Computers are things. It's always been an "Internet of Things".
"Internet of Things" is as stupid as if we suddenly started saying "highway of cars". It's both true and free of meaning at the same time... which I suppose is a weird sort of achievement.
And no, calling it HoC wouldn't make "highway of cars" any more hip. Just stupider.
Why would anyone interpret simulated expressions as genuine other than to delude themselves? And if you're willing to delude yourself, you could also just interpret apathy as caring. I don't understand how this is supposed to work.
Maybe the same reason that it's easier to suspend disbelief when staring at a TV show instead of a blank wall?
Because you could just imagine the action and adventure without any visual aid, but it's easier with one.
LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice, created when some core developers were worried with Oracle's lack of attention to the project. Some time after that fork, Oracle donated OpenOffice.org code and trademarks to the Apache Software Foundation to continue the project.
How does that disprove that it is the true descendant?
The damage was done... the fork was good and right. It's lovely that some attempt was made to right the ship later, but sometimes it's just too late.
The whole "ignore them and just pretend that we are the only real deal" thing didn't work at the time of the split, and it probably won't work now. It's kind of childish, really.
You mean, the US still has phones without SIMs? Locked to a carrier!?
No wonder cell-phone plans are so expensive compared to the rest of the world then. (When most things are cheaper in the US.)
Its sad. The US once led the world in antitrust law enforcement.
The point was that you can get voice and data with a SIM for around $30. I did. I do. It wasn't that hard to figure out how.
If there was that big a demand for it, it would happen more often. Apparently more than one factor is at work.
I really don't care, this is a private company and they can hire who they want to. That being said, I assumed dropbox already was infiltrated by the NSA.
Um... Obama is currently in charge of the NSA. And has been for over five years.
History bears this out. It's not pseudoscience. It's economics 101.
Economics 101 is that raising prices lowers demand.
Now, if you want to argue that it achieves something so good that lowering demand is OK, then go ahead. But you can't argue that it doesn't lower demand, because it does.

But my imagination never suffers from bad actors, dumb dialogue or terrible cgi.
Wow, really?
.... make it stop!

Wanted: People who are smart enough to work in tech, but dumb enough to live in an unsafe place.
They aren't actually going to live in Detroit, silly. They live in the suburbs.
Freedom of speech means that no government entity can go after you for the content of your communications, whether broadcast or otherwise.
Unless of course it has something to do with politics ("campaign finance reform").
Because obviously the founders wanted to protect nude dancing, not that nasty political speech.
You're close ... it's the "business" itself that is unworkable in this case . That's the common denominator.
"Do a bad idea ... but on a computer!" does not stop it from being a bad idea. It just digitizes the implementation of the damage.

Just simulate the whole face ... we won't even have to show up!

You mean, like T-mobile with a SIM?

Huh, if only "progressives" controlled the federal regulatory agencies ...
The ability to think logically and to analyze and solve problems would be highly useful.
If it can get people a smartphone for $30~ish a month voice and data. Then it will be cool and a game changer.

It's Obama's NSA that you are angry about. It's been Obama's NSA for over five years.
When's he going to resign?
I really don't care, this is a private company and they can hire who they want to. That being said, I assumed dropbox already was infiltrated by the NSA.
Um ... Obama is currently in charge of the NSA. And has been for over five years.
And you are paranoid about ... Rice?
The NSA really is out to get everyone! Except themselves, of course. That's private.
If only there were some way to rein them in ...
I've got it! "Progressives" could control the Executive branch for over five years. I'd love to see the NSA pull this stuff then!
.... summary ... is word salad ... my head ....
Because he's a Lefty.
And we must be totalitarian ... all life is politics, you know.
I think I misunderstood the point you were making.
Basically, raising minimum wage has always preceded a spike in unemployment.

We are indeed on the same page.
When someone that age still feels the need to brag and play the peacock.
God hid it.
God is made of it.
Okay, that's the god excuses out of the way... now on with the physics!
Which is more scientific because ... look, strings! I mean, alternate universes! I mean ... squirrel!
... I use Roku. I like it. I can't just try everything on the market.
Is there some compelling reason for me to try one of these other things?
Hello, Obama has been the man in charge of the NSA for over five years. He's the head of the executive branch.

It's a bad thing to let some light into a communist dictatorship?
Obama changed his mind, did Eich?
And you were foaming mad at Obama and wanted him to resign, before he "changed his mind".
Right?
What's that? No?
