The authenticator code is punched in after the L/P as part of launcher.exe or wow.exe (i forget which). If the game works, I don't see why that shouldn't.
You can get a mobile authenticator for most models of phones. I think the key requirement is that it needs to support java, but I might be wrong on that. There's a whole list on the mobile.blizzard.com site.
But what does this have to do with form -submission-.
Nothing, not electronically. The niche for PDF forms is when the end result is printed and delivered by hand/mail/courier/pigeon/et cetera.
To quote the GP: you are forgetting that well structured and styled html is just as effective as paper print. Besides you have doc files for printing forms, you can even use an open precessing software if you'd like.
This all started off on printing hard copies, not electronic submission.
My argument is HTML is not as effective as a PDF for printing. (Heavily tested HTML, maybe, but in the time it takes to make it, you could have a form based PDF in a fraction of the time.)
Furthermore, it's an odds on favorite that a user will have a pdf viewer handy. Even if you have javascript off you can still print out the form blank and write in the details.
So, in a perfect world, PDF forms are limited solely to occassions when a hard copy is required by the receiving party.
You don't submit the PDF form electronically, you just fill it out and print it out.
GP was saying there was no online way to submit their data. I was figuring if they could accept PDF forms electronically, they could make and accept HTML ones without much extra effort.
Except HTML is dependent on margin size, available fonts, interpretation by the browser, too many tiny variables that could cause problems. Most code monkeys can't even check if their stuff works in the browser they use. Binary files like doc can be interpreted wrong if opened in a different program or even version of the same program.
The one thing PDF does well, extremely well, is keep the document the same across platforms. (Better than other options at least.) Use the right tool for the right job: if you need a form to look the same regardless of where it ends up, your best bet is a PDF.
He's referring to submitting a form by hand or by snail mail, not electronically.
If you're going to the DMV, you're giving them a piece of paper. That is where PDF forms excel. You get the benefits of PDF (exact document reproduction) with the additional benefit of legible typed in data.
I recently had to fill out a bunch of forms, and there was no way to do it online. For these cases, it's a godsend to be able to type right into the PDF, save it, and print it out.
That's the kicker. You're not submitting a PDF form, you're printing it out and making it simply a legible paper form.
If they have the infrastructure to accept PDF-submitted forms, they have the infrastructure to make and accept HTML-submitted forms.
I had to deal with a PDF form recently, from the DMV. Basically you filled it out and then printed it out.
That's the only reason I could see for using a PDF form. (I'd rather type in than write in details...it'd take thrice as long to write legibly than it would to type it and print it.)
Well, I've never looked into VOIP plans. I do know they're power heavy on the customer side. I'd also expect telcos to keep their costs low and not bother requiring their marks^Wcustomers to get UPS boxes.
Now, if the law requires the customer to have a UPS on their side, this is the first I've ever run across that and if so will amend my opinion as such. I do have the ability to change it, which is also why I like to post here. I can learn stuff that I've never even thought to look for on my own.
This still makes me concerned that this puts too much work on the side of the customer. It'd take a long public campaign to educate them that, no, you can no longer "just pick up the phone during an outage" you need backup power for it and people still get fooled by a hydrogen monoxide scare. But it's a start.
Are those going to be bundled with VOIP packages if POTS goes away? I doubt it.
Just because you and I know what a UPS is doesn't mean the normal person off the street knows about this stuff. They were raised with a phone line they could pick up and still use if the house goes out.
Cell phones aleviate this somewhat but towers can go out too.
Does your internet and VOIP work when the power goes out?
Pick up that POTS phone...hey look, still working. (Assuming the exchange hasn't been taken out, but if that's the case there's likely bigger problems than a local outage.)

You don't own the servers the game runs on, and the client's pretty much useless without them.

Costs a buck unless you have an iphone.
The X-ray scanner allows for carryons of much larger dimensions than the template boxes allow for.
If they go plaid, the universe will have to pull its emergency break.
The next ones they find will probably have to be pushing violet.
There's an Ultraviolet joke in here somewhere...

and your carry-on baggage should be of the approved size and shape to fit through, um, TSA-standard luggage receiving orifices.
I'll believe that when I see it.
So...you're agreeing with me? Heh.

The one case I can see for using a PDF form is to have a hard copy print out with the fields filled properly. I've used one for the DMV like that.
Anything you're submitting electronically, no.

RADARSAT is a commercial service.
(SRTM) data is freely available to anyone.
I know which set I'll be using if I want to play around with this data.
Doh, just saw phoenix...reading fail.
Pathfinder + Sojurner? Phoenix?
Of course, if at&t wants POTS gone...he's SOL.
Yeah, I'm pissed off that the Dickens estate isn't getting royalties to works based off A Christmas Carol.

If only I could find bare drivers for a photosmart 2710...
They're only known for making crappy voting machines on this site.
If some news outlet actually did a hard hitting expose on them, maybe, MAYBE, they'd fall from grace.

It wasn't a red light, it was (allegedly) a green arrow diffused by snow to appear a solid green.
So yes, the color came through perfectly, but not the shape.
