It's not that hard. I bought my last 8 core/ 3 GB ram/IPS 1080p screen/ dual sim phone for $150 USD including shipping.. It does GSM/3G/LTE with no trouble. My carrier (Telus) keeps trying to get me to buy a phone from them but I don't want to lose the "bring your own phone" discount. I also don't want to lose the ability to just drop in another SIM card when I travel.
A few seconds last you two days of driving? Do you only drive a mile a day? 10 miles? 30 miles?
You are giving us an emotional answer to make you feel good about your car... Which none of us really cares about. We want to know how good is a charge that is about the same time as a gas fill will give us on an electric car.
No we don't. With gas, cars must be supervised during the refueling process for safety reasons so refueling time is important. With electric you don't need to stand there and watch the car recharge, you can go off and do something else so the charging time is not wasted just standing there. Where I live (Montreal) malls, community centers and offices provide charging stations. This means the car can be charging while I'm at work, at home asleep,or while I'm eating/shopping etc so the time is not wasted the same way that if I were stuck standing there for the entire refill time.
I think people who actually need to tow things are the niche market since most people don't. Most people here go from home to work, home to drop the kids at school, home to the store etc and for that the range of the Tesla is good enough. On top of that, instead of 2-5 minutes filling up, you can fill up overnight or use one of the higher power chargers at the shopping mall (Several malls here in Montreal have them) and have a full charge when you are done shopping or eating. If you think about it, it's actually a more efficient use of your time since you no longer have to supervise the car while it charges. It's just a matter of not thinking of "refueling the car" as a separate task the way we do now.
If we can get the low hanging fruit of small car needs, we will vastly reduce how much crap we put unto the air and reduce the money we are sending to crazy Monarchies in the middle east who then use a bunch of that money in ways that cause us trouble.
Google didn't pay for a study.
I've always been fascinated by the "Magic Quadrants" since the time I was doing some research on firewalls and found 3 of them from the same year, all offering different best options.
The money wouldn't have been missing from the cash register. It would have shown up when the store gets it's bill from the lottery company for purchased tickets that were never actually purchased.
Yeah, but that would mean having to run Android. Sorry, I've experienced the fragmented culture all you suckers love and I'll pass. I want to watch TV, not tinker with a unit like it was a pet project.
disclaimer: I'm not the OP.
No tinkering and an added bonus is that the Android device handles streaming off of network storage and handles more video formats than Apple TV.
I doubt they will withdraw these from the market. Odds are they will do the same thing the last time issues like this became public: pretend nothing is wrong and keep selling the devices to unsuspecting users.
Bug for bug comparability with Windows is HARD and even worse is that Windows and Unix have fundamental differences in the way they structure resources. Native and cross platform apps are the only way that Linux will not be a second class platform when it comes to games.
Unfortunately the DNC was stupid and had emails containing people's personal emails, home addresses SSNs etc which Wikileaks failed to scrub in the rush to gain attention so it may not have anything to do with what side Facebook is on.
One thing that came up in the original Youtube lawsuit was that the content owners themselves can't tell what is infringing and if they can't, how do you expect Youtube to manage?
Some hopefully would have been working on new models so not vital to production any time time in the next few months. Maintaining stuff - probably won't need those guys this week. With zero plans for the future it's amazing how many people seagull managers can do without so long as they are quick packing their bags to leave for the next gig before it's suddenly found that all the people who used to deal with various problems that crop up have been fired.
Sometimes it's not management's fault.
The problem in this case is that spinning drives are losing ground to flash and are a declining business. The "Performance drives" part of the drive market is already losing money for pretty much everyone leaving only the bulk storage part of the market still making money. I suspect that over the next while, we will see fewer updates on the performance drives while the drive makers concentrate on the larger/slower "NAS" drives until at some point, there aren't enough drives being sold to justify manufacturing them at all.
Meanwhile, the managers get to chose between firing some people now and delaying how long it takes before they need to close the business, or trying to keep everyone until they run out of money and have to fire everyone.
The stockholder's on the other hand, are idiots. No one in their right mind should be investing in spinning drives.
I wish I lived in your world. I have watched products fail because people kept replacing the software foundation (language database). I've seen programmers change technologies on 2.0/3.0 releases. I've watched programmers run into trouble and then try replacing the language as the means of fixing the issue(it rarely works). Some programmers and their managers are addicted to shiny. At a previous employer one programmer went crying to my boss because I wouldn't let him replace perfectly working C with Erlang.
For me, it depends on the complexity of the script. I can do some pretty crazy things with Bash, but at some point just hammering it out in C is less work.
Do not forget the time lost each time the programmers rewrite the project in a new language. Eventually the software has to actually do things and going from PHP to Python and then to Ruby etc just delays the actual release.

Its easy. Just don't buy your phone from the carrier.
I'm not sure Intel quite understands the concept.

The downside of the Fitlet is the much higher price point.
On page 5 of the data sheet Next to the MicroSD slot.
The dual ethernet ports, so it it can be a good firewall. It has a mini pcie slot and SIM card slot so it can be a 3G gateway.

How does the memory usage compare to Chrome?
Yeah, but that would mean having to run Android. Sorry, I've experienced the fragmented culture all you suckers love and I'll pass. I want to watch TV, not tinker with a unit like it was a pet project.

You could have done the same thing with an Android TV box for half the price.
People struggle with pretty much every language, it's just that the bugs are different in each.

Last time I went on vacation, I blew through 1 GB a week on my data plan without doing any major downloads.
The fact that it only works on cell phones makes it useless to me.
Well you know what they say: "Anything is easy if you don't know what you are talking about"
