Many are complaining that the Skype app's lack of receiving calls when inactive is a Windows Phone limitation. While this is true, the Tango Video Calling app uses WP's Push Notifications to work around this quite well in my experience. Skype could have easily done the same thing as a workaround until a real VoIP background agent API is introduced.
There is, however, no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State law which says otherwise.
It makes no difference whether it is a "debt" or a "sale"; there is no Federal requirement that cash be accepted unless a State law says one way or another. In this case, State law is saying not to accept it.
As someone living in Louisiana who rarely uses cash for anything more than a soft drink, I still think this law is yet another massive waste of legislation and I can't wait to see it stricken down.
You'll be glad to know there's at least one person out there (myself) who uses "Washington" and "DC".
What also gets old is, "You're from California?" when you inform someone that you live in southern LA.
While it may work well for things like tab switching, mouse down activation will never be the case for buttons. The current method of LMB up activation allows a sort of "cancel" behavior a user accidentally clicks the wrong button. You simply continue to hold the button, drag the mouse off of said button and then release.
Not only that, if you let VLC 0.9 on Windows associate itself with video file extensions, it will eradicate Windows's ability to generate video file thumbnails. I had to export registry keys from a fresh Windows install in a VM to repair the damage.
The file copying fiasco was an attempt at optimizing the copying performance by tweaking buffer sizes, memory usage, and caching behavior. In some cases it succeeded, in other cases it failed miserably. It was compounded by the fact that XP reported the file as finished copying even while there was still cache data to be written to the drive. There is an article on TechNet that describes it in detail.
I work for a company that does not accept unsolicited resumes even when actively hiring. They require instead that you fill out their provided application. It's not a matter of cheap labor at all, rather it is a matter of efficiency. Instead of having to decipher pages of self-marketing, they have a standard form to review for each candidate so that a decision can be made with less hassle.
It also depends on which Steam game in particular. I repurchased Quake 1-3 via Steam and if you replace the executables with a non-Steam edition then it doesn't require Steam at all to continue functioning.
No person shall modify the exhaust system of a motor vehicle in a manner which will amplify or increase the noise emitted by the motor of such vehicle, above that emitted by the muffler originally installed on the vehicle and the original muffler shall comply with all of the requirements of R.S. 32:352.
In plain english: Changing your exhaust system in any way that makes it louder, assuming it was legal before modification, is illegal in the state of Louisiana.
I'm sure many other states have similar laws, and I'm sure many states that have laws fail to enforce them just as here in Louisiana. I can't comment on federal laws as I have not read them personally.
Granted IANAL, but I don't see legality as an issue here. By signing the service agreement (whether you did so physically or digitally), you have agreed to abide by the terms that they have provided to you before signing. If you didn't read them before agreeing to them, it's your loss.
If we terminate your service for nonpayment or other default before the end of the Service Commitment, or if you terminate your service for any reason other than (a) in accordance with the cancellation policy; or (b) pursuant to a change of terms, conditions, or rates as set forth below, you agree to pay us with respect to each Equipment identifier or telephone number assigned to you, in addition to all other amounts owed, an Early Termination Fee of $175.
Quoted from AT&T Wireless's Service Agreement (emphasis mine). So yes, they can in fact charge you the fee if they are the ones canceling the contract.
Did you know that putting "See ID" or "See License" invalidates a Visa card unless you sign it as well? Unless, of course, your legal name happens to be "See License".
Check out the Rules for Visa Merchants, in particular page 34 (page 29 if printed). There is some amusing information in there, such as the fact that merchants are not allowed to require ID for a credit card purchase.
[...] merchants cannot make an ID a condition of acceptance. Therefore, merchants cannot refuse to complete a purchase transaction because a cardholder refuses to provide ID.
I have no idea if MasterCard, Discover, or Amex have similar rules.
I've used both the DGL-4300 and the DGL-4500 (the 802.11n router the parent mentioned). My personal experience with the 4500 is that with the GameFuel QoS set to automatic classification, I was able to uncap some torrents of mine and it barely affected the two WoW players. I still keep my torrents capped out of courtesy for the others in the house, but it's nice to know it works as advertised.
According to Brandon LeBlanc on the Vista Blog, "SP1 doesn't deliver any new drivers within the service pack itself." This stands true for both the 32 bit and the 64 bit versions.
For bonus amusement, look on the page for the inane threats from one "drqc terry".
When you insert a disc/plug in a device that includes an autorun app, Vista will ask you with a dialog if you would prefer to run the autorun, browse the device's files, or do nothing.
Granted, this won't protect from a true virus (as opposed to today's typical spyware/trojan apps) nor a user's own "clik da buttun" ignorance, but it's still much better than blindly running anything you throw at it.

Considering you both have accounts here, go take a look at your Homepage tab under Preferences a little more closely. That doesn't explain why the default hides the year, but it is definitely available for viewing.

Funny, I never realized that Schroeder had a cat...
Well I'm going to pride myself in being one of those who does NOT have the achievement!
Ugh. What a bunch of asses!

1802430 in base 10 is the number H3110 in base 18.
Or perhaps:
I count in base 18 you insensitive clod!

XP can certainly do 8 cores. We have a dual quad Xeon machine running XP Pro that's used in our video production department and it works great.
I have quite enough change, thank you. I'd prefer large bills.
You have a good point. I assume that would depend on what falls under "other default", but I'm not familiar enough with contract law to say for sure.

Small correction: It's $20/month for unlimited messages for anyone, not just iPhone users. Also worth noting: that price includes both MMS and SMS.

Yes, I think I will for a moment.
