To be clear, when you write
Personally, I think that they are done best when striped in sets of three... you mean 2 colors grouped three rows at a time. Right?
I did contract work for United Airlines a few years back and I was "randomly" selected for extra screening on every flight. I guess they didn't want to bother the paying customers just to me some silly quota.
It could be argued that by going to a LA school he is more likely will run into people who know things that he's not even aware he doesn't know. Right, but we're talking about things that are important.
I'll second that.
The Non-Designer's Design Book (ISBN-10: 1566091594) is the book I read that makes _design_ a little less art and a little more science. Okay he doesn't really use science so much as he makes the "good" design choices seem less voodoo like and more like binary.
Forget about simply being worth $400.00, it's hard to find a cell phone that is sold for more than $400.00! None of the phones they're comparing the iPhone too cost more than $400 with a service plan (which is the only way they'll sale the iPhone). That should change that stat to read something more like 18 people to stupid or rich to care about getting ripped off.
No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title. Call me crazy, but if you can circumvent it, then it doesn't seem like it effectively controls access. So you can crack anything that you can crack, duh.
It's supposed to be green (and white). And what's with that skinny little line? The bar is supposed to be half inch allowing for 3 lines of (132 char) text per bar .
The true purpose of patents is in fact, to spur innovation... not to build monopolies.
While true that the purpose is innovation, they very single and solitary way that patents foster such innovation is through [time] limited monopolies on that specific innovation. And I have no problem with that as long as what you've been awarded patent is worthy (truly novel and new).
I think a more equitable judgement ought to be along the lines... like, Echostar to pay TiVo the requisite license money...
This can still happen. And it's very likely to happen as well, but under the free market principal of "Tivo owns the rights and can set their price, others including Echostar can pay that price if they think it's worth it. If Echostar doesn't agree to that price, so be it... unless Tivo decides that it would rather lower the price to keep from losing easy money...". This, I believe, is the way the system was designed to work. (I just don't know that Tivo should have the patent in the first place).
What if a patent violation happened in a medicinal drug? Patients must vomit already ingested medicines and die?
No, and you don't have to unwatch any shows that you watched delayed either. You just can't continue to do so (no more refills on you Rx).
INAD but...
Many a virus can easily be transported from one person to another by way of your pen, particularly if they are prone to bite or suck on it. I don't believe that brand matters, but perhaps this is what "pen testing" seeks to discover. As I stated I'm not a doctor, but from personal experience I can say that pens made of metal rather than plastic tend to deter biting, perhaps this makes them less likely to be exposed to and transport the little nasties.
But if you say IFrames, suddenly it's not AJAX anymore. I mean when you click on things with iframes you hear it... yuk. Oh and the back button doesn't work with Iframes.
Damned if you do damned if you don't. I think the best thing to tell people to ground them in AJAX is that it's just like button rollovers that were all the rage some years ago (and to some extent still are).
onmouseover="loadDifferentImage()"
AJAX is the same thing except that instead of a binary image, you can send text instead. If _may_ even be XML, and there is a possibility that i could be sent asynchronously if you wanted. The only part that seems pretty consistent with AJAX is that it uses javascript.
Hell I've even accomplished the same effect when I was given the requirement for the basic AJAX behavior, but not allowed to use (i)frames or ActiveX. I just queued up images and passed the text in the cookie.
All of what makes AJAX cool is Javascript and DHTML. The AJAX part is really only a couple of lines of code, and the name is a complete misnomer.
they'll be able to see your dynamic content if you link to it, and that link returns content.
<a href="sameCoolContent.html" onclick="useAjaxToGetAndShow( this );return false;">Cool Link
<script>
function useAjaxToGetAndShow( oLink )
{
var sContentUrl = oLink.href // call Ajax
}
</script>
More importantly, how in the/. do you insert codeblocks?! I don't care who depricated <xmp> it's still the best way. What does everyone else use to show formatted code on/. surely not < and <br/>
The old ReplayTV's (4500's and 5000's) had Commercial Advance. No silly skip or fast forward button to push, just no commercials. (they were recorder, just skipped automatically for you). To bad Replay removed that feature in later models ( the 5500 was an upgrade that basically just removed Commercial Advance, and network sharing). ReplayTV was just a little ahead of its time and got sued into oblivion for it.
_dozens_ as in with an s, so that's at least two dozen right? so 2 to the power of 24 times whatever they were making before, say $1.00 per year == $16,777,216.00 guess it's time for me to move outside the US and get invovled in capitalism.
It was only a matter of time before not only the jobs were outsourced, but the recruiters were outsourced as well. In my most recent search, I've received a huge percentage of calls from people that sound just like the "offsoure team" that I conference call during status meetings.
What is the thought process here? If you can't be good at what you do, maybe you can identify someone else that is....

There are just too many holes for that to have been peer reviewed before being posted.

Q: How will we know if this new invention is safe for human consumption?
A: We'll test it on animals first!

It could have it just would have cost more.

Why isn't ReplayTV doing the same thing to Tivo?

Of course not... they'll put the "Cluj" in the box and ship it!
