Very excited to give it a try, I have Illustrator 18.1.1 and it only works on 16 to 17.9, why is that?
I think this has potential and it might take a unexpected turn once Carlos Danger gets the news
thanks!
Sometimes Words starts typing multiple lines and Excel freezes when copy pasting filtered cells. I've learned to work around these bugs, (having been there for over a year). Maybe Office for Mac is not be coded by the devil, but lacks features and is unsatisfactory in ways that make me consider turning on the PC
Microsoft Office for Mac OSX was coded with the same evil spirit.
This behavior is unethical but pervasive, and should be outlawed somehow, it hurts everyone. Specially when it comes from the two biggest players in the market.
One detail I want to add to the discussion is that in the past few years the global panorama changed for Argentina, they sit on top of the second largest shale gas reserve in the world, and plan to extract it. They need money to start working and suddenly felt the urge to settle this issue.
Known fact: There is the Argentinean way of doing things, not straightforward, which is why talking about the bondholders like victims sounds naïve. They saw they might get their money now, and with Argentina’s shell gas urge probably felt the call to make more.
To me there is a larger scope, take a look at tech companies like Google and Facebook, they placed their head regional offices in Argentina. Both companies knew well in advance that the political and judicial system in Argentina is completely corrupt but still decided to direct their regional efforts from Buenos Aires. Why would anyone place offices in Argentina, when there is Chile, Perú or Colombia, countries that have greater political, social and economic stability, extremely better infrastructure, better weather and even tastier food.
I could be going paranoid but I believe it is simple; it looks like the big guys like to get in bed with the naughty ones, rather than the honest and better-behaved gals around the corner. This makes sense to me, after all, the bigger the risk the greater the possible reward.
The country is extremely wealthy, but that wealth is not getting to everyone (not that uncommon), and maybe that’s why the demonization of the international monetary funds has so much appeal locally. The certainty is that by the end of this story, it will be the Argentinean people who will be paying for this.
Last weekend I attended Startup Weekend event, looking to have fun trying to build something fast from a simple idea pitch. First day more than 80% of the crowd were business / marketing peoples. Designers were scarce and half of the few developers disappeared during the second day. Maybe I’m a masochist but decided to stay until the end, I figured I’d learn something about the agile event fauna. And I did: in most cases the agile methodology is stepping on top of rational thinking.
Do before you think and fail fast is good, only when you know how to do.
Last time I was on SW I had a lot of fun, but last weekend’s experience was somewhat sad. Gurus and their new methodologies might have some to teach, but will never replace rational thinking.
I don't like the way that video search is actually Youtube search (to use 'video' is misleading, sad face). And I imagine when it comes to images is the same.
DuckDuckGo, if you would please add other media sources... Google used to do this, now it's all about keeping the user inside Google’s ecosystem.
Just recently I went through the same issue, had to buy a new monitor for my work station, finally decided to go with a 2k Apple TB monitor, also considered Samsung alternative, but it doesn't have some of the features Apple added such as automatic brightness control and additional ports.
My decision was based on taking care of my vision, tvs simply aren't built to be viewed from a desktop distance, they are just too bright… they where thought to be used from a distance.
