Hmm, this is interesting because some farm soil can be exhausted and will no longer produce. I wonder if land that is set up this way could some how be worse or better. So aside from availability of water and light, would the soil remain arable with nutrient levels.
And as an example of the accountability you demand, you've posted as anon for this round. Well done.
Demanding no tweets can be deleted is like asking for scratch paper while somebody is writing an essay. He's deleted one tweet, after ample time was there to complain and it was to correct an autocorrect. People who demand this stuff are the same who said nothing when Obama was sicking the IRS on journalists, or Holder giving guns to drug cartels, or Hillary killing someone to help birth ISIS. You only care because it gives your autism comfort.
Crazy thing, I think if they sold OLD radios like 30s and 40s style wood, of high quality, they'd probably stil be in business. You want a new radio in a nice wood cabinet, that's a product that you nearly have to make to get right. Most of the ones that look cool are made like shit.
They made a go of it last summer. They were at the midwest maker faire and sponsored a big soldering event teaching kids to solder. It was really cool. I signed up for their email list and they had pretty good emails. Unfortunately I just never reconnected the brand or what i would need at any given time. Their products in the emails were pretty cool things like drones and some audio stuff. I remember thinking man, I think this could work for them, but I wasn't persuaded back into the store b/c of a nearby Microcenter.
Hmm, all might not be lost. Companies sometimes try to re-logo rebrand and it can work. Or they can totally change the name and try again with a massive marketing campaign. Or they could go totally niche and maybe corner the market on something out of the ordinary but with good profits.
I'll give you an example. There's a truck stop / gas station called "Loves" It's got some really cool items in there for truckers. They were even carrying a bluetooth headset before Amazon had it. I could drive down there and get it, whereas Amazon didn't even know when it was going to be in stock. Now that was a specialty item, it was expensive and it was *possibly* an early exclusive to Loves. Plus Loves carries other items like that, it's. Some are cool, some are meh but it's a specialty store that's doing fine, plus they sell gas, so that helps.
Problem with radio shack doing a niche is you have to change marketing tactics totally and it might not even work. Then what you've once again roasted the brand for a percentage of people who might have gone back in as a general store. I dont' really think selling 3D printers is the way for them to go. I do think they could see about a team up with monoprice where I would say some of the better chinese products that rise to the top, get rebranded and can have the mail order and retail outlet. Mono-shack. Hmm, it's a thought.
Tough problem. I tend to think there's ways around it using the power of authenticity, guerilla marketing or just targeting a key competitor and trying to beat them with brand influence. Despite being an older failing brand, I think more people know Radio Shack than monoprice.
Just a side note. In the early 2000s, Radio shack would have these big group seminars where if you were looking for job, you could see what radio shack had to offer. I attended one, not knowing what to expect. In the presentation basically they hammered home that they were ALL about cell phones and cell phone commissions. For somebody who thought radio shack might be cool as a little retail job to learn gadgets and products and become a subject matter expert I basically was hearing that "this job is all about commission, and commission comes from cell phones. This really was the cell phone boom time so they probably thought it was a great thing to latch on to, problem was, all the other stores in those same strip malls, half were tanning salons and the other half were your sprint, t-mobile, verizon etc.
Radio Shack was competing with specialty phone stores in the SAME lot. Enough people went in there, probably got turned off by the phone emphasis and said never again.
I think Radio Shack also limited themselves by their own standards. They always wanted to be in these high end strip malls where the lease MUST have been astronomical. But radio shack probably had a standard requirement for real estate (much lke McDs and Walgreens all have) but when you place yourself in these areas and start to fail, your options are limited, you start closing stores, then your stock reports look like shit. Your image suffers because of your standards.
I'm pretty annoyed by both Radio Shack and Sears not being able to figure things out. Merchandising is an art and a science but they have long histories and should be able to get good data and beg borrow and steal ideas and avoid failures for the most part.
"The way developers intended"
We hear this statement way too often. It's totally disingenuous because it implies some sort mindset of purity to game development on CRT TV technology. While it's true games were developed with considerations of these screens they were played on, by no means is there consensus that developers saw these screens as integral to playing and enjoying their games.
You NEVER hear people saying "I restored my 13 inch black and white TV with the 4 ft rabbit ears so I can get the true experience of what the creators of "I love lucy" intended.for me to see" I mean c'mon.
We do need to fix the lightgun situation though. Some people have done so using WiiMotes and some raspberry pi or arduino hacking from what I've seen.
Nice signature, "Calling someone a 'hater'.... Whereas you have no problem calling people racists. Pretty sure complaints of immigration have nothing to do with the color of people's skin, and is more the content of their character (trends of groups, personal experience) is why people don't want their government choosing to bring refugee centers to their home town.
Since you're from Australia, perhaps you can totally identify with aborigines there. I mean any of their problems is totally because of white racism. Has nothing to do with IQ group averages right?
Your feel-good 'understanding' of history is great for children's TV, good ole sugar coating. I bet you're one of those people who preach 'diversity is strength' without having any evidence to back it up.
Exactly, I mean sure we'll just have to let those thousands of girls who get raped, people assaulted by groups, and those who lose their family members to murder, to just 'hang in there' because it'll work itself out eventually. That usually calms people and they understand to trust their government's diversity program.
you think a china town, or korea town is integration? Ok, so let's have Africa Town. Sound integrated that way?
Also have you looked at Sweden? They have Sharia controlled zones there now. How Awesome. Go there as an actual Swedish citizen and prepare to get your head caved in or disappear forever. Police don't even want to go in there.
That said, Asians are pretty good at integrating because they work harder than the locals and don't come in trying to change everyone else's way of life.
One of the really big features of the Surface Pro is the Pen. It's kind of a key feature, so this HP device, though looking quite good, simply isn't in the same category where it could just replace an SP4 for somebody. Looks very slick though. Would love to try it out for a while.
Thank you. Democrats are racist as ever. Every enabling move they make takes the next black generation down further. They've basically split up the black family.
Banks being bailed out from something they shouldn't have been able to guarantee in the first place. The fed and gov't are the enabling force. The banks with their buddies in gov't were bailed out by both parties.
I know some people won't agree but I forced myself to create a few things in Scribus and it was an OK experience. It's got a few good points and some annoying points as well. It generated nice PDFs that viewed perfectly on multiple readers
On Windows, you also have Xara Design Pro which is fantastic, but a lot of these alternatives depend on how strict your requirements of file sharing and print output formats and specifics too many to mention.
If I was drawing in the air with a pencil or something, how does it know when I'm drawing or not? is there an engage button we can assign to keyboard key?
Good call outs here. Every local news station has the worst video player mechanism. Rarely does my browser crash but it happens more than half the time I stumble on a local news site video. I try to exit those tabs as soon as I realize because those pages are loaded with shit. Local news sites are the absolute worst players and then they doubledown with 20 other concurrent flash apps playing at the same time. Idiots.
People abandon videos that don't play, big surprise. This has nothing to do with poor video quality. Experience tells users that if it's going to lag at the beginning it's probably going to lag the way through. Seems lke more short attention span than demanding quality expectations. It's surfing useless entertainment. These users aren't trying to watch something that their life depends on. Laggy video is not entertaining, so you switch it off. This isn't much of a scientific study. Anyone who publishes their video on a stats based player, such as brightcove are used to these abandonment stats.
people should know that tonido works cross platform on the desktop and servers of course. I think this would be maybe more helpful if they wanted to load it on a home box. I was thinking I'd create a home server with the open source Amahi software on an ubuntu or fedora setup, and load the tonido plugin extension into Amahi.... by plugin I mean the software addon not the actual plug device.
I'm thinking Tonido is the best for this right now. I'll tell you why. Because like dropbox you can access your files remotely. It has a backup app plugin, so the syncing would take care there.
And for photos, which dropbox handles really well, Tonido also handles. It creates interactive photo gallery by auto-creation of thumbnails and a javascript based slideshow viewer. Includes ability to download full res, as well as a zip of the directory.
You can assign users to view and be able to download, to enable the sharing. It's pretty simple.
Now, if you had the right host, like a VPS, maybe you could load tonido, so it's an always on dropbox that you own. I dig it. I need to use it more. Unfortunately from work, I can't access my home box even with tonido because my work's network blocks acess to the port that tonido uses, like port 10000 something... you can look it up. But there's an iphone, android app.
I could say more. I need to blog about this probably just to reach out to a few others. I've purchased the pro plugins for it, because they were good, but if I had a tonido plug it would come with those.
I have to get away from the LCD screen for part of the day and this is a good option for me. I have the OLPC so I'm very familiar with it's screen look and how it differs from other LCDs. So this is the right tablet for me. What they have is 2.2. with libraries from 2.3. Don't know if that means VOIP included. But whatever. I'm not all that concerned about that at the moment.They also said they are skipping 2.3 for Honeycomb. That's a good idea. Why go to the next mobile phone OS when the tablet OS is on the horizon and you already have part of 2.3 in your system?
Xoom looks awesome. I may buy that one too. Definitely recommending it. BUT let's not forget that the Xoom could easily be a bastardized version of Honeycomb too, if it's locked to a carrier. It is also a "must watch" until I know how others like it.
There is a dedicated market for it "Genesis" and once Honeycomb hits you'll get the Android market. The market is just an.apk anyway. The reason there's not Android Market right now is that tablet apps aren't on the market. So YMMV with those apps. Honestly with a full browser, most of the apps I use on mobile I don't need if I have a full browser. Exception being maybe Astrid, Shazam and maybe a few more that have special notifications fancy features or non-web uses. Depends on the user.

HDMI problem is fixed by a $10 adapter.
