The Ironic thing is that speakers and audio are analog signals and require analog inputs. With a "digital" headphone all you are doing is moving the DAC out to the headphones where the digital signal is converted to analog and pumped to the speakers. I see little point in a system that moves the DAC out onto the headphones and will probably require charging the headphones.
Plus the extra weight and size added to the headphones. Plus, your iPhone will now be incompatible with every other piece of audio equipment that has ever been made with an audio jack input. Of course, that is probably the point of this change.
This I disagree with. An intelligent ocean-based life form is going to have to find a way to work with steel to get to space, and that can't be done below the surface in any way I've ever been able to imagine.
Perhaps that just means you lack imagination or aren't really trying. What about underwater lava flows. If there is an intelligent underwater species they are going to start investigating their world. Or the invention of pumps and containers. I guess it would be impossible for an air living people to invent something like a vacuum chamber? I mean, that would never happen since they can't live without air. And they would not be able to experiments in this vacuum chamber would they? An underwater people could invent the same thing and perhaps try experiments with putting air in the chamber. Then you discover that metal can melt in high heat, etc.
They are saying the vehicle drove over 39 feet of planters to hit the building. The picture shows the plants and grass to be less than the length of the model x. The model x is only 198.3 long which comes out to 16 and 1/2 feet, less than half the distance they claimed it drove. I guess they don't care about the truth or verifiable facts.
I started on the TRS-80 also. Booted right to a green screen basic prompt. I had a rather large book on learning Basic with several various programs in there to type in. It had no disk drive so I had to type the program in again each day. Eventually I remember getting a tape recorder hooked up that could save the program to regular audio tape.
At the end of this mad race to the bottom we call capitalism who will be left with jobs so they can, you know, shop at Wal-Mart?
I've seen that movie. It's called Idiocracy and the computers that ran Brawndo fired the CEO due to stock price drops. Even the CEO wasn't as important as the computers that ran the company.
Why would an engineer come inspect something that was done without a building permit and noone even knows there was work done. If you are following the laws, then you are following them. If you aren't following the building codes, then nobody knows about it and no mere words on paper change that.
There may have been design decisions that could have been better, that is for sure. But I was reading an article about a year ago that looked at the Ford Pinto and compared it to other cars of the time and found it was not really more dangerous than the others. It just got the media's attention and then the bad publicity lead to more attention on it when things did happen.
And having a bunch of regulations is going to stop this how? If someone uses 2x2s to build something how does some paper with words written on it stop them from selling it to you? It doesn't.
Yeah, but when I search about a Linux problem I will find answers. Maybe several different ones depending on which installation or configuration you have, but one of them will solve the problem. When I search for problems on Windows I find nothing and no solutions. The simplest fix for a Windows system is a full reinstall and that is the first thing I try once the system gets bad.
I run without any updates at all and am problem free. Except for the link to the fake Chrome install that IE led me to right after I installed and I have some stupid driver pop-ups. But that is due to Bing search not knowing how to find the site I would like and sending me to malware. Now MS is giving the malware directly. That is what I expect of them and that is why I do not install any updates.
Well, MH370 was a false flag operation. So no amount of GPS and real-time data will tell you anything as it will be faked anyway. They failed to notice they had the wrong widow configuration though, so they could make mistakes in the real-time data faking. But most people and the media will believe what they are told anyway and chalk it up to "conspiracy theory" when the evidence comes out that it was faked.
I don't mean to say that women can't be sexist at all. But if a women is treating another women in a certain way, how can you consider that sexist? Isn't sexism defined as a negative treatment of someone of one sex by someone of the other sex?
I don't use the Google version, or the Hound voice search either. But now that you mention having other people hear your voice search, I can't even think of a time I have ever heard or seen someone using any of these voice features of a phone. Besides playing with it when it first came out that is.
Better add a login to the XBone startup also then. We don't want people to be able to use your gaming system while you are away or sleeping. Seriously, that is all I use my Windows system for. A password is just an extra hassle for me (Steam controller from the couch with no keyboard) and an even bigger hassle for my kids when they start to game more.
This is not a dialog box which says "You are about to format your hard drive. Click 'Yes' to continue or 'No' to cancel." In such a case, good UI design would imply that [X] would be analogous to the cancellation of the request that was made which brought up the dialog box in the first place (presumably clicking a "format" icon or similar action). This message box is not making any such statements or asking any such questions.
. . .
But clicking an [X] on an informational box and expecting that to somehow reverse a setting behind the box? No, I don't understand that one.
You seriously don't see that installing a whole new operating system on your computer is very similar in nature to formatting a drive? You should go work for Microsoft then, you will fit right in. I see that the dialog for those two situations are equivalent. If it tells me I am going to format a drive and I close the window, I would be pretty upset if it went ahead with the format anyway because the window was only informing me what it was going to do, and since I didn't cancel the action with other means it continued on. Ditto for the OS installation. That is precisely why people are upset about this. It should not be a "we are notifying you of something", it should be a "we want your permission to do something" as it is a risky procedure and should only be done with full Opt-In action, not lack of Opt-Out.
As a end user I do have complete control whether Windows 10 upgrades my system. It's a simple option called let me know when Windows updates are available instead of Automatically install. Please don't confuse ignorance with the lack of choice.
That "complete control" is not as complete as you thing. It would be simple for MS to push an update that has a description that it fixes a root privilege flaw in IE and you would install that. But it would instead download and install Win 10 without you knowing. That is not complete control, that is merely the illusion of control. They probably could even start the install without your interaction if they really wanted to. I'm sure they have some sort of backdoor they could use.
That's exactly why I never install ANY windows updates. I trust my ability to protect myself from malware more than I trust what MS will push down onto my system. I also would rather re-install the system when it does get hosed from a mistake rather than put up with all the reboots and degrading performance from the MS updates. I have been doing it this way since the days of WIN98 and it has served me well. Besides, back then you had to re-install every 18 months or so anyway just because of sludge in the OS files that slowed everything down.
It was their work until they released it to the public for viewing. They got copyright in exchange for it passing into the public domain. If they don't keep the deal then there is no reason for us to keep our side of the deal either. That is why BitTorrent is legit.
Since when is a monopoly an acceptable thing anyway. If you want to sell it to a distributor to show it, you should be required to sell it to all distribution channels for the same price.
Actually you can browse their selections. I read that in their privacy statement, that you can browse without making an account, but they don't put a link to the browse page. A google search for vidangel and browse found it though. I found the search bar the same way.
What's the use of having an IQ of 150 if you cannot get away with doing illegal things?
And that, ladies and gents, is what we call a sociopath.
I think the real sociopath is the one who agreed to put their work into the public domain for a limited time of protection, but then reneged on the deal to keep their stuff out of the public domain forever. Funny how the biggest culprit of this is the very company this news is about.
Think of it as a special kind of moral stupidity mixed with evil. It is a general marker for bad character, bad judgment, and often an inability to accept responsibility.
I'm beginning the think that a pro-Semite is all of those things! They certainly seem to be like the child abuse victim that grows up to abuse their own children.

no one is safe what with all those lunatics walking around with guns!
Especially the lunatics with guns and badges!
And wasn't that badly written PulseAudio also done by Poettering? I think I see a pattern here.

And as MH370 demonstrated, if it is an intentional aircraft downing, disabling the system is easy for a knowledgeable terrorist.
Or the US government black ops, as may be the case in that plane disappearance.
Well, MH370 was a false flag operation. So no amount of GPS and real-time data will tell you anything as it will be faked anyway. They failed to notice they had the wrong widow configuration though, so they could make mistakes in the real-time data faking.

Yep. Install from a pirated copy of Win7 and DO NOT install any updates from MS ever. That is how my system stays safe and secure.
As a end user I do have complete control whether Windows 10 upgrades my system. It's a simple option called let me know when Windows updates are available instead of Automatically install. Please don't confuse ignorance with the lack of choice.
