If the PS4 support is anything like the Xbox 360 support, then you're not missing much. I got tired of all the limitations of my Xbox when it came to playing media files, and so I bought a WD TV Live. It's blows away my Xbox. I can attach a USB hard drive to the WD box which then appears as an SMB mount on my Mac. I then rip a Blu-ray to an 20GB MKV file, and it plays perfectly. No transcoding needed.
Then he doesn't sign the contract, and instead goes to work for someone else.
But how would he know if it sucks until after he starts working at the company for a few months? He needs to sign the contract in order to get the job in the first place, so by the time he finds out the company sucks, it's too late.
A good attorney and expert witness will make it clear to the jury that there are several standard and well-known processes that need to be followed to test software, and that Toyota did not follow them.
A stellar employee would probably hate that. What if the company sucks? Now the employee has a great salary but is forced to work with people he doesn't like. What's the point of that? Without the contract, he could have just quit and gotten another job with another company.
Unions and job contracts are great for run-of-the-mill workers who have little hope of job mobility. The anti-poaching agreements were not created for those employees. They were created for employees who can easily get another job with a competitor.
That makes sense. Until you are caught, you typically have only your perspective on what you're doing. There's no one else out there telling you that you've made a mistake. A lot of people change their minds about their activities once they realize that other people don't approve.
This particular problem really irks me. My brother-in-law, who is otherwise a sensible and brilliant guy, let's his seven-year-old play these violent games. My child, also the same age, is not allowed to play them. I have a very hard time explaining to my child why his cousin can play these games, but he can't. I also can't seem to convince them to purchase any milder (and cheaper) games that my son does have so that they can play together.
I have been unable to convince the parents that there was never any need for their child to play these games. But since he's used to them, he now expects it, and suddenly deciding that these games are inappropriate would appear to him as punishment. In fact, he throws a major tantrum if he can't play these games. Despite all this, they still beleive that they're not doing anything wrong.
That is 99% of the airplane security we need, because no matter what, if someone wants to get explosives on a plane, they will.
Obviously, that is not true. There are thousands of people worldwide who want to get on an explosive on a plane, but have failed. Even the shoe bomber got nowhere.
The plural of anecdote is not data. You're making the assumption that these jobs exist for everyone. They do not, which is why we have a massive unemployment and underemployment problem today.
A healthy economy has lots of jobs for low-skilled workers.
Yes, these are playthings for the wealthy. I make over $100K, and I can't afford any of these cars. The only people I know who drive them *are* wealthy.
So where the network is unknown, it won't connect automatically. But you're saying it will still nevertheless broadcast my MAC to available APs??
Yes. It does this so that it doesn't have to wait for the APs to send their beacons. The AP sees the probe request, and sends out a beacon right away, instead of every tenth of a second. Supposedly, this saves time.
However, I wonder what the value of this feature is. If you have a dozen nearby phones, all sending probe requests every second, then the AP is sending out hundreds of beacons every second.
Thank you for understand exactly what I was trying to say. However, it's not necessary to disable wifi completely. Instead, the phone should just not send any probe requests, and it should not automatically connect to an insecure network that it has never seen before.
The 802.11 protocol does not require cell phones to broadcast their MAC addresses. Phones do it so that they can discover nearby networks faster, but it is completely optional.
There needs to be an update to iOS and Android that gives users the option to disable this feature (I can't remember the official name). Users should understand that it will take longer to find access points, but in exchange, they get vastly increased privacy.
The #1 reason why Wedel was unable to find a job was because he was unwilling to relocate (something about a child custody agreement). I'm sorry, but I don't really have sympathy for him. The tech industry collapsed in North Texas, and he should have moved. Apparently after his wife complained to Obama, he got lots of calls from companies around the country, but he turned them all down. I'm pretty sure he could have gotten full relocation benefits, as well.
He probably could have moved to Austin, which is only three hours away, and gotten a job. Heck, my company hires EEs like him.
My father-in-law had to travel the world to keep employed as an engineer. I chose to live in Austin because it is a good place for engineers like me to stay employed. If you want to work as an engineer in this country, you have to be prepared to move to where the jobs are. North Texas is not one of those places.
I heard that the plots and scripts are being dumbed-down so that they translate better into foreign markets, especially China. So instead of one culture enjoying a movie, none of them do.
Have you seen the prices for camps these days? When I was a child, my parents put me in the local summer camp -- all day, every day, all summer long. I did arts and crafts, hung out with my friends, swam at the beach, all that stuff.
A similar camp today would cost thousands of dollars per child. $300/week is the starting price. There's an overnight camp at our local renfest that costs $700/week.

No, we borrow an hour in the fall and pay it back in the spring, at 0% interest. So it's really free time!

Then what's the point of the contract if it has a cancellation period?
Dude, please just admit that this is a stupid idea.

IRQs will piggyback atop the main stack
Not necessarily. Some CPUs allow for multiple hardware stacks -- when the interrupt occurs, the CPU also does a stack switch.

People get paid more? I think you're confused. Anti-poaching agreements results in employees being paid less.
How does that benefit the employee? Why would I ever sign a contract like that?
I think the biggest problem is the enunciation. Few of those actors can do it right.

I meant to add "... play the same purchased game at the same time on two different consoles, even against each other, using two different accounts".
There are some loopholes with downloadable games on Xbox and Playstation that lets two people play the same purchased game.

ever get the feeling Google is just throwing crap at the wall to see what sticks?
You're only realizing this now??? This is has been Google's M.O. almost since day one!
You must be remembering it wrong. Kicktraq shows steady progress over the project, and a surge of backers about three days ago:
