My 30-day average electricity usage last year was 541kWh and that's for 2 people. This year so far it's 803, but that's for 3 people. My highest month ever was 1716kWh for 3 people, which was due to the AC running pretty much all the time the whole month. So I also have a hard time believing those numbers as an average.
Actually, he is saying it's 93-95% pirated.
this is a quote from TFA where it is quoted from Yves Guillemot
On PC it's only around five to seven per cent of the players who pay for F2P, but normally on PC it's only about five to seven per cent who pay anyway, the rest is pirated. It's around a 93-95 per cent piracy rate, so it ends up at about the same percentage.
I wish there was a mod crazy option. You really think that any and every pharmacy that a person might get their prescription filled at -- most of which are commercial entities without ties to a hospital -- are going to individually put serial numbers on pills that link them to the person getting the prescription filled? I'll give you a hint, I've worked at a pharmacy and they definitely do not do this. Let alone track fingerprints. There is a bottle filled with pain killers on the shelf. When a prescription comes in, the pharmacist or pharmacy tech grabs that bottle, and counts out the number of pills prescribed into a new bottle, which is given to the customer.
Now the pills might contain a serial number that ties them back to a specific batch, which would tie them to a pharmacy and they could pull up a log of customers who had prescriptions filled from that batch and narrow it down reasonably well (even to 1 person if that person was the only one who got a prescription filled from that batch) but there is no guarantee that it can be narrowed down to 1 specific person as there is no individual tracking information on the pills.
Yes, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was as easy to open as the similar models discussed in the article, making it useless as a way of keeping the gun safely out of your kids' grasp.
No... that's what table sugar is anywhere. When you see just "sugar" on an ingredients list, they're talking about sucrose, which breaks down into 50% fructose and 50% glucose.
The website has a link back to Google right at the bottom that says "made with some friends from Google" so I'm assuming that Google did, in fact, have a hand in crafting that site.
No, I think the summary/article is referring to exactly that name/email entry form. The page you linked says that "Official registration will open later this summer. Your information will be kept private and only used to contact you once registration is available. "
I suspect the value of the certificate relies directly on how well-known and respected the instructors are in the field. Personally, I'm considering on going back to school for a Master's in Computer Science, and since I've been out of school for awhile and my undergrad degree is not in CS, I figure it couldn't hurt to have this certificate from Stanford AI instructors to show a more recent academic performance to complement my work experience.
I suspect maybe Stanford's term starts the 26th and runs through December 16th? Because the course website also lists the last day of the course as December 8th, not the 16th, though it doesn't mention when the final is, but for the online portion the final is due December 18th. So yeah, seems like they can't agree with themselves on dates.
Actually no, the article is right. The online portion starts on October 2nd. If you look at the course website, under Course Description it makes this clear.
Losing the phone isn't always in the person's control. You might set it down for a moment and someone just grabs it. I once had my phone sitting on a shelf in my apartment, and a friend of a friend of a friend swiped it while helping my friend move furniture. Luckily it wasn't a smart phone, so no real information breach, so canceling service was all I had to do.
Keeping the phone tethered to you at all times is unrealistic. For example, I work with MRI scanners. I'm not allowed to bring my phone into the scanner room at all because of the magnetic field. How would you suggest I keep my phone on hand at all times then?
And with regards to canceling service immediately, that does nothing at all to prevent access to data. The poster is asking how to secure the data that is on his phone locally. Things like saved passwords that could be retrieved from the phone whether it has an active service provider or not.
I only prefer Amazon if I already know exactly what book I'm purchasing and if it's cheaper. Many times I want to just browse what is available at a bookstore, and I prefer Borders over Barnes and Noble. Also, signing up for Borders Rewards (free) with an email address meant that over the past several years there has almost never been a week when I didn't get a coupon for 30-50% off any book, which generally made it cheaper than Amazon, and I didn't have to wait for shipping.
While I believe Amazon does use an automated price setting system, no copies of this particular book are being sold by Amazon directly, it's all third party sellers.
yes, but the phrase "spooky action at a distance" is not in the article, as TexVex seems to be suggesting, indicating that he's throwing out the criticism without actually having read the article.
I wasn't suggesting that any one person would need every show. However, since not every show is available, it means there are shows that some people will want to watch which are not available legally online.
Well... considering that you can't get every show (or even network) free online, with rabbit ears, or on Netflix, I'm not sure why you think this is weird.
Actually it requires cell phone companies to offer roaming contracts to other cell phone companies. It does not require a cell phone company to offer roaming to customers. Given that Sprint itself already offers roaming on contract plans, I'm not sure that this law will do much to push them into offering roaming on their prepaid/pay-as-you-go plans. And Sprint is cdma (or iden for their walkie-talkie phones on the nextel network).

If a business I worked for or was interviewing at asked me for my passwords to anything not work related, I wouldn't be working there anymore.

Yay, a slight revision of the Nook Color... meh. Won't someone just release a color E-ink tablet already.
No... that's what table sugar is anywhere. When you see just "sugar" on an ingredients list, they're talking about sucrose, which breaks down into 50% fructose and 50% glucose.
You realize that most HFCS is made up of 40% or more glucose right?
Yes, but they're trying to seem human, so they shouldn't be logical.
You mean nowhere because since they got discounted they're out of stock everywhere and HP won't even say whether more will ever become available.

No. The online course just offers a certificate from the instructors of the course. It will not count as college credit anywhere.

Gee, you think MSRP is overpriced, and then start talking about pirating books instead. Color me surprised.
Yeah, even into the late 90's among everyone I knew in high school and college it was ICQ. AIM didn't really replace it until around 1999/2000.
