i was super jazzed about bittorrent sync because I learned about it around the time Dropbox bent over for NSA and welcomed Condi on board. I don't support companies like that. but my work started blocking bittorrent ports and I'm afraid I'll hit some automated logging system becuase I'm running on a bittorrent client on my computer.
so I'm still looking for a good alternative that's not dropbox. I'm trying out sync.com, it's based in CA so it's immune from normal stupid warrants. but I might go to spideroak and get the full encryption. if it's good enough for snowden it's good enough for me.
a new Mac Pro. I like the CPU options, memory is a bit miserly but I can up that, ah! Hard disk options, external Thunderbolt, dodgy USB 3 or errr.... nothing. Also the internal hard disk was limited to a 256GB SSD. What the fuck is that good for? I want lots of disk all in the same place so I can do lots of database and video work. I don't want to drop another £600 to £1,000 enclosure to get going.
I don't get this. You can daisy chain external hard drives and external monitors to your hearts content. Not sure what you mean by £600 hard drive enclosures, but I think you're doing it wrong.
ADOPT FRIGGIN NORMAL CABLES FOR YOUR IOS DEVICES
USB-C connectors are on their way, go with those. All the advantages of your Lightning cables but not "just ours".
The industry wouldn't bother with USB-c if apple hadn't made lightning. Otherwise regular USB would be "good enough" like it has been for the past decade. Aside from apple the entire electronics industry is about commodity components and a "good enough" attitude about everything.
-1 disagree. SJ was the heart of apple, or the core if you will. He was charasmtatic and a great salesman. At the beginning of apple part 1 and part 2 he had to carry the burden because the company was either small or not functioning well. But cook's apple is a juggernaut with thousands of brilliant and dedicated employees. His strategy is to inspire his people to be great and get out of their way so thereby can do awesome things.
the proof is in there pudding, so to speak. Depending on how you define the market they may or may not be losing a lot of ground to android. The Mac Pro is awesome design but currently a niche product. I like where they're going on software and services, and how their jettisoning old mac apps like iPhoto for lightweight apps like photos originally from iOS. Stock prices are a poor indicator of long term positive decisions, but a good indicator of bad times when the stock is in the he crapper, which it's not.
let's check in again in a couple years. Two long-term dangers: first, he's been getting by on a "great products in the pipeline" story for a bit, and it's time to put up or shut up. A lot of people will be really disappointed if there's not iwatch this year. Second, so much of their revenue is based on just a handful of products, and if the market suddenly shifts against their favor or if they release a dud, then there will be heck to pay.
and the simulator is only as good as the programmer. Google can test in the simulator all they want, I'm sure they do it anyway. But road testing is required regardless. I don't want to be in the beta group for driverless cars when we're going 70MPH on the 101.
I'm not saying it's a scam. I'm saying now that the idea has built momentum and there's money to be made, AGW like TSA or NASA or the F-35 -- it keeps going because influential people are making money. It will be really hard to kill it off.
why would I get a govt desk job at EPA when I can make a fortune in clean technology, driven by the urgency of climate change? real urgency or artificial urgency, the money's still green.
it was fictional. it was about science. what more do you want? I would say Apollo 13 and the right stuff aren't science fiction, but most every other movie involving space is science fiction.
I met a guy who gave me a lyft ride that had submitted a story to anthology. it was about a futuristic spider queen or something like that? I forget his name.
well it would mean that instead of effortlessly deleting your files in an untraceable way, police would be forced to: destroy evidence in an obvious way or b) assaut you or 3) shoot you. either way it leaves a trail.

maybe start-ups shouldn't be putting cars out on the road if they don't have the $$ to test them. I'm still not gonna cry.
google has billions and billions and billions. I'm not going to cry if they have to make a test track.

Agreed. In ios it's sandboxes by design so no app can access any other app's memory. Android sound more and more like windows Xp.
why would I get a govt desk job at EPA when I can make a fortune in clean technology, driven by the urgency of climate change? real urgency or artificial urgency, the money's still green.
dude, there is so much money in AGW that there's no way to stop the gravy train. there's no way you can stop the gravy train.
Are you familiar with Kerbal? Orbital mechanics are drasticly different from ground mechanics and may seem unintuitive when first encountered.
it was fictional. it was about science. what more do you want? I would say Apollo 13 and the right stuff aren't science fiction, but most every other movie involving space is science fiction.
I think it was intended to be an emotional movie, not an analytical movie. Try to enjoy it on the director's terms not on your terms.
yeah but they gave an award to the red wedding and you have to admit that was pretty badass.
I met a guy who gave me a lyft ride that had submitted a story to anthology. it was about a futuristic spider queen or something like that? I forget his name.
I found it extraordinarily tense. walking out of the theater I realized I had been holding my breath for the entire movie.
spanish flu sucked.
my first thought too. probably china.
well then I don't know what to say. I was always impressed that street view was done with satellites.
well it would mean that instead of effortlessly deleting your files in an untraceable way, police would be forced to: destroy evidence in an obvious way or b) assaut you or 3) shoot you. either way it leaves a trail.
what good is having a touch-screen phone if you can't touch?
I'm on CA and I pay $30 for 30 up, 30 down.
I prefer beastie boys
or, more practically, make sure your phone password turns on immediately after the phone is put to sleep, rather than there being a 5 min delay.
