So... which one you consider has been decided to be wrong on arbitrary grounds? The crime (for example, torturing someone to death) that was committed for whatever reason, or torturing that person to death?
Nope. With a resistive screen and a stylus you can actually select which pixel you are clicking. With capacitive screen and stylus, not so much... (but the movements relative to the original point are reasonably accurate).
The advantage of a capacitive screen is that you don't need a special technique to use it well, along with the multitouch, and scratch resistance. On a resistive screen you get accuracy (which allows clicking a specific link in a web browser without zooming in), and since you also have pressure sensitivity you can use it for drawing. And you can even implement hoovering.
And yes, my latest phones have been capacitive. Yet, the resistive screens had read advantages.
I believe that law enforcement catches as many criminals as it can afford to catch. There are probably millions of Americans who could feel a hand on their shoulder at any moment but the simple truth is catching a criminal creates a huge expense in many cases.
Considering the prison population in the USA in comparison to many other countries, the American law enforcement would seem to be rather well funded.
And if they were thinking about the consequences when they committed the crime in the first place... would they have?
And well... There's the problem. They were not thinking about the consequences. And harsher punishments don't make a difference. Punishment is a deterrent, but not one that scales well, if at all...
The 2010 OneNote is also pretty horrible (and since I have Office 2010 installed I'm mostly using it on the phone, and quite rarely the metro app, which works pretty well, but well.. I'm not a fan of the metro apps) The 2013 one, based on screenshots, looks more usable.
Since the items get synced there are some advantages when creating items on computer. Faster typing for one.
Tree Style Tab plugin (for example), the first thing I install after Firefox (or second). "You are about to close 332 tabs. Are you sure you want to continue?". Admittedly not all of those are actually loaded as I haven't actually clicked all of them during this instance of Firefox.
Even if Apple can unlock that data and eventually does so, think about how that might look to some people, who would NOT want their heirs/family/descendants to have the means to rummage through their personal data. You see this happen all the time--families of the deceased try to weasel their way into secrets and intimate histories of those who died. If all it might take is some lawyers and potentially dubious documentation to get around a dead person's privacy, then I would think twice about leaving any personal data behind.
Perhaps stating in your will that the content of your devices is private and they are to be [emptied / erased / reset] would be appropriate then. (Compliance rate would probably be rather high if there was an exception, such as a external hd with family photos to be copied to interested family members.)
The issue is that the methodology for the ranking is questionable, and the methodology changes from year to year. The exact same drop occurred in 2005, 2011, 2014. The issue about press freedom not being perfect still exists, but the story that things have changed is a false narrative.
Could be false narrative. Could be accurate. Nevertheless the ranking (or rather the significance) is worth thinking about.
It's worse than that. When you vote for a third party, one of the two parties still wins, and very likely it's the one from the party that is least aligned with your principles.
In other words, the lesson you're teaching the two parties is that they should encourage a third party to emerge that aligns somewhat with their opponent's typical voters....
So the party that lost votes does not want them back, but instead will encourage a third party to emerge on opponent's side? Are you sure that they will do this, and neither of the parties would be interested in gobbling up those votes, especially if that piece of pie would keep increasing. Considering the system, I think that a vote to the third party would be the loudest way to be heard. Even if you subscribe to the theory that only one of the parties has members willing to vote for a third party (as advocated in the quotation, doesn't make sense otherwise).
I guess he is primarily talking about the pollution from burning coal. ( For example: http://www.theguardian.com/env... , articles from across the pond also exist about this.). Not sure where the solar cost is coming from.
None of them are useful or worth while and there are always better 'real' applications.
Netflix. The only app I use. Then again the 'real' application is a webpage, so the competition is not that great. (Actually, once in a while also OneNote, but since I don't have the newest version of Office installed I don't know if the desktop application is better. The app is better than OneNote 2010.)
If you set it up to use the same background as on the desktop the transition is less disturbing. After tweaking the location of the little squares I find it usable, although not an improvement. I set a few updating columns to left, then a couple of columns of static icons related to different tasks and now along with the win+q (which doesn't open the whole modern UI anymore) can find/open stuff pretty quickly.
I still dislike the way right button is handled in the modern UI. Give me my context menus back. Unnecessary useless movements are unnecessary.
In addition the Wii U retains backwards compatibility, you can play WII games on it. Although, pretty much the only reason I am planning to get it is for the Marios, new and old.
Alright, point taken. However you were misattributing the joke. When stating that "The BBC is reporting[...]" it would be nice for the sentence to describe things that the BBC is reporting. Consider the beginning of the comment I was replying to: "It's ironic that the story would say[...]"
It's ironic that the story would say you won't find this issue with a Mac Book air.
Not really, that seems to be a non-article related Macbook Air promotion.
"The BBC is reporting that Dell's Latitude 6430u Ultrabooks have an interesting characteristic you won't find in any Macbook Air".
Surprisingly the words Macbook and Apple seem to be missing from the article.
Hold on, she was the victim here. SHe doesn't need to do encryption because at one point thre was this thing called the constitution.
Yes, she was the victim. However, there are ways of making yourself less likely to become a victim. This is what we are talking about.
So are you saying that if the files had been encrypted, they wouldn't have been confiscated, all of this would not have happened?
What else precautions one should make not to become the victim of one's own government? Is leaving home allowed? Is there a list of approved websites to visit?
You are making the case that the government is a bullying criminal. And while you can and perhaps should avoid getting the attention of a hooligan/bully/criminal, the government is at least in principle there for you. And in my mind this makes the situation completely different. One shouldn't bow to bullies, but having a bullying government is worse.
And yes, of course the files should have been encrypted. I wonder if they would have detained her in that case.
Without free Internet access, libraries today would be nothing more than useless repositories of books that no one wants to read. Libraries don't even have a monopoly on free Internet access, either: many coffee shops also offer free Wi-Fi.
Nah. All libraries are full of books I don't want to read. Yet, they seem to contain hundreds of books I do want to read. And I buy too many books. Perhaps some day more ebooks, but I feel like the ebooks should be cheaper than their dead tree equivalents.
As a sidenote: Not too many coffee shops offer free Wi-Fi and equipment to non-customers.

Perhaps you should uninstall it as it would remove the need to update it? (I've never seen a Bing Bar update)

Well, if you've already decided that you're an "average voter," then there's not much hope for you.
Most people are average voters... So are you advocating that all is lost?

The graphics are incredibly realistic, but the gameplay is frustrating and the plot just sucks.
The starting areas are not well balanced either. And there are too many pay to win elements.

Why? Why should ebooks be cheaper than dead trees? Are they less convienient? Do they wear out faster?
Some obvious points
And yes, they do have positive points also.
