>> For future reference, 8 x 9 = 72. It should not take 3.04s to solve that next time.

I really disliked learning the multiplication tables. When faced with 8 * 9, my mind thinks 8 * 8 = 64 and adds 8 to it to get 72. :-/

Will you still have faith in your local police and see them as a part of your community after the conduct a triple anal probe on you or your children and hand you with the invoice for the procedure?

While I generally support unions, the police fraternity mindset is troubling. There are no good cops as long as the blue code of silence is the de facto mode of operation.

It looks like Google fails to correctly decipher Intel Isis (probably because it is still new). If you were searching Intel Isis, OP probably meant Intel Iris[0]. Intel Iris and Intel Iris Pro were introduced with Haswell processors.

> Intel Iris Graphics and Intel Iris Pro Graphics are new brands for Intel's high-end integrated graphics introduced with some variants of its Haswell processors. They utilize the same basic blocks as the HD series, but have a higher maximum frequency, and additional eDRAM cache for the "Pro" series.

jQuery v1.7.1 as far as I can tell

Start with git-svn bridge locally and convert interested teammates one at a time.

Just remember that until everyone is on board, you need strict discipline as SVN has a much small feature set the Git does. Thereby, you should read the git-svn documentation closely and not use any incompatible Git features. Good luck!

If I know of a criminal conspiracy and don't report it am I a criminal? It sounds unfair, doesn't it? I mean I didn't take part in the conspiracy or the crime...

Should we randomly go into people's homes and demand people to open up their houses and kick them out pending investigation? Clearly, we can do that now if they are 100 miles from the border if we can confiscate laptops and hold it then we can confiscate homes and cars and hold them for investigation as well.

I wonder if gp would call for people to be hanged, quartered, and drawn for treason.

it sounds as if AOL mail offered one year of increased storage when Google introduced Gmail.

Another commenter mentioned jitsi which is free. Then, there is Google Hangouts. Why does Skype think it can get away with charging money for Skype to Skype calls, even multiparty?

> Companies of course are exempt from vat, so other rules apply.

If a company buys a 1000 USD computer to sell it, then the ultimate buyer pays the VAT. However, what happens when a company buys a 1000 USD computer to replace a server rack? At what point does "consumption" happen?

But the community edition is available on a permissive Apache 2 license[1]. If I were Google, I'd only pay for IDEA community edition for the support contract (and to make sure JetBrains doesn't go out of business).

Within regulation, you can refuse goods and services to anyone. However, as far as I know, if someone owes you money they can always pay you in an equivalent amount of [local currency]. Isn't that the whole point of a legal tender?

If I lend someone 1 BTC, can I force the borrower to repay me in BTC? How would that even work if the borrower has already spent the BTC?

We don't want to see people who do things we don't like as people. We'd rather put a label on them and ship them away.

How does it make any sense for a woman who stops to pee near some bushes at night get on the list just because where she did it happened to be next to a closed park where there were no children at that time but there may have been kids during the day?

Nope, just put her on the sex offender's list and make sure she has to stay xx miles away from children.

> What we really need is to start a PAC to abolish software patents and have everyone contribute money to it

Can we really outspend IBM and Microsoft? I saw something on hacker news last week that said a relatively minor patent reform bill died in the house thanks to those two companies (and 3M and many others but mainly IBM and Microsoft). Name. and shame.

> Particularly considering he got people fired.

Perhaps we need to look at this from a different angle. Why can employers fire me for having a naked picture taken? Perhaps we need to roll back no-fault firing as well.

I think the comment was talking about changing social attitude more than anything else if I read it right. If we make it normal to have nude pictures on the Internet, then these sites will automatically lose steam.

you mean like typing prop and hitting tab?

I think it makes sense for publications that get a significant chunk of sales from magazine stands as they will appear "fresh" longer that way. Not sure what the breakdown of sales for Consumer Reports is like but I'd assume they're subscription heavy.

I am not trying to say you are wrong but some examples would be nice

I assume this means the market expects Amazon to make more money (a lot of money) in the future.

I'd imagine being a Microsoft alumni, regardless of the details of exit, means many hiring managers would at least take a look at your resume.

This comparison is outrageous. Speaking of things out of context, fewer than three thousand people died in 9/11[0].

One of the first things my driving instructor taught me is that you have to assert your right. A measly bicycle has as much right to be on the road as a Cadillac Escalade. At the risk of preaching to the choir, a bicycle should take up a full lane on the road unless there is a special bicycle lane.

I am not saying go crazy and ride your bicycles on freeways. This is more about city streets. That being said, I truly believe the way to have fewer cars striking cyclists is to have more cyclists assert themselves on the road.

> pedestrians alike just aren't looking

You mentioned you obey the law so you probably don't do this. Even if the law does not prohibit riding on the sidewalk, you should never ride on the sidewalk.

Just wanted to take this time to remind everyone that bicycles do not belong on the sidewalk.

Ground clearance on the Model S is 6 inches according to Tesla[0] which puts it at par with a Honda Civic Sedan.

I would like to imagine this is more for awareness. Why would exchange server want to include x-originating-ip? Is it for validation and authentication? Do we not trust people who have obviously have authenticated as people with the privilege to send emails from a certain server?

Do we need to include this information in our email headers? Is it not enough to include the IP address of the mail server? Perhaps there is a need to do this?

I was just listening to Douglas Crockford[0] in a podcast where he talks about CR/LF and how we can't decide on whether A is correct or B is correct so we do both A and B which fits neither A's position or B's position so we pick something so neither side feels like they lost. The argument is that this middle-ground is worse than either side of the proposition.

Perhaps I am wrong. However, it is still good to know why we include this information in our emails. Is it simply a case of "we have this information, why not just include it?" or is it something to check against transaction logs? Perhaps a "distributed" way to add audit records of who logged on to the mail server? There had to be some reason why they included it, right?

Sorry, I misread your post.

I think it is a notable reference. It is a statement by ms bezos after all

I don't know what the new Microsoft wants. What is it that they want to sell? This is important and you can't just say "everything to everyone".

Amazon.com has a focus on retail. They sell stuff and the Kindle (including Kindle Fire) line is just a medium to get it to the customer. If FedEx and others kicked the bucket tomorrow and Amazon felt UPS was too strong as a vendor, they'd probably start their own logistics department. If they felt Comcast was too dominant, they'd probably want to do something about that as well.

Google's focus is arguably its services (which it uses to push ads). Apple is stubbornly a devices (hardware) company.

However, it is unclear what Microsoft's angle is here. Do they want to make money selling software through OEMs? It doesn't seem like they want to push prices of hardware down. They make too much money off of enterprise software to cut that arm off. Online services does not make enough money to let it completely cannibalize the software licensing cash cow yet.

I am glad I don't run Microsoft. I would be lost.
