If you have programmed a system to act on behalf of a person, you have the responsibility to ensure that the system is able to do its job. The fact that it is automated cannot be a valid excuse, as the only reason you issue the take-down (or the system issues it for you) is that your system has claimed it true. Ignorance/stupidity/incompetence is, as most judges will explain, no excuse....this needs to be brought before a judge.
It doesn't - particularly annoying when using a laptop + extra 23" monitor and the OS decides that the laptop-screen is the primary one. thankfully, it is easy enough to get around (swap screen assignment), but is a bit silly.
Think I might do this - company bought decent-looking, non-elevating desks (looks more important comfort apparently), and I have a spine injury that prevents me from sitting down 8+ hours per day. It being ugly (the plastic shelves) might get them to understand they went for a wrong solution.
Airline Catering add extra salt and spices to meals to avoid people complaining about them being too bland. When flying in high altitudes, apparently sense of taste and smell is impaired.
Could be similar issue in 0-grav and certainly is if cabine-pressure is kept low.
They better not - a regular Valve/Steam console I can ignore*, just like the Ouya-or-whatever console, but if proper Steampunkified, I might have a hard time not buying one...
*:My HDMI matrix only has 4 inputs - no room to plug in more consoles and stuff
Is more what I suspect someone fresh out of school to say.
I've worked a bit with COM, and currently engaged in a system where COM and DCOM are some of the means of communicating with production equipment. Actually looks like we have to recommend customers to stays on Win2003 server, because of a lot of systems using COM and DCOM have issues currently. Rather irritating, but workarounds (around DCOM mostly) are being identified soon I expect:)
It does make me wonder if people who got banned this way who bought the game using a credit card can file a chargeback against ArenaNet and successfully win it.
Plausibly, if their credit-card rules allow for refund on broken objects - one of mine has a clause to that effect, and could be interesting to request a charge-back on a buggy online game...
basically, you need to identify a related species, which can interbreed with your newly-recreated-specie and produce viable offspring. This would introduce sufficient genetic variance to ensure at least short-term viability. But yes, you should use multiple DNA samples, preferably across a significant area, to get a healthy population.
No VW Lupo, or Smart 4Two? Minis? I think Chrysler got some designs from Fiat relating to the Fiat Panda/500 base-model, but no idea if they pursue it for sale in the US.
(I'm European, and will admit some surprise at the size of vehicles for sale at dealerships in the US)
So, someone should run solely on the notion of being a protest against the two others? Basically, "Vote for me, to show you don't agree with, or can choose between, the Dems and Reps" ?
Then simply campaign to get as many non-voters to the booths as possible, and you might stand a chance:)
I expect that the 18 GBP is without taxes and airport-fees and luggage-fees and booking-fees and online-fees - I see this regularly from some companies such as Ryan Air, and this behaviour is part of why we're not even able to book them through official channels: We don't get the real price until it is too late, and then it quickly becomes as expensive as the regular companies....and I always remind my boss that time wasted in a queue in security is costing him money - I count it towards my 38 hours/week, and he cannot bill it to the customer as a service.
wouldn't "out of oil" or "out of lubrication" be more correct? you cannot add oxygen to a defunct brain in order to repair it, just as adding fuel to an engine that has seized wont (likely) make it run.
(Disclaimer: I've not seen the presentation you reference, or the debates you mention defending it) I fully agree it is a stupid expression, and if I understood the responses correctly, it is used to indicate that some action should be done in a manner others might be envious of, or want to watch. It would in other groupings perhaps be replaced with references to star athletes, or famous scientist, as some inspirational target? It should of cause not be taken literal, and I think Gnasher719 below is also right in it doesn't fit coding.
I still don't understand it being sexist in itself; pictures of scantily clad women are sexist (they attack/denigrate a gender), but the expression cannot be sexist given that "porn star" in no way refer to a gender. This might be cultural, with some cultures considering "porn stars" and "porn star-level of activities" as specific to a gender, or involving being sexist to a gender, but overall I think both sexes are quite represented in that particular industry, at most-if-not-all levels.
So, sorry - still not seeing, although I appreciate the added background into it.

Purely guessing: 1) Attach-rate for non-free apps is higher on iOS? (saw that online somewhere) 2) iOS is still seen as Teh Smart Phone to develop for, by companies/managements doing insufficient research? (Still see lots of marketing apps only/initially released for iOS, and companies doing iOS support in their software before anything) 3) Android has stronger selection of advertising tools/providers, leaving your company out in the cold?
Again, purely guesswork.
As for your link... 4) Perhaps iOS users surf/browse more? 5) Perhaps NetMarketShare's stats are geographically bound to a location with higher iOS uptake, or has other selection-bias? (Android sells more outside the US) 6) Perhaps the stats in that link are not for new devices, but total number? (Samsung is supposedly outselling Apple in Q2-12, but not before, meaning total marketshare still belongs to Apple)
Good for you - I have had to update firmware on harddrives, because there weren't linux-compatible (go figure). This involved booting to DOS (?!?) and running a program that ultimately failed to do anything.
Merely trying to figure out how to boot to DOS (Discover FreeDOS, figure out creating a working and booting memstick) was an exercise in stupidity, to say nothing of the idiocy of having harddrives that are not linux-compatible.

Isn't there provisions in the DMCA, that if you file knowingly false takedown notices you go on trial for perjury or similar?
So, if the content is not for the issuer to take down, I should think anyone attached to it can file a complaint.
She may also have grounds for unrightful termination of contract, so there should be at least 2 venues for responding to the takedown.

Skeleton crews on the launch-vehicles, shuttles, spacestations - that would work, since they weigh less and store easily for transport!
what?
Listen to some music, look up at babes around you, afterwards go to sauna with said babes ... Swimming is kinda nice.

So Apple can now drag both the FBI and Anonymous to court over copyright infringement? Nice ...
1 million UIDs, value at [price of iPad or iPhone], should be pretty nice income for Apple's legal department.

Anyway, someone who can answer "What's the difference between COM and .NET?" probably has a pretty good idea how Windows is put together.
"COM is, like, old and shit and not used by Microsoft, and .NET is, ya know, really cool and stuff and runs on all computers"
No small cars available in Canada or Mexico?
No VW Lupo, or Smart 4Two? Minis?

Precisely:
Flight Brussels-UK, incl check-in time and security and whatnuts: 2.5-3 hours
Train Brussels-UK, incl everything: 2 hours
Difference: Train takes you from central Brussels (Zuid) to more-or-less central London (St Pancras).
Why anyone wants to fly between places connected by highspeed trains is beyond me, yet I see people doing it regularly.
[...] it has never even pretended to be a democracy.
Explains the repeated statement (e.g. on TV) of it being "the greatest democracy in the world"
note: Couldn't find any quotes of it on a quick google, just articles mentioning is as an oft-used statement by the US.

Sorry, this is probably just me, but what the heckington does "code like a porn star" mean, and how is it sexist?
