all the little checks that had not cleared yet have insufficient balance.
Not possible, as long as you have sufficient money in the account to cover the checks you write.
Oh, you don't? Then that's the problem, not the order they process the checks.
That depends on if they process all checks and debits before all deposits.
If they do all deposits first, then there should be no bounces/overdrafts. If checks and debits get processed first, then it is possible for the account to show as overdrawn, even if a few seconds later when the deposits are processed, there would have been enough to cover the checks. However, it seems that for each check that shows insufficient funds at the moment of processing would generate a bounce fee. And those could add up to where the deposits, when processed, would no longer be adequate to bring the account back into the positive.
Really, the ethical way to process would be deposits first, then checks and debits. Then if the balance shows negative, penalize the account holder for their carelessness. Otherwise, the account should be considered in good standing.
Or a "compromise" would be to process transactions in the order in which they happened. Then if a debit or check causes a negative balance, keep a tally of the fees incurred, but don't subtract it from the actual balance until all transactions are processed. And if the final balance is still positive, then call it a day. If negative, then take whatever actions are needed to get the account holder to bring it back up.
Is that number only counting Windows 8 installs that are actually in use, or is it also counting systems that had 8 preinstalled (due to no other choices), and then wiped and replaced with something better? (like Linux, BSD, or Windows 7)
Must be the heat playing tricks on my brain. I thought the headline said Atlassian Cloud. And that was going to be the excuse to post about a backdoor discovered in a real cloud.
According to the Gospel of Judas, Jesus told Judas to betray Him, and gave him knowledge of Heaven in compensation. Of course the old-school church needed someone to blame, and they hated all that "gnostic" stuff too because it interferes with their control...
And if any of Christian mythology was actually real, I imagine the looks on believers' faces would be absolutely priceless when they get to heaven, and meet Judas, who is kicking back and having a cold one with Jesus.
"Welcome to Heaven, dude. This is Jesus, and I am that guy who helped make all this possible, whom you have probably heard of as Judas Iscariot. Care for a brewski and a toke? This is the most heavenly shit ever devised."
So much for Americans that actually have read their constitution and the corresponding amendments. Otherwise you would know that being able to say whatever you want without repercussions is not one of your rights, nor is it protected.
Actually, we do have the right to freely speak without repercussions from government entities. That is in fact protected by the First Amendment.
What we are not protected from is repercussions from other people who may get butthurt over something someone may say. However, they are also not protected from repercussions for their actions either. And if their actions involve assault, tresspassing, vandalism, or anything else that is subject to criminal prosecution or civil liability...
Freedom of speech does not absolve one from responsibility for the consequences of the speech in question.
Depends on what consequences you're talking about.
People around you thinking you're an asshole and never talking to you again? No, it doesn't protect you from that. Getting arrested and jailed? Yes, in fact, it does protect you from that; that's the entire meaning of the term.
This needs to be brought up on any forums or social media sites where these discussions come up, every single time. The people need to be made constantly aware that the First Amendment protects them from gonvernmentally applied consequences for what they say. It would be frightful to see a day come when so many believe the GP's claim, that it does become the defacto truth.
Idiot, someone reported him. If the government isn't spying on you, someone who doesn't like what you say or do is going to be just as bad.
Loyal, overly concerned, easily frightened citizens (even if they are citizens of a neighboring country) are just as much a tool in the arsenal of government surveillance equipment as is the most technologically advanced gadgets.
So if someone tells a woman 'Fuck You' he should be charged with rape? Context matters and it's exquisitely clear from the quoted context he was being sarcastic.
It would not surprise me nowadays if telling some deserving woman "Fuck you" or "Just because you have a cunt does not mean you should be one" would bring about sexual harassment or sexual assault (through some extreme twisting of logic) charges.
We've already institutionalized "no joke" zones at airports. Unfortunately, it is only a matter of time before there are more such restrictions.
I'm wondering if the airports banned any German folk that may bear the name Goethe Baum (considering the first name, pronounced GU(R)-tuh, is close enough to Gotta, so as to trigger kneejerk reactions in TSA goons).
We have to do something to close the cuteness gap with Asia. We must find a way to be more competitive in adorability or else our economy will get, well, ugly.
Children must be taught to pucker and smile more, or face consequences such as no TV or games. Perhaps those who are adorably gifted should be put in special classes to hone their skills.
America grew complacent after it invented the Teddy Bear and the Campbells Soup Twins and zoomed ahead of Europe in cuteness when the best they could do was mimes and nutcracker soldiers with big teeth.
However, Asia has grabbed the mantel and is kicking our non-cute little butts. Big butts actually.
This sounds like a task to be undertaken jointly by the Cutie Mark Crusaders (MLP: FiM), Gosalyn Mallard (Darkwing Duck), Kit Cloudkicker (Tale Spin), and Huey, Louie, Dewey, and Webby (Duck Tales).
That should be enough concentrated cuteness to close the gap with Japan.
I'm partial to my iRiver Clix. Bought the 2GB version and the car cig lighter adapter for it shortly after I got back from Afghanistan back in 2006. 7 years later, it is still serving my music needs just fine when I'm out and about.
And a check on Google Shopping seems to indicate that it is still holding a fairly decent value for its age.
I just did a DuckDuckGo search for "Peach Trees". Search results showed nothing that looked like it may have been a paid for result. Sure, there were eBay and other for sale type sites that came up, but I'm fairly certain those were simply from the normal crawling the search engine did, and not from any kickbacks that the sites in question may have paid out to be listed at the top.
Make an online backup. Buy a cheap hard drive. Remove yours. Install windows on new hard drive mail old one to your new address. ??? Problem solved.
If you are truly that concerned, then set up your laptop with 2 partitions on its hard drive. First partition has your Windows build. Second is simply ext3, not bootable, no Linux install. Use an ext3 utility on Windows to mount the ext3 partition in Explorer and put all your media on that partition.
Make certain the ext3 utility does not auto load on boot. The ext3 partition is invisible to inspectors, and they have no reason to think there is anything hidden, and it is highly unlikely any inspector will ask you to fire up Windows' Administrative tools to look at the disk manager and make sure there are no undeclared partitions on the drive.
If I ever travel internationally, and the blokes at the border want to make sure my mp3 player works and is not a bomb, I would be very tempted to power it up and play for them, either "Never Gonna Give You Up" or "Blame Canada"
It was several years ago, and I don't know the current state of their bullshit legal theories... theycertainlymadeclaims that ripping is in fact illegal.
If they could outlaw it, they would. Because in their mind, anything other than how they envision things should be illegal.
The MAFIAA may be entitled to their own opinions, but they are not entitled to their own facts. And the fact of this matter is plain and simply, "Fuck you, MAFIAA."
Sony Discmen are a fairly steady seller for me, and not just the ones that play mp3 CDs. Now I just need to find out which ones were made in 1993 or earlier, so they can go up in my Etsy store.
It could be that the cleaning up of the mess industrialization caused could be the signal that our brains have ripened enough to be quite the delictable delights for the discerning alien palate. As for nuclear weapons, chances are they would be seen as the equivelant of bows and arrows to any civilazation far enough advanced.

Since your post is already at 5, here is a virtual mod point to make it effectively 6.
Yeah they are. Shame they didn't make them look like Kerbals though. That would have made them at least 20% cooler.

That is obvious. I'll take your money.
It could be that the cleaning up of the mess industrialization caused could be the signal that our brains have ripened enough to be quite the delictable delights for the discerning alien palate. As for nuclear weapons, chances are they would be seen as the equivelant of bows and arrows to any civilazation far enough advanced.
Odds are, their palates are rather undiscerning, and we would be more or less like chicken nuggets to them.
Well, you can't live in the past any more, or the present. This is the future.
