3 months. What the don't tell you is that they don't have the system in place to unlock the iphone at all. They *will* unlock other phones, but iphone users are out of luck... which of course we didn't find out about until asking to unlock the phone before going overseas...
At the end of ME2, you have the choice of either blowing up the collector base, or releasing a "pulse" which kills everyone inside it but keeps the base itself operational for "investigation" of the tech etc.
The video was pretty much the same, but your discussions with the Elusive Man are quite different.
Every subscription to our overpriced package comes with a free mercury enema, a $5 coupon for a bikini wax at Dan's house'o'duct-tape, and a bonus DVD "the sex life of the Royal family (1950)"
Cable companies are losing customers in *droves*, and AFAIK newspaper readership has also dropped dramatically. It's called adapt-or-die... and consumer choice means new balance to the equation.
Alice wants fashion. Bob wants sports. Guess what, now they *both* go online instead of paying $0.60 and the newspaper gets NOTHING. Similarly the cable-co's
Or... they can adjust the packages to make it attractive to the millions of people that otherwise won't bother. $2/channel * 10 channels * 1,000,000 people is still more than $40/overall * 100,000 people... a lot more.
Rather than going for the set-price, go for volume in happy customers.
but channels that cater to other ethnicities (Vietnamese, Korean, Persian, Russian, etc) would likely wither pretty quickly. Lifetime, Oxygen
Why? Overseas TV networks should be making enough on their own merit, so licensing out to a foreign country is just gravy. If they want too much, the channel is gone... no gravy for them at all. This is especially try when people can find a lot of that content online
I see no reason why I should be paying for somebody to watch a foreign-language channel. Before you consider me some white redneck... FYI, my fiancee is foreign/ESL... for news etc she' s pretty happy with this little thing called the internet. Ditto my grandparents who happily browse tons of foreign content, and recently discovered that they could buy books/etc from Europe via amazon and other such providers (for those that don't have 'net, there's this thing called niche entrepreneurship where I'm sure somebody could come up with a specialty service).
"He learned something when he took office. Something scary."
That when you have money and power (or friends with money and power), you can get away with almost anything and those that got your to your position aren't that important anymore?
Well, one thing is for sure, I'm impressed with the speed at which google crawls slashdot.
As for the exact function/definition of AMOLED, do you really need it to know the basic gist of the story (employees of Samsung were nabbed trying to sell trade secrets for display technology). If the article were about a new AMOLED screen, it might be more useful, but the story in this case was more about the bust than the actual tech.
Exploits of blogs, social media, search-engines and other such things have replaced traditional spam. Try looking for a way to unlock an iphone on Google or Bing. Most of the top pages are just fake news/info sites that are trying to sell something (often products that don't work) I recently emailed an educational institution to let them know that their CMS system was being hijacked by spammers peddling fake ebooks
Wordpress and other blogs are constantly being attacked, often with exploits used by either those intending to hijack the server, a viewer's PC, or the content in order to post spam.
Whatever deaths have occurred in the meltdown, the long-term health effects and pollution to the local (and possibly remote, depending on ocean currents) biosphere are as of yet unknown. Similar to deposits being found from leaking oil-rigs, we'll probably see effects from this long down the road (how major they will be... who knows)
EA took months to fix NFS: Shift on the android market.
It installed fine, but the content updater (which downloads the actual game content AFTER you've paid for it in the market) failed, and by the time you determined it was broken you couldn't get a refund (also broke the game for anyone who had previously bought and then updated or re-dl'ed)
Hundreds of complaints were ignored. See similar issues for many other products.
It used to be that police were more active in the neighbourhood. They'd have regular routes where they'd travel, and generally were known to those in the neighbourhood - were helpful - and had decent relations therein. When the police get to know the neighbours, and the neighbours get to know the police, then a mutual respect can often build that prevents foolishness.
Cities have gotten larger, but so have police departments. Why not bring back the "neighbourhood cop", and re-humanize the relationship between citizens and law enforcement.
