We're not likely to ever get there. Mostly because that would have other problems that are much more serious to worry about. As long as robots have to be told what to do and how to react things are fine. The problem is that in order to replace the guards they would have to make the things autonomous and that's potentially very worrying. You'd have to be really certain that the AI had been program correctly otherwise there's all sorts of hell to break loose.
Different priorities and needs. In Asia, there's a significantly larger need for things like in home care than in the US. In the US we're graying, but the bulge is pretty minor compared with the drop off you see in China or even Japan.
Also, they were more optimistic about figuring out how to prevent robots from eating old people's medicines.
Ultimately, it's silliness. It would change things if coaches had access to other games, but before long things would reach a new equalizer and things would be fine.
I don't believe that it was ever included in CyanogenMod. Which is largely the point of it being open. One can easily flash a custom firmware that removes whatever silliness the carrier is bundling.
Mine was, I ended up with an x120e because I need something that's going to be readily portable and durable. It has similar specs to the cheapest to the Mac Air that I could have bought, but even after upgrading to 4gb of RAM and adding bluetooth, it was still $400 or so less than the Mac. Also, I bought mine during a sale which helped, but not that much, I think it was only 10% off or sometime similar.
That being said, I do kind of wish it had a back lit keyboard, although it's more cost effective to just buy a light.
I might be missing something, but isn't the Kindle power adapter just a standard micro USB cable with power adapter? From the looks of it it's almost identical to the one that came with my Nook, apart from different branding.
At this stage as things move more and more to a standard cable, it makes less and less sense to pay for an extra power cable when you probably have a half dozen ones sitting around already.
Why would you need a unibody aluminum case? For the cost of the case and pointless extras I could just buy a new ThinkPad when mine goes tits up, or get like 8 years worth of extended warranties on the unit.
I've contemplated getting a Mac in the past, I just have never been able to stomach the amount of money that I'd end up paying for shinies that have little to no impact on performance or reliability.
For a one day sale yes, I'm not sure what Amazon gets out of it, but B&N desperately needs more mindshare going forward. I have one of the first gen Nooks, and it's really good hardware, but most of the time when I'm reading it nobody has ever heard about it. Granted that's in the general public, but still not good.
Any money they lose on them on Black Friday is almost certainly going to be money well spent. The hardware is well polished and of good quality, and I can go into a B&N store and read free books every day if I like. Really, they ought to be advertising it on TV the way that Apple and Amazon do.
So does drought and famine. Some parts of the world would likely become more habitable than they are now, but others would have water shortages and resulting famine.
But, then again, you're trolling so I doubt that it's going to make a difference.
Which you are able to work around, compared with the Windows world where you really do need a special tool for a lot of that stuff because otherwise you probably don't have any means of doing it yourself as the company assumes that you'll be using their special application to do it.
By default all of those logs on my Linux and *BSD systems are user readable and I can't think of any that aren't.
It's rather a double standard to complain about the quality of the ones in the *NIX world and then ignore the fact that in the Windows world if you need information that they didn't foresee you needing it's at least as much trouble as it is in the *NIX world. At least in the *NIX world they give you the tools to do it yourself it the options aren't appropriate.
I'd mod you up if I had points. That's exactly how it's worked in the US. The GOP has figured out that by scaring the crap out of people and blaming the government for them being scared that they can get reelected without even trying to provide a better government. More than that they've found that they get rewarded for making the government as dysfunctional as possible.
What's scary is that at this time they aren't even lying about their priorities.
That might work well for some subjects and some students, but it's naive to say the least to suggest that this is likely to be a viable replacement of the educational system any time soon.
The reason it's far off isn't the means of communicating it, it's the students, the students haven't evolved to the point where they don't need a teacher or at least a tutor at most points of the process. Sure there are a few that don't need any help at all, but there's little to no evidence to suggest that they're the status quo.
$100k? You're doing it wrong if you're going $100k into debt. It hasn't been that long since I graduated and I was only looking at a fraction of that. Most recently I spent a year at grad school for under $5k for all school related expenses.
Yes, but the reason we wouldn't do that is because if most things are human readable you can just manually do the edits your self if you need to. Otherwise it requires some sort of justification as other formats have been constantly changed over the decades to keep up with advancements.
It's a distortion to suggest that the model doesn't work when clearly it does. The formats of some types of files and devices have changed, but the way they interact hasn't. Most of the time I spend fixing Windows is because MS thought itself clever enough to beat generations of programmers.
I disagree, the fact that such a model still works so well decades later is definitely evidence that they were doing something right. When it comes down to it, if you make everything a file then you don't have to worry about envisioning niche uses as most of them can be accomplished by chaining together several commands. The ones that don't are still not impossible as you can just throw together a Perl script or similar to manage them.
Theoretically you can watch more with streaming, but in practice I don't think that's a common enough problem. What it means is that I could watch a couple episodes out of several different series during the week. The main limiting factors for most people are time and the speed of mail. People probably do watch more streaming than discs, but then again they might not, I know before I canceled that I watched several times as many discs as streams. And since leaving I haven't missed streaming at all.
I have no idea whether or not I'm normal, but my gut tells me that I'm closer to normal than the people that are watching tons of content every single week.
It's relatively common in the construction field to do that. Which is just as well because there's typically a lot less work in the winter anways. If they work enough they can even draw unemployment during the winter.
To be fair, most of those practices should be much more prevalent than they are. I mean how many times do customers have to have their identities stolen because of sloppy handling of PII?
No, they exist because people are willing to buy a product that's designed to addict them and has some pretty nasty side effects. Legalization isn't going to change those facts.
Even under legalization you'd still have labs, it's just they'd be less likely to be in trailers and more likely to be regulated, but considering how many people are killed by tobacco and alcohol every day, the meth lab risk is significantly smaller than either of those two.
That's not really the DEA's fault that there's a lot of people out there that are more interested in getting high than dealing with the consequences. People routinely blame the DEA and the prohibition on the war in Mexico, but the fact is that if there weren't so many self entitled jack asses willing to pay for the product despite its illegality it wouldn't be an issue.
At the end of the day it's just rationalizing a previously held view point rather than attempting to get the law changed in a reasonable way. This isn't a human rights issue, civil disobedience isn't exactly going to represent any meaningful sacrifice.
Canceling gears is to be expected, but doing so before there was support for the replacement in either of the other top three browsers is silly. That being said, I don't use the functionality as I prefer to use a proper mail client.
