Heya, did you do an update from a non-synch computer? I heard that can cause huge headaches. Of course, you already went through it, so I guess this doesn't matter...
"The only thing that's missing is the ability to dual-boot into Ubuntu - that would be awesome when docked, as there's no reason not to use a full-fledged OS in that mode if you can. But the community is working on it."/facepalm
You are clearly not the market for an apple product, and you clearly have ZERO idea what that market looks like. Hint: its the other 99% of the world who thinks technology is a pain in the fucking ass because of useless nonsense like "omg it has dualboot!"
You are right to correct my statement in accordance with your evidence. The ASUS link you sent is NOT 'droid redoing what Apple has done, it is Droid redoing what Microsoft has been doing for 15 years.
Well, first off, this is an affluent area. Many schools are not in affluent areas. You know how some schools have brand-spankin' new football fields and huge auditoriums with pro lighting and sound? And how other public schools have classes in 20 year old temporary trailers without airconditioning in the summer? Or no functional bathrooms? It has to do with local government and taxes. There are many, many, many schools that are hurting: teachers buying supplies, having to share books, bathrooms that don't work. And there are few rich school systems, like the one in vermont that could afford ipads for an entire class. But they are far and few in between.
Pffft. You still watch films at a cinema (not movies at a theater, mind you)? How pedestrian. The real action is at my stereoscope parties, where we drink home brewed absinthe and discuss better methods for raising backyard livestock, or who makes the best handlebar mustache wax.:-)
I hear that again and again. It is such a HUGE myth. Give me an example, besides "boo hoo I can't change the color of my icons" or "waaah, i can't ssh through ipv6 to my home linux box". Please. If you focus on what is important, linux-like uber-configurability gets in the way more often than it helps, which is why the linux desktop has failed so horribly in the mainstream.

Exactly!/. Android fanboys/bois are hung up on hardware and customization, they have zero future vision, just trying to redo what apple has already done, which is why they don't get it and keep failing.
How? It's not about the hardware at all. Every tablet listed had buckets of hardware options, but they failed because every single one was a poorly thought out and was buggy a shit (because face it, Android and its apps are buggy as shit)... a common reactionary response to Apple's clearly planned vision. Purely reactionary "throw money at a problem we don't understand" behavior. Amazon is probably the closest competitor to the Apple vision because Amazon is working on its own version of the future. There simply aren't enough visionary companies, I count 2 (google & apple). But Android is still learning to crawl as an OS, and suffering from Linux syndrome.
Bzzzt. Wrong. "hoping to get paid by future workers". It is 100% clear how the system works: less workers in the future means less money in the future; it is funded ad hoc (in theory) by the current labor force. It is in NO WAY a guarantee! That's not a ponzi scheme.
My problem with SS is that it takes in more than it spends and then the surplus has been used by greedy politicians since it first funded the Vietnam War. The program isn't the problem, it is the theivery of the surplus. It should be saved to extend the program, or refunded to taxpayers every year.
Oh, yeah, I got confused as to who was for and and who was against AGW. But the absurdity of the Nobel Prize should be clear to anyone familiar with the Prize and: Marie Curie, Nikola Tesla, Al Gore, and Barack Obama. (FTR: I think the data supports AGW, and I'm a liberal, but holy cow did the Prize committee lose face with the Obama nod!)
I'm reading the comments hoping to come across one that points out this is a private school, or that they were donated, or that they already gave their federal funding surplus back to other needy schools... but no luck. Man, I try to stick up for public schools as much as I can, but what the hell? Given the state of schools, this is such a colossal waste. They could have hired 6 new teachers for $200k, or one teacher for 6 years.
I was thoroughly engaged with my "science and engineering mode" brain active while reading all of this information, that is until Prof. Neri Oxman appeared in the second video and my brain exploded. A quick google images search later and OMFG she's an effing supermodel.
I'm highly disappointed in my scumbag brain for such a base detour from a truly intellectual endeavor.
It sounds like any time geologists can't figure something out, the answer is "meteors". From life, to water, to now gold and silver, the refrain is "meteors". Kinda starting to sound a bit repetitive over the past decade, or is it just me? I am obviously not a geologist.
In 1997 Jim Benson formed a company called SpaceDev, with the primary intent of doing exactly this. They funded their main R&D through microsatellite launches. Sadly, Benson died in the early 2000's and the company was bought out. I invested quite a bit and was hopeful for the future.
...written by the guy that nabbed him. "Takedown" was exciting, but a little bit of ego fluff. I read it a decade ago, and perhaps should read it in tandem with Mitnik's side of the story.
When you work at a hi-tech corporation, and you are competent, everything you do that is novel is filed as a disclosure for patent. About 10% of my time is spent writing up disclosures on everything I do, which then go to legal, and every now and then a patent pops out. It's almost like writing a status report. I have no idea which concepts will be deemed patent-worthy, but it is required, and sometimes I'm surprised at what makes it. THis is done to protect innovation and intellectual property.
So trying to judge the hell of this guy like you are doing is pretty ignorant. Don't be afraid to think.
Why aren't these good, wholesome Texan children simply armed with the readily-available supply of both weapons and the Yosemite Sam mentality of Texan society?

Wow, that was painfully complicated!
I guess Apple really DID copy Android. /end sarcasm/
Seriously though, did you find out why you had such trouble? My pad and both phones updated easily.
Yikes.
"Consumers sour on Apple: Unsuccessful launch leads to glut of 4S supply"
"Apple i4S a flop"
"Apple at the end of its line? i4s overstock causes book to bill ratios to drop in Q1'12"
"Apple has lost its spark: failure to sell out like other products proves i4s is a failure: stock down 20% on concerns of apple's future"
And so on...
its a lose lose.

I smell conservative ID'ing of anchor babies.

Enjoying your second year in highschool, I see.

"limited choice"?

But it is no way a Ponzi scheme.
First off, Intel went RISC in 1995 with the PentiumPro, the ISA is CISC, but the uISA is RISC. (Semantics. Bite me.)
Second, Itanium is VLIW, not RISC.
Third, who cares? Sun and IBM are phoning-it-in with this market, just look at the ISSCC proceedings for the past decade.
I'm surprised Intel is even bothering. Is the market that big? Will it grow their bottom line? Anyone?

Al Gore. Nobel Prize Winner.
'nuff said.

I "deleted" my FB account months ago, and have no intentions of using G+.
Are there email services out there folks would recommend?
Are there any email services that use encrypted email on both ends?
Are they free?
Looking for recommendations.
Thanks.
