Why is it so difficult to transfer phonebooks between mobile phones?
My sister has just acquired a Samsung E250 to replace a Motorola V3 she doesn't get on with. That replaced an older Samsung which had a nice data cable and some software called Phonebook Manager that happily took a copy of her phonebook and stored it in a nice PBF file.
She never managed to get those numbers into the V3 (finding a downloadable Motorola Phone Tools is painful and you have to pay for it).
I tried to get the numbers from the V3 into the E250 using MobilEdit!(also payware and you have to do online activation) but there were random crashes and it only partially worked. (I had a fleeting hope that the latest FMA might just work with the E250 but it consistently rebooted the phone whilst building its folder structures.)
Why aren't the Bluetooth stacks doing this? Shouldn't OBEX be handling this for me? Where is my brave new future of interconnectedness?
Sadly, this isn't one of them. To paraphrase the entire book, "nu-metal is ace, right, and anything else is just poopants and I hate it and if you disagree you're a poo pants monkey face, ya." Seriously.
Also, any book proclaiming the genius of Fred Durst should be approached not with caution but a flamethrower.
In summary, this book sickened me to the depths of my soul and I will not be reading it again. Charity shop bin for you, missy.
If you want to add formulas, you have to use the R1C1 notation for cells, not the A1 style.
This has been a post on behalf of the "Well, that's an hour wasted" party.
(Although I cheated and bought two new ones. Sorry! Then I read them both in one day. Oops.)
Eh. Reacher in a team? Doesn't work for me. There are a couple of large plot holes which are never explained (even despite characters in the novel specifically asking the questions!) and it all seems a bit like a rushed film treatment. In summary, eh.
No, not the big one about electrons, the one to do with cycling.
"Your Eddington Number is the number of days (N) on which you've cycled at least N miles."
Given a list of cycling distances per day of unknown length, terminated by -1, what is the minimum number of operations (expressed as a function of the list length) required to calculate the EN for that list?
Is there a clever one-pass algorithm that'll give you the answer in O(n)? Or will you have to iterate over the list multiple times to make O(n*n) (or O(n log n), possibly, since you don't need to iterate the full list each time)?
Some stores in the UK reportedly use these deceptive mirrors to make you feel like you look better in your potential new clothes than you really do -- boingboing
If he spent even the merest fraction of a second engaging his research cap instead of his posting fingers, he'd realise that M&S (for it is they who were accused by the crazy orange buffoon Kilroy-Silk) already denied this four days ago and that this is about as likely to happen in real-life as Mr Kilroy-Silk becoming President of the World.
(Shame, too, on Mr Lockton for giving the ramblings of this nutjob any credence.)
"Ornithology" by Charlie Parker, for example, is some guy noodling on some brass instrument and going nowhere for N minutes. Dull dull DULL.
Ho hum.
