  1. As far as I know Xamarin is the company behind the already open source mono and the only Xamarin branded product I know of is Xamarin studio which is just a proprietary monodevelop. So I too would like to know what is Xamarin, why is this a big deal, and why should I care?

    Nope all you get is those that freely opt in to this program. If there is no twitch.tv blame twitch not T-mobile.

    Forgot link http://www.engadget.com/2007/0... so TFA is wrong, it doesn't even beat records for and intel processor it literally is just a new skylake record.

  4. The skylake broke the record for OCing a skylake CPU, big whoop.

    B-b-but that's what they all say........

  6. You can't have unlimited even with no throttling you will always be limited by the speed. I find it kind of weird how they tie data caps to speeds but not speeds to data caps. My home internet is 75 Mbs but does that mean I can use 75 Mbs 24/7? No. Do these wireless providers hard cap you? No. If anything I think this throttling is much more fair and truthful than advertising speeds with caps.

  7. 16 nm vs 14 nm on Not All iPhone 6s Processors Are Created Equal (itworld.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It's kind of interesting the CPU built on a larger process is faster, cooler, and has less power draw.

  8. Re:Good for them on Prison Debate Team Beats Harvard's National Title Winners · · Score: 2

    I just had a crazy thought, what if we provided alternate path to prevent crime before it happens? Rather than giving the incarcerated a free higher education our money should be spent giving the poor and so called "at risk" a higher education. Don't get me wrong I'd love to see everyone, including the incarcerated, get a free education but why should criminals get it above all else? Giving a free education to those in prison is treating the symptom not the cause.

    They caused the TNT to explode by using C4, if they would have cut the wires instead of using explosives on a bomb it would have worked.

    Exactly! You cut them all simultaneously and the bomb won't go off.

  12. Re:Apple pretty much had to on Why Apple's iPhone Upgrade Program Is a Bad Deal For Most · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I was mistaken you don't have to turn it in, which begs the question why is this such a big deal? This whole thing is almost like a credit card only INTEREST FREE!

  13. Re:Apple pretty much had to on Why Apple's iPhone Upgrade Program Is a Bad Deal For Most · · Score: 1

    Except you are pretty much paying the full price of the phone, with a car you usually pay around 250 * 24 = 6000 of a 20000 or more car. I can't see leasing if you have to pay the full price only to have the privilege of turing it in in a year or two. Apple is probably going to make cash hand over fist with this because people will be basically buying the phone only to give it back to apple for free so they can refurbish and resell it.

  14. Chromebooks. on Ask Slashdot: Cheapest Functional Computer For Students? · · Score: 2

    Not sure you can get cheaper than the mentioned chromebooks, even if there were a good 20 dollar option you'd still need a keyboard, mouse and monitor at minimum.

    Pretty much. If I was rich and could still gain ridiculous amounts of wealth while giving billions away why wouldn't I? I mean you are buying good tons of good will while losing nothing, in fact you are still gaining albeit a little more slowly.

    Because nature is a slacker and it does the bare minimum when pushed until it's pushed again? That's how evolution works bro.

  17. It would be nice. on Valve Introduces Steam Refunds In Advance of Summer Sale · · Score: 1

    It would be nice if the guaranteed refunds were automatic. I bought a game about a week ago played it for about 10 minutes and hated the controls. When this program launched yesterday I asked for a refund and though it is "guaranteed" I still have not received a response from steam support.

  23. Yea but we release our treated sewage so the new water has been tainted so it is basically recycled water, also I'm sure our intake is not in a remote ocean location. There might be "clean water" out there but I'm fairly certain we are still using recycled water even if we aren't directly recirculating sewage into the tap.

  24. Pardon my ignorance but I thought this was happening since forever. I mean doesn't conservation of matter pretty much guarantee everything is just recycled?
