This. I do not own any printer, I use the local fedex store. That way I can pay just pennies and get far better quality output.
A photo printer is another thing that is this way. You simply cannot get as good a prints from a home photo printer as I can get for $0.10 per print from rite aid. Nor will you likely ever print enough to get the cost that low. 3d printers would be the same, I could get a higher quality and lower cost print out by using one owned by someone else who rents it out. I would support putting one in my local library though, just like they have copy machines that charge a low rate per use.
How does first to file change anything for small inventors? If anything it makes it easier for them as they will likely not be able to prove their date of invention nor afford a costly legal battle to do so.
You do know it just means that if You and I attempt to patent the same device the patent goes to the first to file not to the first to invent right? If either of us disclose the patent first, like say publish some FOSS software, no one gets a pantent.
You can hang probes into racks. I do this already.
I just can't imagine that the roomba cost is much cheaper than the probes and their monitoring device, until you have a lot of them.
Pulling lots of cable is easy, already going to be doing that in a datacenter. Monitoring is dead easy, these things are built for that and nagios/$MONITORING_SOFTWARE_YOU_LIKE can alert as needed.
You are not playing any modern games on a phone that old. Nope, I have several android devices all running stock or CM. Depending on how the mood strikes me.
The biggest features of newer phones are just better displays and faster CPUs. The old nook color I use with CM10.1 really shows that in 2013 more RAM would be very helpful.
Netflix seems to do fine. BlockBuster could have survived by they screwed over their customers, changed polices without telling anyone and foolishly guaranteed they would have some movies in stock at all times.
Then take this as a message to those buying websites.
Also please tell restaurants that all I want is your hours and menu. A simple text page can do all that in one page and it you can save a fortune on dev time.
I just wish VZW had some idea of what country I am in. When I go to the US Falls I have to turn off the phone or put it in airplane mode as it assumes I am in Canada. I get it, it is close and it might connect to the wrong tower. As a customer I do not care. I paid for nationwide Data and I wish I could use it. Niagara Falls State Park is in the USA and I should not have to pay extra for data in it.
Here is how you support 6 different OS platforms, make a simple text web page. Stop trying to make everything look like the bastard child of geocities.
I would recommend Web 2.0 die in a gutter somewhere. Instead of killing my battery with animations and sliding infographics, just give me a nice simple text webpage.
Because over the years things change. Which is why all those southern democrats became republicans.
What you are referring to was called the "Southern strategy", the democrats abandoned it and the republicans took up the mantle. Which is why they are now dying as a party. Appealing to old racists and homophobes only works for so long.
This stuff just eats battery and makes performance suck. Stop pushing the heavy lifting onto the client. With a desktop it is one thing, but on a mobile device it smacks of incompetence.
I am not attacking you at all, I just was forced to assume you are a great troll. You redefine words and make stuff up to suit your world view. You also sucked me into a conversation that I should have known would not be productive.

This.

Which since it is not in the same market no one will confuse.
Name reuse is fine if it does not lead to confusion.
No, I am claiming that those are functionality. Being able to swap between 10 apps instead of 1 and waiting for each to open is functionality.

I wonder how big a data center has to be before this is cheaper than just putting in a lot of temperature probes.

I never said throw away. I fully meant give it to someone who could use it, repurpose or recycle.
A 1st gen iPhone must be painful to browse the web on these days. The battery must be near useless by now as well.
Then take this as a message to those buying websites.
Also please tell restaurants that all I want is your hours and menu. A simple text page can do all that in one page and it you can save a fortune on dev time.
Why?
What would motivate you to keep a device so long beyond the point at which a replacement would add much more functionality?
I doubt that.

For once an AC is correct.

I am not sir.
I am not attacking you at all, I just was forced to assume you are a great troll. You redefine words and make stuff up to suit your world view. You also sucked me into a conversation that I should have known would not be productive.
I think you mean Reaganphone.
Wow, you went full retard. Never go full retard.
I commend you on your trolling. If you are not trolling, please call the local loony bin they are surely looking for you.
One of them most likely is. I have not had it tested, but I would imagine it is based on the condition.
The kind asking you to educate yourself before proving how ignorant you are to even more folks?
I am not the government nor did I ask the government to silence you. So I cannot infringe on your first amendment rights.
For your sake I hope you are trolling, otherwise I feel bad for you. When you find yourself at the bottom of a hole, most people would stop digging.
Very good point. I found that funny as well. His response to me on the above is even more hilarity.
I think people are simply lazy. It is easier to assume all members of group X believe what they believe rather than educate themselves.
Your statement is simply incorrect. If you were aware of social libertarians you would know your statement was incorrect.
How do you feel about people getting paid for playing other games?
It seems people who are good at playing games is already common. There are leagues for all kinds of games. A lot of it is even aired on TV.
I don't see how a libertarian of any stripe could embrace a single payer healthcare system.

You know you just outed yourself as the typical slashdot libertarian right?
I was not saying that. Merely that it appears the slashdot ones are bottom of the barrel.
I am not a libertarian.
