Well, my new tablet is a full computer, not a mere media consumption device. But that's because it has an Intel processor and runs a full version of Windows 8.1 on it. It has the 'Microsoft App Store' but it can also run any x86 windows software you choose that will run on Windows 8.
Also, it is significantly cheaper than an Apple Tablet that can only run 'apps' and it's made by Dell, not some Asian brand.
The fact that Microsoft is bundling full Office 2013 H&S on it for a total cost of $299 tells you they are either desperate for sales, or they're planning on penetrating the Tablet market bigtime.
Empty cans fly into the container in my back yard. Then about twice a year I sell the aluminum to a metal dealer. I usually get from $30-50 for it. It baffles me that anybody is stupid enough to give that metal away to a 'recycling center' without getting paid for it.
I have a railroad track running across my land. I own the land on both sides of the track. The railroad doesn't own the property, and I pay the property tax on the land. And my situation is normal, not some weird glitch.
When you patent something it's your own responsibility to monetize it. Engelbart didn't monetize the mouse patent, but by patenting it he sure claimed credit for it, which is probably more important in the long run. It would certainly be more galling if Apple were allowed to claim they invented it because he hadn't patented it.
Well, perhaps urban people will be extinct by that time. We have modern telecommunication, and modern transportation networks. There's no need for so many people, crowded in big cities.
Not that we want them swarming out here where it's not over-populated. Perhaps they should stay in their swarm cities eating crappy processed food from containers.
First off, evolution isn't the simple 'survival of the fittest' deal that you read about on a matchbook cover somewhere in a bar once.
Evolution is a process of divergence; species move into ranges they were not originally in, the ranges separate, and two new species emerge because they have separate ranges to evolve in. If and when the ranges merge again, one or the other species likely will dominate and wipe out the other species.
That's just one of the mechanisms of evolution. It's a complicated area of science, it's not just 'one species growing better and better.'
Definitely. The Google busses should be permitted, but required to be common carriers since they utilize common resources. Force them to carry whatever urban riff-raff want a free ride out to Mountain View. I'm sure there are urban youths who could make it a profitable venture to head out there.
I have three devices that run iOS. Of course, all three of them are now obsoleted by Apple. One was bought brand new less than two years ago. I dislike all of them at this point.
This is a big feel-good event for them. It's PR bullshit, and Apple probably paid the people who came in and made the trouble.
Nobody seems to be scrutinizing who and how the solar arrays were paid for. What percentage of the 'investment' was government subsidies? 10%? 20%? 30%?
They will do that because if it comes up as a safety issue in a casual discussion on Slashdot, it will occur to the engineers designing the system. Let's not get carried away that these threads on Slashdot are sessions at an actual for-real Genius Bar.
You guys and all your posturing had better be careful. Win 8.1 isn't anywhere near as bad as you make out. You'll blow your credo with regular folks who, you know, actually try it and find 8.1 to be ok.
The Pi is a fine pedagogical computer. It's easy for anybody to hook one up. But if you're going to embed, it's better to stay closer to the silicon, because $35 is way, way high for an embedded controller. I prefer chips in the $2-5 range.
Big Macs actually suck. A Whopper at Burger King costs about the same amount, and a Whopper has actual fresh vegetables on it (tomato and iceburg lettuce) Big Macs are actually rather dismal. I order the McDouble off the dollar menu.

It's a more interesting way for us humans to spend money than making a new 'Candy Crush' app, too.

That's just what it seems like when you live in the city and the only 'jungle' you ever visit is the red light district.
We here coyotes howling almost every night out here lately. It's actually become somewhat of a problem.
Here's your jelly bean.

I still like my SE/30 but I run NetBSD on that.
And Apple is only a Buick class of device provider. Movin' on up, I guess.

The trouble is, you're thinking in Metric.
Think Gallons of fuel. It'll keep you out of trouble.

Millions of non technical people will discover there's nothinnng wrong with 8.1.. Biddy badda boom.
No. Like. With Android. With Linux the product is free because you do the work yourself. Which is the most honest exchange, really.
You guys and all your posturing had better be careful. Win 8.1 isn't anywhere near as bad as you make out. You'll blow your credo with regular folks who, you know, actually try it and find 8.1 to be ok.
It's cool to carry on here at Slashdot I suppose.
Get real. This is about Android, not Linux.
And yeah, Android is 'Linux' but the Linux part is rigorously concealed.
That's more typically a comment you here in these parts from those who install Linux on Grandma's computer.
Glassholes are what remind me of the gargoyles in Snow Crash. Gathering' it up!
