Please read the article I linked to: "The federal law requires these tenants to keep paying rent for as long as they occupy the property, which can be 90 days from the sale or the remainder of their old lease, whichever period is longer

The article you link to has no relationship to the article you're commenting on. You're talking about non-payment of rent. There is a separate federal law concerning eviction of rent-paying tenants after foreclosure on their landlord. See

> I find the story from the landlord really, really hard to believe. I don't. Not for an instant. The landlord's story is the same story as thousands of other homeowners, right down to BofA "losing" paperwork repeatedly. I guess this

Um, zero? That was pretty much the case whenever I went in to a bank branch in past years. Often I was the only one there, never was the employee to customer ratio less than 5:1, and anyone who was there was most likely to be 60+. A visit t

I haven't set foot in a bank branch in over a year, and then only to deal with a problem caused by the confluence of their antiquated model and that of another company. I've never once made a phone call to, or received one from, my current

Yeah, tell me, how much are those electrons costing the bank, again? Unless they're also giving you free checks, that's pretty much the cost. A human being will rarely look at anything. Everything is handled by automated computer systems.

"getting publications"? What does that even mean? You think academia has to be convinced to pump out papers? If the standard is an open-access site similar to arXiv, that's where the papers would go. No effort needs to be spent there, and t

Going through a few pages of results, I don't think I've heard of any of those companies. Somehow, that fails to surprise me.

It's probably pretty rare, but I actually had a reasonable use case for something like this some months ago. Worked around it in other ways in the end. Wouldn't want to use this for any serious work without any clear license, though...

That's a criminal matter, there's no applicability to a civil action.

This is a really tricky legal area. There have been a very limited number of real cases involving EULA terms like this (and I'm not sure any have been decided at a trial), and there will be wide variability between jurisdictions. You can, i

I don't see how these two companies are competitors. Start2Cloud appears to be akin to a directory or online magazine centered around providing information on "Cloud" services from many companies. GoodData appears to be providing some sort

> They basically did an end-run around the $10k SQL Server license. Could you elaborate on that? I have utterly no idea what it means based on that post, and Microsoft's semi-functional site is not enlightening me, either.

Here's one: You need to tell us why we should expect EntryDNS to exist in six months. With no apparent revenue source, I have to assume EntryDNS will drop off the face of the earth at any moment, never to be seen again. That's not something

Keyboard control for something like this is way too slow. I can't react in time, especially with the field of view partially obstructed by the fighter.

The correlation between company size and amount of insurance premium paid by the company isn't very strong in my experience, at least for tech companies. The smallest percentage I paid was at the smallest company, actually. It's got more to

Yeah, but most people pushing more than a few tens of GB/month probably don't really need to save a few dollars over e.g. Linode. Budget VPSs are the modern "shell account", their primary users are a combination of learners, early-stage dev

Where do you get those numbers from? If you're taking the top tax bracket, don't, that tells you absolutely nothing about an individual's effective tax rate.

I don't think nervousness about a particular implementation approach is a reason not to implement WebGL, just a reason not to do it in what I gather is Chrome's way. On the other hand, Chrome's strategy might just be getting explained poorl

Ah, I was only looking at the white model. You're right, there was a unibody model with a 9400M at that time, too.

Hm, sorry, I was under the impression the WebGL implementations were being done rather differently than they apparently are. I hadn't thought the calls were getting passed through directly due to security concerns. Chrome, at least, appears

Fullscreen doesn't help when you have multiple monitors, hot corners, and windowshade functionalities. The lack of mouse acceleration adjustment is also a problem on large screens.

The Source engine is much more mature and much better optimized than what's in WebGL implementations right now. Valve and other game makers have strong incentive to make their games run as well as possible on a wide variety of hardware. The

Your 2010 MBA has an nvidia 320M chip. Pedro's 2011-era 13" MacBook Pro (there is no 2011 MacBook) has an Intel chip. The 320M isn't a particularly great GPU, but I expect much better performance and compatibility out of it than the Intel.
