Sadly I have yet to see a decent looking android phone around the lunch table at work. I don't understand why no one makes an android phone that doesn't look like crap after a week in someone's front pocket. A superior OS, UI, hardware and casing should be a winner.
I spent around 3300$(converted to $) a few years ago on a so called "smart TV" from Samsung. Less than a year after I bought it, they stopped updating the software. They never fixed it's problems with remember subtitles settings. The "Smart TV" part never got to be in any usable state and now after Netflix has entered my country, it is clear that this model will never get a downloadable app for Netflix.
So, no, I am not going to spend YET more money on a new TV when it is capable of showing a picture. Although I would have liked to have a all-in-one box, I guess it is not possible so I still have to buy boxes and then still use the tv as a monitor.
on my Commodore 64, made mazes for the school newspaper. Since there were multiple paths through, I had to find one myself first and add an arrow to tell people where to start.
So now that someone actually wants to protect your rights and the control of your information you are against it? And when you have no control of your private information that is also wrong.
I don't play much games anymore since I have dropped out of the hardware upgrade race since I got a laptop. My 3yr old Macbook Pro runs all programs just fine even virtualization when I need to practice things. But games are of course not doable, except from my old favorite, Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, that I play a couple of times each year.
At my work we had our generators on the roof above 6th floor. It had a small tank that can run for a couple of hours. In the basement, a larger tank that had fuel for 2 days. Sadly when the power went away, so did the power to the pump that were supposed to lift it to the root. So the our electrician all of the suddon got busy.
At another workplace we had two huge generators with flywheels for starting them, plenty of fuel and even our own redundant line to the powerplant some miles away. Sadly when the installation got upgraded, someone rewired the part that monitored the power coming in so it monitored itself. So after it had fired up and run for some time and synchronized the phases to itself. It shut down and we lost power again. That went on for the most of the day and almost drained our UPS batteries before they figured out what was wrong. ah the memories.
in Denmark and I am sure that will put an end to the popularity in Copenhagen or we will have a lot of criminals.
I can see it now, the cheap law/cop shows on TV now on the hunt for these CRAZY criminals not wearing a helmet. Should be a nice change from those "high speed"(lol) car chases where people drive 10km/h about the speed limits.
There is no way in hell I am going to wear a helmet every Sunday morning when riding all the 500m from my house to the bakery for bread.
I am happy to leave my security up to someone else. I have better things to do and my phone has a almost direct line to my bank account so it needs to be secure. Life is really to short to have to spend hours keeping tabs on whats what in the latest phone security.
I also let antivirus companies handle my security on my computer.
argh, just looked at a QNAP, I'm not sure it even reads the parity block when reading it uses MD so I guess the only thing it's RAID function are good for are complete HD failure. and then you have to play there aren't any undiscovered bad blocks.
Just be aware that QNAP does not have any disk / RAID scrubbing feature so it cant check if there is a lot of blocks are going going bad.
It can only check the file system and s.m.a.r.t. tests. I guess if you have a server running, you could read everything to/dev/null once in a while. og pehaps figure out how to add cron jobs to the qnap itself that stays after reboot.
But when it was 14 i was using power/table drilling machings, angle grinders, arc welders etc. Had much fun. Around 16 I got one of my fingernails squeezed between a door and the door frame. And the pressure from blood etc under the nail was really painful since the nail didn't quite fell off. So i took a small drill and used the table drill to make a hole in the nail. worked really well.:)
Lame lyrics and where's the raunchy dance? Geekwire needs to check up on the state of music videos these days(the uncensored versions). Or maybe not, it will give them a heartattack.:D
Right now I have a video where 5 different companies claim rights to the music. They are all wrong and I have disputed their claim. But they don't seem to be in a hurry to get their ads removed from my video.
Having the most expensive electricity in the world according to wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_pricing I am looking forward to getting my 20*250Wp panels installed next month. Even with current prices, my installation will have paid for itself in 7 years, since I can use the grid as a "battery".
The panels used in the solutions I've seen we're only 30% cheaper then the eu brands. But maybe they are a lot cheaper in the US. I have seen cheaper panels on eBay, so I figured that the installer charged overprice for them.
I ended up buying a solution with eu panels which also had 12 years warranty and 10 years on 90% effectivity and 25 years on 80%.
Since we have one of the highest electricity price in the world, they have paid for them self in 8 years. Including the loan.
Right now the banks have "energy saving" loans at 4,8%. If paid back over 10 years, it costs nothing to install the panels in the monthly budget and then you still have at least 15 years of life in them. The inverter might need to be replaced.
We are 2.5 million households in the country and the organization that coordinates the infrastructure between the electric companies are receiving 150 applications pr day for micro PV Installations where you can use the grid as a battery.

Bite my shiny metal ass.
I finally got a twilight zone a few months ago. It needed only minor repairs. Good fun.
Yeah, but who watches CNN anymore?
I think you would classify CNN as "mostly harmless".

Not at all, this is the first I've heard of it. But I have also been working way to much the last few days to find time to browse news sites.

Yes, I feel save on the ground too. Specially when I am inside my house.
With all the idiot on the street flying over my house, not so much.
Thank you ignorant anti-apple fanbois.
