Maybe offloading that stuff to the monster gaming rig in the corner doing nothing most of the time, but to have several smart phones, tablets, and other devices trying to run things, that is dumb. 1st off no matter how cool phones and tablets have become they are lightweights when it comes to crunching data. It would take 5-10 devices to begin to be useful and when they are doing that they are not doing what you wanted them for in the first place. 2nd off the companies that provide services for phones tend to have gigantic server farms that they maintain to do exactly that. (Anyone heard of Amazon, Google, Apple?)
If anything we want our handheld devices to become as dumb as possible so they will last weeks without having to be recharged and to be as light as possible.
I highly doubt the maintenance software is used to operate the engines during flight. If it is that is a VERY big fuck up on the part of the manufacture. None of the planes I've worked on used the maintenance software for flight ops. Sure it records during flight, but that is separate from the instruments and the throttles.
The high tech word of aviation is at least 30 years old. There is a reason for that, it works and it rarely fails. All the fancy stuff is bolted on top of the bombproof legacy gear, which usually will keep working even after a complete loss of power.
This is a fishing trip to try to dump the blame on the manufacturer. Pilot error is in the high 90's when it comes to crashed planes. Props spinning to slowly? When all else fails look out the window and fly the goddamn plane!
Sneaker net for the win. Got a 256GB flash drive, let me borrow it for an hour or two and I'll give it back to you full.
Frankly I've given up on the whole giant music collection thing. I've lost interest in it. It's not that music sucks, it's just that I barely have time to spend on it. Once your personal collection busts a couple hundred gigs you hardly know what you have anyway.
Set up a Slashdot server on board the space ship. You'll have an unlimited supply of negativity, so much so I think if you dumped a cup of tea on it the ship will instantly jump to ludicrous speed.
"When actual observations contradict all predictions made based on computer models you have to say that scientifically the models are flawed. If you believe a computer model over actual observed reality then you are a member of a cult, not a scientist.
What the Anonymous Coward said that all the cultists are trying to mod down.
Just stick with Socialism rules. The useless comment of that is redundant since that is always implied when referring to socialism. Also don't forget useless people come in all colors and creeds so don't be stingy with your criticism by picking just one group.
At 3-5% annual inflation (gov't printing money) that'll eat a big chunk of that by 2020, and don't forget if you work in LA you get slaughtered by taxes in California. You'd been better off sticking with the old minimum wage welfare. Congrats morons, you just gave the government an excuse to take even more of your money.
Hope they manage it as well as illegal immigrate.....err yeah. Hope they manage as well as the electrical grid....oh wait. Hope they manage it as well as the highway system....hmmmmm. Hope they manage it as well as the water supply.......well fuck.
There should only be a regulation or two for taxis. You should have to identify yourself properly and be registered with the city. That registration shouldn't cost more than the price of filing the paperwork. That is it.
If you piss off enough of your customers no one will do business with you after a while. Personally the Uber concept needs to be spread everywhere.
You are an asshole to date, work with, work for, do business with, go to school, about returning things you borrow, paying your bills, you should be blacklisted from society as a whole. Eventually you'll either stop being an asshole or you will starve.
"New Yorkers - not known for their willingness to take shit lying down
You are talking about the city known as New York, located in the State of New York, where they have to build buildings into the sky to make room for all the sheep. That New York right?
The US is also composed of many nation states as people are bound to forget. Places like California, Illinois, New York, Maryland are collapsing under the weight of government. Places like Texas, North Dakota, and Florida are doing better but the disease of gov't is spreading there as well.
As long as I a single guy with no kids get paternity leave just as often as the breeders I have no problem with it. Or we could just call it "leave" and everyone gets the same amount instead of going down the socialist path which just leads to abuse of the system.
One of the few things there is no shortage of, irate customers. Have them go work for BT in the UK or any cable company in the US for a week, and they'll learn everything there possibly is to know about dealing with slews of pissed off people.
That is correct that their are no jobs without a demand, but the customers do not actually create anything. The business is what creates.
If you want to see how this works do the island test.
You are stuck an island by yourself and you demand a big pile of food, a bottle of rum, and a boat (so you can leave the damn island). Do any of those things spring into existence? How about if their are 2 people on the island demanding those things? No not yet? Ok how about 1 million people on that island demanding those things? And again your statement fails. You can demand anything all day long and it doesn't magically appear.
Ok let's try this again on the same island but with a guy who just happens to know how to grow food, make rum, and build boats.
He now wants a big pile of food, a bottle of rum, and a boat. So he begins growing the food, builds a still to make the rum, and chops down trees to make the boat. Let's try again with 2 people on the island. Yep food, rum, and boats are being made. How about with 1 million people. Yep food, rum, and boats are being made.
Now you could argue that the guy wouldn't have made anything without the demand, so the demand came first, but I would counter with that the business came first because the guy knew how to build those things first.
People dream all the time about things they want, but until someone actually figures out how to do it no jobs will ever be created to deliver such things
https://www.youtube.com/watch?... I was just being paranoid. There are just a lot more low res copies so it made it harder to refind this one.
Right around 19 seconds you can see the wires tangled up in the officers hands, which means the taser was fired.
There is more going on than what this video shows.
Scott was puled over in a traffic stop. How far did he run from that? What did he do while fleeing? Why would he flee from the car, then again when the officer caught up with him, and then still keep going again after being Taser'd?
Watch the video again on 1080p. He picks up the Taser and drops it next to him because he fired it and hit him with it, which is probably why he was running away so weirdly. You can see the wires a few seconds before he starts shooting his handgun.
Now the part I find strange is now all the youtube videos of the incident are now all 720p which makes it a lot harder to see the wires. Yesterday there were plenty of versions that were 1080p.
Girls like to do girl things, but mine also likes a lot of the things I do as well. I've spent more on her for fishing, SCUBA, and trips to the gun range than spa days, dinner, and jewelry. She does demand flowers, so I murder a bunch for her every week.
There is a bit of truth to that. Some people never move much past just reading. The books are supposed to inform or inspire. But then again you need a garage full of junk & tools or a bike and free range to put that information and inspiration to good use.
Lot's of parent won't let their kid near a saw, supervised or not, nor allow them to ride more than 2 minutes way from the house, so they never make it out of the book.

You all say he is wrong but you don't counter as to why he is wrong.
"THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED YOU DON"T NEED TO SEE THE RAW DATA!!" is the mental equivalent of "Well yay, YOU ARE A POOP FACE!!".
That is the domain of idiots and children, neither of which can be taken seriously.

Give them free(mandatory) birth control BEFORE you give them the latest handout and you will finally start reducing poverty with government welfare.
UK the friendliest fascist country in Europe. Enjoy paying all those taxes suckers and living 20 years behind everyone else.

Just because Europe and the rest of the world is worse off than in America in many ways does not mean America is doing great.

There is no reason your phone couldn't last a week now. Just need a battery pack the size of a deck of cards attached to it.
