In my not-so-distant future, autonomous vehicles that aren't owned by individuals will become the norm. So Walmart would send their autonomous vehicle to deliver my goods. And I would swipe a credit card or some better form of verification would happen that would allow the car to deposit my package when the car arrives in my driveway.
how many are cost-cutting cord-cutters supposed to maintain at once?
One.
Rotate through the streaming services. Pay for a month of Youtube, then cancel it. Pay for a month of Netflix, etc. Most of the popular services have more than enough programming to keep you occupied for the full month. Doesn't work for Prime though, because you have to sign up for a year at a time. Bonus savings if you skip a week or two in between having a service active.
I also buy current seasons for a few shows I care about and get to watch them the day after they air. Overall, it's much cheaper than having cable.
I have the Voyage, and it does not have tactile buttons. It has force sensors with haptic feedback when it is pressed. You can adjust both the force required to turn the page and the intensity of the haptic feedback.
As far as I know, you cannot disable the touchscreen, but you can disable the force sensor "buttons".
You can dim the light very low, but unfortunately cannot turn it 100% off. I like it because it's easier than reaching for a lamp, and less disturbing if you are laying in bed next to someone trying to sleep.
Some other features I really like:
Navigation - it is easy to skim through pages and chapters without losing your place.
Long pressing a word pops up the definition, and also adds the word to a vocabulary builder that you can review.
They were given an early release dev unit. Apple is well within their rights to attach any terms to this. If iFixit had waited and bought it when it's released to the public, then there wouldn't be a problem.
I'm hoping it will be faster eventually, but right now it is slowing things down (American perspective, for other countries this might not be the case).
Almost all of the terminals I see now have both a slot of swiping and for the chip. Except some stores require you to swipe, the chip part doesn't work yet. And some stores require you to use the chip if your card has it. So you never know which one to use.
With swiping, you can usually do it while the cashier is scanning your items, which means my wallet is already back in my pocket and I just have to sign when they are done scanning. With chip, you have to insert your card and leave it there until the transaction is complete. The processing time before the card has been accepted is also noticeably longer than when swiping.
Most importantly though, I have never actually been prompted for a PIN when using the chip. It's always chip and sign.
Hello fellow Gainesville T-Mobile customer! The home I moved into about 2 years ago had poor reception, but I was able to get a free repeater from T-Mobile. Just call 611 and ask about it.
This will help if you're able to get a consistent signal at least one bar somewhere in the residence. Of course your luck may be different getting a free repeater since it's at your girlfriend's apartment.
The building I work in has very thick walls so I'm in the same boat as you there, but I just rely on Google Voice over WiFi to get me through that.
Aren't most motherboards sort of like this now? They come with a dual bios, one of which is read-only. If something happens to your writable bios, you boot from the read-only and copy it over to the writable bios, and then reboot from the writable one.
That site... it's hurting my brain. I don't know whether to laugh, or cry, or huddle in a corner and start sucking my thumb. Carbon HDMI cable
There are significant, audible differences between HDMI cables. We're not sure how this is possible, since HDMI is purported to be a purely digital interface, however, the sonic differences are repeatable and consistent from system to system. A better HDMI cable makes a better digital audio cable, period. This is as true for music as it is for movies.
In chrome, you can go to Settings -> Manage search engines and set up the same type of thing. I can type in "w alexander hamilton" to go directly to Wikipedia, or "i the hobbit" to go directly to IMDB.
One thing this chart doesn't take into account is how many other people would find the automation useful. That changes the calculation significantly, especially if it is something that could be sold to others.
However, for this particular question, the number of other people who would use the automated solution is likely zero.

Disclaimer: I could probably be classified as a Google fanboy, but I do not own Google Glass.
I think these types of arguments are silly, because they take an already existing issue and then pretend that Glass is the only cause. Seriously, look around the next time you're in a restaurant. There are always people pulling out their cell phones to snap a picture of their food or friends, and of course people they don't know will be in the background of the photos. This is really what you're worried about with Glass? This already happens.
Do you think that the problem will be worse with Glass? If so, why? And how much worse?
Slashdot Mirror
Wow, what kind of utopian future are you predicting where the companies who write tracking software properly support multithreading? ;)
I'm more interested in programming and electronics, not building bridges. That's why I set it to not at all civil.

So how long until card-not-present sales require two-factor authentication?

I can confirm that VS 2015 running on Windows 7 works fine, even though they don't advertise it.
I don't know, I got mine for free at OSCON ;)
Of course I'm running a Raspbian image instead of theirs, but the hardware is nice.
Actually, it's not that bad.
Google Photos app on the iPhone for pictures, and iTunes to transfer contacts and music will be enough for most people.
This was even available many years ago when I moved from the iPhone 3G to the Nexus S.
I think the point is that the salt takes care of uniqueness for the password hash. There is no additional benefit of using both a salt and a UUID.

Sounds like the Air Force should release a video game. Congratulations Ender, you got a high score!
That'll be $20 dollars.
If you live in America, I think you're off by several orders of magnitude...
Yes, because usually prime ministers don't have any use for division.
Better feature - a hidden partition with separate passwords, similar to TrueCrypt.

I posted a comment on that article. There seemed to be a serious anomaly with the amount of Troll mods for that one article.
I am wondering if the gave Bennett unlimited mod points to use there.
