xxx: OK, so, our build engineer has left for another company. The dude was literally living inside the terminal. You know, that type of a guy who loves Vim, creates diagrams in Dot and writes wiki-posts in Markdown... If something - anything - requires more than 90 seconds of his time, he writes a script to automate that.
xxx: smack-my-bitch-up.sh - sends a text message "late at work" to his wife (apparently). Automatically picks reasons from an array of strings, randomly. Runs inside a cron-job. The job fires if there are active SSH-sessions on the server after 9pm with his login.
xxx: kumar-asshole.sh - scans the inbox for emails from "Kumar" (a DBA at our clients). Looks for keywords like "help", "trouble", "sorry" etc. If keywords are found - the script SSHes into the clients server and rolls back the staging database to the latest backup. Then sends a reply "no worries mate, be careful next time".
xxx: hangover.sh - another cron-job that is set to specific dates. Sends automated emails like "not feeling well/gonna work from home" etc. Adds a random "reason" from another predefined array of strings. Fires if there are no interactive sessions on the server at 8:45am.
xxx: (and the oscar goes to) fuckingcoffee.sh - this one waits exactly 17 seconds (!), then opens an SSH session to our coffee-machine (we had no frikin idea the coffee machine is on the network, runs linux and has SSHD up and running) and sends some weird gibberish to it. Looks binary. Turns out this thing starts brewing a mid-sized half-caf latte and waits another 24 (!) seconds before pouring it into a cup. The timing is exactly how long it takes to walk to the machine from the dudes desk.
There are several factors to consider when it comes to selling call options. Be sure you fully understand an option contract's value and profitability when evaluating a trade, or else you risk the stock rallying too high.
Call options are a type of derivative contract that gives the holder the right but not the obligation to purchase a specified number of shares at a predetermined price, known as the "strike price" of the option. If the stock's market price rises above the option's strike price, the option holder can exercise their option, buying at the strike price and selling at the higher market price to lock in a profit. Options only last for a limited period, however. If the market price does not rise above the strike price during that period, the options expire worthless.
Buying calls is bullish because the buyer only profits if the price of the shares rises. Conversely, selling call options is bearish because the seller profits if the shares do not rise. Whereas the profits of a call buyer are theoretically unlimited, the profits of a call seller are limited to the premium they receive when they sell the calls.
So the other day I was talking to a friend (he's a native speaker by the way). We were talking about a certain subject when I said "How do you call that Gerry?", How do you say when someone is doing this or that and etc..." And every time I'd use "How" he would correct me and say it's "What" not "How", "It's what do you say, what do you call". Why was I wrong? I think many people don't know this.
Call in the sense of identifying someone or something by a name or term is a complex transitive verb, in that it requires both a direct object and an object complement to communicate the meaning. The someone or something being identified is the direct object, and the name or term is the object complement. When asking a question with call, you are asking what the name or term is.
A fixed layout shows the same layout regardless of screen size, and a fluid layout stretches or shrinks the same layout proportionately. What would you call a layout that changes depending on screen resolution?
I think these two, and perhaps others, get conflated among some learners. Also, how do you call would be the literal translation of the same question in various other languages, notably Romance languages, e.g. Cmo se llama esto? Like saying touristic, however, it is a distinct marker of an ESL/EFL speaker.
Another form you may come across is how to say X, something I have used myself in forum thread titles, for example. I would not actually say this, or use it in most writing, even informal writing. In a title, however, it would be understood to stand for could someone instruct me how to say X or I would like to know how to say X.
When your code breaks (i.e., when an exception is thrown) the Stack Trace Window will show you all methods that have been called prior to the method that raised the exception, including the parameters for each method and the state of these parameters. This makes debugging easier, especially in more complex call graphs (that is, when you cannot determine by looking at your code who called what other method/property/function).
Just try it, place a breakpoint somewhere in your code (F9), run your code, wait for the breakpoint to be hit and then open the stack window. You'll see all calls up to the current line. You can double click each entry in the stack trace window and the cursor will jump right at it.
Each time you call a method, an entry is place on the "stack" for that thread describing the method and the parameters used to call the method. When the method returns, the method and it's parameters are removed from the stack. That's how the operating environment knows where to return when a method finishes. It just removes the top entry from the stack, cleans up any local variables that were created during that stack frame, and returns to the previous method. (That's over simplified, but generally the idea.)
To the developer, the practical purpose is to help you understand why your program is in the state it is in. Whenever execution of the program stops in the debugger, either by breakpoint or by an exception being thrown (depending on your Visual Studio settings), you will have access to the current stack. Remember that this stack doesn't show ALL methods that have been called up to this point. Any method that completed was removed from the stack. It's not a log.
You can double click on any of the entries in the stack to go to that source code (if it's available on your machine). While you're there, you can inspect local variables, etc. It's a kind of detective tool to help you figure out what has happened in your program up to this point.
When debugging in Visual Studio, you can navigate up and down the call stack to see what values your application is storing at different levels. It's useful in debugging how your application got to the state it is in.
The purpose of the call stack window is to provide you access to the full code path which got you to the current instruction. You can use it to navigate to previous function calls within the program, inspect local variables, parameters, etc ... It's an invaluable tool for determining why your code is doing what it's doing.
How would the pilot of Marine One identify himself to air traffic control without the President on board? Does it have an N-number? If anyone knows, I would like a specific call sign/N-number of any of the Sea Kings. In particular, how would a Sea King pilot flying alone identify themselves to air traffic control?
Marine one is the call sign of any of the (300+) United States Marine Corps aircraft carrying the President of the United States. So, if he's not on board, the aircraft reverts back to its original radio call sign.
In case you are asking about the Marine Helicopter Squadron One, you can find the ID from helis.com. HMX-1 uses the call sign 'NIGHTHAWK' usually, but this is prone to change depending on the circumstances. From the site:
In Korea, call signs changed on a regular basis; during the Vietnam War, squadrons might use the same call sign for more than a year. Today, squadrons deploying to a combat zone,i.e. Iraq and Afghanistan, are assigned a "theater" call sign for use during that deployment only.
The actual mission number used in the identification will be assigned by the unit's planning and ops department, as jwenting said, and may or may not have any relation to any number painted on the aircraft.
That said, squadrons often perform the same mission repeatedly, which means using the same callsign prefix, e.g. "Nighthawk" for the squadron you're asking about. That prefix is usually followed by a mission number, similar to an airline flight number.
However, some missions are unique and therefore do not need a number, and some missions (e.g. Air Force One and Marine One) always use the same number. The only hard rule is that there should never be two aircraft in the air at the same time with the same callsign.
The call number represents what the book is about and acts like the book's address on the library's shelves or stacks. Because books on the shelves are arranged in call number order, you will find books on similar subjects shelved near each other.
Read the call number from left to right. The first part of a call number, PR 8923, consists of a combination of one or two letters and a number that indicates a specific subject area.
Or you can use tools like the Library of Congress Classification Outline to get more specific subclassifications to browse, such as: BC for Logic; MT for Music Instruction and Study; QP for Physiology. (Note that these are still large categories, and depending on the size of the library where you are searching, you may be overwhelmed with results!)

The call to action is a key element on a webpage, acting as a signpost that lets the user know what to do next. Without a clear CTA, the user may not know the next steps to take to purchase a product or sign up for a newsletter and is likely to leave the site without accomplishing their task.
