I didn't say NFC was slower than cash but it isn't any faster than swiping a card through and in many cases is slower.
I have to timed credit card transactions both ways with pay pass or by swiping it. The limiting factor is the authorization between the vendor and processor.
On many NFC devices you will have to manually authorize the transaction anyways increasing the time. Ultimately wireless transactions like NFC will fail just like Iran stolen a drone. Wireless signals can be captured and duplicated if one has a reason to do so. 2cm RFID has successly be read at 30 feet.
except NFC payments aren't faster than say swiping a credit card.
on the phone the payment will need to be authorized so you have to enter a pin there, and then you will still have to sign the store copy as well. I have used pay pass, and it is seldom faster than actually swiping or using cash.
Not to mention most phones aren't in your hands but in a pock or purse and just as hard to get out as a wallet.
Finally I picked the iphone 4S because it was smaller, it fits into my pants pocket, and I don't need a purse to carry it. Unless your a sized 40+ waist your pants just aren't big enough for most android phones. hmmm no wonder why android is popular on slashdot.
Apple release's a new version nearly every phone capable of using it is updated in 2 months.
Google releasses a new version one or two phones support it initially, 3-4 months later HTC, motorola Samsung have released multiple models, 3-6 AFTER that some phones that can run it have been approved and updates start rolling out, to the popular models only.
Seriously put on a calendar the dates of ice cream sandwhih phone releases it will take a year ortwo before it reaches 25% if andriod phones
true but if you want to be as up to date as HTC Samsung, and Motorola, (IE only 6 months behind) then you have to pay, otherwise you are running almost a full year behind everyone else with the testing requirements of cell phones.
I do that simply because I set down something important and have to go figure out where I left it.
I had one cow worker who would lose their coffee cup in the warehouse once a month. I would simply walk the warehouse searching at hand level, elbow, and shoulder level until i found it. They set it down at a conveient height and walked off without it.
sometimes I do forget a singular items off a large list of material that I quickly memorized. however by walking back and forth a couple of times I remember them most of the time.
first you say it is hardware based complaints about button locations, and then you say it is software based, on the sucky browser than has to filter through amazon.com first?
If you are going to complain about it at least finish telling us about he hardware complaint before you move onto the software ones.
besides the kindle fire should never be considered an ipad killer. it is a 7" screen, the ipad is 10" screen. according to that meteric the iphone should gut ipad sales.
you have the company,The client, and the customer.
the thing to remember is that you the end user is the customer not the client. you are less important than the client, and as such the client rights superseed anything you might say. Even if you go somewhere else, you are still just the customer.
trying to roll your own tablet UI is like buying a 1U when all you want is a netbook.
ipad, android are more successful than every other tablet before because someone took the time to already setup a UI. you would spend less time creating a custom myth front end for android than trying to make a generic linux distro run on a tablet without having a keyboard constantly hooked up.
If you want a tablet then buy a tablet. the simple fact is without a keyboard it is useless for 99% of standard linux software you are much better off buying a netbook. that way you can use the command line to reconfigure X.org every time you turn the screen 90 degrees.
yes I know there are supposed to be automatic settings and stuff. but they never work. therefore either get an android device which has those bugs sorted out, or get a netbook and not deal with them.
I want Iran to have the bomb right now the current regime is just stupid enough to actually use, which means Israel, or some dumb european country gets hit.
then all the passive aggressive idiots in europe and asia that let hitler get into power, will finally realize that iran is unstable and let them be bombed back tot he stone age.
one or even 4 nuclear bombs aren't worth the trouble. if you had 20 or 100 then yea it is useful. less than that you can't cause enough damage.
And yes the current regime is stupid enough to actually use it.
Training to land a plane? Iran has plenty of pulots and test pilots capable of jumping into any plane and figuring out how to flyit.
Iran has been studying USA drones over afgahanistan for 7 years. They figured out theunencyrpted video feed quickly. And supplied the Taliban with equipment to recieve such signals on a large enough scale.
Personally i am going to take the superconspiracy theorist view that the CIA landed the plane there with second rate equipment, one to mislead iran, and two to convince the politcains of the weakness of UAV craft so they will order more F-22'S anf F-35's. Bothe of which are made by lockheed.
I take my nook color into work, the wifi bypass's the coporate firewall (and everything inside of it). I use it to read news, books, slashdot(posting this on it) . There is no logging as it techically sits outside the network even though it uses the same cable modem. Since we went this route the number of employees browsing NSFW or websites like facebook has dropped drastically.
A car has a roof, body, etc. A car weighs 1000 times that of a bike.. if a car only uses 100 times the energy. Then a car is 10 times more effiecent at moving mass than a bike.
So by yoour numbers everyone should use the more effiecent car than bike.
Always assume anything on facebook is visible to everyone always. You no longer have any control, it is never deleted, never removed.
It is why i have never used facebook ever. It isnt worth it. While i do know some has posted pictures of me, those pictures cant truely be linked to me.
Except the swedish judicial system works differently from the UK . It isnt based on english common law like UK, USA, canada,australia, etc
Of course you are an expert in such differences so my point is wasted.
Of course you also realize it is illegal for sweden to then extradite Assange to the USA. He has togo back to the UK first. Saying he is going to Sweden to face false rape charges to just get sent to the USA is ignorant at best.
Fact assage stuck his dick in two differemt women, they found out about each other and are pissed. In Sweden they have lots of legal positions to fuck over a guy in such situations. There doesnt need to be a vast conspiracy.
Also any guy in a high profile position(see Clinto, Cain,Spitzer) needs to be fully aware where he sticks his dick. Assange screwed up. Under the best situation he put himself in a position to get screwed over. Which shows just how little he knows about security.
why Iran has been taking the ones destroyed over iraq and afghanistan apart for years.
Indeed most of the technical hacks(like the discovery of taliban troops with tv's capable of receiving drone transmissions are done by iranians.
However Iran has several times in the past claimed to have shot down a drone in their airspace, and not once have they actually shown the crash site. just parts. Parts from drones shot down over other countries.
nope you want the communication system using neutrino's. that way only the results get sent back.
Of course even if the neutrino experiment is true, it only means a an hour or two shaved off the 16 hours it takes to get the data at the ranges in question.

the fukshima generators were under the building in the basement. pictures of those generators show them under about 12 feet of standing water.

remote mountain towns are used by the CDC as disease test centers.(see if you can remember raccoon city)
That is why I own a private island. I have cannons too. I can keep pirates and zombie hordes at bay.

The IRS brings Income in.
The TSA is spending it like a waterfall on stuff that even DARPA says doesn't work and shouldn't be funded.
The TSa will soon become another under funded agency.
actually at the energies involved it is pretty damn hot.
Exactly but a $40 million drone vs a $200 million manned jet. Which would you rather sell?

I only watcch about five stations but do make extensive use of video on demand services

How do they know when they will deliver it to your home?
answer they don't.
fact is residential deliveries are extremely variable in their timing depending on how large the area is and how many packages are in it.
businesses get reliable delivery times because the routes generally have so many packages going to each place every day.
