An external battery is better than nothing, but is no way comparable to having a stack of ready charged bateries:
Come in the house: change batteries.
Leaving the house: change batteries
Out and about with flat battery? pull a battery from your pocket and switch.
My partner and I both have S3s, and we have about six batteries. There is always at least one ready charged everywhere!
Yes, we do go to 3rd world countries where there is no power for days on end. We also have Note 3s (and spare bateries), and I have two (old) Nokias with 7 day battery life, even if you make calls.
Our son has an iPhone, but you can't call him cos the battery is always flat.
Loads of people wrote BASIC interpreters in those days. It was what you learned in college. And since everyone also shared their code, he could take anyone's ideas. All software was open source until Bill gate stuck his oar in.
Wait, has there ever been a time when a more advanced civilization encounters a less advanced one, and the less advanced civilization prospers?
You might want to consider Europe and America in this relationship. Two points if you can decide which is which, Ten points if more than 50% of the readers agree with you.
To train a 3+ layer NN to recognize images, you will need to make hundreds or thousands of passes over millions of images, each containing millions of pixels
Maybe so. Some of us can think of better ways to solve problems than using GPUs, and AWS is not the way I would go myself.
If we got rid of those damned banks, we would have to come up with a financial policy that encouraged manufacturing, since we do not have any raw materials and there is not much farm land either.
I fail to see how not having banks bleeding us dry would be a bad thing. (How many negatives can you get in a sentence?)
OS/2 was originally half an operating system - "Presentation manager" did not exist as it was late for ages. As a piece of bad publicity, I thought this was unbeatable, till the ads, at least in the UK, features Nuns. Talking French? WTF * 2 !!!!
All you lamenting the failure of OS/2 are forgetting the horror that was PS/2 - the machines were fantastic, but incompatible with any peripherals you actually had, or had a reasonable chance of being able to buy.
And IBM wanted to charge silly money for the licence to make peripherals.
This was the ultimate demonstration of locking out third parties as a way to derail your project. Shame the lesson has not penetrated a few console manufacturers.
Taking classes or learning on your own doesn't count.
No, but it facilitiates "stretching the truth a bit" - after a few Python Youtube videos, that Perl project could easily become a Python project, and nobody would be the wiser. As for "Some PHP contact" and "major league PHP scoring" - it should be clear from most PHP which is written on most CVs. The HR dept probably can't tell PHP from Baseball anyway. If they can, - well, you just have to apply somewhere else.
The data you're XORing against could be something as common as the Bible.
That is information likely to be of use to a terrorist. Prepare for a long prison sentence - complete with spelling mistakes, and possibly unlimited, since the police are not very good with punctuation and grammar!
When digital fails it is nice to have a backup plan.
No need at all. If you are kinnapped my mad extremeists, you can rely on them to give you MS products to plan your escape/keep your sanity. It just happens. Stuck in the backwoods with nothing but hungry bears? You can always find a Windows install on a nearby bush. MS products are everywhere didn't you know?
(And no, I am not on your lawn, just quite near, and slightly above it).
That depends on what you are selling. If you are selling snake oil, then you need to pour every dollar into marketing. If you are selling CAD software, or aero engines, not so much.
The company is worth the same amount as, if deposited in the bank, would earn interest equal to the dividend that the company pays, with small adjustments for the risk that no one wll buy Coca Cola next year for some arbitrary reason, or that the raw materials will cost significantly more, or the regulatory authorities will ban it, etc.
The value of the Coca Cola brand is the difference beween the above value, and the value of a company measured in the same way, but selling "no name" brand cola (probably close to zero).
If the value of a company was only equal to the value of the assets, the company is obviously a pointless waste of space. For the average so called Q to be less than 6, it looks like the economy is in serious trouble.
.is that app writers, etc, will region lock their apps. They will detect where the users are at, and either block the installation, or block the running, of the app(s).
You seem to thhink we want that shit! Getting rid of the concept of "Ad funded Internet" would be a massive improvement.
The truth is, we dont really mind paying for well written, stable apps which work. We are prepared to try out "free shite". Once we find it is shite, we delete it. Blocking this could save us from wasting a lot of our time, as well as our data allowance.

Perhaps the OS you are looking for is iDroid?

I am a pickpocket, but you outwitted me, so do you want to give me money so I can afford to pick someone else's pocket?
Surely these are the kind of people law enforcement should be dealing with.
If you are talking about "America's got Talent" contestants, that is probably 8kb, uncompressed.

Why the hell not? I was doing quite well at forgetting France till you reminded me!

You are obviously not the target demographic for most sights.
perhaps you should try a site that targets low bandwidth users ... Sclog!

No matter who you vote for, a politician always gets elected!
Woooh! - this could be a problem for real people, not just the political animals.

Is there a way to read the about page without installing?
The article came quite close to being useful, but then missed by a mile.
Government intervention can make pigs fly. However, I am not sure that is a good thing either.
More likely, the government is composed of not-very-smart people with their snouts in the trough, who are will stuff things up. There are precidents.
