I just feel I am constantly being fobbed off by the support teams on this and other issues ...

There is something wrong here right?

If so is there any sample codes available that could guide me through ?

I used the one at http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/KinectQuickstart/Skeletal-Tracking-Fundamentals

did not really work well with my codes .

Thanks

Anyone?

Why, in all the current NSA spying programs talk among our leaders (elected federal officals) and among all the well schooled journalists across america, is no one is discussing the NSA splitting closets installed at key Internet backbone endpoints across the USA?

These closets located in rooms inside of big privately owned (AT&T) Internet switching centers are under lock and key of the NSA and contain equipment which receives a split copy of the Internet traffic of flowing through these key Internet junctions. There are quite a few of these closets and they've been installed for a while (at least six years, possibly more).

And with the recent talk of the NSA Prism program, government leaders, journalists, and private business (Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook) claim that only a small amount of data is handed  over to the NSA. What, what, what? 

Why do the afore mentioned groups continually fail to mentioned the huge pile of data copied directly at Internet junctions which is parsed and sent to NSA server farms? Then NSA contractors write software to search through and categorize all this data. Why do these people think they need to build a huge new data facility in Utah?

Because they are running of space to store all this data, obviously. Do they really think that the NSA needs a new multibillion dollar facility just to store phone numbers, and times? No, they are storing a lot more data than that. The FBI's Carnivore program (which attempts to siphon off and store Internet emails with content and attachment) still exists, just under a different name and is operated by a Boeing subsidiary.

And finally, putting the phone issue aside to say no one is looking or reading at your email or your Internet text/voice chats, this is very disingenuous. This is a weasel way of hiding what is almost certainly being done. Yes, no one human being at the NSA is reading your emails and chats, that is the job for their custom software running at their server farms. Just because a machine reads your conversations rather than a human doesn't make it any less illegal.

Who should I contact to get a more detailed receipt?

(Sorry for the bad Photoshop of the guy's face. I was just trying to protect the innocent.)

It looks like Microsoft trained about 150 sales personnel (according to one of the participants) to flood the streets of Portland a few hours around game time for Saturday's Timber's match. They also showed in much fewer numbers the next day for the Thorns match.

I walked away from the stadium up NW 23rd quite a ways and found them out that far. It reminded me a bit of Tokyo where on every street corner in certain districts pretty ladies would try and entice you to come to their bar and buy them drinks. "Have you seen the new Surface tablet?", "Have you seen the new MLS app on Windows 8?", "Do you want a free hat?" over and over again block after block.

If you completed the survey they'd give you one of their "grass" hats. I suppose like many Sounders fans Microsoft marketing believes Portland is filled with meth-heads hence the "pot-head" hat. Maybe they were thinking the recent legalization of pot for general consumption in Washington also applied to Oregon? 

The promo was in concert with the MLS as they were trying to get folks to look at the "new" MLS Matchday Windows 8 Store App. I have to say the app is pretty good and I use it on occasion but I find I use the Android version on my Note II much more often. I surprised they weren't pushing the WP version of the app as it's just more convenient when at the stadium to catch up on MLS news rather than hauling around a tablet.

All-in-all I do appreciate Microsoft supplying jobs to so many in Portland. Certainly an "A" for effort. It's just sad that the product can't sell itself a little better or in a way that is less annoying.

Are there any good books out that will start from the very beginning of WP8 development?

Who's coming to build? This is more than a random curiosity

We already mentioned some of the new features introduced in EMET 4: Certificate Trust, mitigations improvement hardening, and the Early Warning Program. During our beta period we added new features and solved application compatibility issues that have been reported both externally and internally. Below is a summary of the changes and enhancements:

i intended to go to madrid with a colleague of mine and got us 2 tickets for the concert of Bon jovi on
27/06/2013 @ Estadio Vicente Calderón.

But sadly my colleague isn't able to come anymore.

So anyone interested to come with me, or want both tickets?

Leave your contact here, and i'll contact you.

Is it possible to pay for the Surface RT/Pro offer with a Masetro card? I know that payment for the  deal is listed as by Credit Card but I just want to clarify.

I am a Singaporean that just started working in Germany and do not have the chance yet to apply for a credit card. 

Yours sincerely

I just wondering if we need to bring our own laptops for the laboratories. My spare laptop has Windows 7 as its OS and I couldn't install VS for WP and Win8.

I am not too keen on bringing my main laptop to Spain.

I'll try a few more, thanks for any recommendations....   Cheers, davidRSB

Are there still academic tickets? I am trying to register with one as I am a student, but there doesn't appear to be an option to sign up for anything except the regular $2K price which I can not afford. (about 10% of my yearly income at this point...)

Thanks.
