The article doesn't appear to mention it, but in the past I had a need for this type of information when interfacing C data structures from other programming languages. If the structure you are connecting with is packed you have to be

Interesting, I will be careful with that as well then, being in a hurry might make you do exactly that and regret it.

I'm very careful to not plug in an external screen before the MBP wakes up as your MBP may crash. Have made that mistake myself a few times and am nowadays very careful to first wake up the MBP before plugging in an external screen.

While I understand what you mean let me try and clarify that a bit. Running OS X under VMware Workstation is not supported by VMware and is not allowed according to apple's EULA. This probably was what you referred towards. However you

That's correct. Everybody needs to be able to produce an ID when asked for it by the police. Note however that it is not common for police to ask you for your ID, so not everybody carries it at all times. You get a fine if you don&#x2

Same in Thailand. The copy is not legally valid, but helps a lot when asked for your ID. If you show enough respect to the officer then it might be sufficient. Side note I lived in Thailand for several years and was never asked for an ID.

It's not illegal unless you get specifically paid for doing that type of thing. Eg. if you are doing a secretarial job and get paid for checking email and answering skype. Not that it hurts to ask your Thai lawyer for a confirmation.

Google also offers IPv6 public DNS servers, maybe that helps? (probably not though as they might not yet have turned on ipv6) 2001:4860:4860::8888 and 2001:4860:4860::8844 Also look at the other links that user lemonade posted here.

I'm betting it will be just as safe/unsafe on April 8th as it is on April 7th. Yes people should have gotten off XP by now, but real life isn't always perfect. There will not be a massive XP infection on April 8th, it will co

Interesting to see that users using Vista are already being seen as 'should be dropped'. AFAIK Internet Explorer 9 is the highest IE version on MS Vista. Not that I like IE or Vista, just seems to me that there are a ton of people

The question is about two -now old- versions of version control software systems, the question was asked five years ago. Both systems have matured quite a bit making the comments less accurate to actually base an opinion upon.

You could try the following google, it gives you an idea: https://www.google.com/search?q=OVH+support+site:webhostingt... For some people a provider like OVH is "good enough", but there is a reason it is cheap.
