As an aside, though - Why would you "friend" a deadbeat you haven't even bothered to talk to in 20 years? Anyone I would want to have stayed in contact with - I did.
Perhaps this friend is an ex with which you are trying to hook up.
In most other countries, if you give notice, you are paid for the notice period even if the company decides to walk you out the same day. If they refuse to pay for your notice period, you can bring an unjustified dismissal lawsuit against them as you can treat that as being "fired without cause" and actually get more than what you would've gotten had they just paid you out. (Courts don't generally look fondly on dismissing people who give notice, and often such dismissal comes with severance pay).
So do you give 50 years notice the day you're hired?
Healthy skepticism, sure, insane "I absolutely refuse to believe this because it goes against my preconceived notions" is moronic. Video games and cognitive abilities have been related in the past. This, to my knowledge, is the first study that uses controls for different genres, but far from the first addressing the concept.
I don't think your paraphrase is an accurate representation of the OP.
So you're saying you're going to choose to disbelieve research that you don't want to believe in, on the basis of a purely hypothetical scenario for which there is no evidence?
Bravo.
I believe he's saying that a single study that yields unlikely (IHHO) results deserves a healthy dose of skepticism.
The calculator does not work for 0 data, i.e. not a fucking smartphone. That is how you really save. Get away from the fad of web access on a phone. Use your damn computer at home and quit posting to facebook while you're driving.
No, it's that after actually examining real technical issues they found the FUD was not FUD at all, but a reality based concern where web apps on Android was the only feasible approach given the funds they had.
I am surprised more companies don't go the web route to support android - responsive design helps address the broad scale with many small increments, and Google has focused a ton on Chrome speed improvements over the ability to update older systems with newer development frameworks.
Nothing of value would be lost if Florida suddenly was underwater permanetly. Other then a bunch of old folks who were probably near death anyway, brain dead party people aka animals, and just a bunch of ignorant and stupid people that make the rednecks in the southern usa look like einstein's in comparison.
I don't see how it's "entirely fan-made". Under current law, a translation of an audiovisual work's original script into another language is a derivative work.
Perhaps true, but actually preposterous. I can invent a contrived language that maps the dialog of one movie directly into the dialog of another movie (at least if there are only two speakers).
>We're discussing whether it is morally justified to support a person or organization whose profit from goods and/or services sold will be used in furtherance of the oppression of a political minority.
Last I checked the majority of Americans support gay marriage. So the reverse, those against it, are the political minority.
Um, no. The political minority here is the gays, not the gay-marriage supporters.
Yes, now they have justification to go after the "illegitimate den of criminals" to start shutting down BitCoin. The banks who control the world monetary system are not keen on to see any of these "unregulated" currencies gain any traction.
Yeah, those banks are just so worried about Bitcoin.
I'm not saying I'm for or against the card. But blaiming the state when you had options of getting the cash off free of charge. The cards are cheaper for the state then the paper checks.
Cards are only cheaper for the state because the company they partner with offers them to the state for free, with the expectation that a certain percentage of people will be make a mistake and hit one of the (many) fees, or use them as swipe cards and collect the ~3% swipe fees. In other words, it has merely shifted from an up-front and explicit cost (for distributing checks) to a hidden, higher behind-the-scenes cost. The cards are most definitely not free, or lower cost to the people.
For example, my state of Virginia also sent these cards out for tax returns. In their brochure they claimed you could withdrawal the money for free by going to a website and entering your bank info to transfer the funds. However, the form wouldn't complete if you entered the entire deposit amount - you had to leave off the amount for the fee. The company managing the cards claimed they had no knowledge of being able to get funds out without a fee (of course there's a transfer fee!), and the VA Dept of Taxation claimed they had no idea why I couldn't get my money for free.
I've never had to spend hours on the phone for a damn check. Virginia (and it sounds like Oklahoma, from the GP) sold us out. Fuck 'em.
I'm also in VA. I got mine without paying a fee. The website allowed me to enter the full amount. No problem.
I work at BAE - if you're looking in the Boston area, this could be just the place for you.
We work on stuff for UAVs, planning systems, EW, etc.
If you're interested, get me a resume and I can float it around. We're not doing a lot of hiring right now, but we have a bunch of ex-military folks who are real happy here.
No joke - let me know.
Careful, cowboy. It's generally unethical to approach guvies with job opportunities while they are still guvies. The whole conflict of interest thing is pretty serious.

Hadn't heard of that one ... another good reason to look down my nose at Apple.
It sounds like you are looking for reasons.

I believe it should say, "Write Windows Phone Crapps, No Code Required.
Not being a "Fat Ass" myself, I personally think everyone who goes around verbally abusing obese people is a pindick.
Interestingly, the more obese you are, the more you appear to be a pindick.
Isn't something that PROPELS an object, by definition, a PROPELLANT?

Unlikely results with good controls and p>>0.05. So congrats on that argument from personal incredulity.
It doesn't matter how good YOU think the controls are; it's still only a single study. Skepticism is still warranted on unlikely results.
So you're saying you're going to choose to disbelieve research that you don't want to believe in, on the basis of a purely hypothetical scenario for which there is no evidence?

If telling the truth about illegal activities is treason, I wonder what lying to the American public is in your book.
Unfortunately, it's called "The American Way" and is steeped in a very long tradition.

Please don't confuse the fandroids with facts.
I'm sure the code has been modified by now to show "better" results. "Version control? Why would we want old inferior versions?"
And if we used your voting method on this article, it probably wouldn't have hit the front page.
If want to save your tax dollars for something more useful, just post all your information on Facebook.
They should have launched from Australia. That would solve the arrow upside-down problem.

My irony meter pegged at 11 with "einstein's."
Either Jesus will come back and end everything before climate change makes a difference, or God will never let us hose His perfect creation.
The trouble is, there are folks in Congress who believe this and set policy based on it...
Maybe it's just time to build Noah's Ark II.
Could somebody translate that into Chicago-units? Here in the US we're having trouble visualizing this.
No, everyone knows you're supposed to use X times the size of Rhode Island.
