What has me confused is how these automated take downs, without automated appeals, don't constitute fraud. I can't go down to the local county courthouse, spamming it with grossly erroneous and frivolous claims…
Midwesterners consider those vegetables. Not kidding. Ask for a "vegetarian option" and they might hand you chicken.
I suspect it depends on the rationality of the parent you're speaking to. As a parent, that wording sounds fine to me.
Ditto. Also, from previous managers they may have learned that criticism, even constructive criticism, is a great way to bag a negative performance review. Such effects need to be accounted for.
Yeah, the publishers are mourning the loss of "hardcover edition" in the ebook format. That's where they make their mint. I'm hoping that they will try (and catch on) a ebook+hardcover release model. After all, people…
The paperback managed to put the hyphen in the right place. At least it's making an effort. When was the last time you saw paperback had an out of place hyphen just because that's where the hardcover placed it?
This is especially true when "iSomething" is free. A lot of folks will want to 'buy in' to the software, out of guilt or gratitude, so will pay for "iSomething+" even if the delta is trivial.
Yes, it is.
Clever and confusing are not necessarily mutual exclusive.
"using the current version and the updates provided by Microsoft" If you have a current, up to date version of IE, it's not version 6. We've been trolled by what is clearly some sort of prank.
This! We started baby sign and could communicate these basics with our daughter before she was a year old. It might not sound like much to start communicating 6 months earlier, but I can only describe it thusly: awesome.
> context menu that's difficult to access with the keyboard Hmm, I guess you're right. Without the dedicated context menu key, you have to use SHIFT+F10. That's a pain.
Pardon, I don't know Clojure inside and out: are namespace significantly better than packages for the purpose of macro hygiene?
My personal favorite is the "at least one capital". I've taken mnemonics with a large subset of the asciibet, but I can't memorize case well. So what happens? Every password begins with one capital. "Ehsiwvky" instead…
Taken to the extreme, one could claim "unlimited" service permitting one http connection a day -- open a second connection, and zero bytes go through until midnight. You'd say "that's absurd; it's not high speed…
And by running the story, the rightful owner might become aware of the situation and take action.
I think that's what Sidnic meant by templating -- that you have precisely one well tested encoding step in the system, near the end. This reduces the number of failure modes you need to test for. In a previous project,…
Suppose then I run a lottery, drawing 5 decimal digits. We have a special deal though -- if all 5 digits match, we draw again, up to 3 more times, and award a unique prize to the ticket holder for each result. We always…
Human designed devices _also_ function in this regard throughout their assembly. Varying the definition of "function" for only one side would make the argument spurious.
It really depends on your motives. If you will be needing to port to new platforms in the future, it's better to have a hard-and-fast crash now, so you can learn and avoid the undefined behavior now, rather than face a…
Could be worse. Last year when I tried ZumoDrive (a similar service), I noticed it marks the web-browser login cookies as safe for HTTP, and defaults to open session pages via HTTP. All it takes it checking your…
... Isn't that exactly what the New York Times does with its required sign-on? You get prompted to sign in unless the referrer URL is google.
Apologies for going off topic, but I just read the articles on debunking the MMR <-> autism link. I misread your open paragraph to be: "It's important to note that (as far as I can tell) the author doesn't…
