Even as a programmer. It's the only tablet that supports SD cards and dropping to a bringing up a command prompt (cmd/powershell) out of the box.
Oddly enough, even as a programmer, that's why I'm enjoying my iPad. Probably due to the fact that it can't bring up a command prompt, to this date I haven't needed to. The browser works fine, and there are plenty of apps too.
No, you did commit a crime (unless there's a statute specifically allowing certain activities in emergency situations, which there may be). You just won't likely be charged with one. The former is a matter of fact, the second is a matter of judgement.
Estimating wrong how many calories you're consuming & how many you're burning is why the first phase includes keeping track of it--it helps you make good estimates and gives both you and the doctor useful information.
Yup. Also, one thing that I realized when I was losing weight through tracking calories (in and out) was that it didn't really matter if my estimates for intake and burn were off (although I tried to keep them as accurate as possible), so long as they were consistent. If I was weight-stable at a certain number of rjstanford-units of intake and output, then by increasing output while maintaining intake (or whatever) then I'd lose weight. Accuracy vs. precision and all that. Worked pretty well, too (dropped 80 lbs about a decade ago and went from sedentary to IMs).
And yet nobody did; everyone tried "security through obscurity" and buried it in a deep connector.
Many if not most inventions are obvious after you've seen them.
Voltage has nothing to do with it. Amperage, now, that's what'll kill you (or just barely tickle you, depending).
I watched an interesting documentary ~10 years ago (that I've been annoyingly unable to track down) that took a surprisingly large number of obese people who had been unable to loose weight and put them up in a "spa" for 6 weeks eating a calorie restricted diet that exactly matched whatever number of calories that they said they were eating. Not surprisingly, they all lost weight.
Estimating calories is tricky.
Personally, I've lost ~80 lbs the same way and kept it off for a decade - move a bit more, eat a bit less. Its boring, it takes time, and it works.
Except for many, weight gain is not about bad habits. As much as the internet likes to have this "energy in needs to be less than energy out" story repeated at all corners, there's tons of reasons why it's not actually that simple. It's been found that overweight people commonly have a large variety of reasons why it doesn't work like that:
All of those deal with the "energy out" portion of the equation. Nobody's claiming that everyone has the same basic energy consumption, or even that its "fair" - but nobody gets to violate the laws of thermodynamics either. If your body is more efficient at getting calories from the food that you eat, you can eat less poundage for the same energy.
It is simple. Its not easy, but it is simple.
Okay, time to check other things, because it's clearly not you taking in more calories than you use, so it's actually not a disease but a symptom
Thermodynamics being what it is, it certainly is that. What's not obvious are that you may be mis-estimating how many calories you're taking in, or making incorrect assumptions about how many calories you're burning. There are various conditions that can affect the latter, although all that really means is that (a) you should see a doctor about them and (b) you should adjust your intake accordingly until they're corrected.
There are tons of excuses but that's all most of them are - excuses. I was overweight for much of my adult life until dropping 80+ pounds and used to say all the same things.
Or the obvious solution to both your replies...
On demand bug fixes paid as needed. That satisfies it for both MS and the customer. But MS is unwilling to do even that.
And how much would you pay for a bug fix as an individual? Development, QA, testing, build, certification, delivery all at a (low-end) burdened rate of $150 an hour would add up pretty damn fast.
Personally, I'm often without Internet. That's both at home, and when traveling (e.g. in airports...
Considering that the thread was about caching porn for times with no internet access, I (and probably many although not all other travelers) would ask you nicely to just wait until you left the airport to start "consuming" again. Just a request, mind you.
US$1.05 seems to be the going rate.
What's wrong with being honest? I'm totally happy to credit Xerox with a ton of creative success (although, like TI, they couldn't market their way out of a wet paper bag). "The outsider takes it and [runs] with it" implies that the idea was stolen, which just isn't true.
Add opinions where you will, but significantly distorting key facts (from whichever side) is what I dislike.
"Removing the idea from the codec" doesn't actually work unless you're happy breaking every saved file out there whenever there's a potential legal hiccup. Not sure that'd go over real well.
I've seen it more often that that, but even granted - a once a week IT guy's time still adds up...
Eh, my company spent more money on macs - but most places with ~35 employees have at least one "IT staff" guy and we never bothered with one - the savings more than made up for the "idiot tax." Besides, if you're even a few minutes more productive per week not dealing with an OS issue the nicer laptop pays for itself, and if the employees get a better experience that helps retention... there's a lot more to a good decision than just the number at the bottom of the credit card receipt.
Real Programmers don't eat quiche. They eat Twinkies and Szechwan food.
