You've been able to do this for ages in Windows 10 for Phones:
1. Settings
2. Devices
3. NFC
4. Tap to pay
It defaults to adding the cost to your phone bill, but you can add additional cards and payment method management apps as well.
I've been buying stuff using a linked card for 6 months now.
This just sounds like MS are adding an easier management system to it all and thats whats been noticed.
Cool. So I guess it is kind of nice to be able to have the entire userbase of windows 10 phone have a meetup at a local Starbucks.;) Did you ask the other guy what he thinks of the feature?
The tile interface is the main reason I use the Windows Phone. The interface on Android and Apple look like my grandfather's Windows 95 desktop. Tons of unrelated icons on a grid? Really? You think that's really better than the customizable tiles?
You can group icons under folders on both iOS and Android. I have both Android and iOS devices. Tiles on windows phone remind me of AOL or Compuserve from the 80's.
Yea because a son and his father use the same Facebook account or even the same computer. Makes sense.
No but Facebook would be aware of what you searched on facebook and what your friends search on, liked or shared. I had a lot of ads for wedding stuff long before I proposed and changed my status from single to engaged because friends and friends of friends were either getting married or engaged. The ads you see are not just based on your activity but also the activity of your "social network".
2. It is essentially a book review from a biased author.
3. White privilege implies that it is something bestowed on someone by other people. If you want to treat people equally then stop separating people based on ethnicity.
4. I am not an American. I am a Canadian and a first generation immigrant who happens to be "white" but I experienced discrimination from the "English" when I was in my early grades in school. I also did not grow up with a silver spoon in my mouth. My parents worked hard for what we had.
Basically, this white privilege stuff is an American invention. You guys need to get out of the 18th century already.
Here is the problem. Really super rich people will always have loopholes to get around paying taxes so that it why you see many of them advocating for higher taxes. They know that the middle class will be the ones who end up shouldering most of the pain.
This is why people in the middle class and upper middle class oppose higher taxes and expanded social programs. We are supposedly too rich to reap the benefits of social programs but too poor to avoid paying taxes through tax shelters.
Agreed. The SFC is not the owner of either of the works in question and is not the author of the license in question. They have no stake or standing in the matter.
As authors of the GPL itself, I would say that Stallman or the FSF do have some say in the matter.
The SFC can go pound sand...
The authors of the GPL can have their say all they want but ultimately copyright supersedes any interpretation of a license by a third party even if that third party authored the license. They are not lawyers or judges. If the copyright holders have no problem with it then tough.
Hey Mark, how about paying a data connection to everybody and let everybody access any site they like? Then I'll believe you.
How about you chip in money son. Then you can talk. He is offering something for free with some limitations. If you want the entire internet then you can pony up the cash and pay for it like everyone else.
I'd say go one step forward: tatoo a barcode on everyone's forhead AND a chip inside the head.
Forget the ATMs, think of the posibilities: easy tracking, no more anonimity in public, oh, the options are unlimited.
No more muggins as it's quite hard to carry 2-3 severed head with you.
Pretty sure the xians will say this is the Mark of the Beast. But if it will bother them, then I am down.
A couple of points. 1. What is an xian? If you are going to talk about a group, try to use the correct terminology. 2. Why do you have such a low self worth that you would want to be branded as a slave because you think it might piss some other people off? Have some self respect. You are a human being not cattle.
The " Mark of the Beast " is easily the Mac address or ipv6 address of your phone.:|
Sorry but I am not seeing the connection. You do not have to have a cellphone and it is not required to buy or sell things. It is a tool of for communication and not identification. The IP or MAC address is tied to the device, not you.
I disagree with most of what you wrote as your opinions seem to be based on your experiences only. In other parts of the world I'm sure there are cultural norms concerning racism and local mindsets of superiority, regardless of known facts. In middle America where I live anyone that speaks well is accepted. Ebonics is looked down upon as low class.
Try getting citizenship in Japan regardless if you were born there if you are not of Japanese ancestry.
Evolution will "make use" of anything it can, even and perhaps especially factors that no intelligent designer would ever consider.
Related: What intelligent designer would situate a pleasure/reproduction area through a waste disposal zone?
If there was an intelligent designer, he either had a weird sense of humor or didn't feel like putting in too much effort into his job.... Oh dear lord, God is Wally!
Do you need to speak with someone about the birds and bees? You seem to be a bit confused. Waste would be solid waste whereas urine mostly sterile if no infection is present.
The genital area in humans would be in the front for both sexes. Waste is handled in the back.
My point is that Microsoft Office for Android with Google Play doesn't bring us any closer to Microsoft Office for desktop Linux.
Admittedly, Linux and Android have differences but I would assume that if they have ported Office functionality over to both iOS and Android, they have put in work to make their code more portable.
I am sure it will take some effort to port their UI code to yet another UI framework on desktop linux but at least some of the groundwork is there already.
They already have a port of office for Android which is based on linux.
Office is not ported to Android. It is ported to Android with Google Play. There's a difference.
I looked at Microsoft's publisher page on Amazon Appstore. OneNote and OneDrive were listed, but not Word. I searched briefly but could not find a legit copy of Microsoft Word for Android outside Google Play Store. And the only way to get a legit copy of Google Play Store is on a device that ships with it. This leaves users of Replicant, Fire OS, and other operating systems based on Android Open Source Project (AOSP) without access.
Now most desktop and laptop PCs running Linux run GNU/Linux with X11, not Android. Android is more common on tablets and phones. In theory, it would be possible to compile AOSP for x86 or x86-64 run it alongside GNU on top of Linux. But you wouldn't be able to install Word because it wouldn't have Google Play Store.
Sorry but do you have a point here? You are complaining about the lack of Office on a proprietary version of Android on the Fire devices or "open source" fork of Android? Neither of those are stock Android. If you want a stock Android experience get a Nexus device from Google but the vast majority of Android phones and tablets ship with Google Play.
Android is fundamentally being developed by Google so what is your point exactly? Do you expect Red Hat Packages to work on some obscure Linux distro?
funny thing that... if no-one has guns, they're pretty hard to steal.
Funny that, in the UK they banned guns and yet the criminals still had no problem acquiring them from outside sources. It is even more useless when a city or state tries to ban guns. In no place that has "banned" guns is there a lack of guns for criminals.
Listen, I used to think that I had asperger too but what really I suffered from was a lack of self confidence and a form of social anxiety disorder. I did not trust myself and my feelings about other people or other people.
Here is what you should do. Get off your arse, start eating right and exercising and find a way to make new friends in the "real world". For me, that was by going to church and becoming involved in the Alpha course. Through that course, I learned more about the faith, met some great new people and I was able to completely surrender the portion of my life that should be a source of strength but was the source of my hurt and weakness to God. He removed my fear and replaced it with a spirit (holy spirit) of boldness.
After years of bullying by schoolmates, my alcoholic father and other things, my psyche was pretty much shredded. I needed to surrender that last part of my life that I was holding back from god which was my relationships and hopes for relationships.
After I did that, my social anxiety went away, I made friend after friend and I might even end up finding a soulmate now. I went from a wallflower who hardly knew anyone at my church after attending for years to someone who worked the room going from table to table greeting people I had met at a retreat at a recent party.
Wrong. Galactic rotation curves do not match with what is predicted by Newton or Einstein. The outer stars are orbiting much too fast. You either explain it with hidden matter, or you explain it by modifying gravity. The the fact in this case is the anomalous rotation rates. I suggest you need to look again into what 'actual' scientists do, because what they don't do is ignore interesting observations.
Or perhaps scientists don't have a clue how gravity works on a large scale.
Sorry but shouldn't you start with a unit test defining the problem and then work from there?
Forget SCRUM or any other methodology for organizing the planning and scoping of a project. If you do not have a unit test, how can you be confident that it does what you expect when you had it off to QA to test?
These products [iPad and MacBook] should remain separate.
Where does this leave a high school student who has received an iPad as a gift only to discover that it's not suitable for the programming homework that her computer science teacher has assigned?
If they do not understand the difference between a laptop OS and desktop OS then I might question why they are in the Computer Science program in the first place. Your example is an non sequitur. Nobody in their right mind would try to use an iPad for programming homework.
I think he is simply referring to th reasonable limits set as decided by the Supreme Court. He's just butthurt hr might be held accountable for hate speech.
No he is butt hurt because we are not all rich enough to defend ourselves in court.
Get your head out of your arse. Programming is not strictly a science.
It sure as hell isn't a liberal art. And you can't treat it like a language used to communicate with people. You don't get your head out of your ass and distinguish clearly between to, too, two, Two, TWO, etc., and you are a shitty programmer. If you write about a car's breaks, or braking a dish, a human can figure out what you actually mean inside that besotted head, but a compiler cannot.
Yes, I must be a shitty programmer. Are you familiar with NER or Coreference Resolution? Named Entity Recognition is a subset of natural language processing. Software like SIRI uses various methodologies like Corefrence resolution to determine who or what you are talking about or what subject is inferred by your question based on past questions.
I am focused more on complex event processing to detect patterns of behaviour but I am also familiar with entity resolution and I leverage that as well to detect behaviour across multiple entities that might not at first glance appear to be exactly the same entity.

When Windows 95 came out I switched from Windows 3.11 to Linux. It was the best thing I did for both my desktop and my career.

seeks to analogise coding skills with language skills to make the subject of computer science less forbidding and opaque
Good luck with that. Programming is about logic, not language.
How do you explain a logic problem to someone else? With language. Get your head out of your arse. Programming is not strictly a science.
