When do you think you're going to get back together? A year or two or five? By the time you do, you'll be entirely different people outside of this little virtual world you're trying to create. You'll both be growing and expanding yourselves outside of this contrived connection and this relationship you're hanging onto will have become nostalgic role playing.
China manufactures all our stuff then packages it and ships it to us. We take our stuff out of the packages and ship the waste material back to China to be recycled into packaging for the next ship load of stuff.
The only reason you could want to ban cameras is to hide your mistakes. You have no expectation of privacy in public, especially when you're working to protect and serve the public. If anything, this shows why cameras should be MANDATORY. With cameras on every responder and 360 degrees of coverage from the top of every vehicle. If you screw up, you need to know it, determine liability, see what led to the mistake(s), and develop ways to avoid screwing up like that in the future.
It serves no purpose at all except to fragment the market. If you go with Apple or Android, both of your portable devices are on the same basic level. I run mostly the same programs on my phone and tablet. Some run better on one than the other but very few apps that I use are not compatible with both devices.
The Surface Pro gives users the option of putting their desktop and tablet on the same footing. This is awesome! It's an area that's been woefully underserved. There have been a handful of "full windows" tablets but they were heavy and thick and expensive. The Pro finally gives people a sleek tablet that runs their desktop apps.
But WTF is RT supposed to do? It doesn't run the same apps as the desktop. It doesn't run the same apps as the phone. Unless developers completely re-write their apps to the Metro standard, there's no commonality.
240 miles away is perfectly reasonable for someone suspected to be on the run. [Insert The Fugitive quotes here.] 240 miles at an average speed of 50mph is under 5 hours. Hell, in 10 hours, they can be in New Mexico at a very leisurely pace.
As for the content of the alert, it would be nice if there was more info but what more do you need than "Amber Alert" and the vehicle description? The cops don't want you to take them down. They want you to report the location of the vehicle if you see it. That doesn't require the life history of the people involved or a thorough report of the event.
When I quit my last job, I was there for 5 weeks after saying, "I'm gonna go ahead and leave." I said I could stay as long as they needed to have a smooth transition but that was clearly a mistake. 2 weeks in, absolutely nothing had been done to transfer my tasks so I set a firm date for 3 weeks later. Had all my tasks documented but no direction on who would take over. Another week goes by. "Who is taking over these tasks?" And another. "Who is taking over these tasks? I would really feel more comfortable walking them through their first week." [cricket_chirps] A couple days before I left, I emailed my documentation to the remaining department employees with one last reminder that, even if everything else is ignored, backups and archiving are very important and require daily attention. I assume they figured things out without catastrophic failures because they're still around.
Same here except substitute Verizon for AT&T and hotels for Starbucks. One time, I was staying in a motel in the middle of a large city and their internet service felt as slow as satellite. Huge latency, mediocre speeds. When I went out to the car, I saw a friggin' DirecWay dish at the end of the building. I could only assume that they had some ridiculous contract that required they put satellite internet at all of their locations. Another hotel limited their free internet to 1mb down. If you wanted 10mb, you had to pay something like $10/day. Ridonkulous.
Now I just fire up the hotspot on my phone and get service almost as fast as my cablemodem at home and nobody else can [easily] access the data on my WPA2 connection. If I was really paranoid, I'd use wired tethering. Even if I'm really out in the sticks, I still get 3G and that's plenty good for surfing.
When the fark did Amazon ever underprice ebooks? When the kindle launched, the ebook price point was around $10. More than a brand new paperback. New titles got hardcover prices.
What you're supposed to do is start with a ridiculously obnoxious light, then back it down to the one you want. 1200 watts, pulsing randomly, and buzzing loudly. After a month of that, you placate your neighbor by putting up the regular light you really want. You have to properly condition them to accept raised levels of annoyance.
I'm trying to figure out how any of this refutes what I said. My gaming rig with two video cards has four dual-link DVI connections, two DisplayPort connections, and two HDMI connections. Right this very second, I'm typing on it as it treats three 2560x1440 monitors as a single 7680x1440 display device at 32 bits of color depth and 60Hz refresh rate using three dual-link DVI cables. Dual-link DVI cables aren't sorcery. They start at $4.19 at monoprice.
I understand the need to split the screen into tiles to get a higher refresh rate with current connectivity options but it seems it would have made more sense to do it as three 1280x2160 panels because both of the major video card manufacturers are already on board with presenting three screens as a single display. Been doing it for ages now. Yeah, it's an extra cable to run but it works right now. Eyefinity from ATI and Surround from Nvidia would handle this just fine. At most they'd need a minor driver update to provide the unusual resolution.
because they didn't have enough separation. For crying out loud, even I can see that it's still attached to the source when it hits the bottom, then there's a Rock Bottom style cut where someone lifts the source and the drop breaks off. So now they're going to have to move it up a few inches and wait another decade to try again. Why the Hell isn't this mentioned in the article. It's just completely ignored.
Actually, Microsoft was on phones long before Apple. It was called PocketPC in 2000. Switched to Windows Mobile in 2003. Then Windows Phone in 2010. They had around 40% market share in 2007. Which is when the iPhone came out. I had WinMo phones back in the day. That was the phone to get if you wanted apps, the ability to run a cellular data WiFi router, etc.
The iPhone was Apple's response to MS, RIM, and Palm. Not the other way around. And their response crushed the competition.

I can get a Van Gogh print for $20. A dollar at a yard sale if I don't haggle. That's just as real to me as any other reproduction.
Dude, let it go man, because it's over.

If I have $34,000 to spend on an art, I'm going to buy a genuine art, not a reproduction.

SF's fire chief needs a swift kick in the groin.
If it doesn't fit in your pocket, it's too big to carry.
Unless it's part of your job and you're looking for some sort of tech tool belt.
Chant it with me. RT! Should not be!

...it's still Ikea furniture. I'm sure I'm not their target demographic, tho. 15-20 years ago, sure.

It's not NoKo tech. It's Chinese hardware and American (and other) software imported to NoKo.

What could possibly go wrong?
India has nuclear weapons. Sleep tight.
Makes sense.
Can anyone explain why my Morton's Popcorn Salt isn't iodized?
Don't forget the "salt will kill you" campaign. I remember that as far back as the 80s.
