Or you can just set up automatic payments for everything. I'm neither wealthy, nor a school teacher, but every monthly payment I make is automatically pulled out of my bank account without my interference. Car loan, student loans, phone, cell phone, internet, water / sewer, electricity / natural gas, mortgage, city taxes, car insurance, house insurance, even retirement savings, and donations all just happen. My pay-cheque is direct-deposited as well, so really the only interaction I have with the bank is when something changes. Otherwise, all I have to do is check my monthly statements to make sure everything's fine. I've never had a late payment, since in general, it's not up to me to make the payment.
Yeah, I don't remember the last time I used real coins. I carry a grocery-store branded "quarter" in my car to unlock grocery carts. I use cash to buy coffee, since I buy from a micro-roaster who isn't big enough to bother with accepting plastic, but he prices things so that it's an even $10/lb, so I never have change from that. For just about everything else, I use a credit card (or debit). I pay for our parking meters via cell-phone, and I don't use vending machines (partially due to the fact that I never have change on me). To pay friends for things, I usually just round up or pay with a cheque.
The advantages are having a much lighter wallet. I'm not worried about losing a lot of cash if I ever get mugged, or more likely forget my wallet somewhere. My credit card gives me 1.5% cash back on every purchase I make, plus all the other benefits of using a credit card (warranty, contesting charges, insurance, etc..).
No, he meant queue. We're all busy spreading the latest iPhone jailbreak exploit right now. They'll have to wait in line for their turn to be Streisanded like everyone else.
If I called my boss "the worst boss I've ever met" in a public forum, then I'd likely be fired, and no one would raise an eyebrow. The forum to make these kinds of complaints is not a public facebook page, but the principal's office, and failing that, the school board. If that fails, then it's time to go public - and at that point, facebook still isn't the right medium - you need to go to the press. That is, of course, assuming she has a real complaint, other than a vague "she's a terrible teacher".
Yup, I'm just happy Windows 7 finally supports.mov files out of the box- along with just about anything else without need my a codec pack (mkv files do require a splitter)
Just because you don't know how to do it in Office, doesn't mean the functionality is not there. I don't know what support Office 97 has for styles, but in 2007, all your basic styles are on the "Home" tab of the ribbon. I can edit styles however I want to, open/edit/save style sets, etc.. The whole point of the ribbon is that Word 2003 (well, actually Access was the original motivation) had all this functionality that nobody knew how to use, or even knew existed. Styles have been around since at least Office 2000, and they're essential to getting document maps to function properly, but I've hardly ever seen anyone else use them until Office 2007 came out and they became the most prominent feature on the Home tab.
Except that Asimov never portrayed the zeroth law as a good thing - just an inevitable outcome of the three laws placed in robots with 20,000+ year lifespans and telepathy. The whole point of the Foundation series was to debate whether it's better for man to stagnate under the micromanaged control of the robots, or to start off on their own and face greater risks. In later books after the original trilogy, the decision is made explicitly against robot management of humanity, and for a galactic telepathic communal consciousness.
When you've been rooted, all you can do is format and reinstall from trusted media. Uninstalling the patch at least lets you access your data and hopefully copy it off before formatting.
For any home user that's running Win XP or earlier and not already running as admin, they'll log off, log back in as admin, and rerun the malware. For OSX/Linux/Vista/Win7 users, they'll happily enter their password when prompted.
Ideally they'd be made up of thousands of uniform pieces that could assemble into various forms as needed. They should be able to build more of those "blocks" as needed, to create copies, or replicas, of themselves. Also, those blocks should be able to communicate with each other via subspace.
I take it you've never bought a used computer? There's a huge market in old corporate computers. As they get obsolete, many of these get sold off cheap without hard drive or windows licenses. Guy in basement buys 20 of these, some cheap hard drives, images them with a cracked version of Windows and sells them at a significant profit. If you ask for a windows CD, you'll a burnt CD along with a drivers CD. If you ask further, he'll tell you that of course the windows installed on there is "for demonstration purposes" only. Since they're old computers selling for $50-$200, adding in the cost of a windows license would be ridiculous, but many people buy them, not realizing that Windows is installed illegally.
Yup, OneNote + a good tablet (stylus required) is THE setup to use for note taking. I haven't found anything else that can touch the indexing of voice for searching and the handwriting / math recognition.
Ooh, then you could just generate the picture in the computer itself and send the actual visible light through the fiber. The display would just have to re-route those lasers to the appropriate pixel on the screen.
There's plenty of scientists who can discuss these topics rationally and humbly, they just make for really boring television. Nobody wants to listen to details or actually learn the theories and math behind the headlines, we just want a fight.
Have you actually used powershell? They've predefined common aliases for most of the command (ls, cd, del - just type get-alias (or gal) to get the full list). All the parameters can be used both positionally, or as named parameters where you only need to provide enough of the name that it's unambiguous (usually one or two characters is enough). On top of all that, there is tab-completion for object members and such.
The purpose of the long, descriptive names is for writing scripts. I can use the abbreviated aliases and shorthands when I'm at the command line, and yet still write scripts that are legible, without having to look up whether -r means recurse or revision in a given context when I'm debugging a script a year later.

A whole year's worth of books is what? 30 MB? They'll be paying a premium just to find flash memory small enough that it would support a year's worth.

Yeah, I couldn't actually find any really good examples on youtube. I suppose the guys who are best at it aren't fiddling around on youtube.
No kidding. I'd be impressed if he was doing at that speed blind-folded, like many people can do with guns for example

Yea, I hate those Easterners who package up that synthetic arsenic and try and pass is off as "natural". Meat-loving jerks.
Well, then maybe there's hope of finding some fluorine based life yet.

Or even Ozzy doing whatever he was doing when he thought he was singing?
I'd much prefer to hear him sing than talk.

It'd work great until a few farmers, who sold to the government instead of the local underground, wind up dead.

Or just plug in a usb drive into any Windows 7 computer.
So get 10 horses and donkies working on it - then they'll be done in 1/10th the time.
Algebraic: (2 + 4) * (5 + 6)
11 keystrokes
RPN: 2 4 + 5 6 + *
