You mean the key that 90% of gamers disabled or removed because accidentally touching it just as you were about to cap/frag/score/win/pwn/save the princess is the leading cause of keyboards being snapped in half over a knee in a fit of hysterical rage? That key us gamers haven't used, ever? Great.
The key that you, gamer, don't use. The rest of us adapted to it sometime over the last 10-15 years since it was introduced. Quick launch explorer? Win+E. Search? Win+F. Force-minimize everything? Win+D? Gently minimize everything? Win+M. Lock quickly? Win+L. Run dialog? Win+R. There are more.
As far as hitting it by accident... just don't. Not to mention most games provide a means to disable it.
Interestingly it's get a lot of mods. While I can't see the numbers, it's been fluctuating up and down within a point - so far I think about 8-10 total mod points have been spent on it (mostly insightful vs overrated) .
prejudice cost Obama between 3.1 percentage points and 5.0 percentage points
Assuming that it's correct* -- good! This is excellent! When you look at where we were 20, 30, 40 years ago... 3-5% of votes being lost due to prejudice is negligable - in any study of a large population it's within the friggin margin of error
So - good job, America. We've come a long way.

Actually that's pretty much required. A takedown request is a legal request, and you need to confirm that you are the copyright holder and have the necessary rights to request the takedown.
2) they had somehow gotten two uniformed, armed police officers to stand as full-time guards in the store. I really appreciate this expenditure of my local tax dollars, knowing that they are vigilantly watching over Apple's goods. Certainly this isn't something they could or shoul dhave handled via private security or something... however do jewelry stores manage?
If you'd pull your head outta your ass for a minute, you'd realize there's such a thing as hiring off-duty officers for security. But that would preempt your conserva-rage, so whatever.
As you can see above, I thanked someone for pointing out that very thing to me, as I wasn't aware of it. And amazingly, he managed to provide this information by making neither insults nor assumptions about my political affiliations.
I actually had the misfortune to need to go to one in my local mall, when my work Mac Book Pro's hard drive died under warranty.

Eventually you'll train your muscles to anticipate the impact of the virtual swords and stop mid-swing (at the point where the virtual swords would clash) and begin the next move, possibly pulling back for another strike or pushing forward to knock back the enemy
Of course, doing that means the movements become stunted and artificial -- because the idea is always to swing *through* your target and not *at* your target -- thus defeating the purpose of making a realistic swordplay game...
So what you're saying is that you deliberately behaved and presented yourself in a way consistent with people who regularly did things that attracted the cops attention, and can't understand why it attracted attention?
There is a *reason* that the stereotypes that lead to profiling arise -- it's not just because some cop somewhere thinks it's inappropriate. So yes - when you dress and act like a stereotype, you should absolutely expect to get treated as one. It's not fair, but outward appearances and past experience with other people of similar outward appearances are what they have to work with.
You can't cure willful ignorance. If a salesperson actually gave two shits they would pick up a book and learn basic programming skills on their own
You're under the mistaken belief that everyone is capable of really understanding basic programming skills. For examples of how well that assumption works out, look at the quality of code we got out of the waves of late-90s grads in the dot-com era, and more recently from the majority of offshore consultancies that hire new comp-sci graduates by the thousand.
And frankly, the level this guy is talking about is a few notches above basic.
On th other hand, if I came to work wearing a square foot of fabric while everyone else around me was clothed, I would expect to be stared at. (though in my case, in more of a "my eyes! Must look away to stop the burning!" sort of way.)
ACtually I did read it; and an important point is the *reason* he's saying it's unlawful. He is not saying employers may not restrict the kinds of information that employees publish; only that they must be specific.
"Rules that are ambiguous as to their application to Section 7 activity, and contain no limiting language or context that would clarify to employees that the rule does not restrict Section 7 rights, are unlawful"
And in this case, it all hung on the rather loosely defined term "confidential information". He found that because of the lack of definition, that term could be considered to include conditions of employment.
Had they been more specific in excluding trade secrets, that would have been permissible.
Regardless of the level of politeness they used, it is a perfectly reasonable use of the term to say they demanded that of you. You're splitting hairs.
In the same way they demand that he work 40 hours a week, demand that he only take X days off a year and demand that he dress appropriately for the workplace and observe their policies?
It's not splitting hairs - it's a negotiated contract term, the same as any of the above that I listed. It's no different simply because some find it objectionable.
If you're into devops, the company I work for has today released a knife client plugin for compatibility with Azure, allowing you to spin up and manage Azure instances easily from the command line. And of course knife can bootstrap Chef onto any of the announced Azure OSs. I'll let the press release provide details, because it does a better job of it than I will;)
Blackberry sucks, BES is terrible and I am glad to see them go.
And yet you don't have that pesky rooting problem, meaning that users have no way around the policies you need to enforce. Not to mention being able to enforce firewall policies that ensure your company data isn't accessible to any app. (Heck, you can even restrict them to a whitelist of allowed apps if you want.)
Even the partial root exploit found for the PlayBook has been corrected - and no new root is in sight. (Good thing since this is the foundation of their new platform.)
As far as suckage -- I'd suggest taking a look at BB device made int he last couple of years - and certainly the new BB10 is shaping up to be promising, as it's a completely clean break from the legacy OS.
Alternatively you have implemented additional design patterns without knowing it.
That's something I've seen a lot - just because someone doesn't know a name for something doesn't mean that they can't use it. In interviews I've asked people to explain the factory pattern (arbitrary example) to me - and had them draw blanks. But a few questions reveals that they're familiar with it, and just never associated it with the name "factory pattern".
The commentary IS the art. To leave out the commentary would be to miss the entire point.
Um, no. The commentary in this case was the second hand blog article - which starts speaking of drones, kill lists, etc - and not the original artist's commentary as far as I know. (Though someone who speaks Dutch could confirm it.)

I remember when this used to be called a pocket protector.
Good to know, thanks for posting - I was digging around a bit to see if I could find how they would have managed this, and coming up blank.
I see you have never been to an Apple store.
I actually had the misfortune to need to go to one in my local mall, when my work Mac Book Pro's hard drive died under warranty.

Are you TRYING to resurrect APK?
That makes more sense to me. The way it was originally phrased gave the impression you were singling out this one requirement for the name 'demand'.
No I am not saying it. Lafe Solomon an attorney working for the National Labor Relations Board is saying it. Read the PDF embedded in the original article:

I'm a little surprised someone with a 4-digit UID would say this
A low uid just means they got here first. Frankly I'm surprised that someone with a low-six uid hasn't realized that already ;)
