Aren't icons tied to a theme and/or customizable anyhow? Last time I checked this was the case, so one should be able to change them if so desired, unless that's now changed and you're locked into the default set.
I've seen this happen - recently on 8.1 in fact - but only ever on networked drives, and generally when there was a fair but of other stuff going on with the drive/folder.
I seems to me that a good "break even" point for solar would be air-conditioning/cooling. The need for cooling is directly comparable to the heat of the day,which is fairly closely tied to sunlight. AC is also a pretty big source of grid drain and/or larger power bills in the summer months.
If one could make an efficient solar AC system that would fit on most homes, that would be a fairly saleable product IMHO.
Indeed. I am a few friends all are what would likely be considered voracious readers. I believe I got my kindle touch about 2.5 years ago, and I've got about 250 ebook purchases in my library now. I also still buy physical books, but generally that's for certain authors/series I've been following/collecting, and it's vastly outnumbered by my digital library in terms of purchase volume.
Why do I like the eReader * It's just as easy on the eyes as a book. Easier in some cases as font-size is adjustable * If I finish a book, and there's another in the series, I can just grab it * Holidays, etc... it's *MUCH* easier to pack an eReader than a half dozen paperbacks * Most eBooks are priced more reasonably than print, with the exceptions of some major authors * With the above, I've found a ton of AMAZING authors * Suggestions based on my reading: which led me to many of the above
Features I wish my eReader had * Solar charger * Waterproof * Backlight tinted for night viewing (non-sleep-interrupting, I don't have a backlight at all on my model though) * Ability to follow a series. Possibly an author. I'm not sure if I'm just not finding this feature or if Amazon is really missing the ball here, but it seems it would be an extremely convenient feature to get notified of new releases and beneficial to them from a sales perspectivel
I can't comment on other readers because I don't have one. The may have or lack some of the features of mine.
I do agree that whomever gave the kid a "toy" gun without the red tip shares blame in this... it's there for a reason (also wondering if there are laws in regards to this, but I haven't heard whether the toy was altered or came without the red tip).
However, having watched the video, the reaction is pretty crazy. Basically the police car zips into the park, the cop jumps out and almost immediately opens fire. It was EXTREMELY aggressive. No time to assess the scene, or for the kid to drop the weapon, stand down, whatever. They might as well have just planted a sniper on the roof and shot the kid from there, for all the warning he had.
Yeah, just looking at the "real" vs "generated" photos. Noses don't really match up on most of them, nor do eyebrows. The chin is sorta close but without any of the other defining facial characteristics (age lines etc) it's pretty ambiguous. Also, the generated photos have cut out most of the upper-jawbone area so one can't even compare that.
IMHO they seem to be able to give you a decent approximation of the skin tone - minus blemishes - but not much other than that. I'd think that these might actually be counter-productive as you're going to get lots of people that match in a generic way, but the actual match is going to be different enough that people would say "nah, the nose and eyebrows don't match up" or whatever.
You'd be limited where you can plant it. To really grow, I believe bamboo requires a fair bit of water (although it seems to stay alive for a long time without much, it doesn't grow much), and it does NOT like the cold.
So you'd need someplace that's hot all year with plenty of fresh water. Not the easiest thing to come by these days.
Ironically, the one thing that I've toaster ovens don't do quite very well is make toast. The only one I saw that did toast half decently was my grandmother's toaster oven that actually had a toast slot that popped open in the top (and the burners tilted when it was in "toast mode").
"Your honor, the plaintiff's files are now complete safe. They're in no danger. Unless the new Jaguar that is parked just outside your office in the no park zone. The one for which the keys have been put.... right... here"
There really seems to be no logical/moral ideas behind these decisions.
Want your employees to stay, give them working conditions and wages that encourage them to do so. (that said, it may be hard to compete against Apple pay-wise).
Apple et al already got crucified recently for agreeing not to "poach" employees (i.e. offer them a better pay/benefits to work elsewhere), and it was rules anti-competitive and illegal. Non-competes are similarly stupid and evil.
HOWEVER, if those employees are sharing corporate secrets or confidential data gleaned from their work with A123 with Apple... that would seem a reasonable grounds for a lawsuit.
Some of the mid-range and many upper-range Dell laptops do 1920x1080. It's more common on 17" screens so you do end up with a larger laptop as well. Some HP laptops also have 1080P displays, and 1600x900 used to be common on various models.
I remember seeing a dell laptop in the past that did 2200x1200 or something like that. I was very tempted to buy but unfortunately it was one of those affected by the flakey GPU's that tended to desolder themselves over time.
The sad part is that Blackberry, which preceeds both iOS and Android devices, did the permissions/request model best. Unfortunately they underestimated the power of "apps" and a touchscreen, and for whatever reason the other vendors went with a more lax permissions model (that said, Android is decent when rooted with some 3rd party stuff, but it's hardly an option for the average person).
Payment cards, as in train passes etc perhaps, but my experience has been that overall Japan has a comparatively low credit-card penetration compared to North America, and in many areas is still very cash-centric. It's a bit of a shock to find that even many major chains (McDonalds, etc) don't necessarily take Visa in Japan.
But these days I tend to recommend Asus. Certainly they can cost a bit more than an HP/Acer, but they're fairly solid and have a decent warranty. My only real complain is their preference for 1366x768 resolution laptop screens...
" you are letting them DOWNLOAD the Javascript to their computer and then run it"
In a simple form, yes. Sometimes, however, that involves a rats-nest of includes, "minified" files (all whitespace stripped, sometimes variables stripped of any useful naming as well), etc.
It wouldn't be hidden from the browser, but obscuring Javascript isn't exactly hard, and "exploit" could just mean something that's a useful situation in situation X but bad in situation Y (accessing a microphone/camera, for instance).
"Marshall is a small town that has been a hotspot for patent lawsuits for more than a decade now. US District Judge Rodney Gilstrap, who presided over this trial, oversees far more patent lawsuits than any other federal judge."
There are many things that can be done to reform the patent system. Perhaps something that could be done to reform the "justice" system is to restrict/reform this bullshit cherry-picking of venue.

Just order one of these and hook the drive up to USB on the newer machine.

To be fair, I've seen similar in 'nix as well.
Wouldn't the HTML5 version be less CPU-hungry than the flash app-container-plugin version?

So when do allergies develop? I'm all for building immunity but if the kid DOES have a reaction at infancy it could be pretty deadly...

You mean the call that said "I think it might be a toy gun"?

I was thinking more of consumer equipment, where the warranty papers are oft-times only useful if you've run out of toilet paper.
Their favourite strategy seems to be "in case of defective design, replace the same part that broke continuously until the warranty runs out"
"the only one which is as popular is Sony"
Never bought an HP product, have you?
MO sounds quite similar.

Except that BB STILL has one of the best permissions models...
And my toaster DOES have the best permissions. Toast goes in, it toasts. No internet access :-)
There's no reason other smartdevices couldn't have used a similar permissions model to BB.
The sad part is that Blackberry, which preceeds both iOS and Android devices, did the permissions/request model best. Unfortunately they underestimated the power of "apps" and a touchscreen, and for whatever reason the other vendors went with a more lax permissions model (that said, Android is decent when rooted with some 3rd party stuff, but it's hardly an option for the average person).
Yes, and considering that all somebody needs to do to check your pin is read the heat signature on a pad after you've used it that's a pretty low bar.

So if you've got the remote, and have to push the button anyway, why not tap in "77" to change the channel rather than using voice commands.
Yes, I realize voice commands can do other things, but what are they really useful for?
