Sure. Actually, I'm watching the news and Bruce Jenner is being used as a jump-off point to a report on the whole trans movement, then hitting the hay. I suspect tomorrow's The View will be interesting.
i wonder how many device generations it will take before the apple watch just charges off of your body's ambient energy field.
Probably right before you die, so it can suck that last breath out of you. Then it will bring you directly to your iFuneral, since all the data about your death is already available, so no autopsy needed. People will be able to come and interact with simulations of you in your iCrypt that are generated from all the data they have on you out there. You are now an iPerson.
When your relatives tire of paying your simulacrums' upkeep, you will then be placed in the Apple Store and sold as a digital companion for $2.99.
That's today. Do you really think they're going to leave it at that? Consumer demand is enough to assure that in the future such devices will report their measurement to the user directly - once one does it, all the companies will have to do it.
The problem here is that enforcement is haphazard. EVERYONE thinks that "just a few seconds" is okay. Bus drivers, cops, soccer moms, punks in their ricers with the coffee-can exhaust pipes...
I can usually tell when someone ahead of me is on the phone - their car slowly drifts left.
Just as the Internet has enabled people to "self-diagnose" all sorts of illnesses they don't have cyberchondria, so will this enable people to take it to the next stage, by "self-diagnosing" symptoms they weren't aware they had.
Wow - talk about someone being a, to use your terms, "fucking piece of shit." The Dunning-Kruger effect strikes again.
Personal computers come in all shapes and sizes, and always have. Remember the attempt to build and market palm-top PCs? And today's Chromebooks don't run windows. Or are you now going to try to claim that laptops aren't personal computers - because that would contradict your claim that it applies only to Microsoft operating systems on x86-compatibles, because many laptops do just that. And tablets. Speaking of which, since your definition includes tablets, what about Windows RT on ARM? No x86 compatibility there. Are you going to claim that a tablet that runs windows on x86 is a PC but (it's a computer that runs windows on x86 - your definition of a PC, not mine), but that the same form factor running on ARM isn't?
It didn't originally, and it doesn't any more. Go to your local big-box retailer and see the chromebooks mixed in with the other pcs.. Don't have a cow, dog!
The thing is, the cpu does not execute the instructions. It cannot. It has to decode them into instructions it CAN execute. Today's cpus are more RISC than CISC. If they were still stuck with CISC, we wouldn't have had the speed gains we've seen.
So don't call me an idiot if you didn't understand this.
My 1-year-old Android only needed a reboot after upgrading to lollipop. I suspect many people have the same experience, so we'll only hear about the ones who have problems - a self-selection process.
When someone sends me a text or an email, there's no "he said - she said" disputes over what was said. Try doing that with your home phone.
If you have that problem often enough to care, you need better friends, not a better phone!
Sorry, no can do. Friends may come and friends may go, but family is forever. Being able to scotch a problem about what was written by saying "Please read what you wrote again" is a lot better than "well, you said..." There's a reason why we call the game "Broken Telephone.":-)
The randomly generated web pages look so much like real kickstarter project web sites. How long before the usual suspects use this as an "idea generator" for even more TTMAR kickstarter campaigns than we've already been subjected to?
My smartphone fits in my pocket or purse a lot easier than my video camera.
My smartphone has GPS to help me when I get lost walking around downtown. It's hard to get back on track if you've taken a few wrong turns with just a sheet of directions. Ditto with shortcuts when I'm cycling.
You can't call 9-1-1 away from home if you don't have some sort of mobile phone - and obviously most car accidents, as well as a lot of other bad things, happen outside the home.
I can listen to the radio and my own music collection without having to drag around a separate device devoted to that - just headphones.
I don't need a watch with my smartphone. Or a calendar. Or a pen and paper for notes.
When someone sends me a text or an email, there's no "he said - she said" disputes over what was said. Try doing that with your home phone.
I don't have to drag a book along if I think I might have to wait a while somewhere.
When someone absolutely has to get hold of me no matter what, they can. Can't say that with a land line.
Example: A (rather old) neighbor had fallen and broken his hip in a nearby parking lot during a heavy snow storm. He lay there for 2 hours before someone who had decided to take the same shortcut to the store came across him. If he had replaced his land line with a cheaper mobile device, he could have phoned for help immediately. It's just luck that he didn't have to spend the night outside.
There are so many reasons to swap the land line for a smartphone - which explains why 40% of the population has one wireless phone service.
You've proven that you can't write properly - so, what gives you the qualifications to judge potential hires? You don't have the chops to vet the quality of the documentation they generate, people will always wonder if they should follow what you wrote or what you meant, and your many misuses of words will be judged by others, both inside and outside the business, as an indicator of both lower intelligence and lower quality control.
That you can't see this shows that YOUR cognitive toolkit is too limited, and as such, it's defective. Which of course means that your "logic" isn't based on reality.
Again, see Dunning-Kruger, and maybe take a peak at the Peter Principle while you're at it.
Am I a careful driver? Well, lets see... over more than 3 decades of driving, including at least a decade as my job, I've never had an accident, so I'd say that yes, others could take a few safety tips.
My original point was this: "Someone seems to have forgotten that using a cell phone while driving is illegal." Even if you're using it as a GPS, unless it's mounted, it's illegal. And I haven't seen a single non-commercial vehicle with a phone mount. People just don't buy them. Those that do are "statistical noise." Ask the cops who give out the tickets. If, for example, you're using bluetooth but you pick up the phone to dial a number, you're dead.
You're a bit behind the times. Both Linux and OS X are now more vulnerable operating systems than Windows.
Show me one Linux vulnerability in the last year that didn't require a highly skilled attacker combined with a set of highly unlikely conditions, or rely on the system to be poorly configured. Hell, forget the year limit. Show me one from within the last decade. Good Luck!
I guess you've forgotten about this. Or you can search for ShellShock or Heartbleed. And then there are the kernel bugs that cause race conditions last December, or last May's bug that allows users to get privileged access or do a DoS, not too good in a shared hosting / shared server environment. This bug has nothing to do with a "poorly configured system". It's a flaw.
I've used GPS - my smartphone has it. Your attempts to try to look superior (while also moving the goal posts) because you made a mistake "don't impress me much."
Play the video repeatedly, using a hi-res camera to focus on a different rectangle of the screen each time. Use the zoomed images to calculate the actual pixel value (since you'll most often have each part of the sensor picking up parts of each pixel and dark space, so you're doing a reverse sub-sampling). Stitch them all together.
And I'm supposed to be a mind-reader and reply to what you meant instead of what you wrote? There already are enough managers out there that pull that crap. We don't need to add to it.

Love the joke!
Well, if you try the magic number 0xCAFEBABE (3405691582) you get CampaignNow, so you're probably right.
Because the e was already there before it got cool.
Being a hipster was never cool. Heck, if you need proof, try going here - it redirects to aol. :-)
This will lead to the next big disease - malusdomesticaphobia - the fear of apples (yes, it's a real term).

I for one do not welcome our Apple alien probes.

You can't have it both ways.

Not here it ain't -- those are carriages.
Doesn't invalidate my point that "rail car" is valid. I give you a -1 Pedantry fail.

Here's the security vulnerability list for the linux kernel for 2014, with 133 bugs.
Some of these bugs made the evening news, so I don't know how you missed them all,
You've already shown you intentionally misinterpret stuff. So, please do it again as I say "have a nice day."
I've used GPS - my smartphone has it. Your attempts to try to look superior (while also moving the goal posts) because you made a mistake "don't impress me much."
With an aging population, 1920x1080 will be what the eyeballs can use, and anything higher will be money spent for nothing.
