Yes.
Whoever bailed the kid out did not pay $500,000 -- they paid either 10% or 15% (i.e., $50,000 or $75,000) to a bail bondsman as a non-refundable bond, and the bail bondsman then paid the $500,000 to the state. It's…
The unemployment benefits available in the US aren't comparable. The most significant difference is that in the US unemployment benefits are generally limited to a maximum of 26 weeks, while in Australia you can collect…
Aside from the catchy title and the mention of recent planet-finding successes, this article doesn't say anything that hasn't been said by literally hundreds of other people. (And actually, I'd be amazed if this author…
In addition to the above methods, you can copy the base folder and paste it into the same folder as reader_archive.py -- that's what I did and it worked fine.
In point of fact, my grandma drives a Mercedes coupe. So the answer to your question is yes.
I looked through a bit of your comment history. You are a freak of nature. You easily rank somewhere in the top 1/10,000th of teenagers, probably in the top 1/10,000th of all people of any age. Your abilities are not…
>"Imagine ... The iPhone, when connected to the computer, can be accessed like any other filesystem. You move files in and out of a folder called iPhone/Music." This is exactly how Android works. I plug my Galaxy into…
The book's ridiculous claim is that you commit three felonies per day? So to rephrase your question, you should have asked "how many times per day do you travel back in time to commit statutory rape?" Your examples…
I read that book when it came out. The title is sensationalist garbage -- the book shows how some people get snared by some fairly stupid federal laws and have their lives messed up by willfully malicious prosecution,…
PCIe SSDs are available from a number of vendors. Fusion-IO is probably the most well-known.
Apple's app store review "process" is complete bullshit, but this kind of weather app already exists for iOS and Android, and has for a couple years or more. I've installed probably 4 or 5 of them between the two…
Those statements are probably true. The NSA has probably subcontracted the operation out to a private corporation. So Facebook, Google, et al, don't deal directly with the government, they deal with the private company.
Applied Semantics had nothing to do with the creation of AdWords. AdWords was created in-house by Google years before they acquired Applied Semantics. It was an extremely successful and lucrative operation long before…
I am thoroughly familiar with Nelson. I've read probably a majority of everything he's ever written. He's a smart man and a visionary. As I stated. Doesn't change the fact that he hasn't been very successful at turning…
TL;DR: Grumpy, bitter man is grumpy and bitter. I suppose Nelson deserves some credit for being a visionary, but there are two definitions for visionary in the dictionary: (1) A person with unusual powers of foresight;…
Google Groups is used by such a tiny number of people, and has such a poverty of functionality, that I'm fairly certain it has no measurable effect in suppressing innovation in this area. Whatever reasons there might be…
I found this helpful in understanding how to use directives: http://thesmithfam.org/blog/2012/12/17/communicating-between...
Yes, so did I, especially given that the author of SQLite said he was working on a new database with exactly this name, UnQLite. This UnQLite developer is a first-class tool.
Actually, Hipp has said publicly that he intended to created a new embedded database called UnQLite. It seems this developer just blatantly ripped off the exact name Hipp was planning to use. He also ripped off some of…
I suggest C++ Primer Plus, by Stephen Prata. It's well-written, clear, and comprehensive. I don't know of any good C++ books specifically for Python programmers, but I've read/skimmed many C++ books and Prata's is…
IMO, you can't really talk credibly about having "Fanatical Support for Developers" if you don't support at least one compiled systems-development language, i.e., C++ or Go. But I'm sure I'm in the minority. (I vote for…
