    Actually both of those usually only require a high res photo.

    But nobody moves large quantities of content between devices.
    They look up a contact, listen to a song, or show a coworker a picture of their dog.
    We don't use our phones to edit the next Pixar film. 99% of my time on a mobile device is spent on apps that require connectivity anyway.

    You carry a lot of porn around huh?

  4. It's email you dumb ass. Controlling one server is useless. Any state dept communication would be documented on the other end anyway.

    There has been no evidence of any breaches or any willful attempt to violate regulations.

    Actually the point being made is dead on. At best she did not comply with regulations. Seeing as it took months for those that wrote them to figure that out, you can't blame her for not knowing. That's how compliance regulations work. If your out of compliance they tell you to fix it, then they comeback 6 months later. Nothing done was criminal in nature by itself. Know if she did it as part of another criminal act, say to falsify expenses, it could be. Anyone that thinks Clinton would be dumb enough to do anything illegal over email has not followed her career. She is crafty too a fault at times.

    I think you need to look up illegal in the dictionary.

    Or they'll start making earbuds with built-in DACs, but the earbuds themselves will be heavier. Given a choice, I'd rather have a little more thickness on my phone than extra weight hanging from my ears.

    Are you not familiar with modern technology. A lightning connector with a DAC in it could certainly be as small and light as a 3.5 plug.

    If you don't know what your talking about be quiet. Yes ADC was silly but it only really lasted one generation and was just DVI with power so adapters were cheap and I think included. Apple's old audio input was 100% standard compatible 3.5 mm line in jack. The Plaintalk mic (not AppleTalk) was just a mic with an amp to raise the signal to line levels. Of course at the time most pcs required an add on card to process audio at all.

    That rant wouldn't sound so stupid if there was DRM on audio anymore.

  17. Re:false comparison... on 'Headphone Jacks Are the New Floppy Drives' (daringfireball.net) · · Score: 1

    The point for audiophiles would be with a 3.5mm jack the DAC will never be any better than the one built into the consumer level device. A digital connection allows you to choose a high end more expensive DAC unit if you so choose. And people do choose to do that already, connecting headphones with their own DACs to digital outputs.

  19. She's right on American Schools Teaching Kids To Code All Wrong (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    They don't teach coding or computer science in k-12 schools. They teach scripting. The thing is you can't make coders. You have to be born one, or pretty close. Its not about language or syntax. Its about logic and breaking down complex systems into simple actions. You have to think that way or you will never be a decent coder.

  20. sort of ignores the fact that most hybrids use regenerative braking and harder compound tires.

  21. I know a company that uses a 30 year old wang to run 40 year old software. They trade parts with a special obsolete equipment unit of the military that seems to be the only other place that still has one.

    Yeah, they would probably need something like a super high voltage shock to set it off. Luckily there's nothing like that in a engine compartment.
