Unless the person genuinely needs the processing power, the right chromebook purchase can lead to a much cheaper upgrade path to the same [non-graphics/cpu] specs.
Your industry is falling from under your feet. Buying paper makes just about as much sense an putting 2 quarters into a filth phlegm & piss covered phone in a cold plexiglass & metal booth. Take the fucking handout. TAKE THE HANDOUT.
My girlfriend has a new Prius C. She tried to convince her father not to get the one w/ the in-dash computer but they got it anyways, & here's just a little sample of what you get: You can't seek FM channels backwards. That's right. You passed your channel by accident? You better have bookmarked it because you're gonna have to do it all over again. You can't play FLAC files if you use your phone as a USB mass storage device so get ready to haul around an auxilliary audio cable. Bluetooth playback works but there's no real means to browse on the computer-- you'll have to do song selection on your phone & better hope you don't have to rewind. Oh yeah, you can't rewind. The maps application is supposedly able to pull Google Maps maps/traffic/fuel price data through your phone but who knows how long it'll be API compatible. You're also stuck w/ bluetooth bandwidth as (I've tested) internet tethering over USB doesn't work. I say tear it out & drop in an Android 4.x anything (tablet, phablet, proper in-dash computer, even a glorified phone mount), but, you know, resale value & all.
...in 1996/1997 on AOL. I recall, 5 years later, our excitement when we got MSN after AOL got stupid, the parental controls on it were totally broken & I saw all the vaginas I wanted from then on out.
While I agree apple needs to supply either a USB standard port or an inline adapter, it's true that lightning DOES have its own advantages. (reversability & clips not wearing down being a big one). I'd much rather see Apple join in on the next USB standard than to see the iphone 5-plus downgraded (I'm not even an iPhone user!).
Besides, we all know it's going to wireless induction charging, right?
No one cares about your 2-bit phone attempt, no matter how good you think the UI is, to the extent that people would rather write monoliths in java or obj-c than deal with your shit.
Why not half of what an exploit like that could cost on the black market, because that's how much it'll cost to even begin to look like anyone will pay attention to their 'bug bounty program'.
My chromebook cost $200 + just under $20 in tax. The extra 4GB of RAM was another $30 & the cheapest 7mm 2.5" SATA I could drop in was $50 at 320GB. So, I've made a laptop that maybe specs a little lower on the processing side in just $300 & I expect it to last me well into & past the 2.5 years one of these overly-integrated Microsoft Phabtops are expected to last. Google's point-of-entry is still lower & really seems to be picking up steam, especially when only half the top sellers on Amazon don't pay royalties to 'the man'.
...WHY are you using BMP in the first place? Does whatever you're generating these on not have the processing capability to compress to PNG before transferring? I mean it SOUNDS like it'd save 10-20% off the total transfer...Anyways, what I'd do is I'd simply plop a server rack at the source that takes all the images for a given hour or whatever, tar.gz.bz2.whatevers them & send them over. Otherwise, I mean, Amazon wouldn't be TERRIBLE?
ny portable playstation product doesn't want to live. No one cares how solid the platform is. No one cared how solid a neo-geo platform was either, or even how simple it was to program for the Game Gear because it reused 99% of the SMS platform. NO ONE'S GOING TO BUY IT, JUST LIKE NO ONE BOUGHT THE LAST ONE.
If the new guy can make 8.2 POSIX compliant, maybe license a better FS from Oracle or some shit, & BRING BACK THE DESKTOP METAPHOR, their problems are 80% solved! Don't get me wrong, Metro CAN work under the right circumstances, but it should be either an extension of or maybe even just a meta representation w/ some HTML5 thrown in for liveliness. (oh yeah, fix IE too)
Ballmer said himself DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS (& blew out his voice box trying to get his point across) when windows essentially supported any language or programming environment. then he drops a heaping pile of Windows 8 on us & gives us a single SDK? Oh but you can go back to the Desktop & program on anything you want. Just don't expect to run on RT.
& yes I'm familiar w/ wall-mounted doorside mailboxes but I'm sure many people would still prefer something on the curb than someone dicking around your doorstep 6 (or maybe in the future 5) days a week.
I've spent my whole life around them & to be honest I'm more comfortable w/ walking ALL THE WAY TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET than a strange man (or woman) putting shit through a security-risk insulation-killer hole in my door. Lets take a step back here: When the postal service started, you went to your nearest post office & got your mail by name. Then, later on, they decided to add numbers to every house & it'd be delivered. Curbside makes plenty of sense to me, but a hole in your door? REALLY? BTW IIRC in certain areas you can still get your mail by name at the office.

Because simulated mechanical keyboard sounds is just...terrible. & I can't even figure out how to enter a URL on this UI.
I'd be more impressed if it SSH'd into a VM running lynx/links/elinks/etc.

Everyone knows photons were meant to be shot out of phasers, not for dueling with lasers.
You think people will care enough to switch to openjdk or just....no?
What's keeping this layout from being re-implemented on any other window manager?

Sounds like an really cool place.

...near-POSIX compliance, & real package management instead of this appstore bullshit?
Now all restricted trade with russia will have to be proxied through the european union! That'll be a slight inconvenience maybe!
