I dont' know about you, but the last time I was writing code - Friday - I had eight source code windows open, and was referring to four of them simultaneously. And that excludes the windows for the compiler and reference materials.
Run your MBP-R in full-screen terminal, and you have a 2880x1800 resolution. You can make the text any size you want.
So on your laptop, when you want 2880x1800 effective resolution and a 30 point font, does your monitor physically grow in size to accommodate the font? If it doesn't, then these statements do not compute. If you make the text larger, and all you have on your screen is text, then the effective resolution of the monitor is no better than what's been on the market for 10 years. That's exactly what the OP meant. I don't care how curvy the curves in my esses are when I'm writing code.
May be I don't move my computer set-ups enough, but I don't get the issue this questions is trying to address. In the age of thin LCD monitors, the screens on my desk are thin, light, and require 2 cables--1 signal, 1 power. How would a "portable" monitor be different?
How easily do your monitors fold flat with their stand and fit into a backpack? They don't? How well do your monitors withstand daily shock and vibration on a bicycle? Not well? How much do your monitors weigh? More than you'd want to carry in and out every day?
The best bet for size/mass per image size is a projector.
Unfortunately, I think you're correct. There's nothing better on the market than a projector.
>> But good luck on making sure the right kids have been ticked off then leaving the bus. That's like trying to hold back a hydrant with your finger.
And iris scans will somehow make this better? If the students have to line up and scan out to step off the bus, why can't they line up and get checked off?
The Texas economy is based on adding jobs that can't be done by native Texans - most have to be filled by out-of-state hires who were educated in places like Iowa or Massachusetts. Meanwhile, the Texas education system is woefully underfunded and isn't producing people able to fill those roles in the future.
In other words, Texas leeches taxpayer money from other states' education systems to fund their low-tax business environment. It's not sustainable.
The metric system is seen as foreign governments exerting pressure on the US to conform. There is a party that claims to resist a global world government, and thus tries to resist such pressures. If that party furthermore starts to point out that SI is French, the factions of that party that also dislike the French will resist the metric system even more.
Ever since I was in the Army, I've always written my dates as 12-FEB-09, and sometimes when I do so, somebody gives me shit because I don't use the same date format that "everybody else" uses, and it is never a conservative or liberal thing. I could see maybe if I wrote 12/02/09, which would easily be interpreted as either december 9th or february 12th, but I like that date format for the same reason that the Army uses it as standard: There is no ambiguity.
The Geek Chic people who went on Shark Tank recently have an ongoing business. They've been in business for several years, attend BGG Con each year, and have sold incredibly expensive tables to several people I know.
On the other hand, they have like an 18 month backlog, and once you order and make your down payment they'll ignore your emails for about a year until they're ready to deal with you, and ask you for your customizations. You can customize/everything/ on the table, even though it's marketed as a modular system, and it takes a while to figure all that out.
I suspect they went to a VC because they believed that they could be a bigger and more successful business, but they don't have anyone on board that knows how to become that business. Making the person who gives you the money have a stake in the company helps ensure that they'll actually help you succeed. I think they took $300k for a 25% stake or something like that.
My impression from the summary (no, I didn't RTFA) is that the laptop is erased by power cycling its RAM, and the hard drive you are wondering about was erased by being removed from the machine last month and never used again.
Booting from a live CD and pulling data from a thumb drive to read it, there is no need for a hard drive whatsoever. Only RAM and processor registers ever see the data, and nothing usable is retained from them.
Now, how they secure that thumb drive, however, is a mystery solved presumably by reading the article, which I won't.
The first ammendment of the constitution of the US, among other things, recognizes: 1) A freedom of speech, 2) A right of assembly, and 3) A right to petition the government
It would be pretty starling if you weren't allowed to exercise these rights in concert, for example by assembling into a corporation and lobbying or contributing to a campaign.
Where does the first amendment grant you the right to limit your liability towards debt, or to not have to pay taxes per the income tax tables? Or not have to pay any taxes at all?
I agree that a union PAC, or the NRA PAC, has freedom of speech, assembly, and to petition the government. A corporation, however, could be asked to voluntarily relinquish those rights in exchange for their limited liability and favorable tax status. You know, the way that non-profit organizations are already required to for their tax status.
rsilvergun didn't state that his proposal would survive Constitutional muster, but it could help solve our political mess as a Constitutional amendment.
If you let yourself be brainwashed, there is nobody else to blame.
That's what I tell all eight year olds who spends their allowances at McDonald's. It's clearly their own faults they let themselves be brainwashed by advertising, and the only thing they can blame is their undeveloped brains.
He showed up to the premiere a few years back in a space suit. I have a picture of him and his wife that I took on a hard drive somewhere.

The mechanics of a game aren't subject to copyright. They might be patentable, if novel, such as the original CCG patent for M:TG.
On the other hand, creative elements of a game are copyrightable. This includes not only flavor art, but also board layout - such as Scrabble's arrangement of double and triple letter and word scores. That's one reason why a game like Words with Friends uses a different board layout.
I would argue that the specific selection of blocks for a game like Tetris is a creative element and hence covered by copyright. If a clone made a similar game, except with 12 spaces on the bottom row instead of (10?), and lacking a few of the basic shapes but substituting a few different ones, it would probably differ enough to escape copyright infringement. (It would be a derivative of the mechanics, and would get sued if there was a patent, but shouldn't have a problem with copyright derivative protection.)
At our after-work beer party today, there was a guy who, upon us talking about how crazy the week had been, said "why?"
He doesn't read internet news, doesn't get cable, and his sister had a premature baby earlier this week who might not make it. He honestly did not know that either the Boston or West explosions had occurred.
No political contributions allowed from corporations.
An organization that wishes to engage in political speech immediately should lose any favorable tax status. This is already the law for non-profits, and it should be the law for corporations as well. For a corporation, losing such tax status would mean the individual shareholders would then be directly responsible for risk and tax burden, as if it were a partnership.
Not everyone has an informed opinion on everything. Also, a party that 100% represented my views would only have one member. Some amount of compromise is necessary whenever two or more people associate; to have a successful party able to implement the ~80% of things that everyone agrees upon, everyone will disagree with the party on something. Perhaps the party's technology manager wants to learn where the majority disagrees with his personal views, so that he can discover where he could compromise for the good of his party overall?
IEEE Spectrum and Popular Science are my remaining paper magazines. I liked the IEEE Technology and Society magazine but they went digital only this year.
That's the only case, though, in that it's the big liberal-wing failure that's always trotted out to counter dozens of cases where the conservative wing has let the country down.
The difference between Google and ISPs is that the latter do not make it a/business/ of removing its users privacy. Yes, they may glean some additional benefit from the process, but it's a far cry from Google, in whose interest it is to know everything there is about you. For ISPs, it is sometimes in their interest to claim ignorance about their user's activities... ISPs aren't really that happy that they are being forced to collect info for the government either.
Speak for yourself. My current provider is AT&T, and since I live in central Austin I'll be dropping them in a heartbeat for Google.

Still readable text is wholly subjective. And I'm still holding on to this 2008 17" MBP until I can buy a 17" replacement.
