And the apparent routing of all bug reports and feature requests to /dev/null -- er, the recycling bin -- certainly seems to be an institutional thing. I have no doubt that thousands of their paying customers have complained about this to Microsoft over the years and it had to have been ridiculously simple to address.
The US unemployment rate includes students, so long as they were seeking work at for at least one season of the year.
If you look at it on a month-to-month basis, it is seasonally adjusted, as students typically seek work during the summer [1].
If you look at it, the unemployment rate for 16 year old's is incredibly high---at ~16% [2]. These people like OP said, are nearly universally in schooling and would not be counted as NEETs.
I can't say though how the NEET score is calculated in Japan. If it is so strict as to only include people who have never held a job, education, or training of any kind during the year then it can't be compared to any unemployment statistic as those would typically drop someone if they worked once or gave up.
Either ways, comparing it is bad---which is what the grand-poster is getting at, so I think we all agree.
Of course, if you don’t have a DVD burner (remember, this was a while back — these days you’d use a USB drive), you’d have to get one from a friend who has one, a licensed refurbisher, or your manufacturer (for instance, Dell or Lenovo) for a fee.
Why did Lundgren buy a genuine Dell recovery disc if the software was available for free online? There would be no need to buy a genuine Dell recovery disc to serve as the master disc for his cloned discs.
Of course, I do know the answer as I am not naïve: the Dell recovery disc is not the same as the Microsoft.com ISO download you can procure. The Dell disc contains an installation of Windows + some Dell extra content that you would expect to have in a Dell disc. And if he was to download the ISO from Microsoft and burn it onto a DVD, it would produce a checksum that wouldn't be identical to the Dell recovery disc, revealing it as a counterfeit.
there's a whole jargon and set of acronyms that takes some puzzling out. I guess what I was trying to write in my original post, is that if someone is developing software/database/backend (or presentation layer) for a dating website or app, that there's a considerable diversity of ways people search for certain criteria, other than those that are commonly seen on a site like plenty of fish, bumble, etc.
Well, if it's being marketed to an English speaking audience, they will need to consider whether the name has negative connotations regardless of where it originated.
American companies have to be sensitive to this when expanding into new markets too.
Although, occasionally, they make mistakes. Coca-cola tried to sell water with a campaign that declared it 'bottled spunk', in the early 00's. Spunk, in english english, means semen.
That's the problem. If you look broadly enough, you will find someone who is offended by some of your words. You will never get everyone to agree on what is "ok".
> Couldn't they obtain a 7khz tone by mixing any two tones seperated by 7khz and applying a low-pass filter?
I don't understand this comment. Are you implying that a low-pass filter would shift the frequencies of part of the signal rather than (mostly) filtering some of the frequencies away...?
> In the most common application, two signals at frequencies f1 and f2 are mixed, creating two new signals, one at the sum f1 + f2 of the two frequencies, and the other at the difference f1 − f2.
Then the low pass filter is used to remove the original signals and the sum, leaving only the difference.
When they are mixed they produce a beat frequency. When it is sampled at a lower frequency only the beat frequency remains.
I may be wrong but I think a filter would have the same effect in this case.
My point is that any number of inputs could produce the observation, so their claim of reverse engineering is rather questionable. In fact they have no evidence of ultrasound at all.
> Toys 'r' us is amazing for kids - but go back as an adult.
It kind of sounds like you're agreeing with the GP. Kids love mountains of cheap plastic crap so for them it can be exciting even if parents detest it...
