Android is not linux, its a virtual machine, yes most of the time android runs on a linux base, but if someone ported it to run on be-os you would never even know

Thats cause most LED bulbs are at best wishful thinking in how they are powered
"toss a cap in there and let those fuckers rectify the mains, good enough" mentality you see in LED household bulbs is not nearly enough, considering you can get electronics from the 70's and their LED's still work fine
and has horrid support, an IDE that gets you a saleman phonecall every fucking month, missing libraries, a clusterfuck of a website to navigate and clowns who dont even know what they are shipping on the disk they gave you
I dont like anything that has to do with TI or ARM, might as well just shit in my hand, its just as useful.
I dont follow how a machine that phones home to do anything is "more secure"
you can also get 250$ netbooks that run on atom, get similar battery life, dont have to be connected to use the fucking calulator and run every common home app ever made, whats the point of a chromebook?
be real, the second a non geek gets their hands on one you will be called up and buried in dumbshit questions like, "why doesnt my GPS map updater work on it", "how do I install EXCEL", "my yahoo account doesnt work"
its arm so it wont run the applications I want its slow and light on ram it requires me to be attached to the internet to access my storage its got a shit camera (640x480? really? my 5 year old free phone has a 1.2mp camera douche) its not even all that good on battery life
" the customers will be asked to acknowledge that they received the warning. "
and just how are they going to issue this warning? send it to your comcast.com email account that no one uses?
I had this same shit back in the dialup days with ATT, got a 300$ bill cause they wanted to change my unlimited plan to a byte limited plan, only notification I got was sent to my worldnet email which I never even knew the fucking password for... a good cussing and a theat of suit made that go away with one phone call.
now they want to warn me cause I might download linux off of a torrent?
fuck you! lets not forget who pays your damned bills, and I am about sick and tired of crapcast as it is.
If I know in enough time that someone is going to jump out at me to let go of the wheel, there are plenty of other corrective actions I would perform... if the wheel suddenly jerks the first think in my head is that I blew a tire or hit something or both and try to correct it before my car goes into the ditch, not let go and shrug... possibly causing a even bigger problem the moment this thing lets up and my muscles are still fighting a servo.
how about people just dont haul ass on a street where people might walk out? dude is fucking flying for a simulated road where this situation would happen.
"A lot of that can be done quickly using 3D printers"
ugh, ok when your producing thousands to millions of units per day, you cant take the line down every 20 min cause your rep-rap made doohicky crapped out. even good 3D printers cant make parts that are going to hold up in a production line very long.
so now your getting shit milled and waterjet to make special tools for a product that changes every year just to inset a screw that cost a multiplier more than a persons yearly income, even if you were paying American rates.
I work for a (US) company that makes electronic products, the bulk of it is SMT, and requires very little more than humans putting materials in, and then taking it out on the other end. Quality and consistency are extremely high and errors are low. Much like the production of a phone, most workers are just plugging crap in and snapping parts together.
the other part of that are products that are less than 19 components, but requires too much manual placement, and wow, you might as well take half of your materials and toss it in the dumpster. After buying this mess we are redesigning everything to go to the automated route saving everyone time and headache, cause humans suck when it comes to fiddly repetitive processes that require an ounce of attention.
1) why, so I can stank up the whole office? 2) yea thats great for my career, being the smelly guy no one wants to interact with 2a) I live in the south, your going to smell like ass and balls no matter what time of day when its 80+F at 7 AM 3) they dont, our office is not a homeless shelter
get a rom for some old ass system 7 or 8 system, let him play stickybear reading, the computer will be simple while still teaching basics, and the edutainment is 10x better than anything released for linux, let alone any platform for the last 10 years.
Its why the shuttles ran off of 386's, and the current mars rover uses something kin to a 233mhz G3, now all of a sudden we can stick a super-computer on the moon? Set aside the repair bill when it blows something, how many radiation hardened super-computers are available, and more importantly how old are they?
It was more military than anything, not how we leave this rock, but how can we kill each other in space and defend against the other side. Sprinkle on some PR and make everyone feel good about it and there you go, well documented worms... fucking in space!
Slashdot Mirror
really
"they" can hardly operate a DVD player, let alone a computer

yea cause they already patched the millions of units sitting in boxes at walmart and gamestop

dont worry, they dont make anything that lasts more than a year or two
So far, too few US citizens seem to care

yea nothings better than going to work smelling like an ass when you just had to bike 10 miles in 100 degree heat!
me personally, have trouble finishing a 12 ounce can of soda.
funny, something an organization that grew out of the air force just magically made a space cargo van for what again?
