    Thefts are going to be people leaving them out in public and someone snatching them. That is not what we are talking about. I might be clueless, but at least I can read.

    You will likely not be talking off your Google Glass.

    That is what I am saying. Anyone advocating Mac address filtering will be getting a talking too.

    I never suggest the use of such a useless measure.

    I was not suggesting using MAC adresses for that filtering. That would be braindead.

    Setup a VPN that you use on your machines to browse.

    If our helpdesk guys said such a thing they would be educated on why it was wrong and maybe even on finding a new job.

    Demand more of your IT.

    What does that have to do with MAC address filtering that GP was supporting?

    So a fix that does not work is what you are suggesting?

    You do know that changing you MAC address is not hard, right?

    So then he sets his MAC address to one on the allowed list. Not exactly a tough thing to do.

    Setup squid and redirect all web traffic through it. Replace all images on machines that are not yours with goatse.

    No these were just word problems constructed to make you use some specific formula. Memorizing dozens of them is pointless. In real life people lookup that kind of stuff everyday.

    There was no critical thinking involved.

    All my friends have recent smartphones, none have ever had them stolen or been robbed for them. Try moving out of the hood.

    Purses of that value have a pretty good secondary market. Look online. Many people will buy a used real one rather than a knockoff.

  11. Re:Why are calculators still relevant? on Full Review of the Color TI-84 Plus · · Score: 1

    Which means students just cheat by storing the formulas in the calculators. That is how we did it.

    There were even fake reset the calculator applications.

  12. Most important question on Full Review of the Color TI-84 Plus · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Is it $10 or less yet?

    A state needs to contract out the creation of calculators to some firm and just get them for $10 a pop. There is no reason TI should be getting $100 for them.

    Care to say which parts you found racist? I see no mention of "Google glass is not for the darkies" so I am not sure what you are referring too. The image on the page appears to be someone of african descent, well more recent african descent since all homo sapiens are of african descent.

    People wear watches costing much more. Many women have purses that are that expensive or a significant fraction there of. I think you need to move out of the hood.

    Not bleeding edge? That is not even 4.2, which has had point releases as well. 4 updates in 8 months is honestly pretty pathetic. Think about how many updates your computer has seen in that time period.

    If Cyanogenmod who I am paying nothing can stay up to date so can the vendor who is actually getting paid.

    That one will not let you get the updates the GP was talking about.

    None of the chrome plugins offer anything nearly as good. I want the URL bar gone and I want full modality.

    That is based on the OS having a print to pdf driver.

    So linux and OSX yes, windows requires a driver to be installed.

    Nexus devices are not tied to one carrier. Nor are good GSM devices.

    Any device with a screen that would be considered pathetic a year ago is not high end. 1GB of RAM is midrange. The screen is low DPI as well, my GF's Rezound is at 342dpi. That is a 4.3" device, I doubt adding .3 inches to the Relay would be a big deal.

    Making it larger would be fine. I would love a normal GS3 with a slide out keyboard. Not sure why you keep mentioning what is barely a highend device anyway. The GS3 is getting pretty dated at this point.

    The SD card likely will not survive what you describe. In any case, backups are the answer not a removable drive. You do backup any important data one way or another right?

    Sure getting hammered in public is immoral, but I don't consider having a beer immoral. I flat out do not trust non-drinkers. Recreational use of these sorts of things is a normal human activity.

    The only reason alcohol cannot be outlawed is because it would never pass. We tried and it repealed it.

    If you drop your phone in water, pull the battery or turn it off. Let it rest in some kind of desiccant for a few days. It will survive.

    I am not interested in being tied to one carrier, nor in a midrange phone. None of those are high end devices.
    The display on the Relay is pathetic, it compares with my old Droid1 not a GS3.
