Except most middle tier Android phones feature a 3.5mm stereo jack and microSD card expansion. A growing number are waterproof. So true of Samsung S8, A5 (2017), A3 (2017) and S7, Sony XZ and XZ1 lineup as well in fact for Sony going right back to the Z about four years ago no. LG do the G6 and V30.
The one thing that has disappeared and the market seems to have accepted is lack of removable battery.
Heck even Apple have succumb to the make it waterproof concept, so a top tier phone that is not waterproof in 2017 is seriously behind the curve. The lack of removable storage has been somewhat dealt with by providing larger capacities of internal storage and I predict in the future 200GB+ capacity phones will make removable storage go away across the entire market.
I also consider the lack of removable battery a sane choice for most people, as they can now go a whole day and often more on a single charge. Longevity of the battery is an issue but if those glass Li batteries make it to market then that will be a moot point too.
However I can never see the point in removing the 3.5mm stereo jack and I predict it is here to stay for a long time at least in Android land. I would not be surprised if down the line it makes a reappearance in Apple land too.
What's the sales figures for Android phones without a headphone socket? My guess is that phones with a 3.5mm jack wildly outsell those without. As for waterproof that has been an increasing trend in the Android market starting with the Sony Z four years ago. Removal batteries I will give you but the rest I would argue you are dead wrong the market has spoken and it's said all those features are important.
This is my personal favorite indication of climate change. The Sphinx snow patch in Scotland has melted only seven times in the last 300 years. They *ALL* occurred in the last 75 years, *FOUR* of those meltings occurred in the last 21 years.
SoGo for exchange, Samba for AD, and LibreOffice with Evolution for Office on Gnome3 would be a starting point. I would note at this point that a Windows system could quite happily talk to both SoGO and Samba and not really know it was not talking to a real Microsoft setup from the users perspective.
Just because *YOU* don't know what is out there does not mean it does not exist.
Why is the LIDAR drawing 140 watts? It can't be the laser itself because if it where outputting anything like that continuously that would make the system horribly dangerous. I would expect an optimized LIDAR to come in under 50W.
Remember the LIDAR's you can buy today are made in relatively small numbers so nobody is going to put down the money to optimize the power draw. Heck currently they are still way to expensive. The moment you need millions of them a year the economics all changes however.
It's more a case of they happen to be in their pockets when they go to the bathroom. It is mainly a women's issue however. They put their phones in their back pockets (which is a dumb thing to do anyway) then when pulling down their trousers in it goes. Given men generally don't sit down to urinate it is more likely that a women will lose her phone in the toilet. Women also seem to be more likely to carry a phone in their back pocket too. I suspect this has something to do with their average physical size and generally pockets on women's clothing being to small to be useful.
Nope you just need to bring up the "interface" of the TV, and the difference is immediately obvious. I recently got a 40" 4K LG SmartTV because it does everything I could possibly want aka all the catchup (iPlayer, ITV Hub, All4, etc,), Plex, NowTV, Amazon Prime, Netflix etc. from the one remote in addition to having built in Freeview and Freesat (based in the UK here).
Anyway the 4K bit basically came with all the other features, but compared to the 32" 1080p TV in my bedroom as soon as you are going through the now/next or in say Plex it is so obviously better and easier to read that despite the fact I have *zero* 4K content I would make my next purchase a 4K one for this reason alone, given that the price differential is somewhere around zero.
Yeah but if your entire house is destroyed that is because despite living in a hurricane zone you decided to make your house out of frankly what I would describe as match sticks. God forbid you might use an ICF construction, and fucking bolt your roof to the walls because that is completely un American.
The most amazing conspiracy theory I have come across is those that think SpaceX's landings of rockets are faked. I mean for fucks sake wait for the next landing at Cape Canaveral and go and watch it for yourself. Thousands of people have now probably watched a Falcon9 landing with their own eyes, but hey.
Actually putting the last mile under ground makes more sense than the distribution network. What's quicker fixing 10,000 pole drops or one distribution network link?
Obviously having it all underground would be ideal, but the place to start is with the last mile.
However it would appear that making your infrastructure hurricane proof if you live in a hurricane zone is "unAmerican". Meanwhile over the other side of the pond in Europe we just shake our heads in disbelief again at the third world nation that is the USA.
Built like a tank and with appropriate maintenance kits good for at least 1 million pages. I did have in a former job a LaserJet 5M with 1.5 million pages on the counter.
Does it say who the public IP addresses belong to? My guess is that they are likely located at universities where they are have loads of public IP addresses and historically everything got a public IP address.
Certainly in the UK all the universities have a full class B network allocation. So that's 65K IP address and you might have say 20K students, 5K staff and say 4-5K postgraduate students. Thats a couple of IP addresses each and still some spare.
Certainly my phone gets a fully routable public IP address when it hooks up to Eduroam at work! We don't have any IPv6 (well apparently we have it at the edge but it's not routed internally) because we don't actually need it. IPv4 address starvation, what's that eh.
Then you have organizations with class A networks. Why would a firm like IBM or HP ever dream of allocating private IP addresses?
Of course these should be firewalled up the wazzo, but again historically there was no such thing as a firewall.
Right except that Foley's War has *ZERO* *ZILCH* *NOTHING* to do with the BBC.
It was like Downton Abbey and Victoria to name two others an ITV production (the reason it's called AppleTV and not iTV), as clearly demonstrated if you check the Wikipedia page.
One of the great things about the license fee and the BBC is that it also keeps the commercial broadcasters "honest". That is if you wish to attract a decent audience you better produce some quality TV.
If you can push the range out to about 600 miles, which these batteries look like they could, then you only need to be able to recharge over night.
Put another way this is more than you can legally drive in the EU under the working time directive going around in circles at 70mph. Which of course is not realistic.
Actually I would say at more like 450 miles of real world driving is the most you can drive in a day without doing a driver change before you become dangerous on the road due to tiredness. However I would stick with the 600 miles as a target for a brand new car as it means the car is still good for 480 miles when the capacity is down to 80% of new.
There are a number of battery technologies been announced in the last year or so (this, glass electrolytes) that will enable cars of this range to be manufactured. If anyone of these makes it to production then the end is nigh for the ICE, in really short order.
Declaring independence is an *AUTOMATIC* bail from the EU. They could apply to rejoin for sure, but as that requires the unanimous consent of the existing members the chances of that happening are *ZERO* as Spain would just veto it on the basis that they don't recognize Catalonia as a sovereign state.
Ireland joind the EEC along with the UK in 1974. It is at *THIS* point that they agreed to no state aid and it became possible to funnel profits from the rest of the EEC through Ireland. This is all *BEFORE* Apple existed as a corporate entity and well before 1980.
Ryanair and Easyjet for starters. They still demand your phone is in flight mode and that means your bluetooth is turned *OFF*. That you have not been pulled up for using Bluetooth on a carrier where you have to have your phone in flight mode is irrelevant.
Except take a trip over the pond to the UK and most local electricity lines are under ground along with the gas, water, sewer and telecoms. Everything since WII is all underground apart from telephone, where everything in the last 40 years is underground. The idea that space constraints prevent putting it all under the ground is uninformed nonsense.

Fake news I am afraid. Brand new Xperia XZ1 Compact brought last week according to Settings/System I am running Android 8.0.0.

Maybe enable encryption in SMB? What you are still using SMB1, well more fool you then. It's 2017 the world has moved on.

Well according to Kelly LeBrock/Lisa it was a Pershing missile, and they where medium range ballistic missiles not ICBM's.

You can get to and from the restaurant in 15 minutes then? Realistically for the vast majority of people this is not the case.

Duh, it's October now. These are historical figures for September. What's happening today means jack shit for what happened last month.

My calculations show that MPEG2 patents expire 18th February 2018, which is a mere 135 days from now.
