As I said before, all I was looking for was a simple 20-second description to show that the interviewee had some idea of how to program in C++, what OO is, etc. Not, "I don't know". Something along the lines of, "uh... it's a thing that has functions and data, which can be private or public so other classes can see them,
So if you're such an expert with "template magic", could you say what a template is in 20 seconds? Or would you just say "I don't know"?
And Amazon also did the right thing by not going taking the typical non-acknowledgment position and instead admitting -- quite publicly -- that they screwed up big. I still have some problems with how Amazon does particular things (read: Kindle DRM), but it's refreshing to see a company fess up in no unequivocal terms when they do something that upsets their customers.
Ironically, the only kindle owner I know is a 68 yo woman who has no love for technology. She got it as a gift and really loves it. If amazon is winning over technophobes like this then its really just a matter of time until they come around as they realize the convenience. Right near its early adopters only, but its getting there.
Unfortunately she doesn't understand that when Amazon goes out of business her "books" will no longer be accessible. When Penguin, or Bantam Spectra, or Addison Wesley, or O'Reilly go out of business the paper books I have will still be accessible. I have books from I read over 30 years ago and they are still readable. Will the current e-books still be readable 30 years from now? (Oh, and those books of mine will still be accessible in another 30 years.)
Having said that, I was trying to provide a service to potential fans of my favorite series of all time. Sorry to upset you.
To be fair, TFA (Nature) wasn't much better. It never actually broaches the topic of molecular vs. particle monopoles which is kind of central to anyone not in the know understanding that this isn't the big deal everyone's been talking about for the last decade+
Rule 1: Never use 1and1 or as it's know in germanny 1und1. They are the shittiest company ever.

In this order, the series consists of three cycles. Cycle one (ending with Many Happy Returns) focuses on #6 trying to escape. Cycle two (ending with Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling) focuses on 'intrigue in The Village' as #6 adjusts to his captivity. The final cycle consists of #6 taking charge and subverting The Village from within. Continuity is also improved in this sequencing.
And yes, #6 does have a name: Carl (his fiancee would know his name, after all).
A while back, I recorded 2001 on my TiVo.
The fast-forward button actually turned the movie into a tolerable experience (and I'm willing to tolerate quite a lot when it comes to film -- however, after the first 20-minute sequence of no action in complete silence, I was quite comfortable with the fact that space is big, empty, and quiet. There was absolutely no need for Kubrick to do the same thing 5 more times)
Don't get me wrong. It's a great film, but it could have been just as great of a film at half the length. Kubrick is one of the most "brutal" directors I know of (although David Lynch certainly ranks up there with him)
Kind of like female Night Elves...just real life.
To me, this seems to imply that pretending to be stunned stupid would be a good ploy for a male.
Goodness knows he wouldn't want to seem too witty from the start, and make her think he considers her ugly.
It's probably because I come from a blue collar family and have always had that kind of job. But, most of the Harley owners that you see riding around aren't dentists or accountants. I doubt most of them could handle much of the Sturgis crowd.
I agree with everything you've said regarding how the phone associates with a single tower at a time and such.
However, I was under the impression that the "cells" were only cells when they didn't overlap.
I can't speak for every city, but this one's "towers" aren't so much towers anymore. Most of them are little gadgets on the side of a building, or in the parking lot underground, or scattered everywhere. They don't just kind of overlap, they mesh, allowing a phone to pick the strongest/nearest/best/available one.
But hey, maybe I'm just harping on the four letter word.
In any event, doesn't it bother you to name things based on tehir particular implimentation instead of their function? It bothers me.
When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle. - Edmund Burke
