Automated trains have been around since 1967. Though I didn't know ours is the longest ALRT in the world. The first part of Skytrain was criteria 1986.
It is worse than them being no more likely to catch terrorists. Penetration testing has found that TSA agents are 1/5th as effective at finding dangers than the old security screening.
Does anyone remember why we are supposed to bring our batteries in the cabin? It is because of the risk of them catching fire, or exploding at low pressure, like found in a cargo hold. Especially when they are in devices like laptops.
I guess the TSA is just too incompetent though as every other place people have tried lining labors with explosives it has failed. Yes, I know the UK started this stupidity!
Oh well, I guess we'll just have to live with multiple ticking time bombs on every plane. I wonder when the first plane will crash from this idiotic policy?
Surface Connector first debuted on the Surface Pro 3 in June 2014.
USB-C debuted in August 2014.
My main problem with the Surface line is that they stick to only 1 USB port.
The best example was the iPod. It was a music player for songs you already owned in digital format. It was sleek, simple looking and curved. It didn't have frills like most other music players for things like FM Radio. It didn't have buttons for every useful function. Just one button and one overly complex wheel. The interface was too complex for my grandmother, and many other people to remember how to use. One of her daughters ended up buying her a Zen which she could use with no training at all. That was Apple products though minimalistic physical interaction and features with a complex, usually pretty, interface that you will do things the way Apple wants you to do them philosophy
They kind of got away from that with the iPhone. It still serves its primary function as a music player really well, still doesn't have the most intuitive interface, but adds low quality phone capabilities and bad quality internet browsing to the mix. iOS Safari is the worst browser in the world to try to properly support.
As for those people that say they are high quality laptops, we have a number as work and anyone that tries to use them in a portable faction usually only gets 2-3 years out of them. Even the one I have from 2013 has hardware problems, but apparently they are from design defects, not wear and tear. Though even in the past I've found the build quality questionable at best. They do look pretty.
Obviously this is the Windows 10 Sucks edition. Now, I know you're thinking that it should be Windows 10 SM (Sucks More), but Microsoft actually thinks that Windows 10 is a good product. They argue, but it starts up fast! Even if they constantly break drivers, supported hardware doesn't work at all and they constantly spy on you.
It says technically it was in United's right to remove the man. No, there are at least 3 parts of contract law that not only make this illegal, but another part that makes this a criminal offense.
Just because airlines and the TSA constantly break the law, does not make it their right.
Federal courts are constantly towing out FBI cases because of criminal acts FBI officers commit to get evidence.
For some reason airlines, the TSA and private guards that have no more legal power than you, or I are being treated like they are above the law.
I thought that was 10 ounces of ice, 20 ounces of water and 2 ounce of normal strength cola. Better known as badly flavored water. All for only $4.
Or we could just pick up a 32 ounces of actual normal strength cola from the store for maybe $1.25 to drink at home. Maybe even get another 64 ounces for still less than the price you will pay at the theater.
Nope, I'm pretty sure it is Marketing that has taken over there. Just look at all the ads, stupidity of Modern, stupidity of the ribbon bar and marketing loves their telemetry!
Actually, more than likely the AI will determine that something senseless that is a requirement is not needed and will remove it from the program making the program useless to the person wanting the program.
The app stores are about control and money. None of it to benefit you!
First and foremost almost all app stores are about the company making money off of other people's products. Apple really showed this when they stopped applications from being able to buy things like ebooks. Apple wasn't happy because they were not getting their cut for doing nothing.
Then you have control. Again Apple shows this best with not allowing anyone to compete with their products and not allowing other app stores to function.
While Apple has decided to roll over and die, Microsoft shoved a fork in their eye (Windows 8), shoved a fork in their other eye (Windows 8.1), then tried falling on their own sword (Windows 10) and finally are wiggling around the sword trying to hit a major organ, vein, or artery. (Anniversary Update)
Yes, I think Microsoft's OS is better, but they both seem to be trying to get the golden raspberry.
November Update (2015) and the Anniversary Update both reset the default browser. Though I think Microsoft patched the Anniversary Update to stop doing this part way through the rollout. I forced updated to Anniversary Update, so my browser preference was reset.
Of course the real elephant in the room is that Windows was updated to ignore your browser preference. Cortana.
How do you know Apple customers don't like being ass raped? Considering that has been the whole history of the company, I can only guess that their customers must enjoy it. At work I was forced to use a Windows 3.11 machine (Mac) and I don't like it. It is very opionated on how you should do things. Unfortunately Windows 8, 8.1 & 10 are also wanting to tell us how we should work these days as well.
And yet Apple refuses to release sales figures for the iPhone 7. Which Apple only does when sales are really bad.
Then you have Apple slashing production of iPhone 7. There are also reports from resellers of large numbers of people choosing iPhone 6 over the equivalent iPhone 7, even when the iPhone 7 was cheaper.
Personally I know 4 people that bought the iPhone 7. Only 1 of those people didn't return it.
I can definitively say Windows 10 is not a Beta test!
No matter what some companies want you to believe, Beta means feature complete with just bug fixing and tweaking left to do.
Microsoft said on release that Windows 10 is not feature complete and they will get us the planned features as they are done.
Seriously, Best Buy treats their customers like criminals, and their employees worse. In Canada they bought out FutureShop. A few years later they decided to close most FutureShop stores and have a select few stores change to Best Buy. They let the managers know that a package of signs was going to be delivered after hours when everyone else was gone. The managers learned about the their store closing when they opened the package. The employees found out from the media, or the signs when they tried coming to work the next day. As for the stores that were changing to Best Buy, those employees could apply for jobs at the new store.
I find it funny that the criminal organization called the MPAA is having raids performed on on their behalf, as wasn't it pirates that used to perform raids.
That's right, the MPAA has been found guilty of pirating movies. Thousands of movies have been found on MPAA computers that they have no license, or rights to.
The MPAA has also paid companies to issue DMCA takedown on their behalf. Where tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of DMCA takedown have been in violation of the law.
I was talking to Don Mattrick one day and he was saying how the EA board doesn't understand gaming. They just want to make a game exactly like the last successful game on the market.
He was constantly fighting with them to not scrap products that were sure successes.
Thus it doesn't surprise me that the board has put in a CEO that is as clueless as them.
You haven't been following court rulings very well.
There was a case of Microsoft vs a company where they had an enterprise license, meaning to OS is not locked to a machine. They had under the number of licenses in use on active computers, but they had some computers that were scheduled for wiping and hadn't been wiped yet putting them over the legal number of "active" licenses.
The judge ruled in Microsoft's favor as lawfully she had to, but as part of the judgement stated that morally Microsoft was in the wrong.
Quite happy with my Galaxy Note 3 as well, though I really wish they would at least update the OS to Marshmallow, so I can tell the Facebook/Messenger Apps where they can shove their request for my location.
People keep saying that the iPhone 7 is the competition to the Galaxy Note 7... I think people don't understand what the "Note" part of the name refers to. Here's a hint, something none of the iPhones do.
How come there is no mention of where they bought the majority of THX from? Didn't Creative Labs buy them originally?
I think that was when we started getting the computer THX certified speakers. Also THX certified theaters and movies seemed to disappear at the same time.
It's too bad because THX Theaters really did sound much better, evan than Dolby DTS Theaters.
Slashdot Mirror
Not sure if they are still around , but in 2011 Asetec released their second refrigerateD case.

Most people just use whatever browser their OS comes with. In the case of Android this is Chrome.
Just look at the marketshare of Edge.
