Model rocket igniter in a packet of thermite, connected to relay off device battery, tripped by a stripped down version of the "android IOIO" type devices with only one io, soldered off the usb ports junction at the board, activated by android service running in background that pings a remote service.
I tried that malpha version with androids built-in browser, and it works quite well.
Posting comments works (which is new), and it was relatively easy to read... much like my RSS reader. I'd say that's a huge improvement over what we've had for mobile.
I'm not sure what the style gripes are about... there's not much to it.
The ms logo changed a while back, when they made a bunch of other site design changes. The old icon didn't make sense anymore (and hadn't for a long time).
I don't see why not. Microsoft already gets lots of businesses on Software Assurance, which is just an insurance scam. And this would do away with an SA for Office licenses. I haven't done the math, but I bet it'll end up being a wash.
Adobe now does outright $50 subscriptions for Creative Suite. It's expensive, but not for a company that was used to buying multiple Adobe products per year, it can actually work out pretty nicely.
Paying a subscription for software is naturally abhorrent to me, but business cases do exist for it.
Nah, it's all just relevence. Everyone still talks plenty of shit about Microsoft and Apple.
It's just that, nobody much cared if Apple was evil back when they were bankrupt. And people care less about Microsoft now that they've stagnated for a decade.
I pitched in (and hope to get one of these), after having done one of the online instructions for a very rough looking one. It seems like the sort of thing that will net me hours of goofing off for very little money.;)
"For example, three seed-sized pieces of the moon that were brought back to Earth by a Russian robotic probe in 1970 were sold at auction 30 years later for $442,500," Pearlman told Space.com. "And while the moon rocks recovered by the Apollo astronauts are considered National Treasures and have never been awarded to individuals, hypothetical appraisals have suggested even a 1-gram sample could be worth millions."
I think NASA ought to be working on ways to ship back containers of moon rocks. Their budget woes would be solved!
That was my thought. Putting the balance for anything on the card itself is a terrible idea, unless you have no choice because readers won't be (reliably) connected to the larger infrastructure.
I suppose later reconciling could catch someone doing this, but I have to imagine it'd be really hard to enforce effectively.
Elon Musk, as spectacularly successful at everything as he is, only originally planned to put a greenhouse on Mars. And he intended to take a total loss doing it, just to provide the world with the images of Earth greenery surviving there.
A cool idea, but I'm glad he built a viable space company instead.
I'm the first to admit that I'm no expert on this stuff, but this sounds pretty damning...
Tom Sanders, head of the nutritional sciences research division at King's College London noted that Seralini's team had not provided any data on how much the rats were given to eat, or what their growth rates were.
"This strain of rat is very prone to mammary tumors particularly when food intake is not restricted," he said in an emailed comment.
"The statistical methods are unconventional and probabilities are not adjusted for multiple comparisons. There is no clearly defined data analysis plan and it would appear the authors have gone on a statistical fishing trip."
Mark Tester, a research professor at the Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics at the University of Adelaide, said the study's findings raised the question of why no previous studies have flagged up similar concerns.
"If the effects are as big as purported, and if the work really is relevant to humans, why aren't the North Americans dropping like flies? GM has been in the food chain for over a decade over there - and longevity continues to increase inexorably," he said in an emailed comment.
They weigh less than a mechanical drive, whereas swapping from a six to nine cell battery is a weight addition. To be fair, 3 additional cells would probably buy you more time than an SSD change, depending on model of drive and how you use the machine. I don't have hard stats on that though.
Personally, I'd always do an SSD change before upgrading a working 6 cell battery to a 9, though. Batteries are expensive. With an SSD you might lose some storage space over the stock mechanical drive (per $), but you gain speed, run time, don't have to think about jostling the laptop around so much, you'll probably spend less out-of-pocket over a new battery, and you shave off a bit of weight. I've done it for workplace machines and everyone seems really pleased.
They make a lot of sense in laptops as the price comes down, which is why we're seeing them in the slimmer, lighter, faster, longer running laptops. Of course it makes even more sense if the machine ships that way and you don't have to replace a working part... though a laptop drive has some utility of its own after it has been replaced.
Each one is a trade off between speed, size, and cost.
Well, and like you said, availability. And features, I suppose. The "cloud" storage buys you a little safety, but (excluding local cacheing) is pretty darn slow and expensive. Working the MRC on most storage services against a real drive, the outside service is going to lose on $/gb alone. It's still handy though.
True SSD's, on the other hand, are speedy and are a good addition in laptops for their lower power use and lack of moving parts. They're just more expensive. But I figure, it's not like swapping a six cell to a nine cell is cheap, either.
Taser guns, taser rounds, bean bags, rubber bullets, gas grenades, chemical mace, fire hoses, LRAD... the list goes on. I think we can let one bad tech fall by the wayside and rely on what already exists.
Loved VRML. I used to like designing environments in it using Calagari Truesapce (iirc). In context, I was sure that it was going to go the Snow Crash direction one day. Oh silly youth.
I think we're talking about your average dumski making a right hand turn on a rolling stop (guilty, here). Not trained foreign agents with a Q in the wings to pre-emptively develop an automatic camera blinding system for your car.;)
I'd give him the benefit of the doubt, and assume this isn't the only place he's looking for best practices.
Meanwhile, "I'm an experienced developer, I'm familiar with all the general rules for securing customer data, but I'd like to hear of any 'gotchas' that you know about"? That seems like a reasonable thing to ask.
Again, assuming this isn't the one-and-only source. So instead of grabbing our pitchforks, maybe someone has some examples of what he asked about?
I think we could spend all day relating all kinds of real world phenomena with Zombies, and their unthinking, singular approach to the world in front of them.
They're kindof a blank slate by design. You can do whatever you like with the idea.
That assumes I need to take an exam for a score that relates to some formal credit that others will somehow respect.
It'd be nice if they did, but when I take a udacity course, or a Khan Academy track, etc, I don't get anything formal to put on a resume. It's just for me to learn with... and I'm strangely ok with that. So much so that, yes, I'd pay for occasional access to a tutor so I'll understand everything better.
I like to think of it like an old university approach. I'm not going to get paid for having done the French Revolution thing on KA, but maybe I'll feel like I'm just a little less of a dummy.;)

Sounds complicated, but maybe...? :)

Ah, it's a feature, not a bug. Also, you're holding it wrong.
I know this routine. ;)
That was part of the post.

That Drip Clip sounds pretty cool, though it looks like it's IndieGoGo, not Kickstarter: http://www.indiegogo.com/shiftlabs
Unfortunately, $75 is a bit out of my funding range. Otherwise it'd be a nice little sensor to play with.
Wow...

Well, 3g phone (iphone) has been done. You're going to have to go bigger.
Put a raspberry pi in the thing (it doesn't have to do anything) and you're gtg. ;)

Finally, if possible, associate all data collection events with time (timestamp) and location (gps).
It started getting a little creepy there at the end, bud. ;)
