iPhone has a 11% market share, Android has 85%. At the same time, there are more ios developers than Android developers. If you want to plan your career, you learn Android.
You survive a spacewalk, an inflated suit, too much G-force, and everything dangerous that can happen in space, then after you land you get eaten by a bear. How ironic.
When, a few years from now, all oil fields in the middle east will be controlled by IS, we want to make the switch away from oil. This seems a solution worth investigating.
The stupidest thing is that nobody even really uses tablets.
People do use tablets. I use my nexus 7 quite a lot. With Android, which I think is best for phones and tablets. As Ubuntu is the best for desktops, or at least used to be.
I wish Canonical would concentrate on making a linux for the destkop with usable UI. Every move they make towards tablets, touch pc's and phones makes Ubuntu worse for desktop users. Which are also the people contributing most to Ubuntu.
Next year, it'll be 35 years that I've been developing software. I have never been dissatisfied with my job. I have never felt lack of energy or lack of enthusiasm to develop new software. I work for customers, as a freelancer, I work on my own projects. And I change the area I work in every five years or so. I may be the oldest Android programmer in the world, but keeping up with state of the art technology keeps me alive. I don't feel old. Nor complacent.
A lot of the child pornography we see comes from servers in Russia. Most of the spam we get comes from servers in Russia. Now, wouldn't it be nice if Russia cuts itself off the internet?
A society that doesn't allow math won't last long.
They do allow math. Just not for everyone. They keep children stupid, except the ones that work for them using and creating technology to keep them in power. The leaders of the group know that Islam - and religion in general - is bull shit, but - as in our countries - religion keeps people dumb and easy to manipulate. As Dostoevski wrote in his parable about the cardinal great-inquisitor.
I am. I know that a power plant is a lot more efficient, but I don't think it's easier to make the plant cleaner than individual cars. If a power plant has an 80% or even 90% efficiency and a car has 30%, the power plant still emits a significant amount, compared to cars with combustion engines. From discussions, especially when politicians are involved, you could think that electrical cars are emission free. They are not.
Btw, the future of cars is synthetic gasoline created by solar panels, not electricity.
They should teach these people how to install linux on their home computers too. It's less confusing to have one os (all linux) than two (linux in the office, windows at home). Maybe even give them a free linux laptop for the home. They can afford that because of the license fee savings for not using windows.
Apart from being able to take the kit to your next helmet, I want to choose the best helmet that fits my head perfectly and I think is maximum safe and strong. A kit would allow me to choose the best helmet, then mount the kit on it.
I ride a GSX-R1000. On the street, sometimes on the track. The site says the helmet has a "quick release chin strap". So it's not safe. On the track, a double D is required. I want a double D strap always. That made me want to find more info, but there's surprisingly little info on the quality of the helmet itself. Apparently, it's a cheap helmet. But at $1500, what does the extra $150 matter to make it a safe helmet? I would love to have a helmet with the gadgets that Skully gives us, but not at the cost of safety. What's the use of a heads up display after your skull broke in a crash?
I see language skills of people deteriorate. Young people are awful at spelling and language in general. We should give kids as much education as possible, or we'll find ourselves back in the dark ages.
I'm sure that terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan and similar countries know what to do with a driverless car they steal. The question is, will the suicide car go to heaven to the 72 virgins? 72 virgin cars? Or what is car heaven?
This gets scored "Funny". I think it's sad, very sad, that there's still people who think that keeping their source code a secret makes their software more secure.

US Robotics, do they still exist?

Windows One - oh!

A trusted third party, called the Private Key Generator (PKG), generates the corresponding private keys.
Right. It's the same as PKI, just more complicated.

So what's your point?
Their site says "proudly powered by wordpress". Err, "security", "wordpress", isn't that mutually exclusive?

because electric vehicles don't cause emission from powerplants.
There's nothing easy about getting various H/W setup on Linux even with the best distro.
I disagree. I have a standard Dell laptop, I put linux on it, no problem. Same with previous three laptops, various makes, never an issue.

I'll vote for "Windows Gefilte Fisch".
The EU found yet another way of telling me what to do. They should mind their own business, and stop wasting tax money.

You have a special cat. Mine need additional components to create the ammonia.
This is a first step. Ten years from now our cars will run on synthetic gasoline, created from CO2, H2O and electricity from sunlight.
