You're talking about cue dots which are actually used more by the commercial providers (ITV and Channel 4), and now generally only for live programmes (i.e. with unpredictable ad break times) with regional opt-outs (i.e. where a bunch of different people need to know about the ad break starting).
I prefer to think of it as a way of reducing redundancy.
The web page doesn't care whether it's being served over HTTP or HTTPS, that's only an issue for the web server. So, the web server configuration can have all the rules and redirections to enforce a particular policy, and the web page will work any time that gets updated, without having to have every link in every page rewritten.
Do you also verify where every debit card reader is physically connected, and audit that none of the electronics are malicious and skimming your data? link
Uh, because it's a linear listing - which means that one has to appear first, and the other afterwards? Do you think that all results should be displayed side-by-side?
Or, if you accept that search results have to appear in *some* order, how do you expect Google to know that you're planning a trip and not writing a school paper? Should Google be able to work out where you live, find the nearest schools, look up the History lesson plans and see that you've got a Chinese politics essay to hand in; or alternatively should it work out the median wage where you live and determine how likely it is that you'll be travelling to China?
Or, should it just wait for you to add *one extra word* to the search to clarify what you want, and decide for itself what most people are looking for if you're not that specific?
A music CD is as useful to you as a blank CD-R? Then I assume you buy and listen to a lot of blank CDs? If not, it would seem you attribute some kind of value to the music content.
Sure, but the question isn't "Why do you want to *work*?", it's "Why do you want to work *here*?"
The answer isn't designed to find out whether you need money at the moment, but why that particular position is the one you're after. Now in most cases that just changes your answer from "Because I need a paycheck" to "Because you guys were the first people who offered me an interview", and that's fine.
But if you're an interviewer and you have to choose between two people, one who answers "Because you're the only people who'll talk to me" and one who answers "Because your output seems interesting and your public image seems like somewhere I'd fit in" - who do you think would be more likely to be productive?
You do realise that the patent is for a *method* of switching to apps during a phone call, not the *concept* of switching to apps during a phone call? Since the iPhone doesn't have a Ctrl or a Backspace key, that's probably not the method they're patenting
No, the first claim of the patent is for a gesture dragging a graphic along a "predefined, displayed path". So if the unlock gesture isn't a fixed path (like the Samsung S2, which can unlock in any direction; or the path isn't displayed, like a puzzle piece which moves along a fixed path to its destination but that path isn't visible, then it's not covered by the patent.
That must suck if your contract doesn't give you any inclusive calls, texts or data, and all of the money you pay actually goes as subsidy for the handset
> I feel like all the training I did to be able to code games in a PC is going to be obsolete before I know it.
Oh, there it is!
But really, it's not that mobile computing is "the way to go", just that desktop computing is no longer "the only way to go".
People who've been closed-mindedly programming their Windows apps for years are scared that they now have to think in different terms, be those architectural terms like "do I need to think about 64-bit processors" or "do I need to think about being mobile ready" or social terms like "do I need to think about cloud computing".

There's even a London in Canada which has a River Thames running through it!
NASA satellites use a collection of pictures from multiple flybys stitched together.
The [Russian] satellite [...] took an image [...] capturing the Earth in a single shot with 121-megapixels.

Ok cool, so you've unchecked the "Automatically install updates" option and everyone's happy again?
Do you also verify where every debit card reader is physically connected, and audit that none of the electronics are malicious and skimming your data? link
Ok then, they're about as similar as a Hamster and a Ham
They're about as similar as a Car and a Carpet
I think you should double check Google's terms and conditions for automated access

- would cost a lot of money to build
- has no way of reconciling that cost
Every word was accurate? So you actually *do* love handing your information over?
The paper from two years ago mentions the problem in relation to
and not in relation to O2. Had they been involved 2 years ago, I would have expected them to be named in that original paper.

Except, Adobe AIR is a viable way of packaging an Flash app for deployment via the Apple App Store
Yes it would, but the patent specifies a "predefined [displayed] path", not "to a predefined location"

In fact, Cookie Monster already refuted the claims that he's giving up cookies in this exclusive interview from 2006

No?
