We ripped jQuery out of our current project because there is _nothing_ in there that we couldn't do smaller, faster, and cleaner with native Javascript, er, ECMAScript, ECMA-262 5th Ed.
Years ago jQuery solved the cross-browser implementation problem when IE6 was popular. These days anyone using jQuery is an idiot Javascript developer.

Visualization.
Professional Athletes do the same thing. They visualize them making the perfect shot.
This is nothing new -- it has been around since at least the ~1900's. Napoleon Hill coined the phrase "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve."
He first published his formula for success (developed with Andrew Carnegie) in his book "The Law of Success" in 1928. He more famous for his book Think and Grow Rich.
Success is ALWAYS built upon: Belief, Faith, Actions
Visualization is just an extension of "Seeing is Believing"
In 2012, TSA global strategies chief John Halinski was asked directly whether there had been a single arrest or detention on terrorism charges creditable to the implementation of whole-body scanners. He answered that there was not.

FTFY.
/sarcasm Because eating Italian food makes one Italian, and practicing stretching makes one Hindu, and... oh WAIT, no one has a monopoly on stretching.

^ THIS.
That is the more troubling question that needs to be asked and answered. Why weren't there more fail safes such as... ?
* Why didn't the car slow down if you have your hands off the wheel for more then 5+ minutes? * Why didn't the car's sensor detect the impending crash? * Why didn't the car pull over the side of the road after 15 minutes of hands free driving?
> Give it 6 months and you'll see a huge crash and then it will normalize at about 1/3 of its current value. After that look for gradual but steady increase in price.
There are far fewer programs running in the background. According to Microsoft, a laptop running Windows 10 S loads a user profile (including apps and preferences) 15 seconds faster than an identical laptop running Windows 10 Pro.

/cynical sarcasm A decade? Try 30 years! I still run DOS3.3 and ProDOS on my Apple 2's you insensitive clod. Yes, I'm half joking. :-)
The only reason to upgrade an OS is for:
* bug-fixes such as security
* driver support
Many people running Windows 7 aren't usually buying new hardware that needs a new driver, and they are using external security solutions.

BZZT.
IF you get something back in return is _completely_ IRRELEVANT.
Are you really that FUCKING STUPID ????
The fact that someone took your property (which money is) in the first place WITHOUT your permission is what makes Taxation theft. PERIOD.
With that said, Excise Taxes, aka, Usage Fees are fair.
Being forced to pay for something you don't use is outright theft.
The problem with Robbing Peter to Pay Paul is that eventually you run out of Peters to rob.

How do they compare to the ~ $150 WASD mechanical keyboards?

Because $10 keyboards are crap.
- They don't have the right feel for the weight of the keys
- It feels cheap
- Is the spacing in between keys correct?
- Is it going to last? Stop filling up our landfills with cheap garbage.
- Did I mention it feels CHEAP?
- Do they have the raised ridges on the F and J keys?
You can pry my Logitech Illuminated Thin Keyboard K740 from my cold, dead hands but I can understand someone wanting a _quality_ keyboard.

This is why tech companies suck -- they keep re-inventing the wheel with their own proprietary crap.

Have you been watching How To Move To Canada (If Trump Becomes President) @4:39 !
Simple solution would have been to crowdsourced replacement photos. That way Zillow would have never had a pseudo claim in the first place.
We can only hope / pray / etc. for that one!

That's not entirely true. The Apple's 381th Patent for inertial scrolling was a game changer. Adding physics to UI was absolutely brilliant.
Inertial scrolling was invented by Bas Ording. He has worked at Apple since 1998 as an User Interface Designer.
Reference:
* The Apple patent Steve Jobs fought hard to protect
* Who invented inertial scrolling on iOS
> Private companies upgrade regularly, realizing it improves security/productivity.
BWAUAHA. That's funny.
Who's going to pay for it?
Small business don't "fix" what isn't broken.
Holy sheep, /. editors doing their job? Has Hell frozen over? Is Linux on more devices then Windows?
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that in the meantime there is a simple solution:
Crowdsource RETAKING the pictures and donate the new pictures and copyright to the blogger.
That way Zillow's original photos are no longer being used.

Exactly. We even have a graph of the bubble.
