True, but it's generally good to build on the work of others rather than re-make the same mistakes.
There was another guy who made a modern forum system from scratch in the style of slashdot. I believe he made the source available as well. The forum is http://pipedot.org/ . The software is available at http://pipedot.org/ .
There was no call for it because they charged a significant amount to 'rent' a battery pack. The problem was you had to go back to the same battery swap area later on and return the rental and pick up your (now fully charged) original battery pack. That, added to the cost of the rental (~$100???) made it a no-go for people that were used to either not paying for charge or having the charge buried in their home electricity bill.
On the other hand, if they charged $10 to swap out a battery pack for another which was fully charged, they would have had more interest. The reason they couldn't do that is that they can't easily keep track and bill/credit the car owners for damaged battery cells that get swapped in and out.
Back in the 1990s you'd get the occasional feelgood story on TV about someone using stacks of coupons to get a cartload of goods for a couple dollars.
They'd use multiple double or triple coupons with a series of other coupons and such to make many of the items free when you bought them with other items that were heavily discounted.
If these people used a flaw in the gift card system, it sounds like something similar.
I'm not sure about this album, but his live album 'Best. Concert. Ever.' is fantastic. Love every song. Just have to cut out the last song from the playlist when my kids are listening to it.
I have ~8000 songs and Banshee takes forever to start up. Upon startup I get a grey shell of the main window for about 5 seconds before anything happens.
Other than that, it seems to work fine.
This happens with the same music collection among several computers and recurs about a week or so after wiping out the config files.
So, assuming you're not yet another iPhone-fanboy Apple disciple here to troll anything about Google, do tell us: what's your genius solution given the different realities of Android and the inherent restrictions? Since you in all your endless wisdom must have already "figured out how to make this work".
Nice 'Apply Fanboy' dig to hopefully curb discussion.
Of course Google doesn't make much hardware (baring the Nexus 6P). But it's their OS and they have influence in how the OS can be updated.
I would suspect they should be able to figure out how to do updates of the OS and keep the junk that the carriers require on their phones and keep everyone generally happy.
As for the hardware requirements going up, the OS must have a journal of minimal requirements for the OS. The question is whether the minimal requirements are being kept artificially high. After all, it's not uncommon for a 2-3 year old iPhone to be able to run the latest iOS with (at worst) only slight sluggishness.
My friend told me as much. He said he's got three levels between him and Jamie Dimon.
That being said he also has a 3 acre property with a 7000sq foot house in Long Island, so I'm thinking he's just being modest. He's a nice guy once you get him to talk about anything but blockchains.
He can only get in trouble with it if he uses it to illegally reveal classified materials.
The great thing about a Trump presidency is that the rest of us learn about the limits of the powers of the presidency.
By definition he cannot leak classified materials. He apparently has the ultimate power to declassify anything. The fact that he says or posts something publicly means that it's declassified.
It's almost surreal. Given how low Firefox's market share is getting, Mozilla should be in a state of total panic right now.
I heard an advertisement for a Mozilla podcast. Maybe they're flexing into that?
If not, maybe they decided that their mission statement is complete and are just shuttering the windows and closing down completely. If so, it's probably unique in the annals of the business world.
My wife wants me to look into this sort of thing for a door from the garage into the house. Take pictures when someone enters the house from that entrance and send a text to us if it's entered during work hours.
Reason: My daughter is old enough to be coming home from the bus and enter the house on her own. My wife wants to make sure she isn't coerced into opening the house for a burglar/home invasion.
Yeah. I think it's ridiculous (which explains my procrastination), but happy wife = happy life.
Wall Street's obsession isn't BitCoin. It's blockchain technology. They're seeing it as a cure for thousands of unrelated issues.
BitCoin isn't even their focus. The software is freely available. They're looking to make their own forks (multiple) of LiteCoin and go from their.

Maybe a better sort of mouse or a combination of a mouse and a better windowed environment?
ie: A mouse with buttons on it to shift to next or previous screen (either physical or virtual)
or
A windowing environment with hot spots that let you just to a similar area on a different screen (call it teleport). When you go to the hot spot it pops up all your physical and virtual screens and you select amongst them.
Also, with these sort of setups it's important to highlight where the mouse is better. Maybe make the non-active desktops a little darker and the one with the mouse a little brighter?
These are stupid suggestions. I would hope windowing desktop developers can come up with something better.
Dermatologists are looking towards extinction as well.
BTW, as a physician who spends half his day in the hospital and half in the office, I average speaking to a radiologist about once a year.
You could replace all the radiologists (excepting interventional radiologists) in the U.S. with IBM's Watson and a dozen humans for over-reads. You don't go into radiology if you're a people person.
Which is of course when they'll yank that carpet out under your feet and charge you through the nose for... well, anything you might want or need.
But is there any evidence that Amazon has done this? Either raised price (not just have a elevated price in a particular area, but differentially raised price in an area) based on location or just refusing to ship to a region of the country that they were otherwise shipping to?

Opps. The source is available at https://pipecode.org/ .

Pretty sure my plumber is making that much.
Ditto my physician.
Perhaps this study is biased?
I was in both northern and southern India last month and had absolutely no problem accessing /. (or any U. S. news agency I was looking at).
Maybe the contributor has a bad gateway near him?

Personally I believe that any engineering degree + any professional degree is a killer combination.
One in 20 words is wrong?
How can a human transcriptionist be that bad?
True. But that would be fraud and I would hazard a guess that it would have been mentioned as such.

Still not going to run Windows on my PC.
Got rid of that chain 10 years ago. Not going to shackle myself again.

Forgot to mention: The music starts at 5:40 on the YouTube video.

Thanks for the ad for the new album. Totally didn't realize he had something new.
That being said, that's one sad music video.
MP3 players should play MP3s. Not download or play alternatives.
Post-processing is nice, though. More mp3 players should have more robust post-processing.
I use banshee, but only because of inertia.

Anyone have humongous ads on the top of the /. page that are fixed and block half the page's content?
I adblocked the frame and get an empty frame up there now. Still there when reloading the page.
This sucks. Will try again later.
