I had to install the Linux subsystem in order to run a python script that converted mercurial repos to got repos. Couldnâ(TM)t be bothered to get python working on windows because itâ(TM)s not something I use in my work normally. However thereâ(TM)s a nice script in python that does all the work of moving your mercurial repos to git and converting the history which was fairly easy to get working under Linux. Not having a native Linux system at work, the subsystem proved very useful for my task and is lighter weight than running a full vm just for that task.
I think it's your head phones that cause the lag. In my old car I had a cheap $30 bluetooth AUX adapter and when I played music or whatever in my car there was no lag. With the exact same phone but in my "new"(2010) car(Mazda), there's a delay of a couple seconds now. Same phone, different car. I think the car/headphones have some buffer or something that causes the delay. My same phone works fine with some cheap bluetooth earbuds as well. I watch videos no problem. So something with the bluetooth implementations in some devices seems to cause delays sometimes.
Ohhh, I bet they will lay a lot of people off. I worked for a company in Canada that was partially owned by Comcast/Time Warner. Comcast bought out Time Warner. There were rumours of layoffs, and some suit came up and we had a big meeting about how everything was great and nothing would change. Less than 2 years later the whole company was shut down.
It's not even a hands off car since they require you to hold the wheel. Otherwise it'll start yelling at you. They do market it to be capable of more than it really is. They talk about AI and self driving but it's not reliable to be marketed like that yet.
Actually this is not the first time I've read about this. People that live on residential streets that are close to major highways have had problems with Waze and the like routing way more cars through their streets than it was designed for. They design residential streets for a typical traffic flow and not for a lot of cars bypassing traffic on a regular basis. Imagine living on one of these streets and having hundreds of cars come down there daily, when it was never designed for that and thus making your quiet residential road into a high traffic road.

Where I live, there's no such thing as a locked down school, be it primary school, high school, university, or college. There are security guards at the larger schools but they are not armed because they don't need to be. We very very rarely have anything like this happen. We do not have easy access to guns. You can get a hunting license and get a gun with a background check and what not. You can't just go into any random gun store and buy a gun without that. Now maybe in the USA due to how many psychos there seem to be with easy access to guns, you may need better security. But think about why there are so many psychos and why they can so easily get extremely dangerous weapons first. Here there may be the same percentage of psychos but you can't just go into any random sporting goods store and buy guns.
Yeah they can be replaced, either at the Apple store for $99 USD(now $25 USD for the next year) or a 3rd party shop which can do it as well. You don't have to trash the device.
This new FF quantum architecture has a major regression which they're very slow on fixing so far. If you have a large select list(html SELECT), FF takes several seconds to open it when you click on it. It's so bad that we had to tell users to use IE for now until they fix it. Chrome and Safari all display the select list in less than 1 second.

I haven't had any problems with the wifi at my gym or at the grocery store which is a cellular black hole with the concrete and steel. They even have those forced portal pages where you have to agree to their TOS to use the wifi and it works fine. It must be something specific to certain vendors and not something they're doing on purpose.
Here in Ontario Canada, we also use electric resistance for back up with ground source heat pumps. Some times we get winters with -30C or even colder. In these few days of the year, the electric heat can come on. It's a very rare occurrence most of the time. Your brother's system might not have kept up without the electric resistance but if it was sized properly then it wouldn't have happened except on the very coldest of days in the winter.
The ground is always around 50F/10C so even in the dead of winter you can still heat your house off of that. You can also put the ground heat exchanger in a pond if you have one. Ponder looking out to your frozen over pond and then imagine that you're heating your house from the water in that pond. That is a reality with ground source heat pumps. Air source heat pumps are a lot better than they used to be these days but they still struggle in the very cold winters.
Agree. Looks like shit. Who wants to work at a crappy table with a bunch of other people on laptops. Looks retarded and no privacy.

You seem to be confusing sales with profit. He said nothing about he has millions in profit, only in sales. A couple million in sales isn't that out of line for a small company with a few employees. Hell, my dad had single jobs worth 200K+ by himself, whereas the profit was much less.
I can't back up the data usage part, but on my iPhone, the Facebook app was accounting for 20-30% of my battery usage per day and most of the time I wasn't even using it. Once I disabled the background activity, it dropped to 10% or so(still pretty high).
Most old people can barely get out of a chair. I don't want to be like that if it can be avoided. That's why I lift and have more than average muscle mass. The more you have when you're younger, the more you will have when you're older. Higher test will just allow you to keep more of it later in life.
Bodybuilders who know what they're doing will base their cycle off of testosterone and stack with others such as tren, etc.. Other steroids have stronger androgenic and anabolic effects but test works better to keep your natural libido and energy since it's what your body expects to be there.
I drive a Mazdaspeed 3 and it's the same. 2.3L turbo, I can easily get to over the speed limit before I'm even on the highway and I average 22-24 mpg with lots of city driving. The little econobox engines rated at 40mpg can barely get to highway speed on the on ramp so you're having to floor it. The mpg rating is a bit over optimistic based on the fact that people don't like accelerating at the speed of a snail so no one drives under the conditions to get the rated mpg figures.
I personally don't "get it" how bb is better at those 3 things. Perhaps you can enlighten us?
iPhone, Android, BB: All can send emails. You can argue whether the physical keyboard is better etc. but that's personal preference.
iPhone, Android, BB: All can sync contacts. Not sure why one is better than the other.
iPhone, Android(never used it but I believe?), BB: Can work with Exchange if you use that, calendars seamlessly sync between devices, computers, etc.
All I have ever heard is BB is "better" at it, but no one says *why*.
I can bend my thumb back to a 90 degree angle with just my muscle and tendon and farther if I apply pressure with my other hand/fingers, so no. Some people like me have very flexible joints.
Actually you can't get signal up that high(~35,000 feet). Around here when I fly my plane you lose data service above 3000 feet or so and at 10,000' you have no signal whatsoever. Now I'm not sure what altitude these calls were supposedly made at but I have first hand knowledge of when my phone will and won't work.

Google Power(Beta). Will be available for 3-5 years and then shut down. All existing customers will be cut off with 3 months warning.

It's only an outrageous price if it's an Apple phone

Which is why they warn you to not use the beta on a production machine. If you don't listen and something goes wrong then it's your own fault.
