Cross-country trip? What about it? The supercharger network reaches coast to coast, and by the end of the year there will be a few more cross-country routes possible.
Yes you can get from LA to Miami if you don't mind going through South Dakota. Also I don't spend 30 minutes filling up my car at the gas station and with the Tesla I can only go an additional 170 miles after a 30 minute charge. So if you seriously believe that you can actually go coast-to-coast in a Tesla S then be prepare to go many more extra miles and spend some extra downtime getting there.
Tesla S is still a good car for commuting within a metropolitan area. If I didn't have to commute across my state, I would buy one myself.
I never enabled the wd2go option. I just use it as a local NAS appliance and use OpenVPN when I really need remote access to my backup images which is very rare.
If I need a remote cloud I use DropBox with their DMCA auto block feature.;) All kidding aside, I never had a problem with DropBox. They are worth every penny I didn't spend.
Herein lies the problem: what standards are you referring to? ACID? Mysql 5.5 in strict mode *is* ACID compliant.
If that is really true then it's about time. It took them long enough. I knew something good was bound to come from Oracle.
I think you're remembering history differently than it was. MySQL was always significantly faster than Postgres, which was a slow database until relatively recently.
Nope. I remember history just fine. I remember having trouble with replication. I remember having to manually check for overflows. I remember having to wait for InnoDB to become available in order to have transaction support. I've been using MySQL for many many years and I know its limitations. I still use MySQL while keeping its limitations in mind. I also know enough to realize there are better alternatives.
There's a reason companies like Google chose MySQL for their adsense platform.
Yes it's called not really needing a heavy SQL engine for something as simple as tracking click traffic.
MySQL is simple, fast and does a sufficient job for those who use it.
I think his point is to say that MySQL is a full fledge SQL database is like saying IE 6 is a standards compliant web browser. Both do the job adequately for most people, but both aren't without serious faults.
MySQL owes its success to web frameworks where better SQL servers like Postgres are considered an overkill and it works quite well in that domain. If your requirements are more on the SQL-side than the web-side of the equation, you would do much better with Postgres.
Negotiation shouldn't involve you hanging around the dealership for a minimum of 2 hours while the sales staff perform a dog and pony show to make you believe that you are getting a great discount off of a very inflated sticker price (value added services (undercoating) or accessories (a different color pin stripe)). After which you spend another 2 hours before you actually purchase the damn car and leave.
They make it too time consuming and require travel to find a competitor selling the same brand which discourages a majority of their customer base. The last thing they want is for me to be able to purchase a car online and have it delivered to me.
They also have three phases to their bullshit practices.
Phase 1: We negotiate the price that I'm willing to pay for the car after stressing that I only care about the actual cost not some monthly payment goal.
Phase 2: After negotiating the price, you have to argue about how you are not paying anything extra in dealer fees and other bullshit. You start the next wave of negotiating. I usually either have the price of phase 1 lowered so that the amount paid is the agreed upon price or I leave. They either comply immediately or call me within 24 hours asking me to return.
Phase 3: They try one last time to get more money from you and try to sell you a warranty or other options. You have to listen to their sales job for at least 30 minutes when you already said no.
Phase 4: Despite already having financing arranged prior to shopping, you have to spend at least an hour in their finance department. Usually they bring up the warranty again.
If you had a trade in, you have to be vigilant because you just gave them another number to manipulate in their favor.
In the end, I think we would be better off if we could purchase a car like we purchase a computer, television or toaster. You shouldn't waste a half a day to purchase a car.
The governors will talk about how good Tesla is but their day job is still governor and that office is under the thumb of the National Automotive Dealers Association who could easily contribute to their rivals.
The state laws that prevent direct sales of automobiles should be criminal because it preserves the insane concept of "negotiating" the best price. Hopefully Tesla will go farther than cars.com did.
A layperson would think that the state laws would go against the US Constitutions commerce clause.
"Requirements" and "Features" are very different things.
I don't know if you really had a point to make with this sentence. As a customer he considered it a feature that all games were free-to-play. As a developer, if you wanted to make a game for Ouya you had a requirement to make it free-to-play.
Lumpy's point is that by removing that requirement from developers they are removing a feature that drew customers to the platform in the first place.
Whether that was an intelligent move is a different matter.
Dubya did not have the unswerving patriotic fervor of all Americans standing behind him ready to do his every bidding; instead he got a lot of flack for it and lots of protests.
The Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 act passed the house with 69% approval (297 yes - 133 nay - 3 abstained) and the senate with 77% approval ( 77 yes - 23 nay ). The yes votes included 40% of the Democrats in the house and 58% of the Democrats in the Senate. A very small minority of constituents were against the war. It was only after the war that the majority of Americans considered the Iraq War a mistake (Gallop 2007).
The record doesn't show that "Dubya" acted alone or without support.
Without being directly fired upon, if Ukrainina soldiers shoot at the Russians the Russians can rightfully claim Ukraine as the agressor and invade.
1) The Russians never let facts get in the way of propaganda.
2) Russians can not rightfully claim anything if they are already inside Ukraine, threatening a base, and being fired upon within Ukraine. That is utter bullshit.
This is just a situation of Ukraine not being in a position to defend their own sovereignty and the last thing they want is to make the crisis worse.
I may be misunderstanding sjbe (his first post seemed trollish) but I think his point was that people choose to hunt for food and that hunting is not the sole source of food for anyone within the US. He is correct that there is a huge market in recreational hunting and fishing. However having an industry made up of almost entirely of recreational hunters and fishermen doesn't mean that there aren't people who chose to subsist solely on meat that they hunted or fished. I also agree that people chose to survive on what they hunt or fish and there isn't any real requirement to do so to survive within the US.
So what?
There isn't anything wrong with choosing to gather, hunt and grow your own food. I think it actually helps the environment. If more people had to get their own food, they would be more vocal about industry dumping waste in their streams or land being overdeveloped and adversely affecting wildlife populations.
Also I do not know a single recreational hunter that do not eat what they kill. Some members of my family hunt every deer season and we all enjoy venison. As members of their hunting club they work hard keeping their hunting grounds maintained and make sure the deer population remains healthy. During the season the club enforces strict hunting limits because the last thing serious recreational hunters want is poor game populations. FYI most recreational hunters in my state use hunting clubs which are self regulated while the game warden concentrate their efforts on the public hunting grounds.
Back on the topic of drone-assisted hunting, my state already bans hunting using planes or even radios. Why when enforcing limits should be enough? Because hunters outnumber the wardens and the hunting grounds are massive. While game wardens do perform checks on hunting clubs and been known to walk up to you at the entrance of public hunting grounds and inspect your kill, there are still a huge potential for abuse. Everyone I know that hunt support the restrictions on plain/radio coordinated hunts because often they are used in poaching and they don't consider that part of the hunt anyway.
Personally I don't hunt but I do fish and yes I eat what I catch and release what I don't.
Technically this is true. However the Python that you know and love is actually younger than the three languages you mentioned. Let me explain:
Python 2.0 was released on October 2000. This is where it gain features that actually made it useful outside of the Ameoba OS. Prior to this release, the other languages were already making themselves useful on more mainstream OS like:
Ruby 1.0 which was released on December 1996 (It implemented most of the features that weren't available until Python 2).
PHP already had three major releases by July 1998.
Java 1.0 was released in 1995.
Incidentally, Python and Perl was influenced by Perl which was released in 1987.
Perl clones the entire interpreter for every thread.
Which isn't a bad thing. Perl, Python, and Ruby do not run natively within a CPU. Both Python and Ruby settled on a GIL so that the interpreter could have multiple threads of execution. Perl decided that it would be faster to just give each thread its own interpreter and they were right. You can also do cool things like detach long lived threads and whatever.
You can still fork in Python, Perl, and Ruby and give each process its own independent address space and use IPC to share data. However with Perl threads you can share variable data (with caveats) with multiple threads with threads::shared.
Yes because CNet is known for it infallible tech reporting, and something reported in 2008 must still be relevant today. Also the existence of products that compete against Apple branded products on the App Store shouldn't make the article less true.
You might notice that Linux kernel releases don't get much play in the mainstream media either.
Except unlike global geopolitics where a cold war could easily erupt, the Linux kernel isn't mainstream.
Sometimes called "analysis."
I've read some of the analysis on Fox News and MSNBC and they aren't known to be 100% accurate. Errors of omissions and over emphasis on smaller elements out of context rule the day there. The media and the internet is full of "pundits" pushing ideologues which is why people should consider the source. Frequently "analysis" is nothing more than over glorified opinion.
Minimalizing or ignoring Russia's actions got us to where we are now.
I don't think anyone is minimizing Russia's actions. I also think nothing good come from over sensationalization. The west is playing very conservatively and trying not to abandon a negotiated path to resolution. The more things are talked up in the west the more "face saving" tactics will be required of the east. I think the worst thing to do is to goad someone who is itching for a fight.
The right thing is being done. Currently the worst case for the west is that Russia takes over Crimea and makes overtures towards Ukraine, and the worst case for Russia is that they leave Crimea to Ukraine but can claim that because of their actions the Russian immigrants are better protected from Ukrainian nationalists due to negotiation for withdraw.
I suspect this has more to do with the way new hardware devices are certified by Microsoft than some conspiracy at Apple. I am glad you said something I would have never checked the FAQ until I had a new Mac Pro and was trying to install Windows 7 on the one user's machine who insists on buying an Apple product and running Windows on it.
Luckily everyone else in this office uses OS X on Apple hardware because we are mostly a Linux/OS X unix shop. I think all companies have at least one troublesome user.
Never mind I found your issue in the FAQ (stupid HTML 5 bullshit). I wonder which device is the one lacking support and if there is an alternate source of the driver.

Well except for the powder or thin shavings resulting from the scrape/impact to the barrier.
Noticed how negotiating was in quotes?

Actually it was a short story called "Let there be light!" published in May 1940. Friday was published in 1982.
Except that is 31% and 23% of the legislators who only voted once and the issue was over. That does not reflect the public sentiment at that time.
I didn't like it then and I don't like it now. I do remember being a member of a very small minority that voice their opposition publicly.
Actually Jon Stewart did a whole segment on that back in January.

If you can afford to use a drone to aid in hunting then you can probably go to Walmart and pick up some groceries.
I heard it too. Of course there is a big difference between making those claims and having people finding those claims credible.
1) The Russians never let facts get in the way of propaganda.
2) Russians can not rightfully claim anything if they are already inside Ukraine, threatening a base, and being fired upon within Ukraine. That is utter bullshit.

Dr. Pielke Jr. actually holds a PhD in Politcal Science as well as an MA in Public Policy. He is a political scientist within the field of climatlogy.
His father Dr. Pielke Sr. holds a PhD in meteorology and contends that CO2 plays little role in climate change.
