I just checked and Bose QuietComfort Headphones have a jack so you can connect to a device via audio connector. The only BT headphones that don't have the port are inexpensive noname ones, or brands like Soundbot. ( around $!5-$20 ).
As for devices i would never get one without an audio port.Most of the time I don't miss it, but there are a few times when i need it. Usualy when I need it I really need it.
Not what we want to watch. Even when we want to watch it, what they recommend is a like a double layer 35" thick crust sauasge, beef, pepperoni pizza.
We want it, but we avoid it because it isnot good for us. But they keep shoving it under our noses.
I remember a company I once worked for. It was a voice verification technology. A mike picks up your voice and decides it's you.
One day we learned that the Defense Department was investing. We joked "Why to Guard the nuclear arsenal?" Answer "Yeah".
Our reaction. "The world is doomed."
Every technical person left the company. Including the people responsible for the recognition science. This was a company that literally had 200% annual turnover.
A few years later, Bush v Gore. I'm listening to some guy as a guest on a radio talk show. He's talking about implementing a internet voting system using voice verification using you guessed it this companies technologies.
You know what? I've been hearing about dead voting all my life. About districts that report more votes then registered voters. About people being register who moved a long time ago.
Instead all sorts of new voting systems which have all sorts fo new flaws lets first fix the present flaws.
When you ask to eject the system does one thing. It unmounts.
When the system unmounts it does three things:
1) It checks for open files.
2) It syncs aka It flushes the buffers.
3) It makes sure the drive is in a state that it can be disconnected--any work the devicee is doing is done.
Aside from 3. 1 turns out to be very important. Often times when I eject, I'm told I can't. When I issue a lsof ( list open files ) command on that drive, I get the some process which I go through. Sometimes it's some sort of zombie. Most of the time I have a shell that is open on a directory in that drive. But some of the times I have a file open in a process that I forgot about. Other times it's a process that opens a file in it's background that i don't know about.
Then unmounting the drive saved me from losing data or corrupting a program accidentally, by making sure the programs using that drive were all properly shut off. Asking the system to ejeect saved my ass.
As for 2. I've practices like flushing buffers come and go. There was a reason that buffering and flushing were implemented. maybe in this go around, that reason is no longer valid and you may not need to eject to make sure that buffering is properly flushed. Fine. But what I've learned is that it is likely that sometime in the future, the next generation of even faster practices will require you to once again have to be sure that the buffers are flushed. Teech goes that way, back and forth between practices. THe safer thing to do is to request an eject from the OS.
Correction. Pravada ( AFAIK ) is no longer around. It was never around in Russia. It was the official propaganda outlet of the Communist party of the USSR.
from collecting data. Rather it's to put out a lot of data about yourself that is false. Then when the system becomes gummed up with false data, it will have no value and companies will stop collecting it.
But making the tablets hard to repair makes Apple Care that much more costly. What is more, by making tablets hard to repair Apple limits the third party repaior companies which might undercut Apple Care.
I raised this very question (Star Trek, transporter experiment) to my daughter when she was a teenager. Her response was, what's the difference? Our atoms have already largely completely changed over many times by now anyway. I recall reading years ago, I think it was a Time Life book or perhaps an educational movie, that we're all breathing, and thus by implication incorporating, some fraction of the actual atoms that Leonardo da Vinci breathed; a matter of statistics. Of course, that still leaves the question of whether your consciousness this very instant is already a different "thing" that it was a second ago, and only your current state of your memory leads you to believe that it is the same.
Continuity. The majority of our atoms are the same in a single day, only a small fraction change. Essentially we are a continuous entity. In a transporter, your atoms all change at once. A discontinuous change.
Actually in pne of the early Vopyager episodes they sort of did that. When Naoimi what's her name was born, they had to do a birth by transport. They transporteed her out of the womb.
I presume something like healing a broken bone, they might not be able to access the buffer to edit. Only to create and destroy the object. Not even being fully able to make a copy ) so for example, when Kirk was spit in two it wasn't a copy that was created, it was just half his atoms were reconstructed once the other half were reconstructed the second time. But for something like a heart transplant they could beam out the old heart beam in the new heart with microbots to finish the surgery.
Assume three things.
1) there exists a soul.
2) The soul lingers after death.
3) A person "dies" after being transported, and a new person, with a new soul is born.
That would mean that for every living thing there would be hundreds if not thousands of souls that used the body around. They would have mostly the same memory.
Where would all the souls be kept? Would they hang around with each other?
Of course there is the solution that Niven proposed in a short story, that God would kill a race before it learned to transport. So that just as a scientist learns to transport, God rains down all sorts of destruction.
OK state efforts may be useful, but Congress and the courts? Forget about it.
At the federal level, just plain stupid.
What happens if Congress or the courts overturn the FCC? Let's say Comcast violates net neutrality. What happens then? How do you handle it. Answer: file a complaint with the FCC. Which then sits on it.
The way to federal enforce net neutrality is create an agreeable FCC. The chances of that are gone for the foreseeable future. They were gone when the ISPs pushed the idea that net neutrality was an attempt to regulate the internet [1] and radical lefties jumped on the chance to paint it that way.
[1]It's not. It's a change in regulations. The internet was already one of the most heavy regulated industries.
Given existing case law, his is probably constitutional. Keep in mind they are not barring speech, merely taxing it.
OTOH, how would they enforce it? Certainly they could watch sites like https://bigbazzoms.com, but people could simply start some google group, or subreddit where they post URLS to places like rapidshare.
Microsoft creates a cryptocurrency called BillBucks. This new cryptocurrency will solve all the outstanding problems and introduce a new feature: the blue creen of debt.
