Any manager that buys Linksys branded hardware because "it's made by Cisco" should be fired or demoted, at least given a single stern warning if you're feeling generous.
'What are you doing here?' he said to the drunkard whom he found sitting silently in front of a collection of bottles, some empty and some full. 'I am drinking,' answered the drunkard lugubriously. 'Why are you drinking?' the little prince asked. 'In order to forget,' replied the drunkard. 'To forget what?' enquired the little prince, who was already feeling sorry for him. 'To forget that I am ashamed,' the drunkard confesed, hanging his head. 'Ashamed of what?' asked the little prince who wanted to help him. 'Ashamed of drinking!' concluded the drunkard, withdrawing into total silence. And the little prince went away, puzzled. 'Grown-ups really are very, very odd,' he said to himself as he continued his journey.
I wholeheartedly agree except for private businesses like Hulu refusing to serve you. It's their bandwidth and their infrastructure. Freedom of speech doesn't force private entities to provide the means for such communication, much less when one of the parties licensed entertainment programmes destined to certained audiences.

"It landed on her shoulder," Finkelstein said, "and it says 'SSN' and it's written like a Social Security number, and we're like, 'That's really bizarre.'"

First they changed from selling to "licensing", to further control what you can do with their precious content in the name of "stopping piracy" (as if copyright didn't cover that). Now they want you to pay per head, and check your living room to milk you further if you play wise and bring a few friends over: "This motion picture is licensed for up to 4 viewers.Playback will resume when you upgrade. (or tell two of your freeloading friends to go do something else)".
Also:
a separate Microsoft patent application last year described a system for using sensors to estimate age based on the proportions of their body.
What about achondroplastic dwarves? People under a blanket? Odd postures? Will you have to sit up straight in plain view for Kinect to validate you?
p>First, the UK website has had this responsive layout for weeks. Also, most other country-specific landing pages of Apple use the same layout (for example German, Austrian websites). With the notable exception being the US site.
Umm, they put the notice *just outside* the fitted area. That says a lot.
It usually refers to the coincidence between what the coordinates reported by the digitizer (touchscreen) as the center of the contact area, and the display coordinates underneath it:
“He played around with the field a little and realized that in order to vote for Romney, his finger had to be exactly on the mark,”
Still, the piece is biased starting with the title ("MORE ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES CHANGING ROMNEY VOTES TO OBAMA"), and the issue could be down to the active rectangle being different from what's displayed:
Nancy wrote in an email. She said “the invisible Obama field came down about 1/4 [of an inch]” into what should technically have been the Romney area. In a phone interview with TheBlaze, she explained further that her husband said he felt the area on the touchscreen that could be pushed to vote for Obama was larger than that for Romney.
The Kihansi Spray Toad went extinct in the wild in 2005 when its habitat in Tanzania was destroyed by a dam.
Extinct in the Wild (EW) is a conservation status assigned to species or lower taxa, the only known living members of which are being kept in captivity or as a naturalized population outside its historic range.
There are "app" languages like Java/Ruby/PHP that will get you in that situation, and there are languages mostly regarded as tools for automation (Perl/$SHELL/Tcl?). So, there are two ways around it: * stick to scripting (it'll make your everyday life easier) and refrain from learning these "dangerous" languages, or * learn them (you'll gain additional insight on common programming pitfalls, making you a faster troubleshooter) and DON'T TELL YOUR BOSS.
Update: WikiLeaks has confirmed that the pop-up is intentional, but pointed out via Twitter that visitors can skirt the paywall by sharing a link to the donation pop-up instead of paying, or simply waiting several minutes, as I found.
Of course, this is anathema to the "I want it for FREE and I want it NOW" crowd. My guess is that anyone with the patience to actually read through the Stratfor reports doesn't mind waiting several minutes.
In GSM, two fixed time slots, one in an uplink frequency and one for downlink, are assigned to your phone as a part of call setup. In [W]CDMA, your phone requests a 'channel' out of a code space limited by the noise floor. There may also be fixed time slots in the trunks leading to the switch and out to your Granny's side. In both systems this resource won't be released until you hang up so effectively it's circuit switching. VoIP would be a lot more flexible, but you when the resource is momentarily congested you'll curse that flexibility.
How so? I can't find a single reference to Dice (it's a tech jobs site, right?) in TFA, and they're not selling anything. There's an overview, and they link the source+binaries for you to try (at your own risk).
Standard Headlinese (don't look at me that way - click the link). Awkward, but in no way a/. schtick. I assumed that every regular reader of news in English is used to decoding it without even thinking about it.
In this case, they saved exactly four characters compared to "Shuttle Endeavour will embark to a Los Angeles Museum", eight if you wanted an article too.

apple.com/uk vs apple.com on a 1600-px high screen. I had to hit F11 *after* loading apple.com/uk to include the notice in the screen capture.
Pretty sleazy.

Ooh, I got one!
Can any headline which ends in a question mark be answered by the word "no"?

Physics *relies* on math, big time, but observation of the material world is nowhere in math's scope.

No, I'm pretty sure that assaulting ships at sea and robbery in general is still punishable, even if you don't charge for your services.

Oh yes, that's a dupe refried and served hot.
