If you see someone with google glass on just rip it off their face and smash it. The ironic thing is if they happen to produce video proof showing you smashing the glass then you were right for smashing them because they were recording you which can be considered harassment.
Yep. IT doesn't make squat. And colleges are making it worse: there's no state license for IT or programming like nurses, doctors and lawyers require, so every college that offers a class on HTML claims to have a bachelors in "Interactive Media & Web Design" which really means they can update Facebook. They graduate not knowing any programming but get programming jobs that should have gone to CS majors. But what can you do? Getting a bachelors in a computers is so easy a caveman can do it.
What Waze offers isn't special, Google could have copied all of it, from real time traffic to police speed traps to allowing users to update the map. Look how much Android pulled from iOS.
Google bought Waze for one reason only: to keep competitors from buying them.
No, seriously, you're probably every company's dream: finally a employee that's NOT going to go online and twitter an embarrassing photo or post company secrets on reddit. Not having an online presence is A Very Good Thing now days
And you're an engineer in a field that does not publish, not a web developer or internet marketer, it's not necessary that an engineer have a online presence.
Neat idea, but the price is prohibitive, and I don't quite trust Kickstarter, either the companies on there or Kickstarter themselves, because they only get paid if a project reaches it's goal so it's in their best interest for every project to reach it's goal, but what prevents Kickstarter from fudging the numbers a bit to make it look like projects reach their goal?
I'll buy one from a retail store when they're $5 next year.
I have no idea if the numbers you are quoting are accurate, but I'm confused by your mixture of different units.
Trying to compare similar units:
Wireless: 2 MB/s to 108 MB/s is an increase by a factor of 54.
LAN: 10 Mb/s (1.25 MB/s, disregarding whatever the framing overhead is) to 1000 Mb (presumably per second, 125 MB/s) is an increase by a factor of 100.
And it will be 'the future' for the next 20.
Wired will always be faster and more reliable. Physics just isn't on your side.
Just think, Wireless has come from 2MB/s to 108MB/s in the last 10 years... Soon it will be 1GB/s
But in the same period Copper has come from 10Mb/s to 1,000Mb on the LAN and from 1200 bps to 24,000,000 bps in telco.
T1, T3, ISDN still have a place for the next couple of years in regional and remote. Copper (ADSL etc.) still has a life of at least 10 years in regional and remote.
Physics might not be on my side, but money is on my side, and when it comes down to it people just want fast and cheap and we're quickly getting to the "good enough" speeds with wireless and wireless is MUCH cheaper than running wires underground or through walls.
Just look at how many new devices don't even offer a physical connection. iPhones, iPads, Tablets, etc etc etc, no wires. How long before desktops don't have ethernet ports? 5 years? Face it, wires are over. Sure they'll exist because they're already there, but they're not going to keep shelling out big dollars to run new wires when wireless is "good enough"
Major users will still want the security provided by a physical link.
Wireless comms can be more easily jammed than a cable - which tends to need something like a backhoe/JCB to disrupt.
Running wires is expensive, wireless will always win in the end because of money. And no one cares about a physical link, they just want fast and cheap, and wireless offers that now.
350 pound flight capacity minus 187 pound vehicle weight seems to indicate a 163 pound (74 kilo) passenger limit. Not great, but that's certainly not "anorexic child-size styrofoam dummy" either. I'm an adult male, I could get there if I cut out the peanutbuttercups and switched to diet soda.
Oh well, I guess that means I'm never going to be able to ride it. Diet soda is vile.
How about they work on inventing that? Soda that tastes like sugar-water without being sugar-water? Chuckle.
Also I'm not sure what those cages around the fan blades are suppose to acheive since the cage gap is huge, anything could be sucked in there, needs to be a cage more like a desktop fan.
I disagree that this is a blow to apple. I have been a waze user since 2009 and hate all the new changes. They actually have ads that pop up while you are driving! And waze shows the Facebook profiles of strangers on the map. That's shocking, I don't want strangers seeing where I am on the map with my Facebook profile showing too. Also waze removed google as a search option so I could no long do a search inside of waze for addresses. I am actually looking for a new replacement.
Horrible idea and will never sell. No one wants a 18.5" 5lbs screen in their lap. How do I know? How well have laptops over 17" been selling? How well have laptops over 4 lbs been selling lately? Exactly. Future is tiny, lightweight tablets/phones that you carry in your pocket and then dock (wirelessly hopefully) to large, cheap LCDs when you reach your destination. I'm almost there, 2 lbs 11" multitouch dell latitude xt docks with two large LCDs at home and office.
That's exactly what you do. Vote with your feet. Leaving a place is the best way to show them they have a problem. They'll either realize everyone's leaving and fix it or go out of business. There are other places out there that would be happy to have productive members of society.
How long do you keep trying before giving up? 4 years? 8 years? 12? Forever? At some point you have to look at it and say "I did all I could, but I have my own life to worry about"
This. Imagine if it was a painting, photo or movie someone created and sold, just because it's sold does not mean new owner can erase the name of the painter, director, photographer, etc and put whatever name they want on there.
Oops I need to change my answers after the survey. Met online and even though we dated 4 yrs before getting married it still wasn't enough. I think the fact that they dated and married someone they met online makes it much more likely for them to leave you for someone they find online which makes it very difficult since now you're paranoid about every friend request.
Wireless is the future. Look how incredibly far wifi has come from just 2000, from 802.11a/b to n and the next one is "ac" which is suppose to do up to 866 mbit. Even 4G is amazing and prices keep falling. 10 yrs from now we might all be canceling our cable and fiber for just a wifi router with 5G which is suppose to be 1gbps and up to 10gbps
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/5G
Lets face it, running fiber and cable is expensive compared to just throwing up a cellphone tower. The future is wireless.
This girl's rather obviously not going to blow up the school, anything more than a suspension and some detention is absurd. Anyone thinking the police need to get involved and she needs to be charged with a felony is beyond ridiculous.
is that obvious? Should kids be allowed to set off fireworks at school too? Exactly how large a bomb should kids be able to set off at school without permission or supervision?
Expulsion is appropriate, calling the police is appropriate. I don't think there should be jail time involved, but yes the police should be at least notified.
She's an idiot, if she would have just paid a "hacker" to claim to hack her phone it would have been on/. Seriously does anyone believe these sex tape and hacked phone stories anymore? Ever since Paris Hilton went from zero to famous (well, more famous, famous beyond "daddy owns hotels") from her sex tape every attention whore has been doing it.
Agreed. He didn't go there with a camera crew and "hurt the environment", he got out his cellphone and shot a video. Seems Nepal's laws are just behind on the times like many laws are and someone's looking to cash in.

Last car I had with the gas cap under the license plate was a 90s Impala. Thing moved pretty well with that 350 V8
yeah, and the wi fi doors. look, i dont want my 45 cent light bulb costing me 50 bucks.
They're actually $69 each

but you're wrong. Wireless is currently at 1300 Mbps with 802.11ac. That gives it a significant edge, and in 1997 wireless 802.11 was 2 Mbit/s, now 802.11ac wireless is 1300 Mbit/s, 650 times faster in only 16 years, much faster then ethernet which reached 10 Mbit/s in the 80s and while 100 Gbit ethernet exists it is not for consumers, consumer grade is still stuck at 1 Gbps, slower than modern wireless.
And it will be 'the future' for the next 20. Wired will always be faster and more reliable. Physics just isn't on your side.

New apple airport extreme offers 1300 Mbps using 802.11ac for $200. Imagine what they'll have by 2020?

Or if maybe they removed the large bicycle frame and tires, that would shed some weight? World's lightest bike is 6 lbs but costs $45,000 which is far too much. This aluminum bike is more reasonably priced at $1700 and weighs only 15 lbs. Average bicycle weighs 30+ lbs, so that extra 15 lbs saved could mean the difference between lifting off the ground or not.
Also I'm not sure what those cages around the fan blades are suppose to acheive since the cage gap is huge, anything could be sucked in there, needs to be a cage more like a desktop fan.
At least it's a step in the right direction.

you did that at home, not at school. Go to school and fire off a mortar and see what happens, then complain because it's a "science experiment"
