However, once you add the HDMI, it's essentially the same price as a raspberry pi model A.
If you are interested in the HDMI, you're doing it wrong. Did you see the picture where it's about the size of a standard LiPo? If they provide these things for the stated price, you're basically getting an ESP2866 with a built-in computer for only 3X the price.
I wouldn't go that far. Some other means of displaying information may supplant tv screens as we know them, but not something everyone must put on and wear.
Don't confuse fad and niche. I don't think anyone who has used the Rift thinks everyone is going to want one. Rather, the medium has finally reached the point where we can go somewhere with it, albeit slowly. I love the idea, but will pass for a generation or two.
It's not a horrible contract if both parties agreed to it
It's a horrible contract if it purports to require that consumers pay ESPN even if they don't want it. In fact, that's arguably illegal.
Isn't that all cable bundling? You pay for channels you don't want so you can watch the few channels you do want. Besides, TFA doesn't disclose what the Verizon-ESPN contract actually says.
This episode reminds me of when Steve Jobs claimed Apple was always against DRM in iTunes but had to roll with it so the record labels would sell on iTunes. Right. Just like I'm sure Verizon has always hated charging you for huge cable packages. They're just trying to find a way to secure revenue a little while longer before online distribution really loosens up.
Way too complicated a solution for the problem. "Sorry, sir your headlight is not working. That'll be $2700 to fix it.
If you can afford a car with this technology (assuming its actually possible and not only marketing gibberish), you can afford to have it fixed. And if for some reason you can't, just have normal headlights put in.
It looks like an array of solar cells on which you focus light. So the voltage level at each cell both powers the camera and determines the exposure for that pixel.
Kind of interesting, kind of pointless at such low resolutions (40x30).
I played Joshua Tree a few times, and then listened to some Achtung Baby.
Their newer music is good, it's just not my thing. Also, I don't have an i-device so I don't know why I'm posting.
The desktop is increasingly unimportant, or mostly an adjunct to where people do their primary computing which is portables.
Sure, if by "computing" you mean consumption. All the great things people buy and consume weren't created on portables or the OSes they run. There are still important markets in which to make gains.
Skeptics point out that the foundation smells like a gigantic tax dodge... the money remains under Bill Gates' control with not a cent of tax paid on it.
Yes... you dodge taxes so you can put that money toward the greater good of your own choosing, and not only what the government demands. That is precisely what tax breaks are for.
It's lightweight, easily customizable, runs really quckly, has a nice community, and did I mention easily customizable? It's also really easy to make a console-centric desktop. I installed it last fall, spent a couple weeks customizing it, and have just been using it for daily computing since.
Just because your contract is up does not mean you need to sign a new contract to get a new phone. If your phone wears out faster than your tablet, that is because you are carrying your phone every day, constantly cycling the battery. Your phone really is nothing more than a small tablet with more wireless options.
Let's see you try to overthrow your government and post about it on the internet. Let's see how long you keep your free internet access (and your freedom in general).
You missed his point entirely. What you're pointing out makes the kid's comment even sadder.
Yeah they had two agents get into a fight right behind him and when he jumped up to see what was going on (just like anyone would do) another agent snatched the laptop and started the task of getting evidence off it and mirroring the drive's contents.
The FBI is often really fucking good at what they do.
Raise your hand if you immediately started thinking about how you would mitigate this. Voice commands? Bluetooth remote in your watch?

it will eventually make your TV obsolete.

Managers clearly have a greater influence, but any second-rate employee can be a morale killer that hurts the economy.
Except a good manager won't allow that employee to continue as-is. Fix 'em or fire 'em.

iTunes continues to work horribly for ALL other Windows operating systems...
Are there any reasons someone would have to use iTunes still? I've only ever done alternative media players/stores.

Eh. Buy tech (and content) from a couple years ago and you'll enjoy fantastic quality at a fraction of the cost*
*also works for video games.
The main character in Cory Doctorow's "Little Brother" used a free, ad-supported XBox reflashed with "Paranoid Linux."
Giving one pilot (in the cockpit) the means to basically lock himself in with no ability for the other pilot to enter is too great a danger.
Except when there is a terrorist threatening the pilot outside, asking him to enter the code...
Doing anything by force or coercion on a flight won't work anymore.
And 100 other things the gov't could (and have) use as leverage to get information out of me if they wanted.
No to everything before this. Big yes to this.

Stop it. You're making it hard for us to make progress.
Maybe it's stupid. How is it hampering progress, though?
If we can make a bad AI, maybe we can make a good AI that stops the bad one.
Kind of like how the NSA is doing good spying to counteract all the bad spying.

And the great thing about homeschooling is it teaches you that's not the way things should be, and you don't have to be part of the problem.
Replying to someone and calling him names is not ignoring him. It just looked funny.
I suspect most five-year-olds or confused squirrels know what "ignoring" means :)
Why is this modded 'Funny?' This is still good advice.
