Re: Uncovering Google Chrome OS Cr-48 Laptop's Hidden Cap Locks

jcpennypincher — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 18:58:48 -0000

Technically, Google did not fully remove the CAPS LOCK KEY because it can still be put back on if someone really wants it, as shown above. Kudos for including it in a tutorial for the boners out there who want it. It really isn't used anymore except for rare cases where someone might be doing data entry and that is a requirement. So, who cares... 99% of us don't. I'm glad that friggin key is gone. It's as dead as dial-up internet.!

Republicans demonize any increase in tax which is sickening in itself, but the truth is that health care is a huge benefit and a right in some countries. It cannot be accomplished at current taxation levels. Too many Joe millionaires are not contributing a fair share thanks to corporate tax loopholes and republican right wing nut jobs who are out of touch with reality.

Jobs promoted focus and creative thinking. Thanks to him the world is a more productive and fun place. Dennis Ritchie was a truely brilliant scientist.! Without him the world would be a different place that's for sure... the C programming language pervades every element of the society we know today...

“We had an independent consulting firm study smart meters and how frequently they’re communicating and that study showed they communicate on average of 1.4 seconds per day,” says BC Hydro spokesman Dag Sharman. The claim that a meter has interfered with his pace maker should be impossible.

Re: Oh iTunes, why have you forsaken the Apple TV?

As an iOS Developer, I always listen to user feedback and try to find a way to make it happen if it's a worthy idea. Another way to go about this is to request this feature directly to Apple. If it's a decent idea, they will adopt it and then you will have improved the platform for everyone.

This is precisely why the shock and awe myths of incredible feats, and a miracle have been perpetrated against the people many times throughout history. Many gods, mythical creatures like the Ogopogo, an indian legend that was told to young children, to keep them from going in the deep water of Okanagan Lake as it has a very steep drop off. So, myths and religions are used to gain control of a majority by perpetrating a myth. There are large groups of religious slaves in all religions, working for their god ( which is controlled by man). Those who are on the inside, and know the myth, are the true holders of this power. The group then can block vote, sway mass opinion, defend their enslavement, and spread it to others to gain more control.

Just a question, but how do you know that your data is directed through the US if it's sent from Canada to Canada? Both Shaw and Telus own their own Canadian internet backbone. They are not leasing other company's networks from the US. - Platform Engineer, Carrier Grade Systems.

Re: Code Signing in Xcode 8 - Possible Mobile

jcpennypincher — Mon, 05 Dec 2016 19:23:10 -0000

Apple may have fixed automatic provisioning for single builds using their Xcode interface, however, they have left command line users hanging with broken provisioning period.! I manage hundreds and hundreds of apps and only build these through automation. That all came to a grinding halt with Xcode 8 as I can no longer specify code signing identity and provisioning profile etc via automation. Fix one thing break another thing. Thanks Apple.!

Re: Is There a Shortage of STEM Students and STEM professionals?

jcpennypincher — Sat, 05 Aug 2017 16:20:48 -0000

Too many people around the world and especially in certain countries, are pursing religion instead of STEM skills which can advance their own countries. Those who do get educated abandon those undeveloped countries destined for the United States further exacerbating the core problem of an uneducated main stream unable to develop their countries.
