About that license, for the sake of (my) curiosity - it is paid on tv-set basis (one por TV), or por watching eyes basis (one por house's living people)?
Smart phones are not Microsoft's business. It would be like Lockheed-Martin trying to manufacture desktop computers. They don't know anything about it and would probably not fit culturally. Microsoft has a hard time engaging new ventures effectively because of their culture. They need a new captain AND a new culture.
Yeah, PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They're not going to just walk in.
That can work... there's quite a few roundabouts in the UK that have pedestrian crossings on each road leading off it. You space them about two or three car lengths from the roundabout so that there's a little bit of room for cars to queue when the lights are red, and you make the lights always stay green unless a pedestrian pushes the button (i.e. the lights aren't controlling the traffic otherwise). Usually such crossings take a bit longer to change to allow pedestrians past, too, to avoid too much congestion.
I had an inspector come round once, and I declared (honestly) that I had a TV but it wasn't connected. I invited him in to have a look, but he said it was fine and he'd take my word for it, and they put a note against our address.
Actually, that's still plagiarism if you didn't cite it. You're not allowed to submit the same stuff for more than one assignment, without citing your previous assignment as a source. At least, that's how it works in my department.
It's not the entire system, it's on a per-app basis. It means the app whose window is under the cursor hasn't responded to events in a few seconds. You can still switch apps and continue working elsewhere.
What about the BBC's own completely open codec, Dirac?
It's completely open, and any arguments against it based on low market share could also be levelled at Theora. Dirac has the advantage of offering significantly better quality compression than Theora...
One of the mechanical men and women in Capek's play; hence, a machine (sometimes resembling a human being in appearance) designed to function in place of a living agent, esp. one which carries out a variety of tasks automatically or with a minimum of external impulse.
The Oxford English Dictionary does say "especially" the autonomous meaning, but the above definition certainly applies here. These robots are definitely functioning in place of a living agent.
Overpriced to begin with? Rubbish. They cost loads less than on any competing platform. It's almost laughable how consumers will argue about how a $2 app is only worth $1 or even should be free.
The British plug is pretty indestructible. If you get in to a fight with one, it'll win. There's not much that misuse could do to it!
I do recall seeing a slightly broken one once. It was an old bakelite one and the plastic had chipped slightly on the top half of the casing. Still didn't expose any wires and still went into a socket no problem.
Actually, are plugs on American appliances user replaceable?
The 68k/PPC binaries were referred to as Fat Binaries. As a marketing term, Universal was only ever applied to PPC/x86.
When you say that MacOS doesn't use universal binaries any more, that's not strictly true. It doesn't ship with many that use both PPC and x86, because as you say OS 10.6 won't run on PPC Macs. But it still fully supports them and many software vendors are still producing them. These days, the same tech is used to store a 32 bit and a 64 bit version of the same x86 executable.
We have LAN parties at university regularly, and have a net connection. However, last one we had, the LAN got IP-banned from battlenet. As far as we know, it's just because too many people were connecting from one IP.
Hopefully they can solve that kind of problem before removing LAN play!

It's per household.
Coventry->London on a train with only one stop takes 1:03.
Birmingham->Coventry stopping only at Birmingham International takes 21 minutes.
Total time BHM->EUS is1:24.

It's in Xcode 4.2, which is still in beta.
Don't just leave us to our fate!

I was heading back from Mull last month and I saw a Tesco van join the queue for the ferry...
If you hit the sleep button on a ringing iPhone, it silences the ring.
Their dumbphone line isn't based on Symbian. Series 40 is still going strong, and I don't think Nokia are killing that any time soon.

I think she's saying she lost her job because of her anxiety disorder. Which could mean she was fired or she quit.
Oh, but they're everywhere!
Vote parent up, 'tis true.
Sadly it requires specific hardware (an authentication chip) inside the device, but I'd wager that's how this example was made.

Is it in the dictionary?

You can distribute to 100 devices without the app store, but you still require a developer licence ($99/year).
By definition?

They dropped the pay-for-fullscreen thing a few years back.
