So the problem was only the battery? That means all they needed to do was make a decent battery for it and it would have been good to go. I'm kind of surprised they couldn't have fixed the problem with a recall unless it was cheaper just to trash the entire system. I think that says a lot about the entire phone business. One component and the entire Note 7 was dead. A component I swap in and out of my S5 routinely.
I always tend to side with Republicans more than Democrats but really I'd like the Federal government to be reduced by about half or more. So much of what they've taken control of was never meant to be. The worst thing about Republicans was their failure to stand up for the 4th Amendment under both the Bush Jr. and Obama administrations. The one hope I had when Obama was elected was that we'd get rid of that hideous "Patriot" Act. It's an abomination and the name particularly is offensive. It's like the "People's" Republic of China. Calling something by a name which is inherently the opposite of what it stands for. There is nothing Patriotic about pissing all over the US Constitution and the fact that it has endured with bi-partisan support for so long is especially disturbing.
If you need all the stuff that a computer has the Pi gets expensive, that is true. For the camera set ups I installed the camera and stuck an 8 dollar wireless N usb dongle in it. I tapped into the power for the outside lights on the corner of the house for power for the cell charger and so the board, camera, dongle and charger cost me less than 70 dollars a piece. The cases are old pickle jars sealed with RTV for the holes in the lids. It's kinda weird looking but under the eaves of the house it's pretty much out of the way. It works way better than I thought it would though and basically all I did was look at dozens of videos on youtube and read about a dozen or so more blogs and glean the info I needed. The A+ is really great for cameras as the Pi zero, while it has a camera port, requires a special cable. I was going to try a pi zero but it's hell getting ahold of them. By the time I was able to buy some I already had the A+ boards up. I'm thinking of grabbing an Odroid C2 though for Libreelec. The Pi3 I have is fabulous with Libreelec but for one problem, X265. No matter how much tweaking I can't get it to play smooth and more and more content I acquire is in X265 and I'm tired of converting it to X264 just to be able to watch it. Not to mention the big difference in storage penalties for 264.
Bluetooth chip on Pi zero? If you wanted bluetooth the Pi3 has it built in. Any time you run linux you have to be aware of things like which bluetooth or wifi devices will work. Unlike windows where all manufacturers supply drivers a lot of stuff has no linux drivers. You must do research for these devices or you'll end up with useless junk.
The Pi was designed as an educational prop and hobbyist toy at a throwaway price. It fits that better than anything else out there. If you're looking for professional equipment it's lacking. The Odroid C2 is pretty awesome but it's almost double the price of a Pi3 at 60 dollars on amazon. I have a few of the Raspberry a+ computers I picked up for 25 bucks apiece and got cameras for at 25 apiece. I stuck them around the outside of my house and installed motion on them giving me a dirt cheap way to monitor the area. I'm really blown away by how well they work. I'm sure I could spend 3 times the money and have something a little better but part of the joy is that this stuff is cheap enough that I'm not concerned about it. For things that require a lot of computing power it's not the solution. The things they're doing with the 5 dollar Pi Zero is what really amazes me. It's the culture that surrounds the Pi, the community really, that makes it what it is along with the dirt cheap I don't care if my kids break it price.
If the bill had a snowball's chance in hell of passing I'd agree with you. The fact that the mental midget that proposed it thinks it only has a 50 percent chance of passing means it's already dead.
His agriculture pick was great. Purdue was a farmer and is big in agri-business. He at least has an understanding of farmers and farming. I like Mattis a lot. Not sure about the Secretary of State. I guess we'll see what we see.
I've heard Trump praise many people. I'd bet real money he doesn't own a copy of Mein Kampf although I've know lots of people who have read it as it was in my High School's library. I doubt that Trump will be nearly as great as his followers thing or nearly as bad as his detractors think. Regardless we have 2 other branches of government to keep him from getting truly outrageous. Putin doesn't have the power to be a threat to the US. His country is already suffering under sanctions now.
Pardon the fact that it's Glen Beck but he's just showing video of her speech. The part where she gushes over Chairman Mao and calls him one of her two favorite political philosophers starts about 25 seconds or so into the video. Mind you, I don't begrudge her the right to follow Chairman Mao's philosophy as she is after all a liberal democrat and that's pretty much the party line. In fact I found her honesty very refreshing. My problems with Mao aren't his socialism as much as his methods. There are a few other references attributed to other members of the Obama administration. Unlike Beck, (I find him funny when he's not being preachy) I don't really give a crap about the Chairman Mao praise. I understand she's not talking about rounding up members of the opposition and having them shot she just loves communist theory. The thing is that when Trump "praises" Putin by calling him a strong leader the DNC propaganda arm of NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNN and The NYT all went ape shit. It's silly and stupid.
I think it was simply a case of picking your poison. I'm not sure what a Trump presidency will be like but I do have some hope for a few things. I knew for sure what a Hilliary presidency was going to look like and knew I wanted to avoid it at all costs. I took the Orange Pill.
They could learn a lot from Spotify. In fact if Netflix had a larger catalog I'd be very happy with that. To just browse and watch what I want when I want on whatever system or device I want would make me happy to pay up.
Stocks were intended to be shares in a company that provided dividends in return for investment. What they actually are is gambling. People trade based on what they think a share will do and not really whether the company will actually make money. Thus when he said they were overvalued anyway he is stating the truth based on what stocks were intended to be. I remember when I thought about investing 10 grand in Amazon back in the early days. I teetered on the edge for days but finally resisted. I just couldn't bring myself to buy into something that was little more than a script running on a server. At the time they had no warehouses and distribution centers. I'm still kicking myself.
It wasn't wasteland, it was all a huge hunting preserve. In some cases you might be right but what was done to the Cherokee nation in Georgia was in my opinion the single biggest atrocity ever perpetrated by the US government. Every time I drive by the capitol dome in Atlanta and see the gold on it there I am ashamed.
There are more than a few Crony capitalists that were in the Obama cabinet. I'm more than positive that Hilliary's would have been loaded with them too. I'm not defending Trump's picks, they're his picks and it's his cabinet. We'll see what he does with it. Stone did work for Nixon in "the office of economic opportunity" whatever that was. He was 20 then so I doubt he was more than an errand boy. As for Trump praising Putin, it's the same praise anyone heaps on an enemy. He stated he was a strong leader. That's a matter of opinion but I'd say it's obvious a lot of people view him as that. In the same way that Stalin and Mao were strong leaders and many in Obama's cabinet worshiped Chairman Mao. Just because you're a son of a bitch it doesn't mean you're not a strong leader. I think demonizing your opponent is a mistake unless you intend to go to war. If you're going to war you want to paint them in the worst light possible. I'm not sure war with Russia is a good idea.
Control of state legislatures is potentially a very powerful thing. A two-thirds majority of state legislatures in a Constitutional Convention is all it takes to amend the US Constitution.
I actually agree with you that Sanders might have been able to win the election. I certainly preferred him to Hilliary. I probably would have voted for the Libertarian if he had been the nominee. Hilliary was so bad I'd have voted for almost anyone rather than her, even that idiot Pelosi. Hilliary was very competent and connected to everything and would have been able to do a lot of damage as POTUS. Sanders would have started off with his crazy stipend bill and spun his wheels accomplishing nothing for 4 years.
The entire pissing prostitutes is a troll story from a guy at 4chan. He passed it off and Buzzfeed and CNN ran with it and apparently the CIA also bought into it. Apparently they were so eager to smear Trump (as if he doesn't do a good enough job himself) that they jumped all over the story with only a very faint attempt at vetting it. Tellingly, the New York Times, a chief propaganda outlet for the DNC and a full fledged Trump hater, passed on the story. That alone should have been warning enough. Within hours of the story going viral it fell apart. The simplest thing such as a check on overseas travel logs would have clearly shown that it couldn't have happened and there were other problems with it as well. The more loonie of the liberal extreme still runs around screaming about it because, like the crazy extremists on the right they only hear what they want to hear. Basically it was all bullshit. What worries me most was that the CIA temporarily bought into it. Either they're more incompetent than I thought or more politicized that I thought or worst of all, both. I really didn't expect much from Buzzfeed but frankly I thought better of CNN.
I agree I'll probably make up 10 to 15 grand back over 10 years or so. That average of 32K is a lot more than I'm going to pay though. I usually manage to bargain hunt to thousands below MSRP on every car I've purchased. EV cars don't seem to be getting discounted though. At all. I think the manufacturers are selling them at very little or no profit just to get their fleet mileage to balance out. I heard that some have actually lost money on EV's just to keep the line going.
You might be right but not by much. The Pi3 is 2441 MIPS vs Pentium III 600mhz at 2054 MIPS. The Pi3 is clocked at 1200mhz with 4 cores so it's an interesting comparison. The last Pentium III I had was 1ghz and it really seemed faster than the Pi3 but that's been so long I can't say for sure. It was an IBM thinkpad and I just tossed it about a year ago even though the damn thing still worked. You've made me curious so I'm going to see what I've got I can compare it to and run some tests like ripping mp3s and stuff like that. Fun times.

It's libertarians who hate regulations. Republicans and Democrats just like opposing types of regulations.

What? I can't have every sexual perversion I want? What the fuck!
This is one of the Chairman Mao fan club from the Obama administration.

Who is the "KGB" sympathizer? Who is the former Nixon supporter? Crony capitalist is so inclusive as to be meaningless.
