Then the current engine ratings are waaay off, because trying to sustain their "rated" power will kill them in matter of minutes - they are rated in hp for their peak power, not for sustained level.
This kind of 1.1hp toys requires you to stop every few minutes, check the temperature and let it cool off if it's getting high. If you run it in rough terrain at max power, you will kill it in a minute or two. Or try running a 50hp rated car at 50hp load, and see how far you get before you blow the seal.
Except if you're not into taking a credit along with a service, you should be able to pay all the fees up front, no questions asked. I don't want your credit. I want the device.
AFAIK every credit in the world has an option of paying it whole now and here. In case of "open credits" (like a phone contracts) it may be associated with punitive charges for "breach of contract", but they have no right to refuse to nullify your credit, if you're willing to pay in full.
At school I would read 10-20 books a year. When I started work, I found I have a hard time finding time to read one or two books. I don't have time to go to the library, the bookstores are expensive, and I find hauling a book with me to work and back a hassle. For some 6 years I read maybe 4 books total.
Over the last 3 years I read maybe 100 books. All thanks to getting an ebook reader (Palm Vx actually), and books in electronic form. I can spend 15 minutes downloading and converting them, then have enough reading for another 3 months, and enough storage memory to keep several various books to pick something matching my current mood.
I can read in bed with the light off, when the roommate is asleep already. I can read in public communication. Sometimes I buy a beer at a pub and read. And so on.
Paper is overrated. It is limiting as a medium, expensive and unwieldy. Sure it has better contrast and doesn't require recharging, but if I was to carry the paper kind of library I carry with me now, my back would break.
Somehow Microsoft and Sony get around that though - it's not like Nintendo is unfairly disadvantaged comparing to others - they all have to deal with the same market conditions, but Nintendo deals with them extremely poorly.
I've been to an electronics store recently, and just out of curiosity, checked the prices. Back when Wii was announced at $200, I had hoped to buy one. Now I can say FUCK YOU NINTENDO.
That's about half of an average salary too. Bastards really need to pull heads out of their asses and cut the crap with "double the price for Europe" politics.
Depends on the people and organization. The younger one gets to more mundane tasks - writing debug code, writing easy, simple, mundane pieces - the UI, the testcases. The more experienced one concentrates on more tricky code, then gets the young one to check his code, explaining it line by line. They work together on the hardest pieces.
Because it's about promoting the British culture, not about helping out British industry.
The games are to be tools of education/propaganda (depending on your viewpoint), promote the british values/(brainwash) and the fact the game was made in GB by the British, means nothing if it doesn't do what the government would like to see it do.
Not sure about Germany or other parts of the world, but in Poland, many (most?) standard money exchange points buy and sell "gold junk", with about +/- 15% markup on the market price (the difference between their buy/sell price is around 30%, market price somewhere in the middle).
The interesting part is that this "gold junk" is usually in form of perfectly good jewelry - various gold chains, rings etc - and with a much higher actual jewelry value. So you can ask them to show what golden items they got, find something that is pretty, undamaged and you like it, and ask to have it weighted for you - you buy a quality jewelry item for price of junk. If you're lucky and knowledgeable, you may find a very valuable antique even, worth many times its weight in gold.
- Ability to run OS X - Laptop machine - Fast CPU - Needed for job
What kind of job is that? Apple Software Field Developer? I mean, I know of some jobs that require OS X, but a choice of a desktop for them would result in half the price and double the speed. I know of jobs that require a laptop computer. A PC machine would result again in half the price and double the speed. But a job requiring ultra-fast OS X laptop? It's not like OS X is a necessary choice for most field jobs. Somehow my imagination about such a job wanders around some snob fashion consulting or something else where you earn your salary with the way you look, not the way you do your work.
But the symptoms she had discovered under microscope were on the same tissue samples doctors had used before, finding nothing out of ordinary - RTFA, these were the same slides that were used earlier by doctors to (unsuccessfully) diagnose her. Which means nothing else than sloppy work looking at the slides on their side.
Yep, my standard answer was "I'm able to do this technically, but I have some other work currently, so please contact my boss to schedule your request."
...and move somewhere where you'll be unreachable for the time, say a yachting trip.
When everything crashes and burns without you, return happy, grinning, in Hawaii shirt, suntan and black glasses, then prioritize problems, hang the schedule of solving them in a public place, then mercifully tick off the worst assholes a week later when you're done with all the rest.
Don't be a full-time BOFH. Just enter a BOFH mode for a month. A cheerful, friendly and polite BOFH who says "Sorry, I have other work now, maybe in 5 days".
Until recently (Intrepid?) it didn't work - the window manager would definitely refuse to hide the title bar off screen. You could draw the window all you wanted down, left, right, but up - nope, the title bar must remain visible.
My workaround was adding extra workspace row below. Horrible experience.
Once you have access to the filesystem of the machine that runs the database, all the Need To Know restrictions are null and void, you just grab the database file. And that tends to be one firewall + one host away from The Wild.
Human finger is big enough already. It doesn't need big keys too.
A multitouch sensor can detect area the finger covers. If any active area is within it, it gets activated. If the covered area overlaps two different areas, the device must guess. So make the active areas quite small (even just active points) and put them further apart than width of the finger and the user will have to try really hard to activate two simultaneously.
One nasty problem with touchscreens is finger area. I'm working with a touchscreen currently - if you draw pixels under the registered points when you press the screen with a finger, you get a cloud somewhat resembling the finger shape. So if you press a button that is smaller than your finger, there is a significant likehood a press will be registered outside the area.
It takes some tricky programming and averaging to get a decent result, and if the device is slow, you are likely not to come up with anything reliable.
By reducing the size of active zones and increasing the dead zones around them you will still be able to register clicks - some of the points of the "cloud" will land inside the active zone. But you won't get false positives for neighbor keys because their active zones will be far enough from where the finger lands.
>>(yes, I'm aware of gene patents. The theory there is that they don't occur in their isolated state in nature)
therefore they should be only patentable in the isolated state - patenting a gene in order to use it as a part of a genome is simply wrong, because it did exist in such a genome before. It's like I patented silica that appears in naturally-occurring minerals.

OTOH, how much for a Pre on e-bay?
Somehow, I can't believe This can do this.

...well, how does that compare to XBox 360?
Somehow Microsoft and Sony get around that though - it's not like Nintendo is unfairly disadvantaged comparing to others - they all have to deal with the same market conditions, but Nintendo deals with them extremely poorly.
Nintendo does. In the eastern european countries.
I've been to an electronics store recently, and just out of curiosity, checked the prices. Back when Wii was announced at $200, I had hoped to buy one. Now I can say FUCK YOU NINTENDO.
PS3: 1450PLN = 445USD
XBOX360: 850PLN = 260USD
WII: 1250PLN = 384USD
That's about half of an average salary too. Bastards really need to pull heads out of their asses and cut the crap with "double the price for Europe" politics.
"and if they were directly awarded that, do you think they would be able to sleep at night?"
I'm pretty sure the ones of Linkin Park would manage to quietly cry themselves to sleep.
