define "service" it. There is no way to upgrade the RAM, as that is soldered in. The Battery is glued in, and I don't know of anyone who sells a replacement. And the SSD has a proprietary connection - OWC is the only outfit I see that offers the ability to upgrade the prior generation's SSD(for a markup of course). But so far, no one is offering a way to upgrade the new generation of MBP's SSD. You see, apple reworked it again to make it even LESS upgradable.
That is why I have the last generation 15" cMBP, and I intend to keep this thing for as long as humanly possible - In hopes that Apple comes to it's senses with respect to not charging way more than the normal Apple Tax amount, for a laptop that satisfies a demanding user. If they don't, I'll be looking for alternatives to the MBP as well.
There is no disadvantage to less pollution. It's HOW you go about doing it. Ignoring China's and India's environmental impacts while taxing the hell out of every American and European person to line the pockets of politician and political benefactor's carbon market schemes, not only is pure crap, but is stagnating an already bad economy to certain ruin.
But apparently that is what some folks desire, for some reason.
I am not anti-anti-pollution. I love the outdoors and nature. And I can tell you that even basic laws and ACTUAL enforcement has turned a lot of rivers I could not fish, due to pollution, in the 70s and 80s into thriving ecosystems in the 2000s and 2010s. You don't have to ruin world economies to clear up the pollution, no matter how much certain politically motivated parties would have you think otherwise.
Yes, but when they are looking for potential terrorists, they start with just one and work out from there. With an already accurate map of communications(what the NSA is collecting), they simply reach out from a given suspect to see who they are talking to, and then one more iteration.
They are not taking a the whole map and saying - Find me a terrorist, as you last sentence implies.
I have been out of a school for a while, and I just picked this book up to refresh/prepare for an upcoming interview. Try getting through that book without a math background. My mind is still hurting from what I was reading last night.
But the point is, what kind of job are you looking for. Quite frankly, you would most likely NOT enjoy a job that was not challenging.
Really? It's a government entity collecting unique biometric data to be stored in perpetuity for no defined purpose. No communication with parents, no direction as to it's use, and school officials employing the typical school system no-think by saying, "I do what I am told". The whole thing smacks of slimy Big Brother tactics.
But then again, you sound like one of those types who like to allow minors to undergo surgical procedures without the parent's consent. It takes a village, absent the parents potential for objections, right?
There is room for both. The iPhone without the phone bit is really important to me, because I can give it to my young son to play with, literally, and not have to thing about him having a cell phone. He plays games, takes pictures/videos, watches TV/movies, etc... This new "improved" thing does not fit my criteria, because of the lack of camera, and it doesn't fit your criteria as well.
It just seems like a big giant miss from Apple, IMHO.
BTW, you can buy the iPod Touch 4 w/32Gigs of RAM from the refurb store for $179. You then turn off wi-fi, remove of group all the apps you can't remove into one bucket, ignore the cameras, and then enjoy your media device for music and photos/videos. It's much easier to ignore something than it is to use something that doesn't exist.
It means that they are not able to shrink smaller than 19nm for this next generation of NAND flash memory. Normally the numbering system from generation to generation included the number in the tens(and 100s) column. But since they are at that same physical size, they had to use a new numbering scheme. 1x -> 1y.
All it means is that the physical limits of shrinking the die size are being hit. And the author is simply saying that it's a sign of things to come - DUH!!! Also, to your parent post, Moore himself thought the prediction would have not held up anywhere close to this long. So that can be interpreted as the "self-fulfilling prophecy".
Isn't there something to be said for sample size here? We've had the ability to "easily" see large planets. We've discovered that there is a strange(to us) phenomena known as "Hot Jupiter". But other than that, we have found only relatively large planets up to this point. Each of those systems with large planets may also contain smaller planets as well.
You can't prove a negative, but that appears to be what they are doing. Since we don't have the tech to discover systems like our own, we MUST be rare.
The crowd sourcing, in this case, only has a tiny percentage of the video/images the authorities had. So logically, the list of legit suspects runs out quickly, and then you have LOTS of outliers being tagged as well. Then you throw in the idiots who's only justification for tagging someone is "brown" and where else do you expect this to go.
Weed out the "brown" taggers, ignore everything after the 1st 6 hours, and you have a set of suspects that were actually somewhat legit.
The problem is that the social media crowd only has a SMALL % of the photos/videos the feds have. Given this, the list of possible targets social media comes up with invariably extends well beyond likely, and quickly delves into the absurd, and unfortunately a select few target strictly because a person is "brown", "middle eastern", "looks like TeaParty" member.
That is why social media is more of a joke in this instance than normal. Also, why the media is a complete and utter joke because they will run ANYTHING as breaking news, and their politics shines through as well with wishes that the bomber is a home grown anti-tax day person. The desire to label the bomber as such was palpable on many news channels/shows.
There was a group of military that ran the marathon WITH backpacks on. They were also some of the first to help the wounded. exercise your inner-google. I saw photos that day of that showed them running IN the race.
Take off the tinfoil hat and rejoin reality. It may suck and make no sense at times, but every now and then, you actually get to have some fun. If you are always wearing your tinfoil hat, you will NEVER feel happiness.
I"m not the OP in this situation, but this is how I read it as well. In the digital age, things do not remain static. You lose functionality over time, so this is the exact definition of "paid-for phone is now becoming less and less useful". Yet, even that commenter gets a nod from another by calling the OP a troll. Since like the art of debate is dead.
So your contention is that the "real story is ISN'T nanny state"? I would disagree 100%. This is exactly what the story is about, nanny state deems turkey/cheese sandwich not healthy, but chicken nuggets are. About the only thing more nanny would be driving the underage girl to a clinic for a medical procedure, without notifying the parents.
TSA must have gotten their marching orders recently. They have been pretty strict about pushing as many people through those radiation machines as possible for that last couple of months. Prior, you could pony up to the metal detectors without much hassle. Now, you are told to stand in the long imaging line. And this is the case at several airports I travel through.
Yes, and do you know why? Absolute power corrupts absolutely. It WILL be someone's job to oversee others. Someone will be in charge of placing you where you will do the best job for the state. Those people will consolidate their power and elevate themselves above everyone else. The 1st person who calls them out, will be dealt with by force, as the person consolidating their power will threaten someone with turning their job/life into a living hell, unless they take out the usurper. Threaten or offer a much better job.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
The only way you get a "perfect" society is by removing human nature from it.
I don't see how you can look at how this has played out with Stalin starving 20+ Million "comrades", or Mao killing even more, and wish for a system that would allow such things to happen.
Some could also say that capitalism hasn't been given a chance because the unions(good up to a point) has taken way more than their fair share, the federal governments has been forcing banks into taking on bad loans, and the rise of entitlements - all of which have contributed to manufacturing jobs leaving the US, and the escalating deficit we see today.
I recently dumped the TV portion of Verizon. It was costing me around $100 a month for JUST TV, and that was with what I would consider a small setup. The misses was all for it, EXCEPT for the need for a DVR that was simple for her and my son to use. Not really for them to program, but for them to get at shows that are programmed. We live in area with TONS of channels OTA with an antenna. I ended up getting the Channel Master CM-7000PAL. That and netflix streaming, and I'm paying a fraction of what I used to, and I'm only really missing out on Pawn Stars and Storage Wars - which were both rotting my brain anyway.
I know it's not the wiz-bang solution others would recommend, but for non-tech folks, it's a pretty good alternative, provided you can get OTA channels.

My guess would be HELL YES!!!

flaccid, semi, or fully at attention? I have to know how to prepare.

Not anymore. Stick to your guns.
Is it legal to even SAY guns anymore? Pointed sticks perhaps?

Although it's not the best high end remote to control everything under the sun, the blu-link PS3 universal remote has worked wonders for me.
So say I
Thank you. Seems that most folks passionate about the subject would have the other sided labeled as the OP described.
