Maybe on Comcast. When i turned off Cable TV, they sent a tech out to put a filter on the line so i get nothing. they tried charging me a service fee for it too.....
Becasue we as a society have determined that private enterprise can only exist at our discretion. Part of that discretion is making sure if you are open to the public, that you make reasonable accommodations for differently-abled. We then pretty clearly spelled out what those obligations are. If you open a business without factoring in these responsibilities, then i do not feel sorry for you if your model fails.
Even on a closed circuit riding a motorcycle at anything approaching highway speeds can in no way be considered safe because you are operating in a completely unprotected manner (vs a car) at speeds far beyond what could be considered safe for the human body. Its a DANGEROUS machine, more so when you operate it above 30 MPH. Im not saying dont do it, but dont pretend that its noble or necessary. You do it because your ego demands it, nothing more.
When will this total non-argument die? I can produce documents with equal speed on a PC as I can with a 'docked' ipad (obviously YYMV, esp regarding software stacks etc). Docked in this case means screen mirror to a 24" monitor on my desk via AppleTV and a bluetooth keyboard. Either you have to acknowledge that tablets can easily attach keyboards or you have to force the PC to be touch screen only to have a fair comparison.
How do you enter your engineering equations on a PC? Why do you think that entering equations (with the appropriate supporting software ) would be different on a PC versus tablet? What is the fundamental difference?
I agree that new tech has to prove itself, however, comment like 'they are toys' are not helpful at all to the discussion and ignore the HUGE amount of use-cases tablets excel at.
We arent defending the 'tablet'. We are pointing out that CHEAP mobile devices are going to be EVERYWHERE. We need to learn how to use them to teach with, not force a desktop paradigm because its familiar. Tablets are not toys, you are a fucking luddite if you think that. Its a portable screen with a big battery, light local processing and huge hooks into 'big iron'. If you cant see how incredibly powerful that combo can be when applied correctly then you are missing the entire point. Dismissing tablets as toys shows your serious lack of vision.
THe whole point of this exercise is that we should ALL be equal. You do not need to apply metrics to find value in a human life. There is no man that ever lived on this planet that is my superior as a human. We are all equal humans. Fame, fortune do not a human make.
i propose that motorcycles should be illegal on public roads. If we force people in steel cages to wear seat belts, then why do we allow people to ride on a bare motor with wheels and a seat? Its an unsafe contraption that has no place on public roads, given current safety policy.
Challenger and Columbia were GOVERNMENT run programs, funded with taxpayer money, this is a private venture. Public opinion is FAR Less influential on this then the cluster fuck of the NASA-Congress relationship. Vast sea of difference.
His first trip was almost a one way journey and it would have been if the Americas didnt happen to be there. If the Americas didnt exist, Columbus would have died somewhere around where St. Louis is, trying to reach India.

The tablet should be ready to go. Asus was going ot release it months ago as their own until google decided it would make a great vehicle for them.

I know its a hack but for my own video collection i use a Synology NAS and their ipad app to stream content to my apple TV via airplay. Works great

How do you back it up?

Ownership doesnt sever at death, it transfers to your kin.

Logical diarrhea. Removed wisdom teeth have no value after being removed. A properly removed liver is valuable in the extreme.
I can never understand humans who can only value themselves against other humans. IN a universe full of inanimate matter, each one of us is a god.

If it takes $50,000 to remove a kidney, then its worth AT LEAST that much. Why should all the profit go to the doctor?
Everyone else in the chain gets paid, why shouldnt the donor?

A moon based telescope would be a downgrade from what we have now and what we have coming up next.

Only fools and Achilles worry about their name resounding through history.
Ive thought about that a lot. Its a valid concern, but not enough to stop us from going. Who is to say we arent to be the seeders of the Cosmos?
I'm having a hard time grokking this......
