The article gives about as much detail as you need really. The heap stuff sounds familiar, I think they mentioned that they were going to optimise it pretty early on. It is nice that they've achieved such speed gains though, especially on the driver side.
Even better is how he thinks that every innocent person in North Korea should die just because their leaders are douches. If that were true, we should have nuked the US when Dubya was in power.
The only way to deal with it is brainwashing, since that's how it got in there in the first place. Logical reasoning can help, but only if the mind is in a state to accept the reasoning. Otherwise even in the face of impeccable logic, people will still choose god as a demonstration of how awesome their faith is.
I don't think anyone is claiming you should stand there and take it.. if someone was being that much of an asshole to my flatmates as well as just me, and then had the gall to physically hit me while I was trying to help tidy up, I'd probably punch him in the solar plexus. That might have shocked him enough to think about how much of an asshole he was being, or at least to stop treating you like a doormat.
I often try to be patient with bad situations, and usually I'm quite shy and unwilling to risk insulting people, but if they actually threaten or insult me (or even worse, people I care about), I seem to develop a pair pretty quickly. It's one of the few times that I've noticed I naturally look people in the eye without feeling awkward.
Probably because transgender is an adjective, not a noun. The s wasn't really necessary in that context anyway. Most of us just use language like that naturally of course, like saying "the reds" rather than "red balls" in snooker..
Do you even know what "bias" means? It essentially means "not being fair". So you are worried she might be biased. Nobody is putting words into your mouth by mentioning the word bias - they are simply summarising your point of view with more succinct words..
And that's why I don't ever want to go into "management". Why give up the enjoyable parts of the job, the things that made you love the job in the first place, just to make more money?
If you're still crawling under desks, then you obviously don't want to be wearing a suit. I just wear my jeans and t-shirt, and occasionally throw an shirt on over the top when I want to be a bit more "professional". The dress code here is "anything with a collar". I got into trouble for wearing awesomely comfortable sweat pants one time, so now I stick with jeans:p
From the Think Different Ad: "They push the human race forward."
By litigating so that their competitors can't sell what may end up being superior products! Yeaaaaaaahhhhhh! Keep pushing the human race forward Apple!
More subtle than your usual efforts, but still obviously trolling.
Android and iOS are about as capable as each other, with sizeable app ecosystems. Windows Phone is lagging way behind, and will never catch up.
Your client's main product (Windows) got ahead in the first place by being "some mad OS that can run on every piece of crap you put it on". It's a winning strategy.
what is a race? Is it to see who has the fastest reaction time, or who runs the fastest, or both?
Obviously both are a part of this type of race. Previously due to necessity, but now in the ages of high speed cameras and other tech, just due to tradition. If they simply wanted to see who could do the fastest 100m from a flying start, they could just let everyone start whenever they want, and measure their performance from 10m to 100m.
What point are you trying to make with all this talk of fairness and previous rulings, if not a possible bias? You didn't need to say the actual word, it was obvious what you were implying.
Does it not make sense to use a judge who knows the situation quite well? I've seen that done in other high profile cases without anyone complaining..
I don't really have an opinion either way, as I haven't been following the case, but you seem to be in quite the trolling mood today!
I don't think Frankenstein is meant to be a cautionary tale - it's just a fun idea for a horror story. From what I remember reading in the foreword as a kid, Shelley wrote the story as part of a competition with her friends to see who could write the best horror story. It wasn't meant to be a warning to the world.
I didn't say it did.. I just googled it and found this on their blog though:
"The short answer is that Logitechâ(TM)s Unifying receiver delivers much greater energy efficiency than Bluetooth and is one of the ways that weâ(TM)ve optimized the keyboardâ(TM)s energy management.
To explain it further, unlike Logitechâ(TM)s Unifying receiver there is there is a very noticeable latency upon reconnection of Bluetooth technology when a product âoewakes-upâ after a period of non-use. To side-step this issue, Bluetooth requires a device keep the wireless connection active as long as possible, which is an unnecessary drain on energy. A Bluetooth solar keyboard like the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 would not have been feasible with todayâ(TM)s available technology."
I linked both my keyboard and trackball up to one receiver, which I have hooked into a USB hub on my desk, so it doesn't waste any ports on my laptop..
Well, that point would have worked while I was still sitting at work.. but right now I'm sitting at home with normal battery powered bluetooth keyboard and mouse.. so in this situation the solar powered keyboard would still be more environmentally friendly.. though I could get rechargeable batteries of course..
Logitech also do a nice solar powered keyboard. My desk doesn't get any direct sunlight, and often I leave the lights off, but it always has plenty of charge. The batteries will apparently last 3 months even in complete darkness.
Now somebody needs to make some decent solar powered trackballs or trackpads and I'll be cable and battery free:)
Ah I heard that they have 2 separate development houses working on the series so that they can release every 6 months. But yeah it looks like every year. I guess that's not quite so bad when you compare to something like subscribing to WOW for a year.. not that I do that either!
There are some unplanned outages, but nothing that causes major concerns.
It sounds like you should be working PR for the Indian government, rather than Microsoft.
You definitely seem to be the best troll out there, Mr "I love to chime in whenever anything can remotely relate to North Korea and Microsoft".. but I really wish you'd get a new job.
When doing a backflip, you end up in the same place, generally in the same spot (if you have good technique). If they did this with a flip, it would have been an Arabian, not a backflip.
And on top of that, they'll be coming out with a new Call of Duty in November probably like they do every year and a lot of the online players will migrate to that which reduces value of the game a bit for me.
I tried MW2 just to see what all the fuss was about. It was pretty fun, but not fun enough for me to play their little game of upgrading for the sake of upgrading every 6 months..

Well, it is just a blog post - perhaps they'll do a more in depth presentation at a later point? :)

You could probably get that to just under an hour if you tried falling over while running at top speed!

HAND.
Having just watched Act 1, I agree wholeheartedly.. it looks like basically a quirky romantic comedy.
And on top of that, they'll be coming out with a new Call of Duty in November probably like they do every year and a lot of the online players will migrate to that which reduces value of the game a bit for me.
