Vi is a good text editor for a keyboard & monitor combo, but it's hardly ideal for a smartphone interface. Labview probably comes closest to the ideal type of programming environment for a smartphone...
tell application "iTunes"
set foolist to make new playlist with properties {name:"foo"}
duplicate (every track whose (time contains "0:" or time contains "1:" or time contains "2:" or time is "3:")) to foolist end tell
So.. get on it apple. make applescript and smart playlists available in iPods and iPhones already...
If you're using a calculator to solve augmented matrices, you're not actually solving augmented matrices. The augmentation is to help you with the process of solving the matrix, not as some end-result that you stick on an answer box.
There is also a fairly good chance that you could solve your systems of equations much more quickly with ordinary algebra: matrices might be a tool in your toolbox, but they're not the only tool in your toolbox, and the physics test is likely to be designed so that you can use any of the math-tools at your disposal, but at least one of them will allow you to arrive at the solution much more quickly than the others.
Further, part of the test is to see what you can complete in a limited time. You're not supposed to be able to brute force your way through everything with a mechanical wrecking ball. You're supposed to sneak your way through with cleverness.
I suppose the real problem is that if you take advantage of parallelism, a sort-dance could be over before anyone had a chance to see what was going on.
Not quicksort though. That would be a cool dance, as long as you pre-unsort the dancers to avoid the degenerate case: The "pivot" steps out, then the whole line comes forward and crosses to either side based on the comparison, then each side does the same trick, so you want at least the first iteration to be fairly even.
Were they apple users? The lock on safari is ridiculously small and unobtrusive. It's nice that it's unobtrusive, but it would be better if it was a *little* more visible. And also, it would be nice if you could set it up to give an alert when the certificate changes, even if it's a "legitimate" change..
I really do not like having to tell my mom, "Yeah it's pretty secure. Just look for the lock icon, and click it and review the certificate and make sure it points to the website you think you're accessing, the version is >3, and everything else looks ok..."
Because guess what. After that she's going to go back to just giving out all kinds of personal information over the telephone instead.
I don't know how it works in the EU, but over here in the US, the answer to your question is, "Not with republicans in control of congress. Or democrats...."
Yeah, there's never been any kind of line dance where the dancers split into two groups, do stuff, and than merge back into the larger group in some ordered fashion....
Yes, but nobody actually buys anything there: The sony stores all charge MSRP for sony devices. They're just there to show off their televisions, overpriced surround-sound systems and plastic Macbook knockoffs, so that other retailers can sell things under MSRP and look like they're giving you a deal....
Yes, but then they were worried that other businesses might get the same idea.
What they need to realize is that other businesses are getting the same idea, and many of them are leaving. They're just not big enough to get a special deal.
So here's a thought. If you make a deal to a company that convinces it to stay, why not make that deal the policy for every company. Instead of worrying about companies relocating to other areas to avoid your onerous tax burden, why not be the place they relocate to to avoid other areas' tax burdens...
I've been using linux at home on-and-off since 1999. Always the "easy" distributions: Mandrake, Red Hat, Ubuntu. I currently have an OS X laptop with ubuntu in a virtual machine for tinkering with.
The only thing I have ever found in info that wasn't a reprint of its manpage was coreutils. And the coreutils documentation is quite good, btw, although it seems that it only exists with gnu unix tool sets and not BSD ones....
Agreed on Vi, at least for the common languages. For less popular languages that don't have good IDEs, vim is still quite a good choice.
At about:36, he states that the cycle is the P{something}-humphrey cycle. I wasn't able to hear what that first word was, as he mumbles through it like Bruce Campbell in Army of Darkness, but the humphrey cycle in my brief skimming of google scholar, does in fact appear to be a pulse-detonation cycle.
Infinity blade is REALLY shallow (although it would make an ok fighting system for a real rpg...). But it does demonstrate one thing: the thing holding back good games on the iPod isn't the hardware or control scheme.
Lawyers aren't free, y'know. Their fees can pay for a lot of engineers...
The factory workers make the stuff. The engineers plan the stuff. But the lawyers are just there to do battle with other lawyers. The more there are, the more you need. It's a vicious cycle.
Woodrow Wilson was a Democrat, not a Republican. Although the Progressive movement he was a part of had flirted with both donkeys and elephants by that point...
The FCC's job is to execute communications regulations, not to craft and enact them, except by providing expert advice to congress, which is supposed to have the sole authority to create laws. The FCC and EPA are both under the auspices of the executive branch.
Some of the most useful features of the command line aren't even utilities. They're built-in commands, that for some reason don't get to have their own manpages, or info pages. (although.. I've never seen anything with good info documentation besides coreutils...) Instead residing in the massive man page for the shell itself...
For instance, if you were using bash, you'd see that you can almost always kick out the worthless good-for nothing cat:
for X in *.jpg; do ImageProcessor -scale 50p -filter (contrast,1.1) "$X"; done
I'm confused. Why would you say something like that if you want to discourage kicking puppies? Kittens aren't good for anything that cobras can't do better and with less feeding and poop cleaning.
Because smokers and fatties are the modern untouchables. We need to have some group that we discriminate against and revile, apparently, and we can't do this based on race and sexual orientation any more, so "bad habits" will have to do. Maybe their even better, since you could always argue that someone can't choose their skin color, so these new undesirables "have only themselves to blame!"
I've always found it amusing to rail about weight issues in a population: isn't it a good thing that the leading causes of death are related to having too much food? How many societies throughout history can say that?
Tank driver and heli pilot are going to be safe, though: Neither one of them is looking around using their naked eyes, they're looking through electronic image intensifiers with hardware contrast limits, and which recover much more quickly...

Vi.. on a smartphone??

It can also be done in four lines of applescript:

It does sound a little bit like the V1.
