There's also the videogame Omikron: The Nomad Soul. Bowie plays a support character, and some tracks from the album "Hours" are included here. An interesting cyberpunk action/adventure game.
Show me some science backing up this crazy belief that running with headphones is more dangerous than sitting on a sofa watching TV while eating a bag of chips.
We're comparing running with headphones vs. running without headphones, not running vs. sitting on couch eating junk.
Here's the study that produced the figures mentioned a few posts above. Headphones are definitely an extra risk. We may choose not to be worried by that risk and we can say it's small compared to other risks, but let's not say the extra risk is zero, because that's false.
It does have built-in GPS, and, according to the reviews I've read, phone synchronization is only needed for the initial setup and for installing apps. I still wouldn't buy the Gear S even if I had a Samsung phone, because it runs a proprietary Samsung OS called Tizen - I'm not thrilled by the idea.
Yeah, if you have a Samsung phone, the Samsung Gear S makes sense. Unfortunately, a Samsung phone is basically required to install apps. Non-starter for me.
I never wear headphones while running, whether I am training or running, no matter where I'm running.
On roads, it's just dangerous.
On trails, in a park or in wilderness, I'd rather listen to the environment.
In races, it's especially discouraged. You should pay attention to the pace of fellow runners, and you have to listen to any alerts the organization might issue.
I have run a number of marathons. The Sony Smartwatch 3 has great features, supports Bluetooth Smart for pairing with a HR monitor (I strongly recommend Scosche Rhythm+, by the way) and tracking apps, e.g. Endomondo.
I don't wear headphones or listen to music while running (by the way, race organizers discourage headphones during races). So I want a loud alert for intervals, in other words, I want a device with an external speaker, which the SW3 doesn't have. So I just use a Geonaute 510 tracker watch (el-cheapo European brand, but has a feature set similar to that of Garmin Forerunner 220) and Scosche Rhythm+ HR monitor.
DC Rainmaker has many and very comprehensive reviews of sport watches (smart- and non-smart), sports gear, etc.
I agree that an alternative religious figure probably existed, but I was talking about the existence of the purported biblical Jesus.
We can speculate a cult leader or preacher existed. We have no evidence that he did the deeds narrated in the Gospels. I'm all for historical curiosity. However, this small piece of information is not terribly relevant to faith and religion. In particular, it's not relevant to a claim like the one made by the AC to which I replied (the claim that we have evidence of Jesus' resurrection).
We have no physical evidence whatsoever and no reports of Jesus from the time when he supposedly lived. It's not believable that an agitator with such a strong following and influence could have lived in the Roman Empire and gone unrecorded. The Romans were serious record-keepers. The earliest non-Christian references to Jesus surfaced decades after the gospels, when Christianity was already a thing, and the gospels are obviously a fictitious tale.
One way to prevent Excel from automagically guessing how it should treat the pasted data is to set the destination's cells format to "Text" before pasting (rather than the default "General")
...and paste using the "match destination formatting" option.
One way to prevent Excel from automagically guessing how it should treat the pasted data is to set the destination's cells format to "Text" before pasting (rather than the default "General"). Then, after pasting the data, some manual formatting is necessary, but at least you won't get unwanted roundings, nonsensical string-to-date conversions, scientific notations, etc.
one thing you cannot explain away is how the Apostles died, fully convinced that what they believed is true.
Citation from a historical non-Christian source needed. Otherwise, it's circular reasoning.
Not to mention the whole host of evidence which is outlined in Josh McDowell's "Evidence that Demands a Verdict" work. Josh set out to prove all this hoopla about this Jesus guy was untrue.
No, that guy is an apologist, who had been a Christian minister for many years before becoming a writer.
Yeah, SoftRAM was sued and declared guilty because it did nothing (worse, it slowed down the system). Other products did at least try, but the increase in apparent RAM came at a great performance cost, which sort of defeats the point.
The bailout still has to go through a number of European national parliaments. There have been rumors about the Finnish parliament not ready to go ahead with this.
Sigh... It's frustrating how many people believe that money that was loaned into existence has no cost
That's not what I said. I was replying to someone who claimed Greece owed him money. That's simply false - the money is owed to a series of banks. Belgium (and other countries, including mine) irresponsibly guaranteed the loan. The debt is unpayable in the terms of the troika. That doesn't necessarily mean it has to be cancelled - the repayment could be postponed, the ECB could assume the loans, etc. but if we come to that and our governments have to take a hole in their budgets, let it be a lesson for irresponsible lenders and guarantors.
- Retirement age is a myth. Average has historically been higher than the EU. For example, Eurostat data for 2005: 61.7. Higher than the EU and Germany. - Huge military: maybe. I hope NATO doesn't bitch and moan if they downscale. Greece is at a key geopolitical location, sitting at the edge of the West's sphere of influence. - Public service: used to be true, not now that they have grinding austerity. The Greek people have paid many times over. - Tax enforcement: there's no discussion it has to be improved. In all fairness, it's nowhere as bad as commonly thought (with tax revenue at 39 percent of GDP). The standard VAT at 23% is crazy, by the way.
Irrelevant. The ECB could take care of that and become the sole creditor (admittedly that must be an exception, not the rule - it shouldn't encourage irresponsible lending and borrowing). My country is also a creditor to Greece. The fact that my government allowed private (bank) debt to become public is my government's damn problem, and I reject the so-called austerity in Greece because it doesn't work, because the debt is unpayable and because it is ultimately owed to irresponsible bankers. I support Greece's refusal of the troika's terms. Debt repayment has to be tied to the country's growth. If that takes a long time, let it be a lesson for the government.
I think of it as a relational database, SELECT A.HammerSales / B.HardwareSales AS Answer FROM
(
SELECT Sum(Amount) AS HammerSales
FROM SALES
HAVING Item='Hammer' And MonthOfSale='201505'
) A ,
(
SELECT Sum(Amount) AS HardwareSales
FROM SALES
HAVING Department='Hardware' And MonthOfSale='201505'
) B
It will not return zero if there are no sales at all for last month. It will return an empty dataset (i.e. no data).

Which is why the Apple Watch is a terrible choice for runners (no GPS).

There is zero evidence that he lived once, let alone again.
And... a minor clarification:

Nitpick: you mean Remote Assistance, not RDC.
What? +1 Interesting?
Don't know what parent means by "Remote Desktop" (RDS?), but it almost certainly has nothing to do with screen recording.

I am Belgian. Greece owes me, my wife and children over 3000 euro.
Sigh... It's frustrating how many people believe this falsehood. No, the money wasn't taken out of your taxes. The money was loaned into existence.
Bah. Invalid SQL of course. s/HAVING/WHERE as there's no GROUP BY.
I think of it as a relational database,
SELECT A.HammerSales / B.HardwareSales AS Answer
FROM
(
SELECT Sum(Amount) AS HammerSales
FROM SALES
HAVING Item='Hammer' And MonthOfSale='201505'
) A ,
(
SELECT Sum(Amount) AS HardwareSales
FROM SALES
HAVING Department='Hardware' And MonthOfSale='201505'
) B
It will not return zero if there are no sales at all for last month. It will return an empty dataset (i.e. no data).
The answer is not zero. The answer is "no data".
