It's official. Slashdot commentator irrational_design on Tuesday endorsed U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders as the write-in presidential nominee ahead of the Democrat's July convention. irrational_design said Sanders will make an outstanding president and that he is proud to stand with him. "Bernie Sanders understands that if someone in America works 40 hours a week, that person should not be living in poverty," irrational_design added.
Not me, I'm doing a Bernie Sanders write-in. If enough people join me we won't have to deal with Trump or Clinton. With the two of them it's not even a case of the lesser of two evils.
I don't care what you call them. Call them documents of indeterminate size. I have some notes that are one word and others that would probably be ten+ pages if printed out. Most of the thousands of the documents of indeterminate size I've written are somewhere in between.
1. Easy to add a new note 2. Ability to categorize notes (put into notebooks) 3. There is a app on on all the devices I use (phone, tablet, desktop) 4. Synch happens automagically. 5. Ability to search across all notes and to search within one note. 6. Ability to link notes together like a wiki. 7. Ability to export all the notes in a non-binary format (zipped file containing text or html files). 8. Can work offline and then synch when there is an internet connection again. 9. Option to encrypt notes (either all notes or just certain notes). 10. Ability to use markdown syntax?
I tried it yesterday when I found out about the evernote announcement. I grabbed a random note from evernote and tried to add it to keep but I was told that it was too long and I was asked if I wanted to create a google doc! No, I don't want to create a google doc, I want all my notes in one place, just like evernote. I'm still looking for an evernote replacement.
It depends on how many notes you have. I'd have to cart around hundreds of small spiral bound notebooks to hold all of my notes. I don't just want a place to write new notes, but I want instant access to all of my previous notes as well. I have a lot of notes.
Let me go check under my couch cushions really quick to see which one I'm going to get. Oh, does the price include raising the roof of my house? This might be a tight fit with the 7.5 foot height of my ceilings.
Yeah, I haven't read the book in decades. I don't really remember how the book handles knowing that they are no longer looking at "random" numbers but actual instructions that were placed there somehow.
Somebody might be able to write an interesting sci-fi story about that. Sort of along the vein of Contact where the instructions for a ship are encoded into PI.
While I disagree with the (apparent) decision to remove the jack, I also don't think the jack is perfect. I can't tell you how many times I have had to fiddle with the jack to "fix" the audio. Haven't you ever had to twist, wiggle, unplug/plug, etc. the jack to get it to work? I've had this happen on tons of different devices. Sometime no audio will come out, sometimes only one channel, sometimes the audio will cut in and out. I can try different headphones, but the headphones and cord aren't the problem, sometimes the jack just gets jacked up. But, I still think the jack shouldn't go away.
If we received broadcast signals from an alien civiliazation how would we respond? We don't have the technology to go there. At best we could send a broadcast toward them. Why would we assume that they are any different? Or is that what they are assuming? That is, our broadcasts will reach them in 750 years and then they will respond quickly so 750 years later we will receive the response?
Well, that pretty much describes me so it works great for me. This is really one of the first world problems where if it doesn't work for other people I'm not going to spend any time worrying about it.
I haven't actually receive my ballot in the mail and I haven't been paying attention to anyone other than the top candidates, so no, I have no idea if there will be any other names on the ballot. But, since I won't know anything about any of the other people I'm sure I'll still be writing in Sanders.
Personally I'm planning on writing in Bernie Sanders (or Bernard Sanders - I'm not sure how finicky they are about names). It's either that or not vote at all since between Trump and Hillary there is no way to determine the worse of two evils.
I'm still not following you. It's easy to send files to a computer from an iPhone via AirDrop. I do it all the time. It's only when I want to send some text that I cannot do so easily.
I'm not sure I'm following you. What do you mean by taking something out of a PDF or photo? I'm just talking about having writing something on my desktop and wanting to get some text that I have saved on my phone. I could put the text into a google doc or into a file and save it to dropbox, but usually it is just easier to email it to myself.
I don't know. I have tons of emails that I have sent myself with content that I wanted to share from one device to another. Anything that cuts down on that is good IMHO.

When war breaks out?! Is this a common belief in China? Or are these just the Chinese equivalent of the American-survivalist sub culture?

Fortunately gnome ann uses JavaScript anymore. ECMAScript on the other hand...
It's not only Apple. My Nexus from Google doesn't have a memory slot either. Why!?
Because there is nobody else to vote for. I might as well vote for Adolph Hitler as vote for the other two (and no, I'm not employing hyperbole).

My TV already has a Plex client built in so I just have Plex running on an old computer + my TV.

My cars (early 2000 models) don't have any sort of aux/headphone jack/input port. Is there some way to make this work?
Why not just bring 2 phones? Have your fake phone put into the bag while your real phone stays out?

Will an RFID sleeve stop this from happening?
