It's a genuine scalability problem when you have to work out how to physically print/place that many tickets, and the mechanism by which you distribute the jobs up to all of your volunteers (are they volunteers if they're bei

Also an extra edge to get you over the line - make sure you have a license to sell the tickets to yourself. Usually the vendors (newsagents, shops) etc that sell the tickets get a commission on each ticket ranging from 2% - 10% It's th

You've nailed it right there... "do something that you want to do for its own sake". There are multiple problems solved - you don't come across as fake or forced, the content you're covering seems natural, because y

If it's a .net app can you just host it under mono? Do you really need to use Visual Studio? If it's C#/ASP.Net VSCode might be a possible replacement?

At the time I started thinking about making that change, I don't think I had a good answer. I started using Python, and Python Tools for Visual Studio, and thought, this is fucked, because I love this tool, and it's tying me to Wi

I didn't realise you can use direct hardware access in a VM! (Other than HDD) That'd be pretty good

Last year I bought a Synology NAS w/ 12 TB (9tb usable) and copied most of my data to it. So data wasn't a problem. Bonus now is I can use NFS!

No, the Windows 10 upgrade was "Free", but I was talking specifically about Windows 8 with regards to ads in the O/S. The music app comes with the O/S, and is the default registered music player, for all intents are purp

Same thing I really didn't like about Windows 8. Ads on my desktop, in an operating system I paid money for. In particular Toyota car ads in the music app. I did like the UI improvements, the notifications system etc, that switching be

Windows 10 pushed me to Linux. I spent the last few years slowly but surely weening myself off a dependence on Microsoft tools (at home anyway). I switched my dev environment from VS/C# to Python/Komodo. Email from Outlook to Gmai

Pretty sure this is an interaction issue with Samsung drives, trim support, and the Linux kernel, so no, you don't need to be worried.

Yeah I was thinking keeping electronics in the freezer probably isn't great, there would eventually be build up of moisture inside the key housing itself right? some aluminium foil would do just as nicely!

The one upside - the tax I had to pay was on the value of the shares. The value was zero, so I had to pay zero tax.

not just in the US - from the stuff I've read (and I can't cite anything), here in Australia the roads were originally sealed to improve cycling conditions!

Felt exactly the same way. The arrogance displayed by the tip4commit developers is rage-inducing.

I have a chromecast too, its not even plugged in, I hate having to "cast" to it from another device. I use a raspberry-pi with xbmc running on it, but this could be great.... could be.

At first I was thinking I had to have one of these. Then I read feature page where it subtly tells you that most of the functionality is based on being tethered to an iphone. What a pity.

I hope they don't, the whole point of the ban is to ensure an untainted jury. The details will be released once the case has been heard.

How long does it take to go from wanting to place a bet, to your money being in the pool? My knowledge of bitcoin is lacking but I was of the understanding that there is some time before the transaction/transfer is verified? Thus if yo

Also back in the olden days of ring side bookies at the race tracks, it was illegal to transmit information "off-track". It didn't stop people inventing systems to do it though. Clever use of very old mobile phones which used

There are services you can subscribe to for live (in-play) statistical information for football. This is exactly the same thing. You position yourself on betfair, pay a bundle of money for a "courtside" feed, because all media bro

30 - 50 years, damn I feel old, I only just sneak into that bracket though. TRS-80 coding in BASIC was my first machine/language combination, I was 8 at the time.
