I've found i like VWs DSG automatic. I'd even like the paddle shifters if they would just mount them on the column and not on the wheel. It gets hard to grab second when the up paddle is on a different side. Or perhaps they could make them pull in and push out instead of one for up and one for down.
Drive a VW DSG sometime if you like the feel of a manual. I drove my bosses GTI and despite haven drive automatics for the last few years found myself reaching for a clutch and shiftier. On lift off of the throttle the car slows down just like you'd expect in a manual. I had to try very hard to not press the "clutch" as the brake was one of those "automatic double wide" brakes and when you press a brake peddle like you would a clutch it gets fun in a hurry.
I know your are an AC, but I am tasking you on behalf of the entire linux community to write and maintain the documentation for your grandma for every single UEFI bios/computer/variant out there on how to create and add a key.
Right, that is a huge task because every vendor is going to do it differently.
why don't we build a gen 4 reactor and actually decommission it when it's useful life is at an end, instead of running it for 10 more years, and ignoring all of the warning signs that it will be in trouble?
ohh and then complain that when a larger event than the facility was designed causes "minor" issues. Should we design all nuke plants to survive a direct hit from 2012DA14 without releasing any more radiation than you receive while flying across the USA in a commercial airliner? How about the moon? what about an off the scales hurricane, while there is a category 10 earthquake, and the "terrorists" try to blow it up? What if the sun explodes or aliens show up?
This is why they have things called phones. I work with Representatives all day. They are all over the country. I have on several occasions after two or 3 e-mails back and forth, just picked up the phone and called them. Honestly, given the small size of my office, and the frequency that someone is traveling, I could work from home, but I know I would be much less effective that way. I know that I need the physical location context switch to help trigger "work mode". If I was working from home i would have to have separate locations for work, and home life. I'm ignoring the fact that I have kids below school age that also distract me.
Ansys is not designed really for your HPC football field sized super computer, but for high end workstations, or a small in house farm. Going OpenCL must have been seen as a good idea. AMD still makes FireGL cards, and using OpenCL lets Ansys work everywhere.
Hmm, I've not actully used a AMD/ATI videocard in 10 years, and the last one I had was an oddball PCI one in an oddball laptop (fujitsu P2110 if anyone cares). I did finally get it to work, but it took most of a year and around 4 distros. That said, I'm on my 4th or 6th nvidia card, and installing the nvidia drivers, and running "xorg --configure" was the most I have had to do (well back in the bad old days i had to swap the driver line in xorg.conf. These days everything seems to just work, and there are no issues when playing games in wine. (not that I really need to anymore, thank you valve).
counting the iPad, apple has what? 6 hardware models that they keep supported at any one time? How many has samsung had in that time? HTC? Heck even nokia has had more than that. Now I am counting the 4 and 4S as different, when they weren't really.
Also Apple has had the ability to stand up to the carriers in the US. There are a few versions of the Samsung Galaxy S3 in the wild. I think it is at least 3.
I have several websites that I like whitelisted in adblock. In general though, I disliked the video ads from a few years back enough to blanket block just about everything.
If the webmasters would prefer we could recode adblock to download them, but never show them. Would that make them happier? At least their logs would seem to show that they were loaded but not clicked on.
even when the mouse is next to the keyboard. Imagine entering values into a spreadsheet without being able to use tab or enter. How annoying is to have to lift your hand up move it 6" to the mouse, and then move the mouse a 1/2 inch and then return your hand to the keyboard and find your place on it again. It gets old around the 5th time you do that.
Anyways, just agreeing with you for the most part.
Are any of them convertible, as in the screens can be rotated and folded down to make them tablets? I'd like a touchscreen laptop like that, as long as the hinge/folding part came with a 5 year warranty.
Wake me up when using excel is nice with no keyboard and I can get Tony Starks cad setup he uses when he gets back from being held captive in Iron Man 1 (and his rapid prototyping facility) and I'll buy one of these touchscreen laptop things.
Lifting my hands off the keyboard breaks the flow. The exception is AutoCAD/Inventor, where one hand is on a mouse full time, and the other on the keyboard.
I haven't used a mousepad since I went to optical mice some 10+ years ago. My whole desk is my mouse pad, and generally that is enough space.
All trackpads on every laptop i've had have been disabled. The Dell at work, the thinkpads, the Acer's at home, everyone first thing to do is disable the trackpad. This took me 30-45 minutes to figure out how to do on my work Dell, as it was missing the Alps software.
But if the ITU is going to make it a standard, it really should require patent grants for any patents that would cover that standard, and require all entities that are participating to sign agreements that they are agreeing that any patents they currently hold or will hold in the future will not be used against those implementing this standard.
Even with a few number of points couldn't you use relative strength and which points could see you to get down to a few feet? Mapping every aisle with a know device to calibrate the system would probably be required.
I agree, if the ISP purposefully limits during times where not doing so would not harm network "stability" then the ISP is in the wrong. If it is limiting people at peak hours to ensure everyone can get some access then fine. I guess my point was if they oversell enough, those hours of congestion could easily become 90% of the day.
I would rather see the system set up in reverse. A customer buys a minimum speed, and can sometimes get more than that, but the network is sized such that everyone using their connection at the same time will mean everyone gets the minimum speed they paid for. That would mean smaller numbers on the paper, and likely less money for the ISP, but I can dream. Granted I have yet to notice a time where my 20mbps DSL didn't provide 20mbps of through put.
So what if I tell you you can have your pick from up to 6 widgets, but not at 5PM at night as i'm trying to get everyone else a widget as well so you what ever one was on top. If you came for your widget at 11PM, then you could have have your pick of any of the 6 widgets. Now say that instead of from 5PM to 6PM it's busy, I've hired enough people to make the times that there are not enough widgets for anyone to really get a choice from 4AM to 11PM? just come in to pick at a crappy time, and you can pick.
now stream netflix to 3 devices and watch that 5mbps become 15mbps, before any other web traffic, or downloads. I'm at the point where anything under 20mbps, doesn't have enough bandwidth for typical evenings anymore. two tablets and a TV mean 15mbps is background data. Thats ignoring updates to the tables and the phones, and computers. All I can see is my bandwidth needs going up. I can't wait until my kids have some sort of video based lecture, or what not in 1080P, or start skypeing with friends, or grandma, or whatnot. Then I'll need a baseline of 40+mbps, if not more, just for background data.

near a super volcano, I think not!
I assume that there would be a whitelist "allows allow tabs at these sites to play sounds" sort of a thing.

nothing i have written has had any care what amount of time has gone by, so yes, it should all "just work".

I don't see an "ACC" but i do see "OFF"....
Coasting to a stop would take less time then driving to Belgium and would be safer.
or a "press and hold for 5 seconds to turn it off" sort of setup. I know that after trying neutral, I would have tried that.
Man all of these stories, make me want to stick with 19xx manual trans cars with cable throttles.
