This is a terrible idea. Trying to read Glass while driving is VERY difficult, and you get the false sense of security that you are still "looking" at the road, when really you are not at all focused on anything in front of you.
I tried it for a bit and was amazed how hard it was and how dangerous it felt. I would never use it like that. I think I'd be safer taking quick glances down at my phone with the maps app than trying to use Glass.
No one here seems to be realizing that this is completely about Azure.
Microsoft has been moving very strongly into the IaaS and PaaS market with the various Azure offerings over the last 5 years, and it's totally clear that they are making this a huge part of their business going forward. This is why they are promoting the number of servers they have, because providing those resources to people on demand is how they will make a large part of their revenue going forward.
Something tells me the political parties in Sweden are not as divisive as in the US (I have no knowledge of Swedish politics, but I could imagine both parties being reasonably sane, and not extreme, and probably both to the left of Obama).
>you’d better hope that it’s blindingly white.
No, If it blindingly white, it will already be reflecting sunlight, so then this won't work (unless we then painted it black, and cancelled out the natural effect). You'd hope for a dull asteroid so you could change it by making it blindingly white.
a) Trying to "solve" this womans problems (like explaining how to connect to a DSL routed w/o installing software, or suggesting OO for MS Office replacement). She didn't post a question this is a news article and we all know how to solve her problems, that isn't the point
b) Trying to blame her for being an idiot, airhead, dumbass whatever.
The point is, almost everyone is an idiot, dumbass, airhead. Most people on this site are in the top couple percent in terms of tech knowledge and probably overall intelligence.
Most people are stupid. They can't figure this crap out. They never will.
Just remember when you think to yourself "this is easy", for most the population, it is impossible to comprehend. People are dumb.
Heck, we (Americans) RE-elected Bush. Think about that...
I have been trying to hire a.net developer for 6 months now.
I have had person after person come in with great resumes, 5 years experience, 10 years experience, 15 years experience, only to watch them crash and burn when tested.
My test is just a series of questions, usually open ended, that I ask during the interview.
Just last week a developer with 15 years experience couldn't tell me what an interface was. Clearly the question about abstract classes and factories would be pointless so I just skipped the entire OO section.
Another guy didn't know what a web service was... and this is a web developer position.
I have found that once you get past the general BS answers and actually ask them to explain something: "What I type in google.com, how do I get their web page?" they (unqualified people) crash and burn.
We have had a few who did fine, but we couldn't hire them or couldn't seal the deal, for a number of reasons.
I bet lawyers get asked similar test questions "If you had a client who... what would you suggest to them?"
Who is going to enter this "challenge" from some random website for the chance to win 40 bucks?
Even if I had a program that I knew 100% would work, I wouldn't be worth my time to plug in the drive and run the program for 40 bucks.
Stu...pid.
There is really only 1 Spanish to English translator for the IPhone. Its 20 bucks and from Ultralingua. Reviews for it were really poor overall, but there were a few giving it 5 stars so I decided, what's 20 bucks, and gave it a try.
The program is fantastic!
I went back and started reading more of the comments and it became clear that many "reviews" either a) hadn't used the program, b) were just bitching about the cost $20 in hopes of getting the developer to drop the price or c) just doing basic trolling like the reviews saying something like "Obama must like this b/c he wants everyone to learn spanish" 1/5 stars.
I submitted a positive review, but it seems unfair to everyone that the system is used in this manner.
We have not had too many problems so far. After a few years of caving in on going to christmas mass I put my foot down and refused.
But we will have to see what happens when we have kids and I will want to keep them from being brainwashed, and she will want to have them subjected to CCD.
Overall, she is a great person, and I couldn't be luckier. If I had discounted our relationship because of her believe in magic, I would have missed out on the greatest thing in my life.
They aren't taxing you because you own some property, the tax is because it is assumed that you will use the TV to access the programming they are providing (paid for by the tax). I wouldn't call that a property tax.
Yes, and as I said in my post, Conyers has already HAD a copy of that bill in his committee for months, and has already decided "what happens next", he will let the bill die.
The reason Kucinich brought it to the floor was because Conyers and the J.C. were refusing to do anything on the matter.
"The previous question was ordered, Hoyer moved to refer the bill to committee, and the 80+ Democrats who earlier insisted they didn't want Kucinich's bill to die on the Speaker's table instead voted to let it die on Chairman Conyers' table instead.
So the bill goes to the Judiciary Committee. Where it will sit next to Kucinich's other resolution calling for the impeachment of Cheney, which was offered through regular channels back in April."
Kucinich didn't want the bill moved to the committee.... that is how they killed it.
He introduced that same impeachment stuff into the committee months ago, and they have refused to act on it.
So now, they will just refuse to act on BOTH copies of it.
Kucinich wanted a debate on the floor, and the Dem leadership successfully killed it so that didn't happen.
I wrote some realy slick server controls for our web app that used Javascript/DHTML to provide a series of panels that you could expand, and it would load the content dynamically.
Basically, you would click on a menu, and it would expand a panel below the menu (in a cool sliding fashion) before finally resizing the panel based on how large the dynamic content was.
Well, if you have the Phishing Filter turned on, this would process would spike the CPU, and the "cool sliding action" was reduced to a super super slow crawl.
This happened even though our site was a "Trusted site".
We even found that if you disable the phishing filter when you install IE, you have to still go manually disable it later. So retarded.
IE7's tabbed browsing sucks. AvantBrowser did a better job of this long ago.

This is exactly what I came here for. The global AI started out as a tool exactly like this, for a company exactly like google.

Oh yea makes perfect sense.
A lot of people get electricity from nuclear.

Something tells me he would be considerably slower without them.
The performance increase I found on my laptop after installing a SSD was amazing. I could never ever return to a regular drive.
The point isn't that a high end Mac costs more than a high end PC.
It's that most people don't need high end computers, but if you want a Mac, you end up paying for those features anyway.
If a slower 2nd tier processer, 2GB of RAM, and a 120GB drive are good enough, you can save a lot of money if not buying a Mac.
It's really kinda sad how many people here are:
a) Trying to "solve" this womans problems (like explaining how to connect to a DSL routed w/o installing software, or suggesting OO for MS Office replacement). She didn't post a question this is a news article and we all know how to solve her problems, that isn't the point

I have been interviewing a lot of programmers over the last year.
I compiled a list of DOs and DONTs for getting an interview/job.
I hope you find it interesting:

I was about to write it, but you already did.
Thanks for shaming this ignorant idiot.
You don't need to keep an eye on it, their positions are well known.
Obama is strongly against it.
McCain is strongly for it.
So now you are blaming SQL Injection on Microsoft? Get a life.
I am an atheist and she is a catholic.

Real property (real estate) has property tax, but no one taxes you for personal property.
I am sitting in a chair, no one is going to TAX me on the fact that I own some chair (personal property).
Weak argument.
Yes, and as I said in my post, Conyers has already HAD a copy of that bill in his committee for months, and has already decided "what happens next", he will let the bill die.
The reason Kucinich brought it to the floor was because Conyers and the J.C. were refusing to do anything on the matter.

"The previous question was ordered, Hoyer moved to refer the bill to committee, and the 80+ Democrats who earlier insisted they didn't want Kucinich's bill to die on the Speaker's table instead voted to let it die on Chairman Conyers' table instead.

Looks like it is time to implement KittenAuth.
KittenAuth presents a series of pictures, and you have to select the ones that are kittens, in order to prove you are a human.
