People always look at me like I'm crazy when I explain that between state taxes and federal refunds I break almost exactly even. They think that it's the worst thing in the world that I don't get a refund. Fact is, I consider breaking even to be about the best scenario I could be in. Only better thing would be if I got back $1 fron each (I'd give them $2 to not have to mail in a check).
The.NET framework runs in a virtual machine on all paltforms, including. From what I understand, executables created are just have code to start the virtual machine.
The ONLY game that I'm still enjoying at the 70-hour mark is FFXII. This is not common. This is partially because I like the mark hunts and partially because it's the first offline Final Fantasy since like 2001 (excluding FFX-2).
I would say that 45 hours is plenty long to tell most stories. Also, we don't need endless sidequests. I either feel guilty for not completing them or bored because they take forever to play. I love the Wild ARMS series, but there's too damned much to do. By the end of the game, I'm angry at every single random battle/puzzle because I'm battled, puzzled, and sidequested out!
Humans love novelty. Spending 70 hours on on RPG is frustrating because there are all of these other games that we'd like to play IN ADDITION to the game that we're already playing. Shorter RPGs, please.
I carry this movie with me in case I come to a conversation about DRM. I can loan the movie to people and hopefully educate. It hasn't happened yet, but I'm tryin'! If I had a DVD Writer, I would copy it in accordance with the license and distribute it. (Of course, encouraging people to support these great film makers and buy a copy too!)
I believe Ctrl+L brings up the box to start typing as well. In Nautulis, it does this as well to jump to a location. I like that the keybinding is the same as my web browser. Non-intuitive? Absolutely!
I've been paid under 80 hours regular with overtime on the same check, so, yes, I am sure. There is no process to 'average' hours to compute ovetime hours. If people are getting jerked around it's by individuals, and I feel terribly sorry for them. These people need to call the ethics hotline and get something done about it, but as you said they have to want to do that.
(Meaning 40 hours a week, but they won't pay you overtime if you work 60 one week and 20 the next).
I've not been too impressed with some of Wal-Mart's recent actions, but that, my friend, is a flat-out lie. I have seen a manager fired for doing just that with only a few minutes of time.
1. The gas pump that once you pick up the pump the prices disappear asking you to "Select Product."
2. The ATM that the button that you used to press "Withdrawl" on the next screen would withdraw $200. Shouldn't that go to the smallest amount or a "Go Back" button?
As I understand it, water, which the human body has a lot of, actually reduces the effectiveness of RFID. Wouldn't a closed patient essentially have a water shield around the RFID chip? Maybe not with an active tag and maybe these barriers have been overcome. Does anyone have an insight?
I realize that this was in the UK--this time--and that there may be legal precedent allowing this sort of thing to go on, but this tape from EFF is pretty cool.
I have a client that has setup SSH for us to do web development with. The other guy that works with this client FTPs his files over to run them against the PHP runtime with the CMS that they are using. I have vim installed on my Windows box and use it for local development work. For me to run my scripts against the PHP runtime and the CMS for this client, I ssh in and work in vim. My work is done entirely native to me, because I already know vim. There are some serious advantages to this. And when the network is slowed down? Not nearly as bad as, say, a VNC connection. I'm not saying that other solutions don't work, but command line text editors are really handy. Vi has always been there for me, which I can't say of visual studio...
I would suggest finding a dedicated Producer so that you, the Consumer, can have enough stuff. Beware that you will need to provide a solution to the classic Producer-Consumer Problem. As to that, I would suggest either a semaphore, monitor, or some kind of message passing with your new-found Producer.
Best of luck to the both of you!

Personally, I'm a spatial Nautilus user, but Thunar is another file manager that works with Gnome and has tree views. You might check that out.

I thought I was the only one that noticed this. Since you're already modded correctly, I'll simply say this: Thank You!
Your comment makes me think of this law as one step closer to defining Orwellian "thoughtcrimes."
It's annoying to see people texting during a movie.
It's also annoying to have someone pick up the phone and say, "I'm in a movie. Can I call you back?" Isn't that what voicemail is for?

ALternative Freedom is a must watch for anyone around here.

Kupo!
I have two more:
1. The gas pump that once you pick up the pump the prices disappear asking you to "Select Product."
2. The ATM that the button that you used to press "Withdrawl" on the next screen would withdraw $200. Shouldn't that go to the smallest amount or a "Go Back" button?
It most certainly says "M" on the box then.
Didn't you hear? Microsoft Office has evolved.
I loved Earthbound.
PS - I know where gamer number three lives, too. Gotta catch 'em...wait a minute.

I highly doubt that passports are going to use active tags, which, yes, cost about $25. They will probably use passive tags which are $0.25 or so.
Maybe call it 'K-9.'
Next thing we'll be hearing about all those potato farmers in De Moins, IO!
