Very happy with my Samsung 12.1 Galaxy Note Pro. But, they've discontinued it. Will Apple be the only offering this form factor? Or does it take them to legitimatize the 12" screen size?
I think you're on the right track. There's a methodology underway that has enough momentum that it's got it's own buzzword: SDN -- Software Defined Networking
it uses the very architecture you're suggesting: essentially a bunch of PCI cards working to form a network switching matrix.OpenFlow is a standardized communications interface for controlling systems like SDN. Interesting reading.
Didn't work for me. One of my raspberry pi parrot videos used a snippet from Elvis' Blue Christmas. Sony sent a takedown notice to Google and took it down. Two appeals resulted in a strike on my account due to "Copyright Infringement".
So much for "fair use". In light of this case, I wonder if I should put the video back up?
This is EXACTLY the reason why I bought the S5, replacing my S3. I went into the Verizon store to plunk down the $575 (IIRC) for the S6 -- the S6 Edge looks like a gimmick. But: 1) No SDCard 2) No Replaceable battery 3) Not waterproof!!!!!!
I see that the quiet release of the S6 Active on AT&T fixes #3, if I want to be on AT&T. But, the first two are deal breakers in my book. I replaced the battery on my S3 and my son is happily using it today. Without the SDCard, one is forced to pay an extra $150 for 32GB of storage. If I wanted an iphone, I would have bought one.
I really like the S5. When it comes time to upgrade it in a year or so, I hope they've changed course and I can replace it with another Galaxy.
I've been following this -- I thought -- pretty closely. There's a smoking gun. To answer the recall, they've got to actually do something. What's the "fix"? Yank out the radio? Does that fix it?
Seems to me that a lot of this stuff is going to get worse before it gets better due to "smart" features such as collision avoidance, remote start, an the like. There will likely be a management device with privileged access to the CAN bus. What measures are being put into to place to protect that trust?
This. IMO, there's little repercussion for bugs. And, the problem has accelerated due to fast development methodologies. Code reviews are supposed to catch issues. But, it's proven that they don't.
I work primarily in LInux. I've had my share of escalations in both Apache and OpenSSL. I'd say it suffers from the same problems; just in a different way...
Maybe another option is NYC Mesh. Not sure if there's any traction with that project. But, it seems like a ground-roots method providing an alternative method of reaching a nearby FIOS line to get out on the 'net'.
Not sure about keeping the same cost using this experience. I'm hoping (maybe naively) that these courses would be provided externally free for auditing and then, fees charged for credit. And those fees wouldn't be the same as in-class.
I rather enjoyed the "Google University" python intro classes I did a few weeks back. They're rather old (4 years IIRC). But, the instructor did a great job and the examples were well thought out and executed.
If you put these into a Kahn Academy model and then charged for university credit, it could be something interesting.
Maybe I am cheap... Not jealous though. I really liked my S3 and didn't see a need to upgrade to S4. I passed my S3 to my son and he's using it now. The S6 is compelling. But I know, from experience, that I will need to replace the battery around 2 years. Verizon says they can replace the S6 battery in about a day for ~$45. That's a deal breaker. Do I really want to be down for even a day? The S5 is "slim enough". It allows the ability for the battery to be replaced. That's value in my book.
actually, no, I'm not. Resorting to insults doesn't really prove your point. I do, indeed, know how to charge a LiOn battery.
Here's the steps outlined by iFixit: "... eject the SIM tray, heat up the battery door, draw off the battery door with a suction cup, then separate the door with a case-opening tool, then undo 13 screws, heat up the LCD assembly, pry open the charging chip flex ribbons, pull off the front-facing camera connector, battery connector, ear speaker connector, remove the entire motherboard, then pry off the battery with a spudger tool."
That doesn't sound like "pop out the battery and drop in the replacement" to me. The S3 and the S5 -- which I have personally replace the battery on -- are truly replaceable. Indeed, I owned the S3 for 3 years and replaced the battery once. I don't consider that LiOn abuse, frankly.
Waited for the Samsung Galaxy S6 to arrive before I upgraded my S3. Seriously disappointed about that the non-replaceable battery. Also, without expandable memory, this made me pick the S5 rather than the better S6.
I'm willing to purchase a decent Android phone. I'm not willing to forgo a replaceable battery. That's a deal-breaker.
I really like the S5 so far. Will the S5 be my last Samsung phone? I guess we'll see when then S7 arrives...
Maybe you need to actually READ the Nuremberg Laws of 1935. There were no requirements to serve certain individuals. Most were exclusion rules: i.e. you couldn't marry those of a particularly defined race.
IMO, there's not enough samples to produce this study. The rate of use of marijuana while driving is still statistically -- and radically -- low. As use becomes normalized (in other words, accepted), you'll see abuse while driving to increase as well.
But, let's say what this is really trying to do: push the Legalization activist agenda. Sorry, pot is as much a drug as meth. So is alcohol. It's disappointing to see my tax money going to support the use of either.
FYI... I'm running systemd in a busybox environment currently. Have been for the last 3 years now.
Not seeing what the big fuss is. The dependency model that systemd enforces helps with speeding startup of embedded systems. I like it more than the hacked init.d scripts we had been using. We're not using near 50% what systemd can do. But, I see measurable value by going that direction.
But, then again, I happen to like gnome compared to my other options out there. So, I guess I fit in the demographic you're railing about.
As developers, we're looking for something that "just works". All of those hand-crafted scripts used by init.d doesn't address this.

They simply fixed the glitch..
Why has it taken 18 MONTHS to start looking for another sponsor?
this is the article by Sean Gallagher that Corey references. IMO, it's the more interesting read...
The word you're looking for is B-A-C-K-L-A-S-H. I think backslash is an alternate universe of Slashdot...

thanks for the tip. Didn't think of Harmon Kardon as being the vendor for this, uh, app. NTSA seems to call them out explicitly in their complaint.
OK, sounds like uConnect is a trusted application? Who wrote uConnect? Seems like they're the ones' with some 'splainin' to do'...

Hoping to be able to follow them in my '68 Dodge Polara convertible. Is the sensor in the front or back? Want to make sure they get the full effect.
I love watching the gas gauge move down on acceleration!

Provide a method to turn this off and I'll keep using Firefox. If not, I may need to like Chrome more...
Can you point to some responsive sites you feel are doing it "right"? My favorites don't seem to...
Maybe you need to actually READ the Nuremberg Laws of 1935. There were no requirements to serve certain individuals. Most were exclusion rules: i.e. you couldn't marry those of a particularly defined race.
If you have statistics that state differently, please cite them. Even the study discussed in the article disputes what you're suggesting.

Thanks. I'll keep holding on to my Radio Shack stock. I'm sure it will eventually get back to $5/share...
Since trading is suspended, isn't that the same as a value of zero?
