Houses with Stucco have this issue as well. Builders use a steel mesh to adhere the Stucco to the house which acts like a Faraday Cage.
You mean a house with "fake" stucco walls and stick construction. If your house is block construction, like a large number of houses here in sunny Florida, you won't have this problem, because the steel mesh is unnecessary in this case.
I have grown repairing computers, fixing computer problems. I have absolutelly no fucking idea how to use a car, but I can write assembler sleeping (too bad dreams are stored on volatile ram).
Well, that big round thing on the drivers side is the steering wheel. Turn that left to go left, and right to go right. The long skinny pedal on the right is the accelerator. Press it down with your foot to go faster. The wide fat pedal on the left is the brake. You press it down to stop.
The big thing that sticks out of the steering column (or it may be on the floor) is the shifter. Put it in R to back up or D to go forward.
Window is fucking expensive stand alone. Many multiples what the OEMs pay.
Or you could always pirate the thing, depriving Microsoft of their hard-earned revenue. Sure, it's illegal but it's not as if they're going to come and arrest you..
Alright grandpa let me tell you how it is: The world is moving to a fully digital and online universe. How about the original bit-for-bit studio copy.
Now let me tell you how it is, sonny. Wake me up when it really is all digital. Right now, it's not. Artists play analog instruments into analog recording elements, that are then still most often captured onto a 32-track or 24-track analog recorder, and which are mixed using an analog mixing board then, finally, they are digitally mastered from there.
Go to a recording studio and learn. Now get off my lawn.
You're mixing up morals and ethics. Morals tend to be personal. ethics is the culture to culture to culture one.
No. The root of the word 'ethics' is the Greek word 'ethos', which means morals; the root of the word 'morals' is the Latin word 'mores', which also means 'customs.' The words have very similar meanings. Indeed, the OED defines 'ethics' to mean 'the study of morals.'
In modern parlance, we tend to use 'morals' to apply to a set of rules defined in a religious context, while we use 'ethics' to mean more or less the same thing, but without the religious connotations.
Yes, but electric cars are more energy efficient. For example, the Chevy Volt gets 93 MPGe in all-electric mode. That's quite a bit more efficient than a similar-sized gasoline car and tons more than the SUV the average American is driving now.
I disagree. A decent amount of whitespace is essential for readability.
Furthermore, all these complaints about Slashdot being unusable on high dpi screens are silly. I'm using a high-dpi screen and I can read it just fine. I'm guessing some of the older users have presbyopia and require reading glasses, even if they're too stubborn to admit it.
And yet the comment textarea itself starts out at an idiotically tiny size. Ten rows? Okay, I can deal with that. But 50 columns? What the fuck, guys?
You can always change the default size in your Comment Preferences. Personally I think a the default of 50 columns is also too narrow, but 10 rows feels just right. Then again, half the time I'm typing my comment in my preferred text editor anyway by using the "Edit with Emacs" extension. (Though I don't use Emacs itself anymore...it's too slow)
Thunderbird's spam filtering isn't horrible; it's based on the same ideas as SpamAssassin, but can be easily hand-tuned. In addition, on a Linux desktop, you could always setup SpamAssassin with procmail, but this implies that your end-users actually understand things like procmail.;)
Personally, I use dovecot+postfix+spamassassin on my home e-mail server and fetchmail to grab mail from remote servers such as my gmail account and then use Thunderbird's junk mail filters to filter out anything SpamAssassin misses.
Agreed and I can speak from personal experience. Due to a severe case of uveitis I had as a child, I developed a cateract on my left eye. Thus, my left eye had an uncorrected vision of 20/2000 while the uncorrected vision of my right eye was like 20/200 or something like that. Decades of wearing glasses with a very thick lens for the left eye and a thinner lense for the right eye has left me with some severe depth perception problems. After receiving an artificial lens implant near my 18th brithday, and now with my corrected vision in the left eye being like 20/40, it's only made matters worse.:/
Needless to say, watching 3D movies is also somewhat problematic for me.
For some reason they think that Jobs is a carve-out from reality. To admit that normal people can run a good product company somehow bruises their ego. Maybe because they're not doing it.
Steve Jobs is a very smart man. He's a good strategist and he admittedly has very good product ideas. However, one thing to keep in mind is that nothing Steve Jobs has come up with is unique or revolutionary; he simply knows how to take good ideas coming from others and translate them into a salable product. This ability is hardly unique.

Africa? Clearly the Bible places humanity's origins in the Garden of Eden, located somewhere in Mesopotamia, on the continent of Asia.
Obviously Africa was not involved in language.

Beyond that, I suggest taking a driving class.
HTH.
Ever heard of a toggle switch?

But is it the same? If I place an international call, my end of the call takes place entirely within U.S. borders.

We gave that to the Wall Street bankers...
Oh? Really? Think so, huh? Come meet me in my office.

That's not even *Canadian* bacon!
The action probably violates Google's TOS, so it might be actionable. (IANAL, TINLA, etc.)

In addition, a lot of switches and other network equipment still don't have SSH. Even switches only a couple of years old.
Every day is a holiday somewhere in the world.
Today is also:
Duarte Day: Dominican Republic
Foundation Day: (Santos) Brazil
Republic Day: India
Earth Calendar for today.
Plus too much white space.

And in Chrome. Which means it probably works pretty well in Safari, too.

That's not new. It was in v2. I guess it didn't work in a few oddball browsers though, like IE6. It is faster, at least in Chrome on Linux.

Not necessarily. I think Amazon is marketing this technology mostly for bacn usage.

I'm certain I'm not the only one.
In Soviet Russia, close YOU!
