The fitbit is in my pocket frome when I get dressed in the morning until I get home and go pants free. The cellphone lives on my desk while I am at work.
So the cellphone utterly sucks at counting my steps while it's on my desk.
if he stops paying taxes, he has t start paying for firearms to fight off the police and other government officials. Far cheaper to pay the Extortion... I mean taxes.
first hit after googleing "Cellphone for a small child"
a child can easily learn that press 1 for daddy, 2 for mommy, 3 for grandma and if mommy needs help press the big red hand and tell the lady on the line our address.
Otherwise for his wife there are a TON of systems that are panic buttons designed for people who have siezures.
So, what does the question asker have against all the existing options?
It depends, the typical Miller Lite drinker doesnt know any better. but then they also think "el Toro" tequila with the little sombrero hat cap is "good stuff", I've tasted kerosene that was better.
Linux is starting to get the "feature creep" crud that is making it a mess. the nice part is we still have some choices to avoid the things we dont like and it will create a split like Linux and BSD but inside linux it's self.
You have been able to get a free license for over a year now. Just sign up for one and select "personal" for the use and you get a free license emailed to you.
So now they have a generic license that you dont have to request.
Drug traffickers like most other criminals are pretty darn stupid. The smart ones the cops never catch, because honestly the police are not the brightest. If the police hired smart people, they would question laws they are told to enforce and refuse to enforce the ones they thought were unjust... and we cant have that.
I will buy one. My question is it going to be EASY to purchase? It's at a price point that is trivial and if Ubuntu runs on it decently, then I will mess with it. But I tried ubuntu on the Nexus 4 and it was unholy horrible and chunky, so I cant see this lesser phone being better.
Yep. I would rather have a tablet the size of the 1st gen ipad that had 2X the battery so it could go 30 hours straight.
Problem is most americans are getting weaker and weaker so they need to make things lighter. The number of people that cant believe I carry around a 17" laptop, "Oh it's soooo heavy"....
Everyone a frail waif that can barely carry their own body weight.
"No, the truth of the matter is in your first paragraph. Designing and building a car is not easy."
Maybe to dumb people it's not easy. to the rest of us... yes it really is easy. It's a well defined and massively repeated process. An engine is trivial, a car suspension is trivial. a whole car is trivial.
When you add shit to it for the sake of adding shit.. That is when it get's complex. No I dont need a computer on my brakes. a computer to the side of my brakes looking for slipping and trigger a modulation piston to give me anti-lock? Sure. but if the computer fails, I will have brakes.
Idiot designers want to put the computer in the middle so all braking is done by the computer. When it fails you have no brakes.
Which is funny because my 2007 BMW X3 connected with everything including nexus 4 HTC M8 etc...
The problem is BMW is pulling a GM and having their own people make the electronics now and they suck at it. the older Telematics modules were far better, same as the becker/alpine radio systems.
The answer then is to not buy anything after 2007. Most everything previous to that is very well hacked and 3rd party documented so you can call it 100% your car as you can modify every part of it as you see fit.

It's worse than that. they take 50% if you accept a monthly payment over 50 years.
If you take a lump sum you get 50% that is then taxed at 50%.

Optomist...
$9,000 US dollars in 40 years will be about $5.00 US value. In fact a large Coffee at starbucks will cost $10,000
I have better odds finding a winning lotto ticket on the ground than if I buy one.
You enjoy your $1200 a month rent while I enjoy my much bigger place in a better neighborhood for $600 a month.
I am guessing that he did not look very hard...

Good Bourbon and Whiskey increase the QUALITY of life dramatically.

Like letting black people sit on the bus.
Or letting a woman cut her hair without her husbands permission, a real Michigan law.
Or arresting a kid with a joint on him and ruining his life with a criminal record.
But hey, you are the one that wants a cop to enforce all laws.
Sounds like a plan, so you are fully OK with being pulled over and given a $150 speeding ticket for going 1mph over?
I'll let your local police department know that you are happy to be cited for every single possible infraction.
Because the TV's processor is a very low end piece of crap and they send your voice to a server to process then they send back the command to the TV.
There are very few systems that can do good natural voice recognition on the hardware because it takes a LOT of processing power.
And it will have happy fun. Always with the happy fun good!
As well as the opportunities to scam the hell out of people. I have more problems on AliBaba than ebay with scammers.
They dont have any system in place to filter out the criminals, so it's a giant freaking mess.

Ahh I wondered when the resident Slashdot moron would come back out to troll me.
How you been?
He is probably one of those idiots that will tout the Beaglebone Black as superior....
A Raspberry Pi 1 will blow away a Beaglebone black in video playback or GUI rendering.

Everything is hackable... OnStar that has been in millions of GM cars is just as hackable using the EXACT SAME TECHNIQUES.
So if you have a portable cellsite that can spoof a cellular tower the device is looking for, you man in the middle it.
Nothing new here except that a bonehead in programming the whole system is using the same key over and over to make his job easier.
