I agree, if anything great talent like Paul McCartney and U2 would still be releasing albums adding content to collective human culture, now they sit around and eat off work they once did. How is the consumer benefiting from lack of content.
I had a lengthy conversation with netflix support, apparently, there is NO way to view 4K netflix content except for a smart TV that supports "software" as they call it. Essentially, its DRM as demanded by studio.
So as in my case, I have 40" 4K monitor, all the hardware, a 4K plan with netflix, 50mbps internet, but I cannot get 4K because its only available on these so called Smart TVs.
Before we argue, 4K content is a lot lot sharper. I do want it, but Netflix won't stream it to my PC.
After engineering, some of my friends went into IC design. There first few projects were rather painful.
They would sit in large halls where laid large sheets of competitors ICs. The competitor products were stripped apart, grinned few microns and each layer scanned into these large sheets.
There fresh out of college labor was in charge of then crawling over these large print outs and decoding the design.
Amazon or any other big corporation does not pay taxes is a misnomer.
Such organization choose to spend this money in investment or give their money to employees as salaries and bonuses, amazon has 222K employees, if it spends half of this 10billion in employee salaries and bonuses, billions just went in taxes to the government.
Does this app crowd source their user base's contact list?
That would suck. I don't want my number and name in some central database. Its bad if Joe the group's goof installs and the app siphons my number off his contact list.
It is antsy for sure, just had a trip to India last month, a mere tourist visa for 30 days and they scanned for my finger prints.
Here I am at immigration counter asked to scan my finger prints. I don't know what this data will be used for. I don't know how it will be protected. I don't know what will happen if I say no.
I spent about $10k for the trip, should I say no and be returned back on next flight or just scan my finger print and hope for the best. Hell, even my 5 year old had to scan his prints, what for!
As a java developer, working on java from JDK 1.0,
This is a long time coming, Java is now mostly used on large server side projects. Its driving the Big Data revolution with technologies like Apache Spark. Running countless servers on Tomcat and/or Spring containers.
Oracle is not wrong in discontinuing the browser plugin. They should have done it with JDK 5
i have been flying drones, half a geek can build drones that avoid collisions, auto land using laser range finders or sonars. And this is open source stuff that few hobbyist put together, no where near the kind of effort apache or linux put in.
So I think its fear mongering.
Further, all those news, I have always seen a commercial product from DJI etc, a bloke went and bought one from target. None were ever where hobbyist who have made there own drones. They are more responsible, know the rules and play within it.
Hmmm, so no building a stealthy detector this way.
Is it theoretically possible to capture a larger bandwidth using SDR, with oscillator freq far away so not to be detected, then doing a FFT on it to isolate police radar?
In my excuse if I make no sense, last I studied radio communication was 2 decades ago in engg, went down to software development and never looked back.
Naturally, police have Radar detector-detector built into their radars, and I know of one confirmed case where a friend visiting out of state got caught with his radar detector.
So, can a radar detector built out of SDR/GNU Radio be detected? Hypothetically of coarse.
MOTO X Style (Pure) is awesome. Xperia Z5, particularly the Compact comes to mind, Sony is going to go minimalistic on the UI. Oneplus 2 also come to mind, but thier invite system leaves much to be desired.
Read this somewhere, humor with a hint of truth (and I paraphrase):
Girl: They thought he had a bomb Guy: No they didn't think he had a bomb Girl: Yes they did Guy: They didn't evacuate the school like you would if he had a bomb. They didn't call bomb squad like you would if he had a bomb. They took pictures of the contraption which you wouldn't have time for if it was a bomb. They put the contraption in a cop car which you wouldn't do if he had a bomb.
I have never owned an iOS device, in fact I stick to Nexus devices with a 3 month S4 stint few years back.
I still don't want to move to iOS, but I am pissed at the android manufacturers.
Why can't they give me better battery life, LG G4 has a 3000mah battery, iPhone 6 has 1810mah, then how the hell does it manage to last longer than the G4.
Fortunately Camera's are starting to compete and exceed, but the battery life still sucks.
Yes, I know the android's do more, the services from different apps keep running, but thats the wrong design IMO. All apps should rely on push from servers which Google should take ownership, how it will work in the most efficient way.
So basically, few years of nexus from one to 5 and a few tablets like 7 and 10, I am at a loss.
Wife has the iPhone, and clearly, I don't like what I see there and the Android guys haven't got their act together where they can give me a price/feature benefit as well as a device "better" in all respects to iPhone, which fortunately ot unfortunately is still the king.
Its not like they are installing it. Its just downloaded and you can always remove it by saying you don't want Windows 10.
I found it rather handy, an icon says windows 10 is ready for install, and it installs if you so choose to. In fact, on my laptop, which often stays turned off, I decided I like Windows 10 and want it there too, since the laptop stays off, it downloaded for a few days before I could install/upgrade it
The experience on my desktop was much smoother.
And no, its not at all like Apple/U2, there you had it forced, here it stays dormant unless you decide to either install it or not.
It seems there are a lot of restrictions on what can be imported into gaza as there is a risk technologies might fall into terrorist hands and used for nefarious purpose. Under this, is it really possible to import a 3D printer into gaza for such tasks?
What halo provides is a level playing field where average Jor can turn on and start playing, no fiddling with PC configuration, no over clocking, just simply powering up of an appliance.
PCs with K+M provide better gaming experience much in the same way as a personal helicopter commute would be so much better compared to public transit or cars.

Is that you?
Is this a good will agreement?
What is stopping me to change the lock screen or the OS completely if its tied down somehow?
I agree, if anything great talent like Paul McCartney and U2 would still be releasing albums adding content to collective human culture, now they sit around and eat off work they once did. How is the consumer benefiting from lack of content.
I couldn't quite understand that, do you have a video of that?
That is what it is, its designed like a diesel locomotive, only real difference, it runs on roads and not tracks.

At the time of her death, just a reminder that she also represents why Immigration and Refugee asylum is essential.
Growing up in Iraq, she eventually migrated to Britain before creating a mark globally. Made the lives of many a little bit happier as art does.
Listen to the xenophobes and such talent may not get the recognition it deserves and humanity would lose talent that could have been.

No one is giving free food,
Company = Facebook
Product = Poor People
Consumers = Advertisers
In your example
Company = Mc Donalds
Product = Food
Consumer = Poor People
So bad analogy.

Some would say Zionist and Saudi money is already doing its thing.

Where I live, radar detectors are illegal.
Naturally, police have Radar detector-detector built into their radars, and I know of one confirmed case where a friend visiting out of state got caught with his radar detector.
So, can a radar detector built out of SDR/GNU Radio be detected? Hypothetically of coarse.
In that case, can you put it past CIA?
