> Many large hotel brands are offering lower nightly rates and other perks to loyalty members who book directly through their sites instead of online travel agencies
Whenever I find the hotel to book on tripadvisor, I call or go to the hotel website to make my reservation. Also I enrolled (for free) on some loyalty program like IHG and have rebates, free wifi (some hotel charge like 20$/day), complimentary drink at the bar, etc and all this for less than all the hotels.com/trivago/expedia/travelocity/whatever sites I see hundreds of ads on TV but never ever went on one of their site.
You have the same theater going in the USA via rail or via air... unfortunately. Only by car/bike/foot is different, but coming by plane/train and it's a mess.
I'm in Québec and went to the USA about 12 times a year for shopping/vacation, now it's more 5 or 6 because the exchange is really bad, except gas and some food we save nothing. There is still a whole lot of Canadians in upper state NY and VT especially in campgrounds, but less in various stores and shopping center buying things.
You are right for some border state city like Plattsburgh that will feel it the most, Burlington is big and can live without Canadian but still some stores will certainly feel it.
Dude, we, old farts, are using RC helicopters for more than 30 years, yes, big 4 feet helicopters running on nitro engine, that can go hundreds of yards away from the pilot. What's up with all this sudden hate? Electric helicopters nowadays make way less noise and are more secure (assisted flight and hovering).
does this guy know that 100% of the linux kernel is written in C? Trying to make work a zillions of devices on an Android platform (USB stuff, camera, etc) and you have to put your hand in pure C. Last time I checked more and more items are running Android, with an old kernel you have to patch.
yeah, the rule of 3:) 3 minutes without air, you die 3 days without water, you die 3 weeks without food, you die but 3 years without facebook or microsoft? nothing happens
About the same... I never had an apple product, I am in Canada so amazon sucks, facebook is useless, I am using linux, but I must say google is pretty useful...
as the Amazon Echo with a 7" screen and a 5MP camera, nobody asked for his PC to become a HomeHub spying on you on everything!
Maybe I'm an old fart but I wil never have something like this in my house, if I want connected thermostat and remote electric blinds, I will do it myself with Arduino.
It is displayed on a screen? so just framegrab this. Your BD player is plugged via HDMI to your TV, all the DHCP stuff is handled there and it's ok, there in the TV the signal is converted to LVDS and there is a big flat ribbon that goes to the LCD matrix. Just here, insert a smal PCB that have a t-con in (and t-con out if you want to see what you will grab), on the PCB there is an FPGA and enough RAM to have 2 frames in memory (~16MB for 1080p), every clock time export the last frame to a PC via a pci-express card, while the new frame is being filled in memory (double buffering). On the PC feed the frame to an encoder like ffmpeg and you have your video.

What? with what money? It is like in France where we have 7 weeks vacation + 3 weeks "work time reduction" + endless days of "holiday bridge" when a holiday is a Tuesday or Thursday + religious holiday + shop that close 3 weeks in summer + shop that close 2 weeks for christmas etc
Traveling needs money, we cannot go in remote vacation/hotel/clubMed one week per month.
Same, my first computer was a ZX81 that my father bought in kit and soldered. I learnt BASIC then assembly on it. Years later I bought an Amstrad CPC6128, still with a Z80:)
I was amazed to see that edonkey2000/kadmelia is still working, I launched amule the other day and a quick searches show that every popular show or movies are there.
Yup, I am, and remember gopher, ircII, usenet, etc before all this shity 2.0 and surveillance from every TLA and government in the world and fast lane and everything.
We old farts should build our own internet, or it's time to bring back the BBS.

Newton August 2, 1993
Penpad March 17, 1993
> Not just that, but Apple hasn't innovated since what, the Newton?
What? The Amstrad PenPad was there before the Newton IIRC, Apple invented nothing.

yes, I have an hourly cron job doing a "jcmd GC.run", works well

There is no garbage collector in C, so it must be the ideal programming language ;-)
Special mention for assembly too.

Same for me, we did not use COMPUTE, so we had things like
ADD A TO B GIVING C
MULTIPLY C BY D GIVING E
etc.

It depends on the price, if it is ~$249 it will be nice especially if we can install a linux distro on it!

Yes, and AFAIK the guy is using iVPN.net but cannot recommend it, it is the one that best fit his need.
