When I tried to do it, they added a £5/month thing to my account, but then also added a £5/month goodwill, so I wasn't paying for it. I have no idea what it is doing, but there is no filter anymore.
I had to phone a few times before it worked though.
I would have preferred it if Apple had designed it to be the same thickness, given it a bigger battery, took out the CD drive and allowed us to replace SSD and RAM... As great as they are, I won't be getting one.. Stuff breaks too quickly for me.
I was lucky enough to have lunch with Steve Furber and my two of my old college lecturers a few months ago.
A very fascinating man with lots of history.
When I was working for a company, I would get it an 8:15 and left at 17:00 on the dot. When asked if I could stay to do something which I felt could wait until the morning, I would say no and leave. I didn't get fired, instead I had a life. Working is not everything, there are much more important things in life.
I'm really glad I have come across this... I've had this for a couple of years, about once or twice a month. For me it feels like something is applying a lot of pressure to the side of my head, accompanied by a very loud tingling sound... Only lasts for about two seconds, but not something I enjoy
I love Mac OS, but I definitely do not hate Bill Gates. He made computers affordable and accessible, while making a lot of money. A lot of that money has gone to charities which is great.
The only time I'm going to feel concerned about the sandboxing on Mac OS apps is if it's forced onto all applications.
If that happens, I shall leave Mac just like I did Windows and be forced to use Linux... I can't say I particularly like the new layout of Ubuntu so maybe I should just quite computing completely :'(
I'm writing really a very large app for the company I work for. We're using PhoneGap with HTML and JavaScript and have many plugins.
What we are not having problems with is the fact that we only really have a single thread to do everything. All I can say is that I'm glad it wasn't my idea to build it this way.
I've been in a situation where I've needed to queue about 100k of messages. Each message unique with custom attributes populated also from MySQL.
I used to generate the messages and then insert them into queuing system but for 100k messages I never managed to make this fast... I have managed to queue all these messages in less than half a second using just one MySQL query.
If anyone has any better ideas, please let me know!
