??? ever tried copying/moving a lot of files into another directory and getting an error message halfway through that one of the files has the same name? KDE gives you a far more useful dialog which offers you the chance to rename the file or skip that individual file. It even shows you a preview and properties of each file so you can see if it really is the same file. Windows just gives you an overwrite option... and if you cancel it stops the entire bulk copy/move. Or access is denied to one of the files being copied, Windows just drops out after the error box is accepted and leaves you having to ferret around working out which files were and which weren't copied/moved. Windows Explorer sucks..
get a facebook campaign going... get it on boingboing... far more visible... get their local news channel in on the case... after all... who reads the newspapers these days...;)
make the county officials look so stupid applying a code that is crying out to be repealed...
one can only surmise that they've upset a neighbour who's then gone through the code book with a fine toothed comb to find a way to get back at them.
many a time I've had a hit of the oxygen the morning after while doing the pre-flight servicing on Phantoms... just plug the PEC in and take a good hit while doing the check of the audio and oxygen systems... anyone questions you, just state you thought you smelt something odd in the breathing air mix and was taking a long sniff to check...
ps, I was doing this over thirty years ago... and it was well known as a hangover cure back then...
Over the last decade things have pretty much played out exactly like the paper laid things out: an economic assault,
and what's really depressing is our own corporations are falling over backwards (outsourcing production, relocating, sourcing goods from China) to help them all in the name of short term profit to make the next quarter's numbers look good. There is no level playing field. The Chinese are deliberately polluting their country and ruining their workers health in order to make their labour and processes so cheap that we can't compete.
A) Most Linux users are capable of compiling their own apps, its rather common since most Linux distros come with a compiler, and you've almost certainly compiled things in the past for that app that doesn't work right on your distro or in your setup or whatever it happens to be due to the millions of possible combinations of distros and base software distrubtions, you can assume nothing about the environment you'll be running in when you distributed compiled binaries 'for Linux'. Packages for a specific distro are another matter, much easier to deal with for a particular version.
got news for you the vast majority of Linux users do not know how to do this anymore... most distros do not need you to get down and dirty in the command line to install software... the package will be there in the repositories, not necessarily the absolute latest, but a recent stable one.
it's merely an algorithm... reducible to pure maths.
I wish people would stop trying to defeat software patents on the basis of prior art and instead work on defeating them as un-patentable in the first place.
It used to be that hosting olympic events was a money-maker for the cities involved. However recently data shows that towns that host Olympics are actually losing out. I don't agree with "special privileges" for anyone, but it's understandable to see how they can happen where there is a source of income for the state.
yes, the cities that host end up in hock for years afterwards, but, and this is a big but, the politicians in charge and their close buddies make out like gangbusters on all the contracts for work...
According to some of the other posts on here, it seems like Apple has already covered this in the warranty agreement by specifying that the phone shouldn't be used in humid air where water can condensate.
So I don't have to waste my time going and hunting down nvidia drivers when I install a new machine....that alone is a good enough reason.
another is not getting hit by your card no longer supported when you've just done an upgrade so having to switch to the legacy drivers the hard way yet again... been hit by nvidea blob problems too often when upgrading.
you'll have a hard time doing that... the only jurisdiction that the EULA recognises is Washington State and Microsoft have got all the firms in that state on retainer so they'll refuse to take your case citing conflict of interest. You'll need a lawyer who is licensed to practice in that state to even bring your case...
surely if they refuse to accept the verdict, the Judge should dismiss their case with prejudice and award costs to the defence... things are getting silly now
there's already a European Computer Driving License... thankfully not mandatory... however, the syllabus is written entirely around Microsoft software... and so are the exams... I strongly suspect that any Computer Driving License Microsoft proposes for you will have tests that can only be passed with Microsoft software as well...

round trip time is what matters... seeing the results of your action before being able to correct it...

They do that anyway...
this is why we don't want them knowing were we are... unless we want them to know were we are by say making an emergency call...
most likely because they're also paid minimum wage and are living paycheck to paycheck and are looking for every saving they can find...

well that rules out the British market then...
"paid off" and "paid out" are landlubbers usages relating to money
such a pity you can't patent this now you've bragged about it... or have you already patented it?
one of my pet peeves is seeing "payed" instead of "paid" and "loose" instead of "lose.
Just because the spellchucker doesn't pick it up doesn't mean it's correct...

3D web content? playback of movies? the GPU is to offload the video decoding
I so want one... but no doubt it will be done with a ridiculous straight dollars to pounds when, if ever, we see it in the UK...
think I'll print this thread out first as there's some good recovery info... :)

please mod parent up... it rightly deserves it and I ain't got mod points...
