So these weren't in the cars? That's fucking pointless then, agreed.

In Australia they're in the patrol cars.

It depends on what you mean by "asp.net".

Over the last 3 years asp.net has evolved from "gui controls you compose on a page with TONS of overhead" to "a lightweight framework that looks a LOT like spring". What most people who have used asp.net in the last 10-12 years think of as asp.net is basically dead.

http://www.asp.net/web-api for example. Many people us this and knockoutjs for dotnet based web projects.

After version 2.99 would come 2.100.
After that 2.101.

After 2.999 comes 2.1000.

-Faster boot times
-Better SSD support
-less ram used by OS
-storage spaces if you have a bunch of disparate disks and want data redundancy

And you can boot to your desktop so you never see "metro" if you don't like it.

Your SharePoint site isn't in the trusted zone. Get your company's IT department to fix that with a simple Group Policy update.

It will have DisplayPort, as will any monitors of 4k resolution.

Nice FUD there. You picked the btrfs-progs, which are the userspace tools, not the actual btrfs filesystem driver.

Not all countries have hilariously huge beaurcracies of elected officials. In this case the article is about Australia.

Here we vote for senate and the house. The prime minister is chosen by the party which controlls the house. Cabinet positions such as treasurer and AG are chosen by the prime minister and confirmed by the governer general.

Local officials, controllers, and judges are apolitical positions and not voted on.

Propositions and measure are "yes/no", not a ranking of positions.

You can make your own (or print one from a party's website) "how to vote" card before you go to the poll, and then fill in your ballot to match. Or you can decide when you get there.

It takes under 5 minutes to vote for everything in total, not 5 minutes per vote.

If you don't care where your vote winds up vote above the line.

If you do, vote below the line.

It only takes 5 minutes.

Damnit you're right. I got muddled by the brisbane times link.

Either way it's not NSW though!

Which of their policies do you disagree with?

My guess would be asylum seekers?

What does this have to do with Assange directly?He is only one of 7 wikileaks candidtates, and he is running in Queensland.

This story is about preferences in New South Wales. The wikileaks candidates in NSW are Kellie Tranter and Alison Broinowski.

Anyone who is actually voting for wikileaks will likely be well informed and voting below the line anyways.

For those not familiar with australian voting, we have preferential instant runoff first past the pole voting.

You can either vote "above the line," where you select ONE party, and that party decides how your preferences fall if they don't win a seat, or you can vote "below the line," where you number individual candidates "1, 2, 3.....".

Google CAN write their own youtube app. Today they can, and it would be on the MS app store within a few days.

Google has made a corporate decision to write 0 windows phone apps.

So people in third world countries should just save up for 15 years to buy a commercial lighting system?

This isn't about commercial use in wealthy areas, it's about giving light to the various areas in the world with "shack cities", where a few thousand people just shove up tin roofs and live in close proximity.

It is both novel and beneficial to those people.

Please think before you spew.
