I would be much more willing to entertain this if I could run a copy of the AI locally to make sure the answers I got out matched the questions going in. Otherwise it will be nothing but a mechanical turk; a mechanical mask over a person of secret influence.
Computers currently use the dot in a domain name to determine whether the machine is on the local network or not.
What if I made my machine name 'search''? Would I get all the traffic intended for the 'search' dotless domain? Would people be unable to resolve via my hostname at all, getting google whenever they tried to get to me?
It's an ergotron neo-flex with a mini-tower and a vesa-compatible monitor on the front. It's a computer that I can put away every day.
I used to have gaming laptops for this purpose, but I got tired of them dying heat deaths. I can upgrade the monitor and processing parts separately, and use whatever peripherals I want.
The point of images with text over them is to provide an expressive context for the words. Words by themselves are dry, with the only indication for tone available the punctuation at the end of the line.
Punctuation is ridiculously limited! There are whole ranges of emotions and nuance that can't be captured with a period or a bang, sarcasm for example! Many times I've watched someone be sarcastic in text and have it totally miss the mark, because they fail to express the tone required to indicate sarcasm!
When we talk face to face, we use nonverbal queues to provide context for the words we are saying, image macros (not junkweb, they're called image macros and have been for years) are the face saying the words, the expression and the nuance, and this makes it so much more engaging than simply typing the words and ending with a period.
They will only have ruined the hardware if they make it impossible for us to flash new ROM into it that allow us to entirely take control of the device.
My xbox 360 just recently broke, which is a shame because my son was enjoying some of the arcade games I downloaded and it was my only dvd player.
I assure you that I would very much like to have a 99 dollar xbox 360 with a kinetic, the kinetic will go on my computer, the new xbox will play my dvds and arcade games, and microsoft will lose money on me.
This is tremendously lazy on their part. They could have a group header for things that are 'Netflix Exclusive' populated and propagated in less time than it took me to write this post!
Easy, Netflix could begin financing new films themselves and promoting them, until people begin joining netflix to get at the new series, then staying for the amazing catalog.
Besides, the vast majority of AAA movie titles are garbage anyways, date filler and explosion porn over and over.
I think this is a move in line with Chrome OS. They want to make sure they don't have to pay anyone in order to distribute this as an operating system.
As a proud owner of a CR-48, it IS a nifty little device and Google's first stab out into the desktop operating system realm. It only makes sense for them to rely on their wholly owned solutions rather than entrapping themselves into paying a royalty fee to distribute it.
Whence Chrome OS goes, desktop Chrome will follow, the two are designed to have a completely uniform look, feel, and function, in essence not being two at all but simply different aspects of a single whole.
I would sincerely like to see plastic wrapped bands of living muscles grown in a power plant. A million muscles all pulling levers, turning turbines to produce electric power.
Then, when they're ripe, EAT 'EM.
The same technology could then be used to make robots, a skeletal form with bands of muscle installed. If the muscle becomes damaged, pop them off and eat them, then replace with a fresh, strong band. Imagine an edged weapons sporting event, football with swords, with the used muscle processed and served at a Meet n' Eat the team event post game!
If the price point is low enough and the concept blurb sounds interesting, I'll sometimes buy a game sight unseen on steam. Sure, this has gotten me a couple stinkers, but then I'm just out the two dollars that I might have easily have blown on a disgusting energy drink in a shiny new can (I'm a sucker for those too).
The difference is that, while my kidneys will turn the energy drink into a fruity scented memory in just a couple hours, the developer has the potential to fix the issues with their game later on, so maybe I try it again later and find out that it's not so bad anymore, then get a couple of my friends to buy it too.
I immediately thought of what it would look like with a pair of thin bicycle tires between the ankles, and additional tires (and supporting enhanced robotic arms) strapped to my forearms. Make the exo suit into a full body resting couch, then skitter across concrete like a water bug in a pond.
Crap like this is why my family doesn't even -have- a working printer. Instead we print the natural way; bring the file to work and print it there. Plus it's free!
Seriously though, once tablets are more or less ubiquitous in a professional office it will trickle down to the point where they're giving the ink away for free just to sell a printer again.
I just called my local branch of the ALA and it turns out this article is mostly scaremongering.
As it was described to me they are pushing for two things currently;
Prohibit the sale to those under the age of 18. and Investigate the safety of the ingredients.
They're not trying to blindly take away your e-cigs, they're pressing for things that are actually rather reasonable. The person I spoke to stated that they are NOT pushing for a blanket ban, only a request for testing with decisions to be made after official, legitimate research has taken place.
Seeing as how I want an ingredients list and some sort of quality control on the stuff I'm puffing on right now, this is directly in line with my own interests as an e-cigarette user.
Could be the fact that hard drive based players are so easy to kill, leading to a lot of warranty returns.
I had a hard drive based player, the iRiver H10, and I loved it up until the day it fell out of my opening car door and became a brick. I can drop kick my current player across the room without it missing a beat because it's flash based!

I'm really glad I took a 'wait and see' approach with this thing. Now Roku is back at the top of my list.

I think this sums it up nicely

He's implying that if apple thought it could make a buck off of it, they'd take the option to turn it off out.
I think your ideas are dangerous, so rather than debate them, I think we should just smash your hands to jelly with a masonry hammer.
That will save so much time, and won't hurt me in the slightest.

Yeah, blacks, get to the back of the bus. Don't you know you're breaking the law?
Don't give me none of that 'civil disobedience' crap, you're breaking the law!
Diaspora will never have a broad userbase, because everyone non-technical I've ever talked to about it hated the name and dismissed it on that basis.
No problem. My sons aren't in boy scouts because I believe that bigotry is wrong and I don't want my kids led by people who believe it is right.
It all works out!
I'll admit I didn't read the article. If it comes with a contract they can go fuck themselves.
This assumes I want Xbox Live Gold, right?

There's no downside.
He's not trying to outfit a house. He's trying to outfit an entire amusement park.
The scale is slightly different.

Looks like they've already used it against the article host! That's government efficiency!
