I think the problem is that the new system should account for this as well. Unless/. wants to run the perpetual beta tag on it like Google.
Replacement systems should always consider the functionality in the previous systems that the users liked. Looks like they missed one here.
So what that means for me is abandoning the new system and continuing to use the old unless/until they address this. And that makes the effort in creating the new system wasted to me.
At that company maybe. The most common drive letter I've seen assigned is F:\<dirname>. That seems to be the typical server side assignment for shared fileservers.
Forget user, the Fortune 500 natural gas pipeline company I left in December got hit with Conficker last year. Their virus defs were WAY out of date, desktops were 100+ Windows updates behind, just a sad state of affairs. Of course, only IT people have admin access (a good practice... strange for that place though) so they cannot run their own updates.
I've heard they still don't have tape backups working properly, nor SCCM pushes to a second domain. And the Sr. Director of IT spent time "writing" (actually "borrowing") a project management dashboard in PHP and Javascript (mind you, the company has 4 dev teams, and there are dozens of PM Dashboard apps including some nice OSS packages) rather than address these issues.
Sure, in its current form. Once you add the 6 speaker sound system, temperature control, power windows, etc... I wonder what the curb weight will be then?
Nothing at all like a motorcycle.
I liked the idea of the new(ish) Tata being sold in India. They discussed bringing it to the US but the safety regulations would have double the price of the car, and for now it looks like they're punting. Mind you, the safety regs are a good thing, but most of them make the car heavier.
Funny you mention how bulletproof they were. My 80 5-door was where I learned how to regain control in slick weather...by forcing it to 4 wheel drift in the rain (loved the RWD on them). I was pretty hard on the car.
I sold it to a buddy at about 120k miles. He delivered Domino's pizza in it for about a year before totaling it on the freeway. That car would have lasted quite a while if not for that.
I had the "5 door" white, looked like an egg. And for some odd reason I agree with you, to the tune of looking once in a while for one for sale to drive around in it a bit. It would be a lot cheaper than my second car, which was a '72 Challenger.
This American drives an S40. I actually have a pickup that rarely gets driven, and is only used for (shocker) hauling stuff when I need to. My S40 is terrible when it comes to picking up lumber.
I don't know that I agree with you... I don't think this is a very attractive car at all.
That said, it would still be worth looking into. I don't try to make a statement with the appearance of my car.... I got over that when I was about 20.
I'm curious though. I don't know enough about battery technology, and probably wouldn't understand if I hit a few websites to learn more at the deeply technical end of the pool. Is LI the only way to feasibly go on these? You cannot refurbish LI, so it would seem you're creating another non-green problem by using cars like this.
I actually went with Clear for two reasons. The first was as you said (though I pay $40/mo)... it's a better deal than any of the cell services offer. Second, it gave me a bit of redundancy as I use the Tether app on my BB and Android through AT&T. If one goes down I have the other.
I didn't find any better deals in the Houston area, though I would guess competition will start heating up now that LTE and HPSA+ are rolling out... maybe a year from now you'd see better prices.
On an Apple ][e where you went into a vector based room, saw some glitchy movement, "shot" your Luger, and about 4 seconds later know wether or not you died or killed him?
Interesting comment. This thread made me search on call of duty hacks. If you believe everything you see there's an aimbot out there which also shows you in the UI where all enemies are and what looks like their current health (I watched a video on it). I didn't read enough to know whether there was a sensitivity setting, but in the video the aim is instant and to the head. It did discuss undetectability though, but looked as if it had something to defeat cheat detection apps.
All this to say I'm sure you're right... that would have to be an early consideration unless you, as the hack writer, want to alienate yourself from people who otherwise would pay you money for their iWin buttons. If you cause them to get their accounts banned, they're not likely to come back to you
What a mess though. But it seems as if 3arch could be doing some checksums to know whether or not their code has been modded or if something else is running at the same time that affects gameplay. Maybe I'm not thinking about it enough.

Anyone who uses .Net?
Conversely, you've probably given up a ton of personal information after several free beers.

It's not always the users' fault.
Wow, 13 is nice! I get 7-10 usually (7.02 down atm, 1 up, 68ms... pretty normal).
Are those pretty standard numbers for you?

Just guessing, but with the exchange being at fault in 1987, it seemed a logical place to look this time around.
I develop for both, and kind of have to agree with you on the confusion. Hopefully they're closer to resolving this in 3.0.
The comment so lame you had to try it twice?

That's the "try to get on the freeway and maybe not die" mode, as opposed to the "try to get on the freeway and almost assuredly die" mode.
My first car was a Mazda GLC with ~87HP. That was barely enough. At the time my father had an Isuzu diesel pickup with ~65HP which wasn't enough.
Yeah, that's how trains have been running here for decades. The engines were a little large for smaller practical purposes though :)

Wow, that's low for 3G. Even Verizon was getting 1mbps in Houston... AT&T typically gets me 7mpbs while Clear gets me closer to 10mbps.
Where are you?
I actually went with Clear for two reasons. The first was as you said (though I pay $40/mo)... it's a better deal than any of the cell services offer. Second, it gave me a bit of redundancy as I use the Tether app on my BB and Android through AT&T. If one goes down I have the other.

Ouch, now I need to check if the dongle has any similar. To be fair, I set up and use spotify from time to time, but always secure it.
I'm posting this using my Clear dongle... no issues though I did have a really poor connection for a day late last week.
Once I read about the monopolized alcohol stores I was out.

I think I've lost with you before.
