In the U.S., putting someone in prison is an opportunity for a corporation to make easy profit. The prices are very high and the customers (prisoners) can be abused.
For a moment I thought you were describing an Apple store.
"Fitbit only usable device, Nike Fuelband total shit".
I think they're all quite usable. In this space utility is not dependent on accuracy, for most people, because for most people it really doesn't matter if you get an extremely accurate step count. What matters is that you get a reasonable estimate of your activity level, as compared with you activity level measured on other days.
You could argue that something that sometimes only registers half the steps might make you fitter.... if you exercise until it says 10,000 steps every day you could be doing a lot more.
Of the dedicated devices the "Fitbit One" and the "Fitbit Zip" where super accurate, but the average for dedicated devices was brought down by the abysmal performance of the "Nike Fuelband". The various apps tested gave a reasonable performance, as did the other dedicated devices tested
I do not know how 'red wine' got inflated to 'any form of hooch'

... and the pint of strong lager that they drank before working on the paper probably didn't help much either.
If they can "accidentally" insert ads into video streams can we really be confident that the audio stream of conversations from the smart tv won't "accidentally" be passed to advertisers for targeting, listened to by employees, or even used to select victims of crime ("yes I'm going to be away next week but I'll hide the Rembrant under the bed")?
Now when South Korea and/or the USA send surveillance drones they will have "plausible deniability". I actually wonder whether they "kick started" this initiative.
but if its on O2 network, i might as well go direct, why would i use a 3rd party who owns no infrastructure at all ?
what am i paying for ?
They may have different packages which suit you better. I use giffgaff, which runs on O2 and has web only support but is a bit cheaper tahn going to O2 direct.
Given the number of mobile providers in the UK has been shrinking fairly dramatically recently, having another big player with big pockets and likely aggressive pricing enter the market is a good thing.
Yes its good - but the main concern is the reducing number of networks. Charges to both MVNOs and individuals could increase with reduced competition in this area
Slashdot Mirror
Silicone? Really incredible - transistors made out of flubber. There is a huge difference between silicon and silicone.
And if you keep abreast of technology you will know that silicone has more to do with enlargement than miniturisation.
If it does, or ever has done, any of these things where is the fucking bug report.
Where do you start reporting bugs if you consider that the design is buggy from the concept?
Most people start by posting to irrelevant slashdot articles..... but you know that already.
You are just witnessing individuals exiting from this industry.
OK
Fuck em.
So ... are they moving to the sex industry?
At least we finally get some understandable technical arguments instead of "it's a monolithic blob" ".
Steve McQueen didn't have time for technical arguments.
No surprise ... the link is blocked by the company firewall !
Tell me about the Lizard Men again!
Sorry, you don't have adequate security clearance.

regular software writers" dwell in the realm of the semi-science-literate.
Judging by some I know to reach an average of "semi-science-literate" isn't bad going
If you literally believe that nobody is getting in the way of women entering technology, you're crazy. Simply crazy. .
I'd like to point out that this could be good news, as Intel is seriously under quota for crazy employees. Microsoft on the other hand ....
....and refusing to share the secret sauce.
Is that like Colonel Saunder's secret recipe?

Looking at the graphs in the study a more accurate report would be:

But what if you don't have a smartphone? What if you want to buy a fitness tracker because it looks cool?
Then buy one!

No one so far has mentioned minix, which I think might be a bit of a solution for these issues.
No one has mentioned HURD either, perhaps they want something that's production ready?
Samsung says this was not intentional.

Believe it.
You should see what this cable does for porn!
That all depends where it gets plugged
Actually no, on the Ethernet side of things this is the most expensive cable.
I'll sell you a more expensive one (bog standard ethernet cable and tin of gold spray paint at the ready)!
Does this give us anything Raspberry Pi didn't? Just wondering, even if not more choice of open boards is obviously better
Now when South Korea and/or the USA send surveillance drones they will have "plausible deniability". I actually wonder whether they "kick started" this initiative.
I've only ever been subjected to one, and it doesn't seem to meet any practical definitions of failure.
You might not say that if you lived in Greece, from their viewpoint what has happened to them is an example of its failure.
Google inbox sorts my exchange email now?! Cool!
Well you could get it to read from exchange
