Really? I think they need it? where did I say that? I cant seem to find those words anywhere....Personally I think Cops should not even carry guns and should be required to be polite to people and actually do that "serve and protect" oath they take instead of being thugs.
They need to get off their lazy asses and WALK their patrol area and not just sit in a car playing angry birds.
Police have no right to have automatic weapons or military grade anything.
No, the USSR has changed over to nano-nukes, that require a 10 foot precision. Each missile now has instead 5 megaton rated warheads, 80,000-390,000 pound rated nano-warheads. when deployed they seek out every person and blows them up individually.
You ask ANY of the guys that are actually in the streets, or people that live in edge neighborhoods... crime is going up and going up rapidly. 99% of what you hear from your local,state or federal government is 100% BS to simply calm you down.
If crime rates are going down, then why is my local police getting military grade equipment and gear? Cripes for the last sports event here they had M16 machine guns in the open and wearing full military armor.
Those that know how to use them can really take advantage of it. I use mine daily in electronics engineering as I can quickly graph charge/discharge graphs etc.. In high math engineering like analog electronics, they have a lot of uses. and yes it's easier and faster for me to use the calculator than dink around in some software on the computer. Plus I can quickly test an idea in the time it takes someone to open their laptop and wait for it to come out of suspend.
Yes, this is not hard at all with an atmega processor. you can easily scrape off the stock processor in the innocent calculator and then wire up the new processor in place and write the software. Buddy of mine did this with a $9.00 TI calc, turned it into a model rocketery launcher with countdown and other features to do multiple launch sequencing.
The hard part is that they are insane on function placement, but you can not beat Casio for a good high end calculator for cheap.
I just wish someone would re make the HP programmers calculator. I need the Binary/hex/octal stuff more than anything else and all the calculators today just slap it on as a last minute extra buried in the settings.
And nobody in their right mind touches that crap. I have seen more Glocks with broken parts with less than 100 rouunds through them... Give me an all metal CZ75 or Desert eagle. If your pistol cant take 2000 rounds, be thrown at the ground and ran over with a semi truck and come up undamaged, it's a frigging toy.
The idea of a plastic gun only needs 1-2 shots. It's either an assassins tool, or a tool used to kill someone that has a better gun. Same reason we made and dropped a lot of single shot guns all over France in WW-II
IT is even pointless at that point unless you are sitting 5 feet from a 102" screen.
I have a 92" screen in my full blown theater and the front row seating at 10 feet from the screen I am at the edge of the human eyeball from being able to resolve that resolution. The back row can barely tell the difference between 720p and 1080p.
You cant get around physics no matter how hard "videophiles" want to.
This could be a good thing if they have a HUGE parallel farm for compiling. Let my app compile in 2.4 seconds on their supercomputer farm instead of taking 20 minutes here on my laptop would be a huge thing.
microsoft might be on to something if they eliminate the #1 time waster, waiting for a compile.
I have an old E62 here that was Charged 2 years ago and then put in the drawer off. I just turned it on and it's still charged, in fact 80% charged. if the radio was turning on for ANY reason it would not have that much battery left.
Let's check another... Old unused iphone 3S here IT also still has 80% charge after sitting for a year unused and off.
and yes they BOTH have a sim card in them. AT&T loves sending out new sim cards every time you get a phone.
But let's go further, With the radio OFF there is no power for the magical sim to run it's software. Yes I have done some GSM hacking and on every single phone I have tested there is 0.00V going to the power pads on a SIM card when the phone is switched off. I have made a thin flexible ribbon to slip in between a sim and it's phone contacts to sniff what is going on between the sim and phone to create a unlocker for phones that had issues being unlocked. with all those wires brough out you can see there is no voltage there. and when you power up a SIM on it's own it does not look for devices to talk to. They are passive devices that require the phone radio hardware to talk to it and get information. Some had a java engine in them for encryption use, but those have not been common for nearly a decade.
I am glad you think I am unethical. It makes me happy that I upset you.
It's how I do business and I make a LOT of money doing it. It seems my customers understand it and dont have a problem with it. In fact I have a waiting list for customers so even new ones dont have a problem.
I have been in Best buy 3 times in the past year, and each time was to look at an item, I left without buying it because their prices are too high and I don't like getting assaulted by know nothing sales people. Then they have the fricking Dish network people in store that pressure sell you about their crappy service.
So I looked at the item and bought it on newEgg from my phone on the way out of the store.
They could have killed/bought redbox and netflix easily. But the Executives at Blockbuster are still too stupid to realize that they had to change models. I guarantee they still deny they did anything wrong.
If you are only looking at next quarter, then as an executive you are a complete and utter moron.
It's called, "DONT FUCKING MAKE CHANGES AT THE LAST MINUTE OR IT WILL COST YOU DEARLY" Clause. And it's highly effective, Around here contractors will charge 4X the rate for any changes after 50% completion as it will require demolition and redoing work.
forcing the customer to decide what they want at the beginning of the project and not go off on "Ohh can you make everything blink? I love blinking things!" crap because they a re bored and have meetings about meetings to come up with new things to add to the website.
You dont get a realistic budget if you cant give me a realistic scope of work and design.

Calculator software is not hard to write.

All laws come with an expiration date? WE have so many bad laws on the books that time could erase... Like the DMCA, PATRIOT, etc....
They will encrypt all of them soon. Every single channel will be encrypted and they will force you to go to their craptastic box.

Nope all that happens while I compile... Granted I compile after every line of code I add.....
Add the fact that you can not sue the government unless you get permission from the government to sue them.
Yes this is a real thing.
Sovereign immunity is a real bitch.

No it's because of whiny babies that dont want fat phones.
This is 100% bullshit.

not all SIM cards have a java engine in them. AT&T's latest do not.
No they dont.
There is no Operating System on your cdrom drive. it has a firmware running a very specific task, There is no operating system on it.
I am tired of people calling everything an OS, it's not.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system
You do not run other programs on your CD Rom drive.. it runs it's specific software on the bare iron without an OS.
Your phone's radio does not have an OS, I think the poster needs to learn about embedded systems and what the firmware in these things do.
That is too complex for most users. Seriously.
most people are so stupid they cant even understand how to plug in a USB device.

Absolutely! I would love a Cyber arm... I would walk around doing the "dead or alive you are coming with me" trick to the local punks.
