    The HTC One has a LED notification light.

    The non-removable battery is a bit of a head scratcher alright.

    You, even by power user standard, are an edge case. I'm technology inclined / power user and the 64GB model is good enough for me without need for SD card.

  6. How about simply "stream" and "client"? on Naming Bi-Directional Streams In an API? · · Score: 1

    The server just happens to be a well know location for a service that can be connected to. The client initiates the connection. Once the connection is establised the "server" and the "client" effectively become "clients" of each other, when the output of one is plugged into the input of the other.

    For example, in .net land (it's where I am, forgive me) you have a TcpListener on the server side. Then when a client connects using a TcpClient, the server creates a corresponding TcpClient on the server side. Writing to the client's TcpClient.Stream will allow you to read from the servers TcpClient.Stream, and vice versa.

    Your API should probably be considering the establishment of the connection, rather than the connection itself.

    Because it removes the human aspect from the equation. Humans always fuck processes up, from losing the tapes, to that one time they forget to take the backup home, to having it robbed from their home.

    Opinion was that we weren't going to accept loosing a commissioner and requiring specific statement on neutrality (which I don't personally believe actually makes any difference). Also, people like to make the government look like idiots, a bloody nose, if you will. If the have a referendum again, it may not pass because people are pissed off with the economy. I don't agree with that line of thinking.

    The population of the republic is nearer 4.5 mil. Most other "corporate" employers are smaller, high knowledge type jobs. The jobs that are lost are put-screw-in-hole assembly line work. Nobody thinks we can keep those kind of jobs. The problem is that the numbers are dramatic. Honestly I'd be much more upset if 50 scientists lost their jobs. In any case, Ireland had a 17 year run with that. I'd be surprised if Poland get half that with their plant. Manufacturing in 1st world is dying. Look at the US car industry....
