I doubt it, most semi-intelligent people realize killing someone is always the wrong way to go. If you 'want' to see someone in a coffin, you need consoling, theres something wrong with your, or your 15 and don't actually know what you're saying.
Am I supposed to be impressed or something? Android powered battle bots are hardly new, no impressive. Its not impressive (to me) when you run your software on say a 40mhz clocked processor... and you have 39.5 milllion cycles each second spent idling. This is no different than a 'PC powered battle bot', its ridiculous over kill and requires very little effort, everything is already premade for you.
People regularly run their bots on AVR and PIC microcontrollers (AVRs are used in arduino), thats impressive. Using a super computer to do your childs 2nd grade homework is not.
Its is mandatory to get the 'official version'. Nice try though, but you can't pretend two different things are the same thing just because they are alike.
You use an image and some nifty tricks to figure out if it was cached and long story short, you trick the browser into giving you info because of how it responds to cached documents.
This was on slashdot when the story originally came out with a much better description.
And I seem to recall that it was pretty clear at the time by looking at the java script that it was probably purely accidental rather than intentional.
Unfortunately, with CmdrTaco gone, sensationalizing of stories has shot up tremendously. You pretty much have to assume the summary is a lie now days. Not an error, an intentional lie.
First of all, we're talking about a serious budget position. The licensing fee for a corporation wide system upgrade isn't something your average IT department can rubber stamp.
Sounds like a fairly shitty IT department/management. When you roll out a large project thats going to cost a fortune 5 years down the road to upgrade, you don't wait 5 years and ask for 500k. You roll it out, including an additional 100k in yearly operating costs/maintenance, and then have 500k sitting in your pool ready to purchase the upgrade at the 5 year mark. This is basic business planning. If you didn't think of that, you aren't qualified to do any planning for a project that costs that much, and thats the first problem in your post.
If you weren't doing it wrong from the start, you wouldn't be waiting on the CEO to make a decision and the rest of your post becomes a non-starter.
Both of these were done when I worked at Silicon Graphics in the early 90's, on machines several orders of magnitude larger than the nexus 7.
Physically or technically? Physically I'll believe. Technically, I find it hard to believe anything from the 90s is faster than a high end ARM device now.
The microphone and noise cancelation (or lack there of) on phones previous to the 4s make using Siri on them a really shitty experience, its really not something you want to do as you'll just be frustrated as hell as it gets everything wrong/
The iPad 2 has NO noise cancelation, it would fucking suck for siri unless you're in a completely isolated room.
Just because you fail to understand technical reasons for doing things doesn't mean they don't exist.
Perhaps you should leave the software and hardware engineering to the engineers?
I'm guessing you've not spent 1 single instant of your life looking at software for just those questions on a tablet.
You should look, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Apple/iPad fanboy warning...
I recently started checking out the iBooks text books on the iPad, these things (for first generation creations) are freaking CRAZY impressive. They are what you would expect an electronic text book to be. There is still room for growth and making them better as we learn more certainly, but I personally could have learned well with them without a teacher I think.
I'm sure its not exclusive to iBooks, but thats all I've looked into, but it is damn impressive for a first generation collection, I'm actually excited to see what the future brings.
That wasn't new, that started in the 60s when they realized that letting students watch a movie meant that both the students AND the teachers could sleep in class.
Yes, because you're screwy custom apps work in every environment OTHER than the iPad with no extra costs. You're argument is retarded. You're ignoring the fact that you have to pay for development in some way or another and trying to pretend like the costs associated with iPad development are really different from any other environment. Its not, you're just being obtuse. Fanboy much?
Because you'd still need a RPi to interface with android so you could have the GPIO and such needed for control. This meets the requirements, an android device alone does not.
You know what would make the Raspberry Pi fucking awesome... IF I COULD ACTUALLY BUY ONE AND GET IT SENT SOMETIME THIS YEAR.
Seriously, the Raspberry Pi is cool and all, and I'd LOVE to hear all about it and play with one... but until they actually produce enough of them, please to be shutting the fuck up with stories about 'cheap computing for everyone' when all of 10 people actually have one in their hands.
As the comment above me says, the brains of this thing will work in an oceanliner almost as well as what they are currently in, so scaling it up enough to work for cargo isn't an issue.
You can run it underwater with a floating dongle/antenna at the service. Practically impossible to see on the ocean open in ANY form, electronic or otherwise unless you happen to get hit by the dongle when it passes you by.
You're acting like they'd have to use THIS configuration to get it to work. You go receive only, no transmission, no real need for it. All you need is a destination and a GPS. Just using it to get across territorial waters without getting put in jail doesn't require weather updates, you only launch when you can see clear skys, its only got a few hundred miles to travel AT MOST, you can predict weather long enough for that and an occasional loss of shipment isn't really a big deal considering thats already a risk importing now. This particular risk is directly under the distributors control, unlike the coast gaurd and border patrol, ICE.
Not like you couldn't stick a receiver on it for FM and let it pick up encrypted transmissions for new coordinates too for that matter, again, it doesn't have to transmit, it just has to get to some known location that you can secure and pickup from.
Your roomie was a self loathing moron who hasn't quite figured out that he doesn't need to hate the world and have it against him in order to have an identity.
In short, your roomies handicap is not his inability to hear.
Yes, and that was so awesome of them, now we have far more spots than needed... AT EVERY BUILDING for people to not use... at the front of the lot.
My freaking running track has handicapped spots. That is retarded, even if you have someone who can't walk well that wants to watch, the other 20 years of the parking lots life the only time someone will part there is if they break the law to do so.
Before the ADA, things were a little less impractical and retarded.
You could also parent your children slightly rather than letting them run rampant and shipping them off to someone else who to deal with in a couple year.

Wow, its almost like you read the article.
RHEL has closed source software in it. This is nothing like buying RHEL. What you can download from RH is not what you buy.
You don't use a cookie.

Not sure why this is informative, of 'rooting your phone' is the answer, he might as well just get an iPhone and have everything you want.
Define completely artificial.

Way less than .03s.
I'm guessing you've never used an android device eh?
Nothing in the android gui happens in less that 30ms, its designed to lag from the start.

Works fine in crowded rooms, noise cancelation is your friend.
whereas I have direct access to any symbol I might need to type.
Really? What keyboard are you using that has the entire unicode character set on it?
You have direct access to more, not all. Its the exact same as a tablet, just slightly less restrictived.
Please show me the Mandarin keys on your keyboard or STFU.
If my brain is thinking at 80 words per minute, but I can key things in at only 20
Hahahha, talk out of your ass much? Do you realize how obviously full of shit you sound?
Yes, because you're screwy custom apps work in every environment OTHER than the iPad with no extra costs. You're argument is retarded.

Are you really that retarded?
Can you leave the keyboard and screen with your desktop computer take the remainder, less than most books on the train and still use it?
How dense do you have to be to not see the difference?
Because you'd still need a RPi to interface with android so you could have the GPIO and such needed for control. This meets the requirements, an android device alone does not.
This post may be a troll, but its dead on.

No, society did not decide anything.
Several high paid lobbyists in Washington greased the palms of the right politicians who then decided we would do these things.
You need to learn how the real world works.
