Yes, but they don't generally charge for an upgrade, and if you break it in the process of overclocking what they sold, they don't support it.
This is a new low as they're selling you a chip, a chip that they're guaranteeing will work at the higher clockspeed, but won't unlock for you unless you pay more than they were charging for the chip. This sort of shit is why I try to avoid buying Intel products whenever I can.
If that's the case, then you're doing it wrong. "If you've got time to lean, you've got time to clean." It doesn't mean that every moment during the day needs to be tied down to a checklist that the boss hands out, but it does mean that anything you're doing on the clock should be related in some meaningful way to the business.
Back when folks used to hang out at the water cooler during down time, there was at least the advantage to the company of improved morale and increased connection between employees. Facebook doesn't confer any benefit to the business at all, and increases all sorts of liability to lawsuits.
One of the biggest things I remember noticing with the Vista RC years back was how much less time I spent waiting for random apps to start during the booting process. A big problem with XP and earlier OSes was that MS didn't have any code to start applications sequentially, which would result in them all rushing to get data off the disk at the same time.
Even now, the time it takes me to boot my much faster desktop with a much faster disk is a few minutes longer than what it takes me to boot my laptop. The main difference being that I've got XP on my desktop and 7 on my laptop.
That's just rationalizing the issue. I've worked security on days where there was a major protest around the building, and cell phones are just not that big of a deal. If you work around the public you're going to get surveilled, it's just going to happen. And most crowds large enough to worry about aren't nimble enough to make much use of the information anyways.
If you haven't made adjustments to the procedures afterwards to account for that you're screwed, phones or no phones.
Platforms can be dangerous places, however if the protest causes things to become unsafe, that's what the police are for. One has a right to peaceably assemble, which implies that one isn't causing an unnecessary safety hazard.
A few people with signs or shouting slogans is hardly going to cause dangerous conditions on the platform of any station that's in compliance with the local fire code.
BART is a government agency and as such is bound to follow the constitution, whether or not it's a wise idea in a particular instance.
Either protesters have the right to peaceably assemble on public property or they don't. And I'm not personally sure I see the difference between a protest on a street corner or in a park and one that happens in a publicly owned train station.
That's really a problem, you need to expend energy to keep the satellite in orbit and you need to have energy to raise the payload. Which unfortunately, is liable to be source of the fuel to keep the satellite in orbit. If you've got another means of fueling the satellite to keep it in orbit, you're probably going to be better off using that to get things into space.
Trying to use cable under tension in a scenario like this is never going to work without a major revision to the laws of thermodynamics. It is how ever conceivable that something like this could be achieved with an exceptionally tall tower. Which would be extremely difficult to do, but is at least within the realm of possibility as the force to keep everything in place would come from compression rather than tension.
The idea is tantamount to expecting to go to the moon by pulling on your own boot straps.
In order for it to work, you'd need to have some energy source to resist the pull of the item you're wanting to lift into space. And by the time you start sending rockets up with fuel to do that, you might as well just use rockets to send the payload into orbit because it's much more efficient.
That's a large part of the problem, this was a Canadian court that made this ruling. Not an American one. Consequently, this isn't binding on anybody that isn't operating out of Canada.
If you want a ruling that will affect everybody everywhere you'd have to use the US court system as it stands as presently the US delegates control over some important bits of the system to ICANN. I doubt that will last for much longer given the abuses that the US government has been engaging in of the system, but that's how it is presently.
You might also have courts in other parts of the world that can put injunctions against parties from using a particular domain name, but it's the US courts that are the ones that have jurisdiction over ICANN.
Patents shouldn't always equal products sometimes a valid patent requires technology that nobody can get to work at the present. However, there should be a requirement that you're using it or are in the process of bringing a product to market. Just filing for a patent does benefit the public as it's then available for use when the patent expires.
The main problem is folks that file papers with no intention of turning it into a real product and who sue without even attempting to produce anything.
As an add on it isn't that bad, but if you require drivers to print then it's a huge step backwards. One of the reasons I went for the Mac version of my Laserjet was because FreeBSD was a lot easier to set up with a postscript printer. Printer companies don't typically release drivers for all possible platforms and Postscript was a god send for those not using a supported OS.
Sure it's nice to be able to check levels and all that, but it's hardly essential, and not worth giving up the ability to use the printer on whatever OS one wants to use.
That's completely untrue. You need some speculators in the stock market because there's a lot of businesses that need the proceeds of stock sales before they're a reliable bet and during times of risk.
But this is a completely different matter. Domain names are for the purpose of not having to type an IP address in to access a site. Having people licensing sites with no intention of using the site does nothing helpful.
As for the ruling, as much as I typically like to see people sticking it to corporations this was an idiotic court decision that will have real consequences in the long term. If you're now the owner of a particular domain, that means that there is no way that the registration can be stripped or a means of a registrar seizing the domain if payment is withheld.
Well, they have established a committee with which to take feedback. I mean, what more could they possibly do? I mean it's not like they can't just stop giving new releases stupid version numbers without forming up a committee.
I spent a very small amount of time playing around with hamlib for the GBA and that's how things were done on it. If you wanted to draw something on screen, there'd be a particular set of registers to write to, same for most other things that you might want to do. All in all it was a pretty nice set up.
Previously people didn't count on it being there. It's sort of like how different things changed when pagers were introduced. Suddenly the hospital could get in touch with a doctor even if they weren't in the office or at home.
If the infrastructure wasn't there that would be a completely different matter. The bus tunnel here doesn't have any capacity for wireless service.
But, I can imagine BART getting sued if a doctor that normally gets service in the tunnels can't be contacted at a vital time or if somebody needs to be able to call 911 and isn't able to due to the unusual measure. Things change when people expect to be able to count on getting a signal.
That would be a tremendous step backwards. You can get away with doing that if you're programming for a console, in fact that's how it used to be done. The problem is that as soon as you've got any variation at all in the hardware you very quickly start to have to code for every individual unit that you're going to support.
Need multiple resolutions? Well, you're going to have to make sure you code for them rather than handing them off to a 3rd party library. Unit have extra RAM? Well, you're going to have to adjust the code to deal with that as well.
Sure, it is much faster to run code like that, but it's also not portable really at all and you don't get any of the benefits that come from using a library.
That was my thought, it works differently under Linux than under BSD, but the functionality is there.
I tend to get annoyed by Logitech and the other idiots that remove those "superfluous" keys as they're not always superfluous. It annoys me that my Thinkpad lacks a pause button, the same one that's win + pause to open up that menu.
Same goes for Seattle. Jet City just about shut down during the 70s when Boeing was doing massive layoffs because we were that dependent upon that one industry. Since then we've diversified greatly, but we still get a substantial income from only a couple industries and we'll be in a world of hurt in the longshoreman decide to get greedy again. The last time that happened a lot of shipping moved down to Tacoma.

Projects like this are frequently as interesting, if not more so, for the byproducts that have to be developed in order to make it work.

Phones also need to get a lot better at switching between the various types of connections.
Correct, so at most the pilot would have to deal with the co-pilot or the other way around.
However, the air marshal may have some way of breaking down the door.
Why would you assume that? Doctors typically don't need to show up immediately, they just need to be available to respond.
Doctors that have to be on premises that quickly typically aren't allowed to leave the grounds.
Well, they have established a committee with which to take feedback. I mean, what more could they possibly do? I mean it's not like they can't just stop giving new releases stupid version numbers without forming up a committee.
