I just ran across my Selective Service packet from the 80s. I had thought they discontinued it, but I guess I was incorrect.
>And yes, female US citizens are not subject to this at all.
Clearly sexism, but it doesn't really matter because they won't reinstate the draft. The government couldn't get away with insane crap like the Iraq invasion if anyone's kids could wind up there.
It's pretty easy to find my phone in my pocket, and the phone is only pocketed when on foot. Maybe you're thinking of a large purse rather than a pocket.
>The idea that it's unimaginable to wear a watch without a heartrate monitor is quite entertaining though.
Of course it's not unimaginable, but a smart watch should do more than the phone that it's paired with. The conversation has nothing to do with dumb watches. Glad your confusion entertained you though.
It would be nice if these viewers could log actor's screen time so that could be used in ranking when searching for actors. I did a search for Steve Coogan, and he was only in the first search result "In The Loop" for about a minute. Peter Capaldi, the next Doctor, was good in it though, so it was worth watching.
Why would anyone want to strap a watch to their wrist if it's not picking up heart rate, body temp, movement, etc... If it just has Android functionality, I already have a HTC One M8 that can do everything it does and more. I'll stick with my Basis smart watch until I can get the health tracking and the Android functionality in the same package.
Making fun of stupid, superstitious beliefs is now bigotry? How else do you suggest getting religious chumps to wise up? Education cures many of them as young people, but once someone has failed to reason their way out of religion by adulthood, they're very resistant to reality-based information. Are you a religious chump?
You haven't seen miracles, because miracles are imaginary. Just like your imaginary lord, serf. Name one person that prayed to have an amputated limb grow back and got their limb back. Spontaneous remission of disease isn't a miracle, but might be seen as such by soft-headed religious types.
Correct. Confidential data should only go over an encrypted email system like we use in health care to protect PHI. It's bizarre that they're eve able to send a confidential report over plaintext email, which is the equivalent of a postcard.
>The only way that's sustainable is if they compensate you for never being able to make a living again.
Correct. A non-compete is only ethical if it comes with enough cash that you don't have to work in your field for many years. The alternative is having a former employer continue to control the employee without compensation, which is slavery.
>I'm going to be surprised if Amazon wins this one, even in the People's Democratic Republic of California.
You seem out of touch with reality. Civilized people do much more to protect the little guy, so non-competes do not fly in California. It's the employer-worshiping conservatives (all hail the job-creators) that you have to watch out for.
>Wasn't it only a year or two ago about how we were congratulating ourselves on not having to wear watches,
>because hey, everyone's got a smart phone and you can just check the time on that.
That was obviously short-sighted and just plain dumb. And I say that as someone who made that very claim. I just didn't anticipate all the health tracking and messaging functionality that would become available in watches.
>I don't wear a watch day-to-day. When I do wear one, it's with a suit as a fashion accessory. And I seriously doubt smart watches will ever look classy. Flashy, yes. Classy, no.
Smarter people don't really care about a watch looking "classy" since that's just a euphemism for an embarrassing show of wealth. We want functionality that will enhance our lives.
> It is just a way of looking for applause from the plebs.
That's extremely cynical. Maybe you should talk to your therapist about your negativity, you might get more out of life if you were a less bitter person.
It's more likely that he just likes to spend time in line with tech enthusiasts.
For mine, I wear it because it tracks my heartbeat, perspiration, body temp, and activity. Do you have an alternative to a watch that can do all these things?
This demonstrates the fact that people who are very smart in one area can mistake themselves for experts in an unrelated area where they're totally incompetent. Jobs over-estimation of his own abilities wound up killing him when he confidently went for fantasy-based fake medicine due to his total lack of expertise regarding medicine.
>Then make a tablet with only USB host, USB device (separate to allow charging while acting as a host), audio, microSD,
>and Thunderbolt (which should cover everything else). Or is Thunderbolt too power-hungry for a tablet?
Thunderbolt seems like overkill for a tablet, but a separate USB host socket in addition to the charging port is a great idea, and an SD slot is crucial in a tablet.
>You can even setup a cronjob or a windows task to open the website on a regular basis if you are extra forgetful or lazy.
Yes, because that's something normal people routinely do...or you're totally disconnected from reality, but just smart enough to realize that you're stupid, so you posted as an AC.

You seem to be confusing normal with paranoid. Normal men don't try to avoid the women they work with due to imagined dangers.
>As much as everyone has reason to hate Manuel Noriega
Yep
> I want to see him win this, including punitive damages. Activision is that bad of a company.
That's a poor reason to want someone to win a lawsuit. If he wins it should be because his suit has merit.
The writing on that show was awful, but the technologies portrayed were nice.

I agree with most of your post, but when I made that claim to a friend who's into sports, he pointed out that the fans are financing the whole thing.

You would want it to not be able to install applications from the best app store? That's a little odd. What's the story behind that?

No you're not, when the email was sent by mistake.

The unethical, and generally unenforceable contract that he signed. You left out that part in your zeal to defend his corporate master.

It turns out that you're way behind the times iggymanz, so it's hilariously ironic that you're talking about watches being part of the past.

You're coming across like a deranged wingnut. Can't you clowns stick to the nutjob sites like Fox and Breitbart?
