Without going into the balance/entertainment part: You can get all of the LoL characters for free, even the new ones (although those will be a bit more expensive for 1 week). I haven't been following the game closely lately but as far as I remember all the content can be unlocked for free now (that includes skins).
Similar story here. I'm a smoker and usually do international/inside-US flights on a monthly basis. In 7-8 years the only lighters I recall losing have been in my home country (where pat downs and having your bags opened are a common thing).
Curiously, I haven't had a TSA line longer than 45 minutes flying from places in NY, CA or FL (I mostly flight late evening/disgustingly-early morning though) in the last few months.
PS: laxatives, you mention being treated like a human. Why not help by not referring to TSA employees as "dropouts"?
FWIW I've had agents inspect my bad and allow me to keep lighters. I've only had lighters confiscated on a handful of international flights, and never in the US.
Yeah you're right its not fair to call them dropouts.
Lighters are not forbidden. I was told to toss out all but one when coming back into the U.S. from Canada, once, but that's about as far as it's ever gone. I travel a fair amount and almost always with one or more lighters.
It's interesting to see how they are overcoming some of the issues that large projects experience when using GitHub. Their mention bot in particular (https://github.com/facebook/mention-bot) looks like a very attractive piece of software for teams using GH (open source or not).
Not that I know of. ChromeOS still uses it and though Ubuntu is phasing it out, they haven't completely gotten rid of it as a session manager yet AFAIK. They need to support it for a few more years anyway due to 14.04 LTS.
That's exactly the difference between deprecated an obsolete. The former means it's on it's way to the latter. Putting work into upstart just means you'll have work migrating to systemd in less than a year or two.
Traditionally in CS, concurrent != parallel. If you have a blocking operation (say a database read) your program can do something else while it waits for a response from the DB (this gives you pseudo-parallelism). That is the concurrency that evented frameworks like Node or EventMachine are usually associated with.
Orkut, MySpace, Ning and other social networks had support for apps using OpenSocial around 2008. You had access to friends, FoFs, and several other social features.
For some time people ignored this platform, which meant that you could make a few million dollars per month porting successful FB games (Colheita Feliz, a FarmVille clone, comes to mind) since you faced virtually no competition.
Mathematica, Cloud and Alpha are three examples of products that use this language (not exclusively but extensively). I would qualify these as large scale products.
I've been testing Cloud since April, and although I don't think the environment is ready for production yet, the problems are more related to the UI and the backend than to the actual language and libraries.
> If Apple is "instructing" that firm, then they aren't representing their clients' interests correctly.
Sorry to pick on just one phrase of your comment but I'm honestly curious. How is the "not-representing the client's interests" thing a problem inside a court? Is it because the other side or the court will pick on it, or is it because it honestly does not represent a client's interests[0]?
[0] In this case, I can't imagine an app. developer not wanting help dealing with this specific problem, but I've never been in that position.
I automatically made the association in my mind that not only would they defend you, they'd fund the thing. Thanks for making my misunderstanding obvious :)
