My daily drive is 465 in Indianapolis, where the auto fuckheads are the fuckheadiest turds in America. I'm not kidding, the automobile is the #1 fetish object in Indy, don't dare even look sideways at the average dudes 'car' with disrespect. Coupon books full of car wash tickets are a cherished gift to give a loved one.
Anyhow, I am trying to figure out this 'get you much' bullshit. My car (a stripped Ford Ranger) gets me here, it gets me there. What the fuck is this 'much' you're talking about? The Ranger iss not a motorized sofa, but I (hope) I'm not the fatass who needs a sofa to ride around on. The best thing for it is that it's paid for, which is more than can be said for most of the flash on the road.
"Too much ivestment in your device with apps" is less and less of an issue all the time.
The Android and iOS app marketplaces are almost identical feature-wise and most of the big flagship apps are published and available for both types of cell phone.
Plus, it's fairly hard to spend more than $50 on apps for either product without going nuts on junk games you'll probably only play an hour or two.
The 'investment' in the app store is a throwaway consideration. Nobody is really 'trapped' on either platform.
Steve Jobs named a whole computer system (Lisa) after a child he refused to publicly acknowledge and you're claiming there is no rape culture at Apple? There is a culture of forced expropriation at the core of Apple going way back in time.
Grandparent commenter loves to kiss somebody's ring before being allowed to run any new particular software on his pocket computer. It's a Total Power Exchange deal.
The idea that there are other people out there in the world who don't fetishise ring kissing raises his ire.
A whole new level and dimension of Fart Apps, of course!
They still haven't made a fart app for the iWatch though. I guess 10,000 of them for the iPhone was more of a trend in the early App Store. But this new gimmick opens up new possibilities! (wet farts if you press hard, gurgled farts if you have liver cancer, etc.)
And I don't think 'IT' should be the focus of more than about 20% of Slashdot. Because I'm a nerd, not an IT drone. When I was a developer at a medical device company, I still wasn't an IT guy. The IT drones were the people who screwed up our computers with shit like Lotus Notes. We really didn't want them around much. All they were good for was keeping the paper and toner supplied to the printers.
No. A 'dysfunctional' congress that doesn't churn out enough laws to suit certain political interests does not empower the judicial or executive branch to churn out new laws of their choosing. That would amount to a dictatorship, which we don't have here in the US.
Furthermore, not everybody considers it 'dysfunctional' for congress to churn out fewer laws. If Congress convened for 3 months every two years we would all probably be better off.
It has been well documented that it was not a 'typo.' Try something else. Maybe another heaping of 'millions of poor people' will convince somebody of something or other.
Fine. Then it's a perfectly legal method for the Federal government to try to extort the State government into providing exchanges. One that should have backfired when the States refused to do so. I'm glad you agree with the minority in today's decision.
I used to get under $4 cases of beer back when I was a student. And the return on the case of bottles was 80 cents. That's a 24 bottle case of traditional brown-bottle bear, mind you, and it was often Leinenkugels.
In the 1960's we primarily went to the moon because it allowed the government to spend billions of dollars on dual-use technology that would help us deliver nuclear warheads in the event of the cold war going hot.
It looked much nicer to the folks back home to be able to point to 'peaceful space programs' while doing missile research.
There isn't the same impetus now because we've done the important research.
Windows 10 may very well kill Android on the tablet. I have a very nice Android tablet but I seldom turn it on at all since I got this Asus Transformer with x86 Windows 8,1 on it. Everything is crippled on a toy OS.
You can have a vulnerability to blinking LEDs being a 'trigger' event for you, and then mandate no blinking LEDs around you. The whole 'trigger' deal is flexible and thus a popular syndrome to suffer from.
My car is a 2006 Ford Ranger. It has the CD Player radio option. That's the only option. It doesn't even have Air Conditioning. The windows have cranks. The door opens with a physical key that I can duplicate in the hardware store for $3.
If I lived in some urban hellhole it might be an issue. But it's a stripped Ford Ranger, and nobody ever even steals any of the tools out of the bed (just the tire iron and a few other things)
"Currently, just 25 states and the District of Columbia allow computer science to count as a math or science graduation requirement,"
Unless the 'Computer Science' courses these students will be studying is Knuth-level algorhythms, they should take the Math classes. Learning how to 'code' is vocational education, and the math background will be of more value.
Do you know what eutectic solder is, and it's merits? What is a totem pole output's advantage over open collector? do you use an H-bridge or are your stepper motors center tapped? I know what DHCP stands for, but this isn't an IT drone site, it's a nerd site.
It's a scaling issue. At the economy of scale an automated setup establishes there's way too much data centralized for 'analysis' by undemocratic government agencies. All of the 'big database' issues really are about this. There are so many meta-activities that can be done using the gathered data. If there was a one-hour record retention policy (nothing retained for longer than one hour) people wouldn't be as disturbed about it.

To be fair, they add in technology to marketing, with the end result being marketing gimmicks.
They used 'taptic' to get a 'tap' oriented proprietary term for haptic feedback. What are they going to use for this. Faptic?
Sounds right.
It was the nature of the referendum, not simply the fact of it being a referendum.

No, you're just afraid.
It's frightening when people don't play by the rules you assumed we all have to follow. Clutch your rulebook, then, and hope things will work out.

Lots of people haven't upgraded from Adobe Reader.
We have work to do educating people.
I use SeaMonkey because it's built on the legacy of an ancient browser. Both in codebase and in architecture.

And writing some totally new software using a huge number of people to do so has always proven in the past to produce new bullet-proof software, eh?
Apple isn't gonna save us. Apples war-chest money should be paid as dividends to the shareholders, anyway.

A dashcam app plugged into vehicle computers where the driver 'complies' with various conditions in order to get the best insurance rate.
There are already 'Onstar Mandatory' leasing agreements. I heard an ad for one on the radio today.
