Stand a little closer to the edge so us creative people can just give you a little push into the chasm of doom and get you off the resources we can turn into something wonderful.
My favorite pastime as I get older is throwing people who don't like change under the bus.
You work at a sad sad place. Discussions where I work circle around the next motorcycle release from BMW, What the one LeMons racing team next year is going to do (Yes we have our own team) and how bad the latest release of the Compilers and IDE are and how we really should revert back to the less buggy version and just not tell management.
Apple DOES let you do that, get the camera kit like you are supposed to, back when I had a starter DSLR that only shot 10 megapixels I did it all the time.
Now my new DSLR, I did not even try because why in the world would I want to load up my tiny 64gig of storage space with 24megapixel photos when I have 5 32gig memory cards on me. and 32gig cards are dirt cheap.
Oh and please tell me WHAT android tablet has a standard USB A plug on it for your camera, you seem to be making things up about your complaints. Every single android tablet I have owned, Nexus 7, Nexus10, you have to do major hacks to get the micro USB to act as a host, certianly out of reach for 99% of tablet users.
Lastly please tell me what this fetish is with the newbie photographers wanting their DSLR connect to the tablet? there is no good reason at all for it. Slow usb2.0 transfers take forever and a day if you think you will be showing a "client" the photo. if you really are desperate to look like inspector gadget, buy EyeFi cards and transfer them wirelessly, that way you can shoot RAW+JPEG and have the jpegs go to the tablet and have the RAW files for real processing later. If I really need to show a client a photo, I simply pull the 15" laptop out of my camera bag and show them. But I highly discourage this as those are raw photos and breaks the flow. They can see the proofs later when we meet and I have had time to deal with them properly.
the ONLY reason to use itunes is that you own an iDevice or want to buy from the Apple store. If you are not doing that, why the hell are you using itunes?
Yes. people go to their concerts or buy the songs from them, musicians rely on radio and streaming stations to get their music known and wanted by the public. If a station is making RECORD profits, then they must share that profit with the artists. nonprofits get to play all music for free as much as they want.
Step1 - Stop going to ANY restaurant or delivered food. All of it is utter crap, stop eating it. Step2 - Buy only foods that are from the fresh food section and meat section. Veggies+Meat and only dark brown breads with whole wheat/grains Step3 - download and install myfitness pal and do it religiously. Step4 - repeat.
The biggest is to abandon restaurants completely. Every place from McDonalds to a 5 star bistro only make low grade dog food. Stop eating that crap. This step alone will make a HUGE difference.
Most doctors education is lacking, Once the leave med school I don't see them going back for more education. My family doctor of 45 years graduated med school and became a GP in 1955, he even delivered me when I was born, and I saw him regularly until he died this past year. I know his education in medicine was way out of date but he was smart enough to refer me to a different doctor or specialist when It was needed. GP's need to do the same and refer patients to specialists that have more recent education that know about the treatments.
I know my doctor was the exception, he did house calls and worked until he died. I know he charged people what they could pay and refused to abide by the "minimum pricing racket" that the insurance companies and feds require. He became a doctor to help people, not to become wealthy. And he helped people all the way to the moment he died.
And yes the last 2 decades I drove all the way back to that small town to visit him as my doctor. Because I wanted a doctor that cared about people, not his Porsche. (He drove a Chevy btw...)
Like multiple DIES... the way we used to do it with P3 and P4... sadly Intel and AMD hate their users and only allow that on their server line where the processors are 4X the price and 1/2 the performance.
I will gladly pay for the motherboard to support 4 processors at 8 cores each, but I am stuck buying craptastic server class processors at extortion pricing.
FM radio stations all get to play music for free and in some cases they get paid to play it. Yet on the internet BMI and ASCAP turn into vampires sucking dry anything that is different.
The blame is The labels, BMI, and ASCAP. Those are the ones that deserve all your anger, ire, and hatered.
I need to upgrade every 2. But I am one of those guys that actually uses the computer. Programming, advanced mathematics, and HD video editing all demand the fastest processors or more and more cores. I have 12 cores right now and wish I had 18 or 20 as I could use the speed to get more work done.
They have had wireless charging for a decade for larger vehicles. the Golf carts at the local golf course have done this for at least 10 years. you drive on a rubber mat and the golf cart starts charging, Exact same thing for a car unless they claim they can charge the car from dead to full in 20 minutes, then I highly doubt it as inductive charging cant handle that much power in a wide air gap transformer (This is what "wireless" charging is)
""In our article, we describe how the complete concept of air gaps can be considered obsolete as commonly available laptops can communicate over their internal speakers and microphones and even form a covert acoustical mesh network,"
That is 100% wrong. XP is a pain in the ass to pirate and Windows 7 is the absolute easiest to pirate. Windows loader, one click and I'm done. Windows XP requires a mess to keep it from blacklisting the generated key.
You really need to learn about piracy before you talk about it, because windows 7 has a huge OEM hole that makes it effortless to crack. Windows 8 is getting about as easy to crack as well.
XP is not "dying" I have servers running Windows NT 3.51 that still make more money an hour than 100% of the people here on slashdot. and they are 100% secure because they are on a segregated and airgapped lan.
When you have something working and you have enough spare hardware to keep it working, why waste money and time "upgrading" simply because some idiots think you need to. Short of someone doing a "mission impossible" break in my servers are 100% hacker proof. Oh and here's a tip they ALL have the administrator password set as password1234.
They are specialized servers that can play back 16 broadcast quality MPEG2 streams into digital video in CATV headends. 16 at the same time all from a single pentium 1 processor and barely any ram. the playback cards play the video directly from the SCSI hard drives. The replacement today from Seachange are less capable and break down more. These require nearly ZERO attention and continue to run year after year just printing money for us. and we have enough spare parts to handle any issues and give us a year lead time if we ever needed to do a complete upgrade to current tech. If an OS if supported means nothing at all if you have sysadmins and network people that actually have a clue as to what they are doing.

but legit purchases come with tech support! That is what makes actually buying their software so worth it!
Why again? get "the last ripper" and keep those last FM tracks forever and ever and ever.

Every single old person with bad eyesight I have talked to LOVES IOS 7 because it's higher contrast and easier to read.
How did you come to your discovery? how many people did you talk to that used ios 6 and then used ios 7? Because my sample pool is about 20 people.
He said CHEAP. Nexus 10 is the same price as the base ipad.

Wrong.
In medicine it is fully understood that you can pretty much bleed any patient's wallet dry.
Exactly.

They already have that, It's called gastric bypass and liposuction. you dont even have to wait to lose the weight.

about 7.....
it drops to 3 when I go on a bender.
You forgot it requires Scientology application 3 times a day.
and far better articles than the New Yorker....
Really I DO read the articles...

"For decades, low skilled software developers have been able to play fast and loose,"
FTFY
Embedded system programmers are the only real programmers anymore.
Yes it is, If you knew anything AT ALL about computers or electronics you would know that. Go look up how audio pathways work in a computer kid.
