If Glass were done right, with a Microvision-type retinal-projection display, it could replace the 6" screen. If they could double as sunglasses, so much the better.
Everything else is a matter of miniaturization and battery life. I would take an E:FC-style Global with a roll-out screen in the meantime, though.
As in ""Overall, about half of adult Facebook users, or 47 percent, 'ever' get news there,"
What does this mean? 53% of Facebook users never read their wall? Or they do but none of their friends post news stories? They have very poor memories? The question confused them?
Facebook won't let others access information like which news stories are the most posted, but if they did it would actually make a decent news aggregator, without implicit editorial bias. One of my favorite news feeds used to be "Yahoo Most Emailed" - interesting stuff that was never on the front page of news site with editorial story selection.
I'd love to join that kind of data with my own selection of what constitutes a credible source (boy, do my friends love to post nonsense from naturalnews...).
Yeah, the two way to get customers is to do marketing or to have your users spread word of how great your product is. I never saw either on these guys. Great products have the latter, good products have both, and danger-danger products have only the former. With neither, I guess it's somebody's pet project.
At least you're using insurance responsibly - does the company ever ask for any kind of audit?
I quit a job at the largest medical center in my area because the PHB's were ignoring the advice of the technical staff and insisting on buying inferior database software that was going to cause medication errors. We estimated a rate of seven mix-ups per year (due to single phase commits among disparate systems) and the bosses calculated that it would be cheaper to settle the lawsuits than to do it the right way. Fortunately, that project failed and they outsourced the whole thing five years later (most of the original talent left).
Going after app vendors is just the low-hanging fruit. Like busting shoplifters while letting the banksters ruin the economy. Oh, wait, then, nevermind.
This is my real take-away from the article: DPR trusted nobody for important things that need trust and trusted many people for things that should not have had trust (e.g. doing co-lo in San Franscisco). He could have easily hired two(+) attorneys in foreign jurisdictions and had them combine the key parts in the event of his capture and transfer the funds to a legal defense fund. Obviously, he didn't or the FBI would have bupkis.
If you have the guts to condemn someone to die, I think you should also have the guts to execute that penalty.
This was Grover Cleveland's position when he was Sheriff in NY State. He didn't much care for the hangings, but he pulled the gallows himself because he didn't think it was right to farm out the job to an executioner, since it would make "justice" too easy to come by.
He was perhaps the finest example of what the ideal President would look like if he embraced the American system.
No, no, the Chief Justice doesn't know what he's talking about, but Slashdotter thaylin does. At least that's what the mods think (we're so screwed...).
Well, it's unlikely that the Republic of Iowa would be devoting resources to spying on Chancellor Merkel. There's probably some point where one government is too big, too rich, and too powerful.
Perhaps not coincidentally, the population of Iowa is about the same as the the entirety of the United States when it was formed. Some system designs don't scale indefinitely.
QNX is rock solid - no doubt. But people want devices with lots of features and lots of hardware support, and hardware developers want to develop on an open source OS with royalty free licensing. So, Android runs on linux.
The real question is, when will Debian/Ubuntu/Redhat/Suse be verified?
Redhat has been verified by the CentOS team. If you read the -devel mailing list from back when it was done, it was a real pain in the ass. "Compile this SRPM on this version of Fedora with this version of this library installed", etc.
But they did it, after a long effort, and got binary matches.
They are always like this - especially if the vendors can keep the source secret. I've taken to running VLAN's at home - mostly WNDR3800 refurbs ($50 w/ Prime) running OpenWRT and GS-108T switches (poor GUI, but linux inside), feeding to a pfSense instance. Anything that's not all open source goes on an isolated VLAN that can't get traffic to or from anywhere without an explicit rule. pfSense makes it pretty easy to set up a VPN to get to data on the inside, so outside ports don't need to be open.
I set it up as best-practices, but with Bull Run, D-Link, this, and other similar stories, it seems like an even better idea in retrospect. If I were the NSA, I'd want a backdoor in Roku.
The schools teach that if you vote in an election, then your interests will be represented by your elected officials. Informed adults know that's such a steaming crock, but do we really expect government schools to teach that? Meanwhile, most voters don't bother to get informed (they did that in school, right?).
Heck, my kids' school teaches that Columbus thought the Earth was flat and that Lincoln started the Civil War to end slavery - it's mostly all folklore with the varnish of history.
Someone who doesn't drive nevertheless benefits from, say, a supermarket whose goods got there by road; and there are countless other examples of how someone who never sets foot out of the house benefits from roads.
Yeah, but in decent jurisdictions, they pay a penny more for a bunch of carrots, to help offset the fuel tax which pays for the road maintenance. The non-drivers don't need to be more connected to the roads than that.
I went to an Adobe Flex party in Boston shortly after the Macromedia acquisition. The visuals were really good, the development model looked nice, I was pretty stoked. Then I found out that the SDK was proprietary and difficult to extend, that the licensing was deployment-based, and that the front-end was also proprietary and limited regarding devices it would run on.
That was enough to not look at it again. I just am reading now that they gave up on that, tried to give it away, and eventually dumped it on Apache.
Still today, look for an environment that is open, extensible, runs its output on standards-based devices, and also one that has a vibrant community and a good contribution model. Avoid monolithic solutions, but rather parts that do their jobs well and play nice with others.
There was a Mac game called A10-Attack which had multiple views. We'd put three NuBus cards in a Mac IIci and have front and side window views. It was pretty fun, and we didn't even think about being cooked by being inside the CRT zone. The screens *were* supposed to be windows, so the illusion didn't need to worry about the gap between screens.

Somebody paid almost $700 for a fucking LaserDisc!!!
Somebody paid $700 for lost RoTJ footage - if it were on 70mm or D1 it still wouldn't have made much difference.

Get on with life, and leave Linux in the server room, where it belongs.
No, linux belongs on students' old PC's - real server computing is done with ULTRIX, IRIX, OSF/1, or HP/UX.
Do.com? Manymoon.com? Sorry... No clue.

You'd be lucky to have signal in avalanche country in the first place, much less through the snowpack.

Trust needs to be managed, not avoided.
He's at least the second - google should find you the longer version. Suffice it to say, the first DPR is retired and living like a king in Patagonia.
Everyone is a reporter now.
Is it any wonder that Feinstein is trying to license reporters?
He'll get lots of fans this way - some of them will write to him in Gitmo.

Irony is these are the guys who were dodging bullets from Germans who were "just following orders" too.

You seem to have missed the Montevideo Statement a few weeks back. All of the Internet governance bodies are going NGO.

Goodness, that was eighteen years ago.
