A TFA points out, the TSA aren't doing the searching; the valets are searching under order of the TSA. So, as others have mentioned, when your valuables disappear you have no recourse against the TSA for instructing the valets because "national security" and no recourse against the valet because "just following orders," and no one is generally going to own up to stealing from you. "Look, you left it there, we don't know who searched it or when, just luck of the draw"
Sure, but in the case of the two mentioned, the members of Radiohead and Trent Reznor are all pretty adept at studio work, so there's a lot less spent hiring sound guys, producers, etc, when you can do it yourself. If you've got the money (which they do), then time/labor isn't really an issue either since you can rely on saved cash to get by while you do it your way. Not saying this will always be the case, but generally, if you can do it yourself at a fraction of the cost you would face going through an agency, you'd probably walk off in the black no problem (assuming too that your music is good and you can find a fanbase).
Flashback queries and flashback archives (they are really cool)
This this this. Working with Oracle was very interesting at a few years back. Odd things, like not being able to do a LIMIT, OFFSET in an easy mannor (read: any way but LIMIT, OFFSET) was so strange - the DBAs explained it as something to do with how Oracle manages row count and the uncertainty of the rows returned? idk, it's been a while. They did give us a way around...but, I digress.
Flashbacks are nasty cool - the way I understand it, as I was only watching the dev who about two hours before had hosed a production database, is that you can SELECT INTO FROM a point in time. We had a DBA on the line who walked him through the flashback, and before we knew it, the DB was back to the state it was in hours before.
HOWEVER. Go with Postgres. Stick with Postgres. No reason to shell out all that cash for licenses, and Postgres is powerful enough to do just about anything you need it to, imho.
The 5 will absolutely drop in price - hence, I could get a new iPhone 4 for $0.01 with a two-year contract. I doubt the carrier would be eating the full cost of $649 for a 4, because it doesn't cost that anymore.
but I can't understand why he'd actively campaign against people who are different from him..
I'll provide a little anecdotal evidence as to the "why," which is, he's a bigot. Story:
My girlfriend went to high school with his (niece? I can't recall the exact relationship off the top of my head) - regardless, when they were at his house once, he denied one of their friends from coming along because he was gay.
He's bigoted, through and through, and it has shown in both his professional and personal life.
My Girlfriend has been using Windows 7 on her laptop and trying different flavors of Linux on a spare machine. This just helped her make up her mind that her next machine either won't have Windows (Mac), or will be completely Linux-able.
Put together a presentation to show your new director how you spend your monies - judging by your estimates, it's safe to say that you aren't quite sure how your department spends it's money. Put it in graphs, in a spreadsheet, make a chart, whatever you need to in order for your new director to understand where the budget goes. But, if you don't know yourself, you can't defend your stance. Itemize it and break it down, learn where all that $$$$ goes so you can prove that it goes somewhere worthwhile - if it doesn't, propose to cut it, and make changes where you can. You don't have to hit the 50% if you can convince him/her that 1) you aren't wasting money and 2) you can find places to help save money.
Like a good resume: don't just say what you do or how you do it, but explain why and how it helps the company. "We use these clusters for the larger computations" vs "We use these clusters for larger computations, which save us 30% on time and help boost productivity compared to when we didn't have them" yadda yadda.
Fair enough - I guess I've never run across this, despite using Word documents across multiple work environments and between OSX and Windows. "Incompatible," to me, means won't work at all, but I can understand your point. Iwouldntliketosee that either.
Citation needed. We use Office in our office, with devs and designers on Mac, PMs on Windows, sysadmins on Linux/OSX/Windows, and clients on Windows mostly. We have no issues sharing, editing, and otherwise using documents across platforms.
Amusingly, your argument lacks evidence (even anecdotal).
"Morally 'good'" is a hot one - we could likely have been further along with the new Iranian president and Iran in general if we didn't look like asses. While we try to promote talks, treaties, various lines of good intent, we are also actively sabotaging and spying. Sounds legit.
Yes. Corporations absolutely can hold office and vote. Holding office, although not directly, is done by buying politicians. What good is a politician that isn't voted in? Just use your massive amounts of corporate cash and networking to flood the airwaves with media for Your Guy or against The Other Guy, create vast networks of batshit politicians to turn the attention away (see: Tea Party), and leverage your ability to pledge without boundaries or accountability to propel anyone you want into office.
Politicians spend countless hours and monies defending their seats instead of listening to the electorate, and they live lavish lives with 3-day work weeks because someone is paying them far more than we are.
So, 3 phones, 2 iPods, 3 iPads. Considering the oldest phone came out in, what, 2010? Not bad, and quite expected. Being able to upgrade, no worry, to the latest iOS on my phone from back then is wonderful. No rooting, no unlocking, no futzing or worrying about deciding to keep supporting my hardware so I don't have to shell out for a new contract and/or phone every 2 years. In contrast, my girlfriend's Xperia X10 came out around the same time as the iPhone 4 - I spent nearly a month rooting, unlocking, restarting, repeating. We're semi-stable on CM10 with the latest kernel, and it's still super flakey. The stock OS is horrid - no control on stock apps, the theme is super heavy on resources, and Sony has not and probably never will offer any kind of upgrade through official channels. My Nook Color will never see a decent Android update. I have friends at work who, even with the technical knowhow, will absolutely not root or unlock their Android devices because of the hassle and the fear - despite having capable hardware, they'll be in 2.x land forever or until they upgrade. Buy the newest iPhone? You'll be solid on updates for at least 3 years, period.
Having to download third-party software to meet security standards isn't a "good solution."
Just saying.
In all fairness, Google does apparently roll out security patches to older Android versions via Play, regardless of the fact that it may not be running 4.x
THANK YOU. Only post so far mentioning the real numbers from the Dashboard and it's not even moderated...fantastic. Good call on Kindles - Nooks are behind as well AFAIK but I don't know what market they tap into.
Facts - 3.2 is the only 3.x line considered in the Android dashboard. The "UI Shift" of Honeycomb was an outlier, with some components of pre 3.x and 3.x making it into 4.x. 4.x is Jelly Bean. 0.1% of the market is on 3.2 and almost 60% are on some variant of 4.x. 60% (rounded even) is much less than roughly 90% on iOS.
"Price range" is misleading - the iPhone is ~ $800 unsubsidized - if you're buying an $800 Android phone it better damn well run the latest version...and shit rainbows out of the USB port when in Debugging Mode.
You may not be aware, but Oracle costs a TON of money. It's always worth a rep's time, because they're getting paid massive amounts of money to tell you how to do a LIMIT, OFFSET in Oracle. Forcing people over to Oracle from MySQL, for those gullible enough to do it, will mean some extra chump change for Oracle while simultaneously driving off anyone smart enough to go with a truly open alternative. No skin off their backs - Oracle has one client who is a Big Bank, and that's probably enough business from licensing to bankroll all the phone support for all of their products until the end of time.
(sorry to my previous mod ups - you guys were funny and insightful - I'm sure others will mod appropriately - lol @ FirstPostgreSQL)
I believe this falls under COPPA (at least in the US) - if your page has any content directed towards children < 15, it can't have ads, social buttons, etc. It's not about having too many ads targeted at children, it's making sure that there aren't ANY on pages meant for kids.
Of course, the Internet is huge, and I'm pretty sure I all but avoided places for "kids" sine I started using it when I was 12-14 or whenever.
The number of times I've seen questionable material show up at work on a huge Cinema Display from Google Image search (it's so easy with even the most mundane of searches)...idk, I'm glad. If I want boobies, I'll search for boobies. Google can do what they want with filtering on Image Search - not accidentally having fan-made hentai show up in front of coworkers sounds awesome to me.
WOW - hadn't even thought about that...does the UK have similar provisions to get access to public records as we do in the US? If so, any teacher, politician, businessperson, clergymen, etc, will soon find themselves either defending their opt-out stance OR being noticeably more agitated.

I'm sure you meant iOS 7, as another commenter pointed out, 6 is on 93% of iDevices in the wild. As for 7, Apple's site states:
iOS 7 will be compatible with:
- iPhone 4
- iPhone 4S
- iPhone 5
- iPod touch 16GB
- iPod touch 32GB/64GB
- iPad 2
- iPad with Retina display
- iPad mini
So, 3 phones, 2 iPods, 3 iPads. Considering the oldest phone came out in, what, 2010? Not bad, and quite expected. Being able to upgrade, no worry, to the latest iOS on my phone from back then is wonderful.

RAAAARRGGHHH again FACTS 4.x is NOT 75% of the market. It's almost 60%. Sorry, I just keep having to point this out...
Most least-flaming argument [read: discussion] between iOS and Android I've ever seen on /.
*mad applause, golf style*
Facts - 3.2 is the only 3.x line considered in the Android dashboard. The "UI Shift" of Honeycomb was an outlier, with some components of pre 3.x and 3.x making it into 4.x. 4.x is Jelly Bean. 0.1% of the market is on 3.2 and almost 60% are on some variant of 4.x. 60% (rounded even) is much less than roughly 90% on iOS.

I keep seeing "75%" and "Android 4.x" - please, see THIS -
4.0.3 - 4.0.4
- Ice Cream Sandwich
- API: 15
- Install base: 25.6%
4.1.x
- Jelly Bean
- API: 16
- Install base: 29.0%
4.2.x
- API: 17
- Install base: 4.0%
3 API versions across who knows how many minor versions, 25.6+29+4 = 58.6%
58.6 != 75
I guess I was saying that, in regards to the time of the reps, it's always worth their time.
