I though Netflix buffered, metered the download rate, then determined when to start playback. Ok, so you're having to wait a few minutes to start the movie to ensure no interruption of playback. It's not a big deal unless you're watching real-time live streaming video (as events occur).
Makes sense. GPS on my Droid works half the time when inside a 1 or 2 story building. Malls, parking garages, or anything with lots of concrete kills it without question.
It's broader in scope than you think. Communist regimes are not just prudish (among other things). Any activity or institution that diverts personal attention from the "State" is considered a danger to the nation. That is to say, in communism, you eat, sleep, think, and work for this Marxist ideology in some form of capacity or another. You life is mandated by law to revolve around it. Nothing else comes before. By definition, it's your surrogate mother, father, religion, and source of education.
So you must also support Government/Public health care and the "death panels" that go along with calculating one's ROI. How nice of you. Last I checked, conservatives were staunchly against that.
Here's my rational observation of the matter. The main difference between (American) conservatives and liberals is in who gets protection and who does not.
For the record, I'm an American Conservative. However, I actually understand the liberal point of view. It simply depends on the angle win which you view living, life, and justice from a philosophical standpoint.
Conservatives are pro war and death penalty, but anti-abortion and anti-birth control. Liberals are the opposite. That is to say, Conservatives believe a fetus/baby is the embodiment on innocents while the convicted murder has already committed sin. Liberals believe that a fetus/baby is not capable to appreciate living either way, and that a convicted murder still has a chance to atone for their wrong doings.
So, in short: Conservatives believe in justice in the eyes of God. Liberals believe in corporeal awareness, and everything is judged from that POV.
So who's correct? Well, I guess that depends on where you stand.
If every desk or seat worthy of performing work at provides KVM access, pairing up wirelessly would get rid of the need to carry all that dead-weight. And you wouldn't need to close your notebook, hibernate, and/or shutdown. Just un-pair and walk away. When you find another place to sit down and work, just re-pair to its KVM and resume work. All while leaving the phone in your shirt pocket.
That's somewhat seamless functionality. Would be nice to have, yes?
Excuse me?! I can't speak for other nations, but when we (the USA) elect our President, we expect nothing short of fulfilment of the required job duties. The POTUS primary job includes keeping the government running as smooth as possible, vetoing bad bills, and protecting our nation as commander-in-chief. If those duties fail to be fulfilled, I will personally call him/her out on it! So please, don't give me this pap and wishy-washy drivel about not condemning failure. If you can't, or are not qualified to do the job, then you shouldn't run for the highest office in America.
So if I'm on a path to utterly destroy this nation with bad policy, why should I be given praise and positive recognition when I only move back in the other direction ever so slightly? He's a Jimmy Carter Part II. He'll get my applause when he leaves office. I bet he's a fun guy to party with though.
You suffer from psychological projection. I never said I hated the man. In fact, he's as much as a victim as we all are. But hey, he let himself be setup for the fall that was natural to come. And no, he hasn't done diddly squat in the way of policy to "bridge the divide" as near as I can tell.
Greatness? Greatness?! What are you going on about? Obama is just another politician that became a product of the media. Never in my lifetime have I ever witnessed the ignorant swooning of the masses over this guy. At a global level at that. He's nothing special. He has done NOTHING special. Get over it. Please.
Well actually, the smartphone will be the PC. That is to say, you could create a docking station connected to keyboard, mouse, and video. Just plug in your phone and go. Should the phone ring, you speak with bluetooth headset or hands free. Now expand that to include a future wireless keyboard, mouse, and video connection. Think about that for a moment... The phone is always with you. You sit down in the plane, office desk, or restaurant and are presented with the option to wirelessly pair with the peripherals. Now add in a bonus to have all your stuff backed up in the "cloud" in the event you lose your phone. Upgrades could be simple too. Swap out flash media or restore over the air.
With faster and smaller technologies, all but the most powerful of workstation PCs will be shoved out of the home market. For the corporate world, desktop PCs could be replaced with smartphones for traveling salesman.
Err, I dunno. Maybe because it's their personal time to do whatever they want. And as long as there's not conflict of interest, (like talking about specific work related projects and/or funded experiments) I don't see what the problem is.
I wouldn't know, but are they technically "on the clock" while they have spare time? I mean, does the Federal Gov employ them 24/7 while in space? Or just 8 to 12 hours a day? Make no mistake about it. Regardless of the occupation, a job is still a job.
When Assange's 40-something feminist activist lover...
That, right there, what his first fatal mistake. WTF, playing around with a feminist is like drinking poison. She will fuck *you* over, not the other way around.
It's also illegal to pump your own gas if you're in the state of Oregon and New Jersey. Most people wouldn't know that unless you live there, but it's the law.
Apparently not wearing a rubber is serious shit. Right?
It sure would be nice to watch personal Youtube videos created by astronauts in their spare time. If they can read books, why not do this as well? Anyone have an idea how much that would cost in bandwidth to upload videos?
I have yet to find a device that does not have one or more major annoyances.
And honestly, you never will. That's not a criticism of you, because I'm willing to bet all but a rare few feels the same way. This is to be expected with developing a single product with mass appeal. You can't make everyone happy or else there wouldn't be a new to constantly re-invent the GUI.
Games such as the Sims, WOW, Eve Online, CoD etc all provide a level of social interaction and a simplistic view of real life. Everything from live action, social interaction, and economic activity are all there to play with. Basically, it's just another form of playground and lemon-aid stand to toy with. Given the demographics, why is this so hard to understand?
Innocent casualties from the aftermath are genetically at risk *and* unlucky. However, those that put themselves at risk is a form of survival of the fittest. It take intelligence to form a cause and effect relationship. Those with the capacity of intelligence and to make less risky decisions can become winners in the game of life.
Then again, stupid people tend to bread more. A race of Quality vs Quantity I suppose.
"Nine out of ten children infected with HIV were infected through their mother either during pregnancy, labour and delivery or breastfeeding Without treatment, around 15-30% of babies born to HIV positive women will become infected with HIV during pregnancy and delivery and a further 5-20% will become infected through breastfeeding. In high-income countries, preventive measures ensure that the transmission of HIV from mother-to-child is relatively rare, and in those cases where it does occur a range of treatment options mean that the child can survive - often into adulthood. This shows that with funding, trained staff and resources, the infections and deaths of many thousands of children could be avoided."
and
Sexual transmission does not account for a high proportion of child infections but in some countries children are sexually active at an early age. This is potentially conducive to the sexual spread of HIV among children, especially in areas where condom use is low and HIV prevalence is high. In sub-Saharan Africa 16% of young females (aged 15-19) and 12% of young males reported having sex before they were 15 in 2007. In Lesotho, these figures are 16% and 30%, respectively; in Kenya, 15% and 31%. The lower the age of first sex, the higher the lifetime risk of HIV infection. This is because early sexual debut is often associated with older lifetime partners, higher rates of coerced sex and lower rates of condom usage.
Children are also at risk of becoming infected with HIV through sexual abuse and rape. In some parts of Africa, the myth that HIV can be cured through sex with a virgin has led to rapes, sometimes of very young children by infected men - although whether or not this is a significant factor in child sexual abuse in the region is disputed. n some cases, young children are trafficked into sex work, which can put them at a very high risk of becoming infected with HIV.
Condoms alone will not break the cycle for those that live on to procreate. It's a shortstop preventive measure now, but not sustainable (condoms are not cheap and inconvenient to use) Education, communication, and maintaining a monogamous relationship will solidify safety long-term for a nation (and the world). IE cultural change will be required, or evolution will force it upon them.
Actually, gums tend to bleed after brushing and flossing. You and your partner are much more likely to transmit and receive a viral STD shortly after that hygienic activity.

Love MILFs? Last I saw, she was pregnant in the 3rd trimester. Given production to air delay, she could already be home nursing.
That would require science, not politics. Good luck with that!

Ever go down on her after brushing your teeth?
Actually, gums tend to bleed after brushing and flossing. You and your partner are much more likely to transmit and receive a viral STD shortly after that hygienic activity.
My wife and I are very open and honest with each other. Suffice to say, our risk of getting AIDs is far and away much lower than say...a crack whore.
Hey, I never said there weren't innocent casualties in evolution. Don't look at me, I'm just telling it like it is.
