I'm on my 10th-ish PayPal account. I NEVER accept money through it. I send a GoogleCheckout invoice. Even for eBay.
But on Car forums, certain websites, etc, it seems all they accept is PayPal. So I'll use it with a temporary credit card until they figure out I'm the same person as my other locked accounts and lock another one.
It all started when I sold something on eBay. Turns out it was with a stolen credit card. So they reversed the payment leaving me with a -$600 balance. Which they said was my fault somehow. Then the second account I sold a laptop and has $400 sitting in it 'locked up' until I pay them the $600 in the first account.
I'm not a violent man, but I could honestly go vigilante on some middle managers at PayPal with a crow bar.
I actually just have a personal identification number. I think a personal identification number number would be a bit harder. Is it like a matrix of vectors?
Like PIN[0]=1234, PIN[1]=5678. So my PIN number for school would be 1, but my PIN number for my luggage would be 0.
Now from the summary I don't even know what a personal identification number code is. Unless you have a secret code to unlock a little brief case that contains your PIN.
Most foods have a consistent density and scales used to be expensive so most recipes I've ever seen and certainly everything that I've inherited from my grandma has it in volume.
It just occurred to me they're probably not going to just replace the text books. Probably looking at replacing the Math teachers too.
Why pay someone with experience or an education when you can get a babysitter for minimum wage and force all the kids to watch Khan Academy on their iPads?
http://www.khanacademy.org/ really does kick ass. I'm using some of his 5-10 minute videos to supplement my graduate level Linear Algebra stuff. Most of it's straight to the point and if I need clarification on a subject I don't have to turn to the book.
Now how this saves money. I won't know. Then again text books aren't cheap. What ever happened to the OpenSource textbook that I thought CA was assembling to be 'free'?
XBMC has had VDPAU hardware acceleration for almost a year now. The beta that was just released supports VDPAU, ATI's thingy, Broadcom, Apple's Hardware decoder.
Anything Apple on Windows sucks. Everything that is part of OS X has to be reinvented. WebKit is a huge portion of how the iTunes music store works. As is Quicktime. On OS X I can toss either into the trash and the rest will still work because WebKit and Quicktime APIs are part of the OS.
Well it's an old technique actually. kexec have been there for ages.
How does this compare to kexec actually? I've been using it for a long time on all my Debian machines and while it's not 'instant' skipping all the BIOS, it's damn fast.
Are you union? See there's the difference. All these hard working unions gave us 5 day work weeks and 40 hour work weeks and safety regulations (70+ years ago) so that obviously gives All union employees free rides for life!
No, but you could get a single mom of 2-3 kids to run books. Do phone support. You still need people doing office work.
And John Henry was replaced by a machine just because we say he was replaced by a machine. Even if we did nothing I'd rather pay someone to dig a hole one day and fill it in the next than let them sit around doing nothing on unemployment & welfare. I bet you'd see a dramatic drop in crime because people were too tired to go gangbanging after a day of hard labor.
If drugs were legalized, it'd take away a huge cash incentive to go make or sell drugs. I don't remember hearing stories from my grandpa how his family was 'entertained' while he was away. It wasn't an easy situation for anyone, but it got America through.
If everything was 'machines machines machines' then why do we hear about people being laid off when production goes down? Shouldn't there just be stories about how Cat had to flip some breakers?
No, but you train them and they're a trucker or a pilot or a machine operator. I bet a majority of CCC workers weren't brick layers, or cement pourers, but somehow they managed to build the stuff that we've used for the last 70 years.
Have you ever seen the middle of an interstate? In 90% of the country there is a reason they're called 'divided highways'. Plenty of room to add a rail service Once you get to the city, you take it elevated or under ground, or just have main hubs outside of cities with commuter trains or subways actually going into the city.
And "on and off the train without dodging traffic", seriously? That's the best argument you have? You'd build overhead stairs. Just like trains in every other damn country have, or an elevated platform that the train goes up on.
The CCC did some wonderful things. And quite a bit of those things are up for repair or replacement. If we're in the 'worst recession since the great depression' then we need to treat it as such. Cancel 'handouts'. If you want welfare, you can work for it. Everyone gets a job and stuff gets built.
Bridges, Dams, Power lines, roads. Quite a bit of stuff was built during the great depression putting people to work. After the MN bridge collapse inspectors are coming out of the wood work going "Yeah, these could fail at any time now too."
Take all those 2.9M employees that are out of work and have them start building shiat. If they want to sit on their Union ass and do nothing, they get nothing. Turn off unemployment. There'll be no shortage of jobs. Pay them what they're actually worth as manual labor. Caterpillar & Deere, the big 2 domestic construction manufacturers would need to increase their workforce (Which is partially union). Truckers would get more work shipping construction supplies and equipment. Mobile home makers would need to up production for temporary housing. Concrete, asphalt, and steel industries would need to up employment to help keep up with demand.
Along every road and every bridge run fiber, it costs nothing compared to what a new road does, so run a fat pipe to every town in America. The next Wozniak or Linus could be sitting at a place that currently just has 14.4 dial up. Maybe the smartest of the high school students could take part in remote learning at MIT or some where where they'll not be kept behind with the rest of their class.
In addition, toss a rail line down the center of the interstates. Get a light rail connecting most large cities. Maybe even a 'ferry' service. Need to go to CA? Load your car up on a rail. Go sit in the comfortable seats and in a day. You're in CA.
Just like all those roads and bridges helped spark the auto boom a decade or so later, in 10-20 years we could really see the economy back on its feet doing something else productive.
Bonjour (ZeroConf) does do this automatically. Since I just use the bonjour name (server.local, mac.local, plug.local, etc). However the problem arises with Linux when it insists on trying IPv6 first.
I went out and spread the word about Ubuntu to my girlfriend. The install went ok. But the second she started it up the first complaint was that browsing the web was slow. So I go diggind and find out it's IPv6's fault. Apple's figured out how to make the internet not suck and use both, why the hell can't Linux? Even a cron job once a day, if it can get to google via ipv6 enable it. If not, disable it.
Until this is resolved I'm definitely not suggesting Ubuntu for any one else, just because I don't want to have to help them solve it or risk them trying to type in some "cryptic" commands on their own. (Not to mention, one suggested method didn't work).
It's not always. Just the nth time with the same person. Photographic memory and all. I couldn't run long distance track because I'd get bored the 2nd lap. "I already saw this".

Just use temporary credit card numbers.
Citi Cards has one, so does Discover.
1 time use numbers. Discovers expire the same month as your normal card.
Citi Card's expire the next calendar month and you can even set a limit. I couldn't imagine using anything else.
With Google, if they say they've verified the information. I'm safe.

This is the biggest breakthrough I made in college when I started cooking foods on my own.
Same with ovens. 1 hour @ 200F is NOT 30 minutes at 400 F.
That and slow cookers. It's such a low heat over a long amount of time +-4 hours and your food isn't that much different.
I wish I hadn't commented, but MOD PARENT UP.
Cook's Illustrated is not cheap, but is amazing. Parent is dead on with everything.

One that shops at American stores. I'm an engineer. I do almost everything in metric, at work everything is in metric.
But butter is still sold in 1/2 cup sticks. Milk is still sold in gallons, cans of stuff are usually in floz.
Same with building stuff for my house: 2x4s are 6 or 8' long.
It's just easier to leave it in the units that it comes in.
Until the bacterium reroute the main power conduits through the deflector beam to create an inverse tachyon pulse. Then what?
Woa FUD.

The reason is the way it's packaged on the iPhone is the GPS/GSM chip is integrated.

You haven't set foot in a public American place in a while, have you?
Yes, people are that dumb.
Here's some photos of my hand with black bocks over everything. But they're prototypes. I swear. Please don't buy something from Apple.
