Most of the ranches and farms around here are smaller ones, completely family run and usually with both adults working a second full time job. All of them are 10+ miles outside cable and dsl coverage, so 3g service is the only hope for any real internet access ($20 dialup over mechanical switched phonelines that are older than me, second phone line is another $60/month). And the terrain is so hilly even the ones just outside town can't get the wireless internet offered for $100/month by the local ISP.
And yeah, the sound recognition one was for humor. Th figured the "Holyshit it's a bear!" call part would tip people off. Crows couldn't give a shit about a bear beyond possible leftovers.
Though it is nice to see people on the opposite end than the urbanites who've never been to an area that wasn't 90% contrete and asphalt. Even if you are just as incapable of seeing a situation any different from your own.
I can! Instantaneous access to current market prices. Farmers who have this access have reported much better returns on their harvests. Access to emergency services incase of an accident. Some ranches around here don't have even basic cell access. Instant access to veterinary, horticultural, ect... resources. "Never seen this bug before, is it good or bad for my crops? If I don't squish now will I have to napalm my field later?" Sound and image recognition programs. Not many people can tell the different between a crow's mating call and their "Holyshit it's a bear!" call. Maps. Repair resources. Not everyone knows their quad bolt by bolt, knowing your kawasaki has a loose clutch linkage can save a lot of walking. Entertainment. Not all cowboys find the great outdoors so incredibly breathtaking that they never get bored, and a horse can navigate by itself better than any californian driver.
Yeah, all worship must rightfully be directed towards our lord and savior Steve Jobs! Speaking highly of anyone associated with the unholy Competitors is heresy and devil worship!
Or you can just drop the religious shit and accept that the guy did better than most corp employees.
He believes it's unfair for any company to make products that compete with apple, so to legally satisfy FRAND all other companies must transfer ownership of all patents to apple then commit ritual suicide.
I don't care which way becomes the "best" choice as long as both styles interface through a standardized connector. Both sides of chip vs platter will always have their own strengths and weaknesses, I like choice.
It's very easy to see this becoming the highest cost and highest performance drive of the near future that server admins and performance enthusiasts go to. While the SSD takes over as the PC and small device storage of choice.
It wouldn't be that nice. Only approved upgrade kits would work, every 6 months a new $100 kit would come out, and developers would be forced into an SDK that automatically keeps any game's minimum requirements lock-step with the console upgrade schedule. The upgrades would be nothing more than unlock codes for clockspeed and features already built into the machine.
Apple would sue them for ripping off their business model.
I'm guessing Marriott's monetary claims are mostly "It's his fault we have to pay all this money, we wouldn't have to fix anything if he hadn't used those flaws to break in." He still hacked and deserves what he got, but Marriott is just trying to shift the blame of their security flaws so investors don't point the blame at them.
Luckily for schoolgirls of the world, Japanese vessels have been working preemptively to keep the whale population down just incase they develop tentacles.
1 night hospital stay in california for a bleeding ulcer. My hemoglobin count had dropped to 8 (average healthy is 15) by 48 hours after the first symptoms. Treatment consisted of 3 student doctors bickering over whether I deserved a single blood pack, then an EGD where they cauterized the ulcer ("The clot came loose completely by itself and at no fault of our own, so we had to close it."), and finally a boot out the door.
Total cost without insurance because I had just moved there 4 months prior and disney didn't offer it, $17k and I never did get that blood pack. The hospital tried to blow past the financial assistance when I was admitted too, "I'm legally required to tell you about the assistance options you have, but you'll never get it so just sign here to decline..." Luckily I'm still pretty darn coherent even missing half my blood and got all the proper forms filled out.
Wow, did a shady repair shop tech kill your family or something? Just wondering because holy crap, you make some huge assumptions as to who and what I am, what's going on, and what I'm capable of.
I've been an IT admin overseeing ~120 state employees for almost 5 years now. When one of my users screws their computer up I fix it, and due to state laws and regulations I'm not allowed to force any changes to our systems that would prevent this from happening on a weekly basis. I'm also really good at dissecting these pieces of crap as they come in and have successfully removed previous variants with 2-3 years clean running since.
But please, continue to tell me how to do my job. I can learn so much from a wannabe indie game developer with a pre-canned website and a basic "Look, I gots a grid textured flat plane to stand on and a cool rotating sky to looks at!" demo video. Though I will give you this, it did turn out to be a wipe job. Thankfully I know how to use the basic tools of the trade and had it cloned and ready really quickly.
I've got a computer on my bench that has a virus symantec corp edition is currently protecting. Attempts to remove the file run afowl of symantec, and I can't kill symantec because it refuses to disable or uninstall (can't manually stop services either).
Little bastard has hooks all over the place and is a variant of the "Your harddrive is failing, pay us monies to fix it!" that actually deletes all the start menu shortcuts instead of just moving them.
Tamper proof system on the access panels, breaks vials of a weak stinkbomb if someone opens the panel without knowing exactly how. Stick a note with "Next one will be filled with nerve gas" inside the drone too. Next drone fill with a stronger stinkbomb.
Wouldn't be long before word got around to the rank and file soldiers that the crazy americans are filling their drones with nerve gas, none of them would touch a downed drone.
Correct. Completely identical computers should produce identical results. Too bad we can't make perfectly identical computers. We can't even test machines to see exactly what minor imperfections they have so we can extrapolate exactly how it will work.
Currently most computer errors manifest in inconsequential details like a pixel being 1/256th redder than it should be for one frame out of 3000. How exactly will that translate when a computer is simulating someone's conscience? Would you want to be uploaded to a computer that has some minor processor defect that gets interpreted by your conscience as an ant crawling on your brain?
So... which is it? Do you want to transfer your brain to a computer, or do you want perfect consistency? Or have you never seen two identical computers run the same program differently?
Lets drop all environmental laws while we're at it. Why should I have to pay a city sewage utility when I can just connect a pipe to my toilet and dump it all in my neighbor's yard, or even better the river.
These laws are put in to stop idiots from doing stuff now that will com back to hurt them and others later. I can dump my sewage in my neighbor's yard now, but really damn quickly that neighbor will pop over to my place and pop me one in the face. I can guarantee you there are a LOT of people who do not understand dumping your sewage on someone else's property might be objectionable and might cause that response. Just as there's a bunch of people who don't know those more expensive bulbs easily save you more than they cost, and using less efficient bulbs just hastens rising power costs.
If I assume only 2/3rd of the driving I've done with my car in the 3 years I've had it has been trips within the 300mile range, that driving has cost nearly 500 gallons of gas a year, with local prices putting that at $1700. The same amount of driving with the 300 mile range tesla, 35 recharges a year. At local electricity prices, that's $300.
In 10 years when I would have to replace the batteries on that thing, it would net me a $4000 savings in fuel costs alone. Adding in other maintenance costs just makes it better. If I were looking for a new car in that price range, you bet I'd go for the tesla.
The only reason I can't assume 90-95% of my driving in is the range is because I have to make monthly 600mile round trips in a state where "electric car" translates to "UnAmerican Commie Terroristmobile", finding a charging station within range is a lesson in futility.
Claims? Well shit, we're apparently having problems enough with living terrorists, now we have to contend with ones speaking from beyond the grave? Osama the Terrorist Ghost. Or is this more of a Achmed situation? youtu.be/1uwOL4rB-go
Metal particles made into a thick paste with some glue or other thick liquid that vaporizes nicely, melted into place with a laser. Make supports to places that need it with the same metal and cut them off with the same laser once the piece is complete.
Probably all the pieces would be things like clips, pins, struts, ect... Nothing that requires a bunch of run off bits that require support when making.
And they could go to the court with 10000x the amount of lawyer time than you could afford.
Do all libertarians actually believe there's a cosmically enforced good/evil balance, that the little guy actually can take down the big evil groups if not for the government holding them back, and that certain metals have a universally recognized value? Or is it just the ones I've encountered?
