  1. That seems daft on Google Forbids Advertising On Glass · · Score: 1, Interesting

    If you're walking around you'd want to see what shops have to offer. Often I'll type in a very wide search in to Google maps and see whats about. If you like comedy and some cafe has a comedy place in the back which runs every other second month on a tuesday, which you'd never know about. It would be good to see that information augmented in. Set some very tight preferences so you're not being blasted with everything and you're good to go.

    Also, If the gps picks up that you are doing over 8mph it should turn off everything. Does it do that? It you're on a bus or train tough. If you go over 200mph you get a speed ticket. I'm not accepting you're on a plane.

    How may more KG does being tall add over being a fucking huge fat fuck? Tall people get loads of advantages over short and earn more. Look here is a link to prove that, so it must be true. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/5887567/Tall-men-earn-more-than-shorter-colleagues-research-claims..html

    You are right. That's an extra $100 for extra leg room please sir.

  8. Re:Year of the Linux Desktop? on Valve Starts Publishing Packages For Its Own Linux Distribution · · Score: 1

    100% my point with added auditing. Most people can't afford the full version they go on to use at work, so it isn't even a lost sale. Sale was impossible.

    You can't buy a laptop in a chain store that isn't Windows 8 in the UK. Popular may not mean popular.

  10. Re:Yeah but.. on Valve Starts Publishing Packages For Its Own Linux Distribution · · Score: 1

    I'm not too sure but I think they'll be able to make some games for it. Half-life 4&5 only on Valve's new platform would work for most I think. the entry cost for a free OS isn't too hard to get around.

    If you can get that to read - "I can assure you: it works!" no matter the user skill level. You're onto a winner.

    If valve start to make a fortune in the venture, or one company can demonstrate that cash can be made, I'm sure (hope) that will start to get better.

    A pirate (yar) version of Adobe CS. The underage no money types have to learn how to use your stuff. Investment in future users isn't a lost sale.

  16. Re:Work it into the commute. on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Stay Fit At Work? · · Score: 1

    I commute by train and often get out 1 stop early for an hour walk home. If you drive that option isn't going to help.

  18. Re:Does all this make the Pixel make more sense? on Pixel Picture Clearer? Google Ports Office-Substitute To Chrome OS, Browser · · Score: 1

    That is a fine thing to want to do. The limitations of the device stops it from being luxury; but it is nice to see that screen being used. Maybe others will take note and we can kick start something better.
