there's no way to close the application without invoking the Task Manager.
Sure there is. You swipe from the left side of the screen and all active background windows appear. You drag the little window you want to kill across the screen and down to the bottom edge. Once you've done it a few times it's a simple swiping gesture.
Do you even use Windows 8.1 on a tablet to know what you're talking about?? I'm on my second Windows tablet, because I decided I wanted a bigger 10" display and physical keyboard (got an Asus Transformer, old machine was a Venue 8 Pro)
Whatever word you want to use. We have people here in the USA who namecall that way. They use terms like 'Commie' to refer to those foreign people they don't like. Welcome to the same league, dude.
Godwin's law is a usenet phenomenon, intended to describe the period when a usenet thread could go on and on for weeks. So a thread woud be 'officially ended' by Godwin's Law when someone invoked the hitler mentioning.
On today's modern web, i.e. on Slashdot, theads never last more than a few days because blog site operators close down the comments after a few days or a week has passed. The agenda of discussions is driven by the operators by means of throwing up new 'articles' all the time.
Essentially, Godwin's Law is obsolete and doesn't pertain. Certainly not in the context that it was created to operate within.
It's just a meaningless meme now that people use to shut down discussions even more prematurely than blog operators like Slashdot do by shutting closing off comments and adding new topics.
The NSA doesn't want your cash. They have bigger fish to fry. Also, they are in league with other TLAs and can print up some twenties to slip in your wallet, with little effort.
This should probably be sold as an insert for any wallet rather than a full wallet, especially their shitty design.
This is another serious issue for me. It is really really hard to find a good wallet of the proper size and configuration. Everything I have seen sold at a Big Box store is completely unacceptable, and botique-type places also are severely lacking. I had to go to a traditional 'leather shop' in a classic 'tourist trap' historic town to find a suitable wallet at any price.
I own a neutered smartphone. I use it over wifi or my pocket sized cellular wifi router (which is pay-as-you-go). It's a challenge keeping a cheap neutered smartphone happy, because it's a cheap but nice (Gorilla Glass, Android 4.4, etc.) Boost Android phone that was only $40 and Boost seems sort of upset that I've not activated it. It demands to activate every time it's rebooted, with long timeouts when it is disabled from use unless I press the 'activate' button. All avoided by seldom ever powering it down. It's rooted but I haven't figured yet where to snip those particular wires in the filesystem.
This isn't really the 'Internet of Things' doing much of anything, though. The wallet runs an offline-beacon transceiver that isn't using the IP protocol for anything. It's an IoT hype story.
The US withdrew from Vietnam, after the South Vietnamese 'won' the war. A year later the North rolled in and took over. The US didn't 'win' or 'lose' in Vietnam. They just abandoned their allies there. It's kinda similar to Iraq in a way.
You and people like you are a big part of the reason a lot of us can't stand the whole Apple universe. Isn't there some other cult you could join where your zeal would be better spent? You're spattering all over this discussion. It's patently obvious you're not just a paid shill, you're just mentally ill in the same way as a rabid Scientologist. Go away. Really.
Journalists are people who flunked calculus, and then couldn't even get into the English department. They get their revenge on the world by going to J-school and then becoming 'science journalists.'
No, you can't do your masters thesis on those leaflets they pass out on the mall.
I have a real problem with the prevalence of online Video in general. There are way too many 'how-to' things out there now that would be well documented by a list of bullet points on a well edited text document. Instead, all that is available is a rambling, fumbling, blurry video.
Video is the lazy way out and it promotes sub-literacy.
Not really. All the bodies in mass graves will emit lots of methane. Also, the disease vector of lots of dead bodys lying around will drive up medical cost enormously for the survivors.
That's interesting. Have there been instances in Europe where fracking caused earthquakes that companies were required to pay damages for? I hadn't heard of any such thing. Are there examples you can cite?

Beep Beep. If I don't have my phone with me, I don't feel at all safe or connected. Beep Beep.

This isn't IoT in the first place. The wallet has a beacon. It isn't connected to the Internet nor does it really make use of Internet Protocols.
The fact that he carries his phone/wallet in a fanny pack doesn't make the phone/wallet a purse.
There are other considerations, of course.

An App for ID? Sure. When you get stopped by the police just hand them your cellphone so they can sync it in their squad car.
the party raising most of the tensions in the "region" is the US who keeps demanding that the world do as it says or "else".
The problem with that is if the US were to back out, Japan would re-militarize.
The world really doesn't need that again.

Trust in the Cloud. The Cloud is your friend!
The Newton was a turd that nobody bought. The Palm developers had to leave Apple so they could innovate.
Even Jobs knew the deal with Newton. He killed it.
Dice, there is no way out of it. We need a killfile function.

Is 'distant memory' a pet name you use for your ass?
As to your comment about physicist/engineer: fuck off, Apple shill. This is still Slashdot.
Go peddle your turds someplace else more friendly to shills.

If I wanted to run an OS that Flash didn't work well on, I'd at least have the decency to run a real unix like NetBSD.

Buffet doesn't want more railroads.
He wants more oil tankers, forced to roll on the railroads he owns.

We hadn't yet reached the level of wealth and comfort as early 21st century Japan, though.
In Soviet Austin, memories and learning are inserted in YOU!
