I replaced my Nexus 4 with the OnePlus 3 in July and have been very happy with it. The OnePlus 3 has great battery life, it runs and charges super fast and it can get a GPS lock outside nearly immediately without any network assistance. I used the OnePlus 3 during a weeklong backpacking trip in August and was shocked that it was able to log GPS all day and still have plenty of battery left at the end of the day. I imagine the 3T will work even better due to the Snapdragon 821 (~10% performance increase over the 820) as well as the higher battery capacity. Just be aware that Verizon and Sprint networks do not work with OnePlus devices.
Good question. Based on a logarithmic fit curve of the IMDb Top 250 movies (with an R^2 of 0.97), it would appear that larger lists would still contain movies with relatively high ratings. Currently the lowest rating on the Top 250 list is 8.0. Extrapolating from the fit curve, here are some other possibilities:
- a Top 500 list would have movies with a rating of >= ~7.8 - a Top 1000 list would have movies with a rating of >= ~7.6 - a Top 2000 list would have movies with a rating of >= ~7.5 - a Top 10000 list would have movies with a rating of >= ~7.1
It would be nice if IMDb revamped their top movie list so that one could arbitrarily choose the number of titles to show.
With the granular privacy settings in stock, what does Cyanogenmod really offer over AOSP now?
Fast forward and rewind by long-pressing the volume buttons. I still miss that. Ultimately I ditched CM when the phone functionality of my previous phone stopped working for an extended period of time.
Being one of the greybeards who still reads Slashdot, I'll add a few:
- Add the ability to edit comments until they are moderated or have a reply - Stop linking to Forbes articles and posting Slashvertisements - Stop running articles about Martin Shkreli or other things that have nothing to do with "News for nerds" - For the love of all things absurd, please add CowboyNeal back as the final poll option - If you need money to operate the site, try asking for it from readers. That way you can reduce or eliminate advertising useless junk that nobody wants

I don't have a question for Linus Torvalds, but I do have a story about asking Linus Torvalds a question. Back when I first started using Linux in 1995, I couldn't get the 'top' utility to run after a kernel update. I was only a kid at the time, and for whatever reason I figured the best approach was to just email Linus Torvalds himself to ask how to fix it. Little did I realize that would have been like emailing Bill Gates for help because a driver didn't install correctly on Windows. Surprisingly, Linus wrote back and explained that I needed to update my version of procps (or whatever it was called at the time). Linus, if you are reading this comment, I'd like to say thanks again for the tech support.;^)
I found it interesting how the video for the Apple Watch showed it nagging the wearer to stand more, exercise more, etc... I don't think anything that nags the user like that will be broadly accepted.
I just checked and they state that the TS-7260 draws half a watt minimum and 2W typical... I seem to recall it drawing even less than that though. Perhaps it was 200mA @ 3.3V which would fit within their spec.
The embedded ARM boards from Technologic Systems are worth looking at also. I used a TS-7260 with a large enough SD card to install Debian with gcc and it worked great. It booted nearly instantly and consumed something like 100mA of current at 3.3V IIRC. It was quite a robust little box. There are newer and faster models than the TS-7260 at the link I provided above.
I watched the final Challenger launch in person in Kindergarten from Orlando, FL. The teachers and aides let all the kids outside to watch the launch and then brought us all back inside without explaining what happened. At the time I thought that the SRBs were just taking a different path than normal. It wasn't until that evening that I found out from my parents and TV what had happened. To this day I have disdain for situations where misinformation or lack of information is happening.
From the Ars Technica article it looks like they are targeting PCs, Macs and console platforms for the new release of Star Control. To me it seems like mobile platforms would also be well suited for this game, as it shouldn't need the latest and greatest graphics capabilities. When SC2 was released, it could actually run on an underpowered 286, even though 486s were popular at the time. At the time that seemed to help its popularity, as pretty much anyone with a PC could play it.
Why not just open the blinds before bedtime and turn off the lights progressively at night... or whatever the magic is... that does this?
It may not be as simple as staying indoors and opening blinds or reducing lighting at night. The article I read yesterday (here) said the test subjects were exposed to 400% more sunlight when camping outside compared to their usual indoor environment... so sun exposure may also play a role. Considering that Vitamin D (which the body synthesizes in the form of cholecalciferol from sun exposure) acts contrary to melatonin levels (which spike during sleep), perhaps sun exposure provides a strong natural cue for the body's melatonin level to surge at sunset.
Artificial banana flavoring is synthetic isoamyl acetate, amyl acetate and other compounds, whereas actual bananas likely contain hundreds of distinct flavor compounds. Isoamyl acetate by itself is often described as tasting like banana and pear, or Juicy Fruit. My guess is that artificial banana flavoring just isn't as complex as what bananas produce (no pun intended).

At the risk of sounding like a prima donna, not very long.

Here are CVE details for each browser:
Edge: https://www.cvedetails.com/pro...
Chrome: https://www.cvedetails.com/pro...
Firefox: https://www.cvedetails.com/pro...
It looks like each of them has had their fair share of significant security flaws. Does anyone track how quickly flaws are patched for each?

Indeed. This effect was described 25 years ago by John Kricfalusi and dubbed Space Madness.

There is no special group comparable to the Jedi or the Sith, with special powers in their blood.

Lol. Same way things have always been, unless a 5 or 4 digit UID wants to show me how much of a whippersnapper I'm being?
Get off my lawn!
Agreed. I looked and some poor schmuck three hours north of Brisbane, Australia has the address "riding.hustlers.hotel". No joke.

Agreed - something like this technology would allow passengers to choose whether or not to see outside:

I suspect the majority of people haven't the slightest idea of what a hectare actually is -- I know I don't.
Just remember that 1 hectare is equal to 10.5 square femtoparsecs.
The uses are contrived and niche.

All this needs is a microphone, loudspeaker and vocoder so you can convince all of the onlookers below that you are their supreme overlord.

Great, thanks. It's definitely a drive from where I'm at but hopefully I'll make it out there sometime.
