I don't understand, why having Commision that isn't elected makes EU members more suvereign? What would change for worse, if Commision was elected like Parliament?
The TCP stack takes care of this problem this is an insane attempt at POST mature optimization.
anthony, could you screenshot the 'busted in chrome' issue and send to us at info@geekli.st? Should be working smoothly! Whatever the reason, it was one of europes leading writers on tech who interviewed and did the article. i suppose if someone writes a positive article it's overt marketing. Thanks for being on geeklist and let us know if you find more bugs! cheers!
If you're going to switch, why wait? You can have more than one account at a time.

Open the new one, and start using it. When you have access to your old account, write yourself a check and deposit it in the new account.

It's that easy. You don't have to officially "close" the account and withdraw the cash.

Once your balance is zero in the old account, give them a call and confirm that you want it closed, but at least in the US banks will auto close zero balance accounts after a little while.
Something so broken it wedges may be the kind of time its time to just use a TCP socket.
There is a middle ground with decriminalization.

The early intel macs were "x86". The current line up is x86_64. Depending on who you ask in the industry this is called AMD64, Intel64, EM64T, IA-32e. This is the 64 bit platform as developed by AMD, it's not to be confused with Intels IA-64 as sold in "Itanium" chips.
How Americans spend their days
For simple accounting, it wouldn't be slower. The issue is analytical code, e.g.:

int price = getPrice(symbol);
double signal = exp(...) * ((double)price);
if (signal > threshold) {
buy(symbol);
}

The point is to avoid converting from int to double every single time you need to do a calculation.

Well, the code to look at JS features must be written in JS itself (adding features to an array, sending them over JSON, redirecting to a new page, etc.). I'll pull out my Dev Console and fuck with it (set a breakpoint and change that part of the code), and make them think I'm using lynx instead of Safari.

So, I don't think you can ever really know what browser your users use.
The Parliament is not so impotent since the new codecision rules under the Lisbon Treaty and has been happy to flex its new-found muscles. Moreover, if the responses to my letter to my MEPs on this subject are at all indicative, most or all of the major political groups in Brussels are outright hostile to ACTA at this point.

I suspect De Gucht may have overestimated his influence here. He has also perhaps forgotten that his term of office is not so long and that the European Parliament could even hold up the appointment of the next Commission if it wanted to make a point about abuse of authority. (It did hold up the first Barroso commission in 2004, forcing a reshuffle of which commissioner was given which portfolio, so this is certainly not an idle threat for the Parliament to make, either.)
Carries messages across inproc, IPC, TCP, and multicast.

so when you are using actual sockets across the network, it uses TCP. So ZMQ should be able to detect disconnects rather easily.
Excuse me, I have an end zone victory dance to deliver.
I found this paper about drug policy change in Switzerland [1] very interesting.

The country was pushed toward evidence-based policies by a very large and visible drug scene, which had serious health consequences.

Some states started trying different approaches and fueled federal debates (The US system is similar to the swiss one). They did it even as far-right parties like SVP showed increased support, which caused almost schizophrenic results. For instance in 2008 "a resounding 68 percent of the population voted in favor of the new narcotics law based on four pillars, which included heroin-assisted therapy, while in the same referendum, only 33 percent endorsed decriminalization of cannabis"

Personally I think that this could be the perfect niche for Google+ as the Facebook for grown-ups and a career networking tool. Especially now they've started hooking up author attribution into search results.
I'd strongly recommend Nationwide. Their staff are always friendly and helpful, it's a building society and their online banking site shits all over Natwest's offering (I had a NW account up until a year or so ago).
I despise Natwest.

First problems with them at University, they gave away free 5 year railcards to all students who opened a student bank. No one I knew got one, you only got it if you went through a laborious complaint process. Once I realised I did not have my card after several months I complained, and they refused to issue me one because I waited too long even though it was their fault for not dispatching it in the first place like they promised.

Second problems was with their disgusting ethics when I fell upon hard times.

Third time was when I went travelling and they lied to me straight up about the fees I would be charged using my card abroad, which caused problems. (They did settle with me afterwards and give me some money back, but it was another laborious mission).

Throughout, general appalling service speckled with useless calls from customer service research departments asking me how long I had to queue for in my recent visit and other pointless questions. Flacid attempts at 'caring for customers'.

I'm at a stage now where I can move from them, and will do soon. I'm always happy to spend time telling people about my experiences with them and my recommendation to completely avoid them if possible.

I know banks are not exactly beacons of ethics and good business in society. My expectations for banks is low because of this yet Natwest consistently have managed to go to new depths.
Does anyone have any other recommendations for other interesting JS charting frameworks to evaluate? I'm using flot at the moment, I'm really keen to have a dig around in this now.

(My particular sunny day wish list is for live & historical scientific strip chart style data logging: flexible date support, intuitive horizontal timeline dragging & zooming, live updating, line charts with gaps in them, rendering largish datasets (especially in a drill-down style), and logarithmic axes - especially if you can mix them with linear axes.)
The article is basically an advertorial. It could have provided helpful information and quoted security researchers who don't stand to gain financially. Instead it assembles quotes from vested interests who imply that their product is necessary.

It is tremendously difficult to get a broad-but-shallow movement like the Pirate movement into political office in a first-past-the-post system like the U.S.'s. Since the U.S.'s democracy is so weak and unrepresentative, a political movement can have 3%, 5%, 10%, even 20% of the U.S. population on its side and still get zero seats in the legislature. It will be almost impossible for the Pirates to elect even one congressperson until they're polling over 20% nationally, which obviously is a huge huge hurdle to overcome.

The knowledge of how large that hurdle is reduces the incentive to participate.

It's a shame that a country which wants to think of itself as the world's foremost democracy is so undemocratic in its electoral structure.

I sent a test email to my new @facebook.com email address from both my regular email account and another test email account I own. Neither ended up in either my Facebook messages list or being redirected to my real email. I have no idea where the messages went. Nice one!

At least I've found out about it now and have been able to remove the address from my profile.

There's no reason to leap from the presence of an environmental factor to reliance on that factor for survival.

For instance, air is thick with nitrogen, something that most organisms need but are unable to extract from that air.

It's not really idea that a synchronous connection doesn't have notification of a connection failure, but this has been working fine for us for ages.
This is just sophistry now. The commissioner is playing the role he's supposed to play in the EU institutions, and I have seen no indication that he's done anything illegal or held the parliament in contempt.
This is interesting, will be following closely on how things pan out
These "facists" and "nazis" are there as a reaction to the EU. They're the only ones people can vote for to express a negative opinion on the EU. If the EU disappears, they'll have survive on their actual ideology instead, and then they'll disappear again.

And regarding the financials, the EEA and Schengen are perfectly fine. Norway, Switzerland etc don't have significantly higher barriers to trade.

Personally I'm pro-european state. But it's dangerous having one as anti-democratic as the current EU, and I don't believe it's possible to change the current one, it needs to be torn down and rebuilt.

Paint it green?

On a serious note: Heat the building with server heat, cool it using grey/waste water instead of air conditioning, add insulation and let outside air in at night, put plants all around, keep the lights off unless you're working in an area, etc. There's too many possible methods without knowing the setup and layout of your facility.

Hell, just start carpooling and that'll be greener already. Maybe see if the company will throw in for gas or tolls for any vehicle that shows up with 3 or more employees in it.
Don't forget about the European Council, the third power base in Europe, by far the strongest, and by far the least public. Could use some serious neutering too.

Of the three power bases, only the parliament is democratic, and it has almost no powers. I agree. The way we do politics in Europe, birthplace of democracy, is just sick.
So yeah, I think your parent post was talking about public schools. I won't argue that physical punishment (and abuse in some places) was absent from Catholic schools, especially at that time. Missouri also seems to be home to much more conservative Catholics than I'm used to seeing in other parts of the country which may relate to why the teachers/administration behaved that way.
Used it in last company, a good excuse to fool employees to stay away from Facebook yet use something similar at workplace.
The commission basically represents the governments of the individual member countries. Because it has the most power by far of all the european institutions, this means that the governments in turn can exercise power at the EU level in a fairly unimpeded fashion.

If the legislative power were transferred away from the commission to the parliament (where it should be, if EU governance were to follow the standard approach for separation of powers), the individual member states would lose a lot of control. Control they aren't at all interested in relinquishing, as you may imagine.

And that's before even considering making the executive branch (the commission) directly elected.
Sure, the REQ/REQ sockets are limited, especially because they force the Request/Reply/Request/Reply/... series. I don't think any complex applications use this. I recently built an application using DEALER/ROUTER sockets, where you can send multiple requests, without having to wait for responses, etc. Additionally, no application should rely on receiving a response, the poller he suggests solves this problem nicely (although I don't think it necessary to wrap it into send/recv methods as pyzmq offers a nice polling API).
I've been experimenting with being completely asynchronous (and working on being connection-less). The protocol layer just wraps up payloads and unpacks them. There is a background heartbeat and when the heartbeat is not met there is a notification that the heartbeat has not been met but the user is in charge of if this should be considered a disconnection. This is mostly inspired by how Oz does distribution. I don't have any good results yet, though.
Hyosung GT 250R Overview
Granted the departments I worked at were sent off to India but I was basically triaging and routing tech support calls. What impressed me about the people I worked with was how underemployed they were. We had folks with masters degrees in math who were solid programmers, solid sysadmins, etc. in the team as FTE's, and people who worked there with similar credentials as temps tended to get good jobs at Microsoft elsewhere, but if you took an FTE position in that department you had a really hard time getting into something better.

In fact there was only one way to do it: get a job somewhere else, and then apply back. Things were so bad at one point that HR was actually recommending this as a career path.
You cannot remove it. You just need to set it visible only to you, set it not visible on your timeline.

And then setup another public email which you will have to show to everyone instead. I'm pretty sure you didn't have to do that before.
Can you give an example of an interest group with over 20% of the US population support but has no representation in government?
Impressive checking there. I'm thinking of opening a second account with a bank independent of Lloyd's tentacles. Might try that one...
In my experience, test messages never work, but real messages always do

Obviously you can confirm that the real messages that you do receive gets through. What about those that didn't? How do you know that they didn't? How do you know no such messages exist?

Are you being naive here or am I missing some sarcasm?
Your logic is correct about the snowball's chance in hell most 3rd parties have in the US, but the editorializing weakens your comment, IMO. You're right in some ways, but there is no perfect electoral system. A representative democracy like here in Italy carries risks of its own: that a small party will hold the critical votes needed for a majority in parliament, and so hold a much larger party 'hostage'. That is quite undemocratic in its own way, and also leads to "weak" democracy because it's often difficult to hold fairly diverse coalitions together long enough to do anything coherent.
Yes, this framework. You can do all those things and much, much more using the d3 toolkit this is built on. It's a complex and powerful framework (and relatively low-level, which is why this was meta-framework was built, apparently). But if you invest some time learning it, you'll be able to use mold these components any way you wish.
Need more specifics, however;Google is testing a new system whereby servers are segregated from humans and run at much hotter temperatures.

> the obscure features of Amazon's cloud

Speaking as a company providing cloud streaming since before the term cloud was popular (2001, and our name signifies a rolling cloud/fog bank), the so-called "obscure features" tend to be a sign of customer maturity.

While "minimum viable product" applies to getting off the ground, as your customers grow, eventually none of them will need only 80% type features. They will need that last 20% of features that handle edge cases, unique capabilities not offered elsewhere, and the sorts of things one can do in one's own IT department but cannot usually do outsourced.

AWS "obscure" features, like ours, tend to be these capabilities: those things that leading customers (the category driving quarter to quarter organic growth independent of sales/marketing overhead) need to complete their own offerings.

If you want those customers, and to help your overhead you do, then you will eventually have to develop and support those obscure features that through your customer communication processes with your top 5% you've found keep you competitive with "in house" IT.
Tell me about it -- I've been waiting more someone to build a higher-level framework on top of d3. It's not a whole lot more than can be found in the d3 examples at the moment, but I can see this growing into an incredible toolkit, and one that can be customized at will using d3's power.

I keep the equivalent of about 500 USD in cash at a "hidden" spot in my apartment, in case something bad temporarily would happen to my bank account. Not enough for it to hurt if it was stolen, but enough to last for a while (I am a student). Perhaps that's something you could consider once this mess is sorted.

I think this is just might be one of those things which would ticks us off as techies..

Rather than polling, zeromq >= 2.2 allows you to set ZMQ_RCVTIMEO on the socket which seems to be what the author is after. It would be nice to be notified of disconnected peers, but the timeout + retry approach has been good enough for me.

There is actually little evidence for the left/right brain division we see so often in popular culture (and from what I see in the reviews, in the second book?)

From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateralization_of_brain_functi...

>although a lateral dominance is measurable, these characteristics are in fact existent in both sides,[1] and experimental evidence provides little support for correlating the structural differences between the sides with functional differences.[2]
I think the point of the article is connecting to the emotional (and sometimes spiritual) experience of quitting.

I think everyone should quit or get fired from a job at least once in their life. People talk about starting this or wishing things were better, but until you've gone through the utter terror of quitting/being fired, you never know how resilient you can be moving on to the next challenge.

It's kind of like starting a business. You can talk all you want, but until you do it (or it happens to you), you don't get it.

The universe might have taken care of him, but that is because he realized it's not about how you fall down (even if you jump down), it's how you get up. If you keep getting up, the universe WILL help you out.
"...where the pull of gravity is nearly zero": No it's not! This is sloppy science journalism physics where there's a gravity shield around Earth. The pull is there but objects are in free fall.
Well, from a purely consequentialist standpoint, it would very likely be much more cost-efficient to donate the money you could use to make the data centre green to charities.

Then again, I'm plenty cynical to realize that going green is most often a PR-move, in which case donating to charities doesn't quite cut it. Nevertheless, if nature is the priority, a good charity (there are some bad, or at least inefficient ones, too) is best.
