I thanked them once for providing me with work. Another time, a client told me that he was also contacted and complied with the instructions, but because he was so co-operative and very paranoid about intrusion, the scammers actually set him up with a pay by the month virtual service with a vpn somewhere in NY. Amazing! After about a year, he didn't want to pay anymore and asked me to clean his system. Another time, a newbie girl stammered through the script. It was embarrassing. I let her go on until she finished and I assumed the role of her supervisor, told her that she should be more confident, practice a few more times etc. before informing her that what she was doing was illegal.
With a 27"+ monitor at a reasonable ergonomic distance away and at a suitable magnification, you can easily read 2 pages next to each other on the screen, like a book. My old 19" 4:3 monitor died a few years ago and the 27" 16:9 works a treat for my uses.
No. The space before the full stop has nothing to do with typesetting. It is a writing style now out of favour. A few years ago I edited a 500 page document and had to remove all the spaces before stops. Easy enough to do - just search for " " and replace with "" a few times but a hassle none the less. The author was an 80 year old writer of esoteric dogma. She also indented the first word at the beginning of every paragraph.
Spot on! Latin was used for diplomatic and administrative purposes across Europe, Central Europe and Eastern Europe during the times of the Holy Roman Empire. Why? Because of the huge problem of communication with peoples within the empire. At least 19 different languages had to have some sort of commonality, and the RC church was the ideal way of this kind of transmission. Don't forget that the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Rite) lasted to 1250 and used Greek and Latin. The Holy Roman Empire (in some form) lasted till 1918, with the last Emperor, Otto Hapsburg dying a few years ago. So even though Austrian German was the operative language for hundreds of years, Latin was used as the written form and spoken still in diplomatic circles when German was not shared. The old Austro-Hungarian Empire officially stopped using Latin in 1867, although in practice it was used for another 50 years as German became the lingua franca. However I should point out that the watershed v German and English had a profound effect of Sciences and History. Even today, the ex-Axis countries are repairing the gap. Their Universities were not recognized in the West, and the Western academia have consequently poor knowledge of Central and Eastern European sciences as it wasn't inclusive in the Western mindset.
Close but no cigar. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it went like this:
Towards 2000 (Beyond production) - a 1hr episode by Australians for Australians in the 90's Beyond 2000 - Same though after 2000 AD - then came Mythbusters for the US market. The 2 original shows were future science, gadget shows and had no Mythbuster content. The 43 minute show format is purely a US production. Note: Jamie and Adam are here in Oz right now and have a stage show where they are mythbusting all by themselves.
I would be more interested in knowing the parameters and outcomes of the software. Otherwise the code could be as simple as 1+n where n are all the prior votes counted. Sounds too simple to be an issue so I assume it's got to be a lot more complex than that. The electoral rolls are marked by hand in each polling place. Even if all sheets are scanned then checked later, it should be a no-brainer piece of code.
YMMV - The i7 I was referring to was an Asus about 12 months old. It was clean, dust free and otherwise worked well. I had it upstairs near my DVD collection and would rip a DVD (using Handbrake), then copy the mkv file to my home server, if the rip took less than 40 mins, then all ok, but if I happened to be around and ripped a 2nd DVD within a few minutes, then BEFORE it finished the rip, it would shut down. After looking at logs etc, I worked out it was overheating. A USB fan~table did help but I would give it 30 mins to cool off before I ripped again. Strangely, a crappy Compaq C60 would rip without problems, but it took soo long that it wasn't worth the wait. In the end, I was ripping on a Dual core tower and the i7 laptop without too many problems.
True. A high end i7 laptop will normally overheat when ripping a DVD or any heavy duty process that lasts for 45+ mins. They are just not designed to be a workhorse. In fact, I can't think of any reason why you should buy an i7 laptop as far as software is concerned. You going to render massive images for hrs on a laptop??? Laptops are a compromise, not a replacement. Netbooks/Tablets are a different matter and much more suited to Win 8. Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 is excellent and works a treat with Win 7/8 installations. The $99 MS tablet would be an excellent addition to the MS environment. But Win 8 (and 8.1) was never designed to operate on a desktop environment. Win 9 will be and during installation, it will determine which GUI to install. I can hardly wait till 3rd quarter 2015 when it is released.
That all your applications still run and operate the same as they did on Windows 7 right?
No it doesn't. Installing MS Office proves the point for me. No tile, no desktop icon. I had to find the installation and make shortcuts and pin them to the taskbar.
You can wind down the cpu voltage and leave the HD in a power down state. I ran a home server for years with a total TPC of around 45 watts when on and around 5 watts on standby. I also paid for a 3KW solar and now use a turbo diesel car with excellent economy. All bulbs are low wattage and when I pay for electrical usage, it is minimal. The supplier pays me 60c/KW and the electricity is solely Hydro. There are no other forms of energy available to me where I live (no gas/coal etc) but I can burn wood for heating.
Not being USA-ian, I'm not sure what actions or statements are treason. But some of the Republican statements that have come out publicly against Obama are not only personally offensive but are against the State: i.e. Treasonous - that the opposition won't support a bill because they don't consider Obama capable. It was much worse than, implicating the majority that voted him in twice! But I forget the actual insult. I think Obama would of had more than enough to arrest the leadership of the Republican party for treasonous statements. Yet he has done nothing.
As for the Russians? Well history since WWII has clearly shown that Russia has used their gas pipelines, forcing nations into dependency, raising and lowering prices ad hoc, putting political and economic pressures on these now dependent countries. That was the bribe used against the Ukraine in late 2013 - cheap gas and billions of rubles for them to stay out of the EU.
I agree with the poor MS documentation. IMHO most of the relevant docs are by 3rd parties. There is a huge document gap between "How To...." and technical reference. You really need to be MS trained in the MS ecosystem and even then you are forced into some form of specialty. Trying to get to grips with MS speak is another issue. Mind you, YMMV - but there are quite a few entry points that promise a lot in introductory documentation, but fail to deliver specifics or solutions, forcing the user to scrounge forums etc. I'm reminded of Monty Python, describing how to play the flute (paraphrasing) "Blow into one end and move your fingers up and down on the outside." Not all MS programs are that bad, but what saves it is the knowledgebase that develops for it, until it goes critical, too large and complex to be of practical use.
The Bloater Drive is a reactionless engine. Read 'Bill The Galactic Hero' for a full description. From Wikipedia: "Bloater Drive
The standard ways of circumventing relativity in 1950s and 1960s science fiction were hyperspace, subspace and spacewarp. Harrison's contribution was the "Bloater Drive". This enlarges the gaps between the atoms of the ship until it spans the distance to the destination, whereupon the atoms are moved back together again, reconstituting the ship at its previous size but in the new location. An occasional side-effect is that the occupants see a planet drifting, in miniature, through the hull."

'nuff said.
Watch out for the burning shards of plastic and metal on impact.
Plus, the Germans insisted on using the metric system.
Much better than the Napoleonic measurement. That was a disaster.
I have some old books (17th century) where the first word of the next page overleaf is printed under the text. When did this go out of fashion?
No. The space before the full stop has nothing to do with typesetting. It is a writing style now out of favour.

Why so suprised? The point of renewable energy is using less fossil fuels.
I like that! Imagine constructing images out of photons.... - oh wait.....
So that means that tall gangly kids are stupid? :)

Automated systems? Well maybe as long as they update the Visa card's expiry date.....

My desirable functions:
1. Blood pressure
2. Cholesterol
3. Blood Sugar
4. Blood Oxygen %
5. Air quality
6. Altitude
7. Velocity
8. Lux
9. Wifi
10. Solar re-charging
So far everything misses the mark.

It costs them zero? There is still a hidden data charge from the mobile operator as part of a plan. Nothing is free.

But it probably won't.
