I'm a mac fan, but I have to say that apple screwed the pooch with mavericks on this one. for the stock apple programs they got rid of the save button entirely and now everything auto saves. This is ok, but the really bad part is they got rid of save as - you know, you make some changes but decide you want to keep the original so you make this file v2 or whatever? Even worse, bowing to pressure they added back in the save as, but accessible as a secondary choice with option-click.
the whole thing is just weird and to tell you the truth it made me stop using the apple programs so I never got used to it or fully figured it out.
that's fine, but that's a discussion of the mechanism of collapse, not the cause of the collapse. I challenge anybody to try to post a logical theory of "guvmt causing 9/11".
Yeah, I'm guessing they didn't include the cooling apparatus in the 'shoebox' dimensions.
One thing I don't get. When you have a 1 meter shoebox, is that like a regular shoebox stretched to one meter, or a really big giant shoebox for big giant shoes.
a follow on to this that is more personal. Without a doubt EFF has been owned 20 times over by NSA, not to mention anybody who works as a director of internet civil civil liberties. Personal stuff too. emails, bank records. Email accounts of your family, friends, and friends of friends (3 hops)! And unlike most NSA snooping which seems to be captured for the glee of capturing, your stuff is probably pretty closely monitored.
do you think about this or worry about this? does it change your online behavior, or relationships with friends and family?
Do-not-track only means you're going to end up with ads you hate. It's not a "do-not-advertise". It's not going to stop ads at all.
are you a google shill? because you're doing a great job attempting to spin their bs lies.
DO NOT TRACK means exactly what it says. don't track my movements, don't put me in a huge database, don't intrude on my life and spy on my behavior. It should be the functional equivalent of surfing in "incognito" mode.
goog tried to subvert this into "do not serve targeted ads" which basically means they'll still track you.
I'm glad you worked really well from the political propaganda playbook that redefined words to mean the opposite. You're the most recent in a proud line from Stalin to Pailn.
I always thought of the americas as comprising three sections - america, north america (i.e. canada), and south america (i.e. mexico and below). the description in the summary seems fine to me.
it's sad because he's obviously a nut case after being in solitary and is lashing out with nasty language. He'll get over it after some R&R and therapy for several months. But he'll be branded with this for his whole life. I doubt he really understood the consequences of his actions, or didn't care because he was swept up with delerium.
what I'm saying is from a technical perspective Roku only has insight into what you watch on your roku box. They can't also see what DVDs you play or what cable channels you watch. From a technical perspective the set top boxes are much more restricted and sandboxed than a smart tv. or xbone for that matter!
well here's the deal, Yoshi - the suckyness of a remote is directly connected with the number of buttons it has. So these Logitech remotes that have dozens of buttons and features that you never use? fail hard. Give me something with less than tenbuttons. power change input source mute d-pad.
the dpad can be used for channel up/down and volume up/down in some contexts, and for menu control in other contexts. Then I'm done - seacrest out!
problem is that it's not like all tvs are available in a dumb version and a smart version for an add on fee. If you have specific requirements in mind (size, design, inputs, etc) and a specific budget, you are best served to choose the best tv based on these items and ignore whether or not it is "smart". then, you can choose to enable smart features by plugging it in.
Governments should assess the societal cost of each inmate who continues to commit crimes and offer half of that to the prison if the inmate emerges properly rehabilitated, perhaps in lieu of the normal per-inmate payments.
dude, how much could I be paid if I went out and did a crime and confessed so I was a "first time offender" who could be rehabilitated?
No, they have created a kook. Anyone that considers mass murders to be "patriots", and thinks that the likes of McVeigh, Stack and Heemeyer are admirable, has lost all credibility.
actually, mcveigh is a terrorist mass murderer, but stack and heemeyer are fellow kooks and crazies. neither of them killed anybody. stack stole a tank from a military base in san diego and led police on a low-speed chase and crunched several parked cars (no ammunition in the tank). heermeyer had a crazy grudge with the city where he lived, so he bought a bulldozer, "armored it" by reinforcing all sides with concrete and steel, then demolished several city buildings. In both cases, these dudes died (stack killed by police when the broke open the tank, heermeyer suicide when his bulldozer broke down.
the sad news is that by sending out this "manifesto" weev made sure he will always be on a terrorist watchlist and will never fly again.
the diff is that roku can only track what you do on roku, and amazon can only track what you do on amazon. but your tv can track and report on everything that you do.
why not buy the best tv you want based on the price and features that are important to you, then just don't plug it in to the internet??? that way you're not shackled if a company doesn't want to make a dumb tv.
speaking of shackled and dumb, you know what's a huge pet peeve of mine? When you go to best buy or wherever and they have a huge bank of TVs, but you can't see the most important thing - the remote control! the remote control is something you touch every day and if it doesn't work well then that sucks.
"just get a universal remote!" --unwashed masses
I don't like universal remotes becuase they're overly complex and by virtue of being designed for all tvs, they're not a great fit for any tv. Nothing's better than a simple well laid out ergonomic remote with thoughtful design. But you can't see this at best buy!! Try next time you're there, requesting to see the remote control.
another thing that bugs me? start up time! it takes forever for my samsung tv to start up. I understand screen delay because of the lighting or whatever. But at least make a chime right away? What happens is I push the button and nothing happens, so I wonder if my button press registered, so I press it again but the TV did turn on before so now I'm actually turning it off, so I step away for a couple mins to have it settle into a particular state (on or off, just make up your mind!) then I try again.

i have netflix-dl. it's a camcorder pointed at my monitor. 1080p60 ftw! lots of rolling scan lines though...
srsly? why does this conspiracy theory live on? it's illogical on a factual basis alone, let alone on a motivation basis.

my Logitech remote has ~30 buttons (not counting the number pad) and the remote that came with my TV has ~25.
Maybe your original TV remote was crappy too?
But as far as programmable remotes go, of which I've been using since I 1st had a programmable remote in the 90's, it is damn good.
as far as shit sandwiches go, this one doesn't taste too bad.

central america is a synonym for america which is a synonym for US.

if you teach kids to add, pretty soon they'll start wanting to think for themselves and only bad things can come of that.

and the guy who drove an armored bulldozer through city hall? he sounds like a nut case to me.

That's why it makes sense to slash funding and revoke our consent to be governed.
