I talked them down to fourty, but had to turn them down because it only allows access to two computers. I've had free access to ten computers for years, now they want 130 bucks to keep that same level of service? Screw that!
Or maybe people don't know about the look until after they've upgraded? The Software Update page on the device doesn't show any screenshots, it doesn't even say anything about the new look.
Additionally, there are lots of apps which only work on iOS 7, so often enough you don't have a choice.
Even people that otherwise like the iOS 7 look will admit that a lot of the stock app icons look like shit. Safari and mail and settings in particular are a bad joke.
Does anyone know what is special about the pollutants addressed by these plants? Are there other pollutants that are helpful to filter, and why did NASA focus on this set?
Not entirely sure, but a lot of these VOCs come from stuff in your house (carpet, paint, plastics).
When I lived in Augusta, GA the air around the city would occasionally reek due to a nearby paper mill. The smell would blow over the city after an hour, but anything that slipped into drafty homes would remain for hours; I'd only notice after returning from walking the dogs.
I started to wonder what I was breathing and found a list of possibile offenders: formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, benzene, chloroform, tetrachloroethylene, and trichloroethylene [1]
I was hoping my plants would help (the link nate_meurer posted casts some doubt).
My impression was that the problem with the original post was a denial accepting a change, which the author took to mean a militant exclusion of gender neutral language.
The author wasn't taking a militant stand against someone who simply writes gendered language, but against someone who made a decision to exclude gender-neutral language specifically.
I think the other feature of these two camps is that they tend to see the opposition through the mirror of their own preconceptions. I took the pull request rejection at face value: "trivial change; denied". I don't agree with the policy, but I did not sense any overt anti-gender-parity agenda in the action.
That the author of the pull request viewed this action as a militant attack tells me, with some measure of certainty, to which camp they belong.
It's a matter of degree then. Saying "doing work to change pronouns isn't worth it to me" is one thing - you may find the benefits of that too trivial to be worth your time.
Rejecting (multiple times) work that has already been done for you leans much more in the direction of some sort of agenda.
He uses archive footage in his exceptionally well written articles to make a hybrid documentary that is not plodding (like how TV is if you actually count the words per minute) and not devoid of moving pictures (every picture tells a thousand whatever).
I wish more news and current affairs was presented in this mixed-medium way.
The problem I have is that on my smallish (13"? Not too small) monitor, the top and bottom of the video are always very close to the top and bottom of the viewport. On a 24" monitor it would be better, but I found watching the videos to feel very claustrophobic.
Ah, never mind then. This is notable because neither Windows 98 SE or Windows 8.1 really are updates or service packs (it's not like the usual "KBxyz restores the start button in Windows 8" and it won't appear in Windows Update), that's why they have distinct names and packaging to set them apart from the other Windows versions. The MS press release / blog post (and related press coverage), however, made it look like the free upgrade was a first. I stand corrected, but I don't loathe Windows any less because of it.
This is the exact way in which metadata, in the age of computer analysis, is just as important as the data itself. With a computer looking for patterns, it's possible to sift through billions of pieces of data to single out someone trying to hide in the noise.
This will find its biggest market (I think) in NYC apartments - you only need 1 usually, and tiny unventilated kitchens are a near guarantee to send off an alarm.
I lived in an apartment where we essentially had a broom handle hanging next to the alarm because it was inevitable, and during Sandy blackout the thing constantly chirped because its landline was disconnected. Not a good experience.
