Ya, they do. But so what. I very much enjoy using my bluetoof headset while driving, or whilst typing with both hands, or while working on a cabling job, or any other sort of thing where I need to be on the phone and require both hands. I imagine there would be very many applications where the google glasses could come in handy as well. That being said if you're wearing either a bluetoof or google glasses to make a pretentious fashion statement alone, you should be slapped.
When I first heard of the Project Glass, I thought they had found a way of doing what some Japanese companies have been doing for a while...rather than displaying the image in *front* of your eye, they actually draw the image line by line directly *in* your eye on your retina with lasers. I still hold out hope that this is the long term goal of Project Glass, but who knows. A bit of reading Here
Is it coincidence that a Russian security firm keeps finding these clandestine state-sponsored Middle-eastern directed malware? Or are US and European security firms simply instructed to look the other way?/tinfoilhat
Speaking of cars and 2014, aren't we supposed to all be in flying cars by now according to Back to the Future Part II? Why not regulate that into existence. All new cars have to fly by 2015. Then no one will get run over...EVER!! Finally government working for the people!
Why the hell can't *I* choose the safety features of *my* own new car? Maybe I'd rather spend that extra money on a car with traction control, or maybe I have a very limited budget, but just want a basic no-frills new car that won't give me any trouble for the next few years. This just smacks of regulators trying to justify their jobs by creating regulations for the sake of regulations. Cars are really, really safe now. Do you really think that Ford would stop putting seatbelts in cars if the government didn't tell them they had to? The car company that kills fewer of it's customers than its rivals can sell more cars based on this fact. The car company that is consistently killing its customers will likely be out of business soon. I'm not saying there's no place for regulation, but this is getting ridiculous. Maybe next they'll say you can't have a black car because they're harder to see at night, after that, they'll say all cars have to be CalTrans Orange because they're safer. Regulators regulate, regardless of the necessity of regulation. A regulator that doesn't regulate is out of a job.
I wish I had mod points. I was practically screaming at my monitor about parent being modded +4 insightful. I'm holding back on making a political statement regarding economics at this point.
In short, all of these kinds of organizations could just offer email through gmail/google business or any number of other providers that will scale up almost infinitely.
With the various privacy breeches that have occurred, that would be a terrible idea. And on top of that, IT is a lot more than just email. Do you want the government to turn to comcast for networking support while their at it? What if the IRS web servers go down on tax day? Do you want them to have to lean on an outside company to get it back up?
If you watched TFV...that is exactly what they're going to do. They're either going to go with Microsoft's 365, or Google's Gmail. They're just working out the contracts.
Pretty sure he's just clarifying that he needs hardware with more processing power. MIPS for the geeky geeks, horsepower for the casual geek. Take your pick. But i'm pretty sure he's not looking for a router w/ a pull-start lawnmower style.
Like an Alix Board and run pfSense on it, with the available packages, there are likely few network related tasks you'll find that pfSense 2.0 on Alix hardware cannot handle. You can also put in whatever wireless card you want, but I prefer to run a dedicated AP. Used Cisco Aironets can be found on Ebay for under $100 and are rock solid.
And use it to subsidize flights throughout California for the next 20 years, and you'll move more people more quickly than this ridiculous project. Talk about a vanity project....good lord...do the math...how many tickets will have to be sold at what price to even make this monstrosity even remotely cost neutral?
In mountain driving. As one who has made the drive in question dozens of times, I'm immediately thinking about The Grapevine, aka the Tejon Pass
Can a Tesla even make it from Magic Mountain to Bakersfiled with that kind of mountainous driving? I think you'd need at least 3 charging stations, one on the San Juaquine side of the Grapevine, and one on the Los Angeles side of the Grapevine, then one somewhere in the middle of the San Juaquine valley.
I don't buy Intel necessarily for the CPU, I buy Intel for the supporting chipsets. Intel chipsets in most instances are rock solid....with excellent driver support for both Windows and Linux. That being said, I'm glad AMD exists....if AMD didn't exist, it would be necessary for Intel to create one;)
Slashdot Mirror
Ya, that's one of my pet peeves too. That and less/fewer and RPM's/RPM.
Having different versions of the same product is unnecessarily confusing.
How is it any different than 16 GB vs 32 GB iPhones?
Replace "Latin buzz phrases" with "buzz phrases" and you've pretty much summed up ~95% of Slashdot comments.
Apparently died with Steve.
Don't take yourself too seriously man. It's just the internet.
Except for the new news...that being a bit more concise release date, and the fact that he finally let someone else try it on on camera.

As all those tween girls frantically posting to Slasdot all day.
Is a project a friend my mine started. Interfaces w/ gmail's API, quite easy to use.

Of course, back when I was frequently making this drive, it was uphill *both* ways ;)
This is true, hadn't thought about that. :)
