Indeed. If you want stability on ice, you don't buy something with a high center of gravity. 4-wheel drive or no, I have seen more SUV's in ditches this winter than any other type of car. And no, I haven't seen any pickup trucks in the ditch, though that could be because unless it's a *really* deep ditch (which doesn't happen when they're full of snow), the pickup truck could get itself out.
Of course, for snow/ice performance, no amount of traction control/skid control/4wheel drive/etc. can compare with getting winter tires on your car, and not driving like an idiot.
You do know that they're shipping the things with Debian? You have an X Server, and SSH out of the box, and if you'd rather set it up as a thin client using XDMCP to log in to another system, set up your login screen to do it.
Indeed... just like in beer, Australians are smart enough to export the crap and keep the good stuff at home... (does anyone seriously think Foster's is good? o.O)
The only way that gun legislation is going to get off the ground in the US is if they catch a new form of weapon, say directed energy weapons, before they catch on and legislate them. And even then, it's still going to take a hundred years, and depend very heavily on the new form of weapon catching on well enough to make slug throwers obsolete curiosity pieces.
The irony is... the actual Boston Tea Party, from which the Tea Party takes its name, was actually protesting against lower taxes. The difference was that the government actually had the audacity to actually try to enforce those taxes....
Those who do not learn from their history, and all... it's amusing how that little tidbit seems to be completely unknown among the so-called Tea Party people....
They have two data addons available. One is $25/mo for 2GB, flat rate. The other is a flex data plan, which starts at $5/mo. The tiers for that one are: 25MB, 100MB, 300MB, 1GB, and 3GB, increasing by $5/mo between each tier, only jumping from $20 to $30/mo between 1GB and 3GB. Both of the data plans are $0.02/MB ($20/GB) for overage, making the flat rate plan a viable option only if you plan on using between 1GB and 2GB/mo. That is the "plan". You can, however, install an app on your phone which keeps track of data and cuts you off when you go over. You can also ask them to cut you off when you reach your limit. They will happily do that for you, but you have to ask them to set it up on your account. The reason it's not set up like that by default is quite simple: you're not left in the cold if you need it for an emergency.
If you want a plan that simply cuts off when you have spent your monthly limit, why don't you go on a prepaid plan? You give them a set dollar amount top-up every month, and when you reach that limit, that's all she wrote. Your phone stops working until you put more money in the till. Added bonus: if you don't use your monthly limit in the month, it carries over to next month.
Perhaps you could maybe look into what they're offering, before you say that something's impossible. What you're asking for is very easily doable.
The problem with trying to explain a concept like budgeting is that most people just don't get it. Those that do are probably already doing it for themselves.
Personally, I work flex into my budget. Case in point, most months my data usage is low enough to stay on the $5/mo tier with my cell carrier, but I budget as though I am one tier higher, that way I usually have a surplus at the end of the month. I do this in a lot of areas (budgeting more on gas than I'm spending, more on food, etc.). It's only fixed monthly expenses like my Internet bill or the mortgage that actually have the bill price listed on the monthly budget. It just makes sense, and gives you a better picture of how much you can actually spare. And in a strange way, that's exactly what people are doing by buying large data plans: they're budgeting more than they need, so that if for some reason they do need more, they can spend it without worrying.
And yet... I manage to stay under 25MB/mo most months.... It depends on what you use it for. My data gets used for e-mail, and calendar/contact syncing and that's it. With my carrier, $5/mo buys me the lowest tier of their flex data plan, and I'm set. My cell bill came to $40 last month (150 anytime minutes, 5pm unlimited evenings/weekends, unlimited long distance, unlimited global texting, call display/voicemail, and data), how much was yours?
Not everybody wants data so they can check their Facebook and Twitter every 5 minutes.
It's also cellular data that they're talking about. Anybody who would watch Netflix 24/7 in high definition over a cellular connection needs to have their head examined. (you did notice that the link to the "data usage calculator" was for the wireless calculator, right?)
Over a wired connection, the rate is significantly more reasonable. But it wouldn't make as interesting a sensationalist headline.
Assuming "he" exists, he probably has better things to do with his time than worry about some carbon-based life form on one of billions of planets in one of billions of solar systems that makes up "creation"....
Personally, I like the pagan version of it... yes, gods exist, no they're not omnipotent, they're certainly not perfect, and Yahweh is a self-absorbed twat with delusions of adequacy. The best analogy I ever heard was that he's like the cheerleaders in high school... petty, vindictive, cliquish, and vain.
The world *is* producing enough food to support the current human population. The problem is that it's being produced in the wrong places. You have breadbasket countries like Canada and Russia with far more food than they need for their own people, and you have dustbowls like central Africa undergoing major multi-year droughts and unable to produce enough for their own people. While some items would spoil in transit and can't be shipped, it's really a question of political will and economics that prevents us from sharing the food around, not inability to produce it.
Seiken Densetsu 2 (also known as Secret of Mana) came out 2 years before Chronotrigger... and there were games in the Final Fantasy series that did a really good job of that before the Seiken Densetsu series was even imagined. Dragon warrior, too. There were games on 8-bit Nintendo that had both good story line, and fun gameplay, and I'm pretty sure that if you went digging for them, you could find games that did a pretty good job on even older systems...
Hell, I have fond memories of playing Riddle of the Sphinx on the Atari 2600, and enjoying both the storyline and the gameplay, and that game came out in 1982, fully 13 years before Chronotrigger....
Diplomacy would be a better move... It's quite likely that Canada could achieve his release through diplomatic channels. Or at least, it was quite likely before the current administration took over.... Now, I'm not so sure. But going to war with Iran wouldn't achieve anything, nor would it be a particularly intelligent move. Far more people would die.
Part of the problem is that this person is a dual citizen. He's both Iranian and Canadian. If he had renounced his Iranian citizenship when he got his Canadian citizenship, we would't be having this discussion, because he would have been extradited to Canada 3 years ago.
I live in Minnesota. We're presently at -12C with a forecast low of -21C tonight. If this is what you call a warmer Earth you could have fooled me. However, I for one would very much welcome a warmer Minnesota--during the winter at any rate.
Global *averages* are rising. And by the models I've heard it means that winters don't necessarily get warmer (yet), but they get shorter. I live in Ontario, and I can remember having snowball fights before Hallowe'en when I was young. This year, we didn't start getting lasting snow until mid-December, and we have had winters in the past few years where we didn't get lasting snow until mid-January. It still gets down to low temperatures (it was -35 here this morning, with the wind chill factor... -21 without), but it does it less often, and it doesn't stay cold for as many months. It's "good" for northern latitudes (for varying definitions of "good"... the reduction in permafrost is wreaking havoc on the transportation network in northern Canada, as we discover that some of the landing strips on fly-in communities are in swamps), but it's really bad for those in equatorial latitudes.
Indeed. Back in the 50s they started telling the world that all fat was unhealthy. People started eating low fat foods, and instead going nuts with sugary drinks/foods, refined carbs and fries. I hate when something says "low fat!" on the front, but it's like 50% sugar. Who cares about the fat content then?
Yogurt is perhaps the biggest offender on that list. Real natural yogurt usually has a fat content somewhere between 4.5% and 6%. It may be higher, but it is difficult to actually make the yogurt with lower fat content, because it doesn't have the critical mass needed to thicken into something you can eat with a spoon. When you see a yogurt with 2% or lower fat, it's thickened by adding corn starch after the fermentation is completed.
And as others have pointed out, the corn starch and related sugars don't trigger the "I'm full" feeling, so not only are you consuming more calories, you're consuming calories that your body won't recognize as having been consumed... it's less filling and higher calorie density.:(
How may religious people do you hear saying "Maybe my God is not the real God, maybe yours is." Not very many, in fact I think it is actively discouraged by the various reference texts that these cults consider required reading.
Actually, I hear quite a few saying that. You haven't spent much time around the pagan community, have you? Most of them, the ones who believe in gods at all, believe that there's many of them, and that each have their own strengths and weaknesses. With that understanding, it goes without saying that exploration is encouraged. Everybody has their own path to walk, and must come to their own conclusions.
Until someone comes up with a religion that says it is OK to believe in "all the gods", your statement is nonsensical
Been there, done that. There are religions which state that it's ok to believe in "all the gods". There's also religions which don't care whether you follow a god at all. Perhaps you should set aside your obvious prejudices, and do a little research before you make yourself look like a complete moron.
Posting up here, because it's quite a bit of scrolling before you see answers that don't have something to do with peoples anti-religion bigotry. I do not care what your beliefs are, nor do I think it's my place to comment on them when replying to a technical question.
Why don't you set up a guest wifi? Have the internal wifi that's for your private network, and a guest wifi where you publish the key for people to use, but set up a rule so it's only enabled on Sunday from 7am until 1pm? That should cover the Sunday school's hours, and it won't be there at all during the week, when you don't want people accessing the wifi. It will also segregate your internal network from the wifi you're providing for people to use, which will help secure your private files, or any fileserver you're running.
And if you're hosting some kind of event, like a Parish council meeting, where you want to give people access to the 'net, just turn the guest wifi on manually during the event.
It'll be cheaper, and easier than setting up a catch-and-release system, as a fair number of wireless routers have that ability these days, and if it doesn't, you could always install Tomato or DD-WRT to have access to it.
I really hate to side with the Mac user, but he's right... his Mac *is* far more open than Windows, and has *far* more support from Apple in installing an alternative OS than Microsoft ever gives.
That, however, is because Apple is a hardware vendor, and they throw the OS in on the side. Microsoft is an OS vendor. It's not in Microsoft's interest to allow you to install something different, but it *is* in Apple's interest to give you that option.
iOS != OSX. They have a similar core, and come from the same people, but they serve entirely different purposes.
If user can disable it, then computer program can too. Nevertheless, it isn't even a problem because Linux and Android has majority of market share on ARM-based devices, so just choose them!
Not with a properly written BIOS. A proper BIOS cannot be modified by the operating system at all, and requires you to boot directly in to it. None of its data is stored in OS-accessible address space, and it should turn itself off as soon as it has turned everything over to the OS. Many of them don't work like that, but there's no reason that they couldn't.
If you would prefer not to trust software, you could also use a physical hard switch. Many Chromebook laptops have such a switch... you need to remove the battery and flip the switch in order to unlock the boot sector so that you can install a different OS.
There's ways to make it so a user can disable such a lock without having it possible in software. It's just an engineering question, and one that has been answered several times already.
They'll never have a complete monopoly, despite their best efforts. There will always be vendors like Genesi who sell ARM-based products without an operating system, and who don't care whether it works with Windows, as long as Linux works.
No, I don't work for Genesi. My closest affiliation to them is that they have provided some free hardware to the lead developper of my favourite distro, so that he could tweak the installer so it would work on their stuff. That said, I am considering buying one of their nettops for use as an HTPC, if it has decent video playback capabilities.
That said, it does depend on context, and in which situations they're trying to lock down. If they want to lock down a phone, I don't really care. While I appreciate that some folks want to root their phones and install extra stuff, I have yet to encounter a need to do that on my own phone. It's moot, because I wouldn't buy an MS phone anyway. If, on the other hand, they want to lock down an ARM-based PC like that, and prevent people from installing the OS of their choice on the hardware that they have bought, I have a problem. Even if I wanted to stick to Windows on my computer (I don't, except my gaming machine... every other computer I own, including my main system, runs Linux), I think it's really bad juju for them to prevent people from having the choice on a platform like that.
All 3 of those are either a smaller screen than I would want for it to be useful, heavier than I would want it to be, or significantly thicker than I would want it to be. I am typing this on a laptop that is about half an inch thick when the lid is closed, and which tips the scales at about 3lbs. And it has a 13" screen. Match those base points while giving me a convertible screen like the ones you link, and you'll have a product I would actually be willing to spend that kind of money on, as long as the hardware spec still gives me a usable laptop.
I'm not really asking that much here... a touch screen isn't significantly thicker than a standard LCD display, and at most it might add 1mm to the thickness. It should be a simple hinge redesign to convert the form factor on my current laptop into one that would allow the screen to close with the glass facing out, and the hardware that's in my laptop is plenty powerful enough for what I'm talking about: it's a celeron 1.2GHz dual core, 2GB of RAM, and a reasonably sized hard drive. It gets about 4h of battery life, and that could be extended by changing the hard drive for an SSD... there's no technical reason that what I want can't be done, just that nobody has one.
In all seriousness, did you even bother searching?
Did you bother reading what I said? The screen is smaller than I said I wanted, it weighs more than I said I wanted, and it is more than twice as thick as the laptop I'm typing this on right now.
