> All domestic students have to pay AT MOST of 1 year of out of state tuition, because you establish in state residency in your first year here.
This isn't true in many cases. I was an out of state student attending a California university and was paying out of state tuition for all years. You can only establish residency if you demonstrate financial independence (e.g., you need a full time job). If you have someone else helping pay the tuition that is outside the state, or if you're using loans to fund yourself, you remain an out of stater.
TomTom includes carpool lanes in their planning for routes in the United States. I've seen it in California and Connecticut. A big red screen shows up and asks "Route uses carpool lanes -- is this ok?". If I am driving alone, then I just hit "No".
Less fuss? I remember plenty of talk going on about this -- it hit the front page of many newspapers including the NYT and the Washington Post. The administration even acknowledged it to a degree. People have just forgotten.
"Google's CalDAV page already lists the API as being "deprecated." A note on the page adds "If you think you have a compelling use case and would like to be whitelisted for the new version of CalDAV API, please fill out this form."
...
Google, however, confirmed this will not impact the agreement with Microsoft and that the Softies will still be able to implement CalDav support on Windows Phone."
I had the opportunity to meet Andre last summer while interning at Cisco. I had no idea who he was at first, until I looked him up on LinkedIn and "googled" his name.
Towards the end of my internship, I was there until 10 PM some days working on code. Andre would see my cube lights on and come over to talk to me. Considering how I was just working all alone when there that late, I really appreciated the brief talks, as they provided me when an opportunity to think about something other then the problems within my code for a few moments. He would often share a few technical tips or an interesting story with me during our conversations.
Although I didn't work with him much, it's disappointing to hear of his death. It seems like most of the comments in here (on HN) are regarding mental illness -- something which I never observed during the brief period of time that I knew him. Regardless of his reason for taking his life, I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet him and thank him for those brief conversations.
"Facebook is indeed intercepting messages -- the e-mail is clearly passing through Facebook's servers, but this seems to be where it stays, as neither sender nor receiver are getting a copy."
Is this really appropriate use of the word "intercepting"? Typically intercepting carries a negative meaning -- like "the FBI is intercepting my postal mail and opening it before it reaches me". However, with their use of the word, every email I send is "intercepted" by multiple servers before it reaches its destination....
Interesting that the author chose to use a Kill-a-Watt for power consumption monitoring.. seems like a better idea to use the planning applications available from the major vendors to determine usage depending on workload, etc. Dell and HP both have a calculator where you set the system (RAM, CPU, # HDs, etc.) and the load and it will provide you with an approximate power use, along with a peak load.
I can't imagine why they decided email addresses now needed two layers of privacy controls. First layer = who can see this, second layer = is it visible on timeline. If I didn't want it visible on the timeline, why wouldn't I just select "Only me" on the first option...? Am I trying to keep my email private from myself?
They also only made the change for email addresses -- not IM usernames, etc. If the two layers were to help with privacy somehow, why not apply it to everything?
Perhaps his Google+ experience is different then yours? I'm inclined to agree -- most people who I know have Google+ accounts, have added me to their circles (and vice-versa) but chose to keep all of their interaction on Facebook.
The groups of people you communicate with are different. Just like during the 90s, some groups used AIM, some MSN, some ICQ...
The same reason why browsers are now making it so tough to get to a website without a "valid" SSL certificate -- the average user will ignore the warnings and accept anything to get to their objective. This is one of the reasons why Google Chrome now prevents users from accepting invalid SSL certificates for some Google properties.
Yeah, I was under the impression that it would be illegal also, but apparently the FCC hasn't concluded whether it should be allowed.
MagicJack was planning to offer similar functionality in the past:
"YMAX [makers of MagicJack] says it doesn’t need permission to use the carriers’ operating frequencies in the home and that it’s protected under Part 15 of FCC regulation. This stipulation allows a device to operate without a license if it uses very low power, and doesn’t cause interference."
"In 2007, the CTIA requested the FCC regulate in-home wireless network signal boosters. The CTIA believes it should be illegal to boost any signal without the consent of the spectrum licensee. This contentious issue is still being debated, and YMAX is likely watching very closely for any signs of a decision."
Looks like hellofax couldn't handle the surge in traffic -- site is now down for me.
Whenever I see a site down like this due to a surge in traffic for a "free" opportunity, I always question whether it is in the site's best interest. For instance, if I was a hellofax customer attempting to send a fax right now, I would be unhappy -- I pay to be able to send / receive faxes, and an (perhaps from the customers perspective) "unnecessary event" has prevented me from doing that.
Brings up another question -- whenever companies do these types of "promotions" / "events", should they be hosted on a separate system to minimize impact on existing customers / site activity? I believe this year, Sparkfun use a separate system for free day to ensure the surge in traffic did not impact the main site (and paying customers).
I'm not sure I get it -- it sound's like he wanted to create a national carrier, but bypass all of the FCC licensing requirements by utilizing unlicensed spectrum. This obviously wouldn't work --- nor should it, given the havoc which this would cause if people could just setup national networks on the WiFi spectrum.
More information is needed to really determine what was really in the pipe at the time.
I'm confused as well by this. From my perspective, in order to keep your business and personal lives separate (and private) you need two separate systems to work on. I have no interest in IT possibly being able to log or monitor my interactions with my personal GMail, bank accounts, etc. Since most companies Acceptable Use Policies provides them with the right to monitor all of this and more, it seems necessary.
Other people though don't seem to feel as strongly about keeping their work and personal lives separate...
Looks like on the "people" page, someone was attempting to see if the Register input is sanitized? There is one name which appears to include some scripting..?
