Microsoft Office does not autoupdate. It notifies you of an update, but you have to confirm the transfer and installation. At least that's how it works on my Mac.

I did none of those things. It was just a description of a process as value-less as I was able to write it. However I do not think this process necessarily leads to the creation of an awesome area. Just one catered to particular type(s) of

They are not necessarily at the beginning. However if they are interesting, then they will draw visitors (tourists) which will lead to opening lodgings for them because enough of them like to stay close to places they like. This will then l

This wouldn't change landlord's incentives and therefore unlikely to change the outcome.

Why would you expect that visitors became more accepting of slower websites? If anything I would imagine to be the opposite with connections generally being faster these days. Especially since old Google's result was about observed eff

Color me unsurprised that a person who wrote software for voting machines also finds them useful. The problem I have with this particular scenario is that it imagines a reality in which someone can afford to collect votes one by one with im

I am another watch guy, but I disagree that the main problem is that people don't like wearing them (although there certainly is no shortage of such people). Last year there were 1.2 BILLION watches sold ( http://www.statisti

I hate to respond to myself, but it is interesting how you can get down-voted simply for providing a reference to man's own words.

Difference is at the beginning. When I started using Python I absolutely loved that stdlib covered almost everything I thought I could need. These days packages I use mostly come from elsewhere, but at the beginning it was great. I'm f

On the other hand in Tajikistan Google Maps is beyond awful, even in Dushanbe. It regularly placed pins kilometres from real location. Openstreetmap on the other hand was mostly fine. All of them are far from perfect, but vastly better than

In effect you argument is that we don't have free will, right? I wonder what is then causing inefficiency when we read restaurant's menu and can't decide what we will have. I'm with those who think we make choices and de

Well, it was when I tried to do it and I haven't gone back to check if it changed. Busy, remember? So probably mistaken, but hardly FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt).

Not all EU countries have the same tax rates so yes, it is allowed to have lower ones. It is OK to have low rates (like Slovakia and some other countries have) as long as the same rules apply to all companies. Problem with this one is that

I really dislike this argument. When I go to a polling booth, I don't get a list of issues where I could check my position on each one. What I get is one vote to select a person or party which across all issues I care about comes close

And how many truckers do you think this job would need compared to now? It's hard to imagine that not a lot fewer unless you expect that number of trucks on roads would rise by some multiple of now.

That's an odd argument to make. It would be like saying that printed word is not everywhere if you are illiterate (or just not familiar with society's alphabet). I see math similar to many other types of knowledge. You can get by

Sure, but doing what? And can you get a whole team of them? I very very much doubt you can when it comes to programming. I've been doing this for almost two decades and in this time have only known ONE person who might fit the bill.

That's because you are thinking of continuous functions. You have actually gave an example of a non-continuous one, it's just that you think of it as two functions connected with input conditional. Other replier already gave you s
