Also, the "more legroom" is also a thing of the past in many places... the seat next to you will be free but the seat pitch is the same throughout the aeroplane on many short-haul flights.
The radicals and tones are an essential portion of the language, removing them would be like taking English words and removing the spaces and punctuation marks. It would turn it into a mess.
Nah. They have to ask verification questions. It's just like when Google called me the other day telling me my GMail account has been hacked into. In order for them to verify who I was, I had to give them my name, my address, two phone numbers, another email address, my mother's maiden name, the credit card number that was registered on my Play account and a list of all the addresses I had lived at in the last five years. I gave them that information so they would know it was really me and then they helped get my account sorted out.
And which questions did you ask Google to confirm that it was really them calling you?
Are you saying that facebook.com's codebase would be especially well made, or especially 'chicken scratch'?
From what I've heard, developers sometimes just put new code in for a new feature and it seems to me as if there's no overarching careful design or "code-base grooming".
So, especially "chicken scratch". (Though granted, it usually works.)
ex: facebook...it's just words and pictures with a user login. the rest is shit to make Zuckerberg money. Sure their codebase is probably pretty well designed and impressive...
You've never read an article on how development at Facebook works, I take it.
That is how the physical bitcoins themselves work. The authentication keys are printed on the note or physical coin which can be converted back to electronic currency at any time by the recipient.
That's half of it; the other half is that the keys are only visible after removing a tamper-evident cover. That's the part that lends confidence to the fact that the coins cannot have been spent already and that only the person removing the cover knows the key. (Well, they and the person who minted the coins and "loaded" them -- but not the previous owner of the physical coin.)
once the isotype batteries are used up they will be disposed of only through authorized agents of the manufacturer.
And you know that if the radioisotope batteries had come to pass, that sentence might be true for first-world countries with a stable political infrastructure and a wide network of agents, but in some countries, people would be taking them apart on the street and harvesting still-usable components... and quite possibly doing so not only to their own used batteries but also to some sent to them by "authorized agents of the manufacturer".
Just look at what's happening with electronics, with people "cooking" circuit boards to harvest the metals on them, etc.
Such a cost increase would probably be due to similar bungling on the part of the seller, I imagine, who is not able to articulate clearly what, exactly, he wants. It's not like QLD was buying off-the-shelf software that required no customisation.
"A burger, please!"
"Wait, no, I'm allergic to peanuts. Did the packaging of any of the food you sell say it may contain traces of nuts? Please throw away all of the stuff you have cooking, sterilise the food preparation area, and re-make my burger."
"That's a meat burger! I can't eat meet. I meant a soy burger, of course."
"Well, if you don't have one, go out and buy one."
"If they only come in packs of 100, whatever, I don't care. Buy a pack and make me one burger."
I could be terribly mistaken but last time I checked Homo did not refer exclusively to humans its root is "the same".
That is correct in Greek but not in Latin.
"Homicide" is a Latin-Latin compound (the first part is from Latin "homo", human), not a Greek-Latin one like "homosexual" (the first part is from Greek "homo", same).
However, for whatever reason, the Talmudic interpretation has decided that electricity is fire. I'm not sure why, but that is what the orthodox churches teach.
The story I heard is that switching electricity on or off is fire, because flipping the switch may cause a tiny spark.
(Which would explain why you would be allowed to leave your electric oven on - it's the switching process that's not allowed rather than the electricity per se.)
Who says they even need to claim that so-and-so change fixed it? One time when I looked around Launchpad, a common way I was seeing issues getting closed was someone coming several months later and being like "this was reported for 12.10, can you reproduce it in 13.04?" and then closing it as incomplete when the user who has probably switched to a similar package or another distro at that point no longer cares.
Near ten years as a software developer with no major medical bills (crossing fingers it continues). Don't remember the exact amount it saves me each paycheck but I think by this point I've covered the high deductible.
That depends on what you did with the money you saved.
Did you put it in the bank (or under your mattress) so that you'll be able to pay the deductible in the unfortunate event you would need it?
And now suddenly free Flickr users get - what was it? - 100 terabytes free, removing much of the draw of Flickr Pro (which isn't even sold any more, though you can now buy an "Ad Free" level).
I had also paid for Flickr but this recent change is making me reconsider. (In particular, wondering how long Flickr will still be around.)
The real problem is that kids aren't given the suggestion to look at trades these days, they got the same spiel that we were getting in the 80's and 90's, that going into technology is the way to go. But everyone needs someone to lay and fit pipe, fix their car, and so on.
Unfortunately, to fix someone's car these days, you need to get into technology as well:(
It used to be that you could fix a car or a television set if you were a reasonable tech.
But now it's all electronic and you basically swap the entire component (logic board, control device, what have you) - and you essentially need the diagnostic equipment from the original manufacturer to plug into the on-board circuit to read out the fault codes.

GCCs middle end is intentionally blurry
How can it be an end if it's in the middle?

I thought of that panel, too.

Radicals, maybe, but there do exist tonal languages written with an accented version of the Roman alphabet.
Heck, there exist dialects of Mandarin written with an alphabet (Cyrillic, in this case).

What is the condition where a person thinks a word has a different meaning because it sounds like something totally unrelated?
Malapropism?

How would they remember being killed?
They could remember being hunted.

Take all the human knowledge you want to preserve and convert it to binary.
Add a decimal point before the first digit; this gives you a number between 0 and 1.
Make a notch on a metal bar that divides it exactly in that ratio.
And you're done!
Ah, the original babelfish link, http://babelfish.altavista.com./.
Wasn't it originally at babelfish.altavista.digital.com before that?
Darn, I wanted them to go with my idea of upgrading the town's name to Ipv6swich
That's "Ipv6switch" with a T, I think.
Permanently burning is fine. You're allowed to light a candle before the Sabbath and then keep it burning, for example. (As I understand it.)

On my computer monitor I need more height!! Please bring back 16:10 for computer monitors! 16:9 is for tv's only.
I still have my 16:12 (aka 4:3) for pretty much this reason.

Or did you spend it?
Agreed. I pay for both every year!
