Holding the cruise control level to change speed is more distracting than holding a button to activate voice commands - I have to visibly look at the speed that I'm setting.
I want GPS in my car. If that means using my phone to drive the GPS, I can tolerate that, as long as it's easy and efficient to attach/remove the device and doesn't fuck over my battery life.
If my phone has to be made by Apple to get GPS in my car, I'm not getting GPS in that car. I'll buy a car that I can get GPS in.
If I have to buy a Garmin or TomTom and remove it from the windscreen every time I get out of the car (to prevent broken windows/theft) then that's not going to work either.
If the car offers integration to Apple devices, but lets me use factory fitted GPS or an android device instead, then hey, choice is good. But I understand completely that a car that supports Apple devices or you can't use the built-in screen is a big reason to not buy it.
Such as? Do we know of any in particular, or are we being hyperbolic for the sake of argument?
Well, if I flick my indicator stalk it flashes the indicator lights three times then switches off. I have to hold it to the side for a while before it'll stay on. Similarly if I press the cruise control level, it turns on. If I hold the lever, it changes the set speed.
Not quite on the steering wheel, but analogous to your interaction type.
Holding a button rather than pressing it shouldn't be a major issue. It's also fairly pointless unless pressing that button has a different function, which may or may not be the case.
Fine. Have the pound, have the Bank of England, and have all the debt. The UK can set up a new currency instead.
Happy now?
If you don't want the debt, why should we let you take the oil? That's shared at the moment too.
If you want to use the pound without currency union then go right ahead. It's your economy that'll be out of your control, but if that's what you call independence then be my guest...oh look. Fucking Scottish Nationalists living in cloud fucking cuckoo land. If you want independence, vote for it - but don't be thinking you can pick and choose which bits you want. The rest of the UK will be looking out for itself post-separation and if that means fucking over the nascent Scottish state then that will happen.
(And before you fucking bleat like a member of the SNP, no, that's not bullying. It's cold hard logic - something the SNP lack)
There's a difference between knowing, and acting on that knowledge.
I expect my employer to know every instant message I've sent through their system. I expect them to monitor that for sensitive data (in the business sense). I don't expect them to mine that information to see which of the girls in finance I'm seeing outside of work, and I don't expect them to give a shit even if someone told my boss.
Which is why someone coming to me going, "Our records show that you have a relationship with her" won't result in me complaining about the records, but will get a big fat "So what? Speak to my manager if you have a problem with that" - my manager will tell them to fuck off without me even needing to bother.
My employer gives a shit and i'm glad they do. We have a moral and legal duty of care to protect an awful lot of sensitive data and monitoring communications channels is an important tool in providing that protection.
Lync can go beyond the corporate network; we really don't want someone copy - pasting sensitive data over IM.
I don't see the need. Men don't face the same barriers that women who want to enter those professions do.
Listen, fuckwit. MEN AREN'T ENTERING THOSE PROFESSIONS.
There are barriers. You bleating about male privilege is not backed up by the raw fucking numbers of men and women entering those professions.
Now fuck off and take a walk. It's nearly 1am here, and the streetlamps have all gone out. My female friends still manage not to be attacked. Meanwhile, men are MORE LIKELY than women to be assaulted. Just what the fuck is with your irrational prejudice.
Clearly you recognise your privilege to be a cunt. It's working for you, keep going.
I'm personally not particularly taken by Google Glass. I haven't seen the killer app for it yet - although if it were cheap I'd probably get one to use as a remote control for my camera. That would be lovely for street photography.
But the Slashdot community is not the mass market, and does not share mass market preferences. Don't be betting on the success of a product based on responses here.
Thanks for sharing your prejudiced stereotypes. Sorry but they don't apply here.
And please, stop being a hypocrit:
We provide opportunities to disadvantaged groups to help achieve equality.
Yet you don't see the need to provide financial assistance to men to help them get into well paid professions such as medicine and law? Despite them being in the minority of entrants?
As I said, prejudiced. Now fuck off back to your ivory tower, I'm trying to live in the real world.
Nah, I'm always very open about my street photography. I walk up to someone, photograph them and they see me immediately afterwards.
It's that moment before they react that I want to capture. Afterwards they can do whatever they like. Usually it's 'look confused' but a quick smile reassures them, and I move on.
Yes, this works when photographing children too. Yes, I photograph children. Yes, I post those photos online. Yes, it's legal.
Aww, c'mon. Either you eat a lot of pepper or you're just biased.
I have a friend that's a massive Porsche enthusiast. He refuses to buy one: to take it to its limits he has to drive dangerously. To take a 'normal' car to its limits, he gets to stay at speeds slow enough to give him emergency braking time.
On country lanes this stuff matters.
All cars are fun at the limits of their performance, so save the money and get a car you can take there all the time.
Had you suggested charging Walmart and its owners the same tax rate on profits that its staff pay on salary, to cover the subsidies, I'd have been right with you. That's all that's needed, and it's a hell of a lot less than 90%.
Sure there is. A great CEO can spend an hour doing something that leads to several hundred new jobs. Is that hour worth 60 of those newly employed people? I suspect they'd think so.
Running a major enterprise isn't easy. There's an awful lot of information to absorb and decisions to make, and the implications of those are immense. That's why a good CEO is worth a lot of money, and a bad one takes down an entire company.
Sadly it's quite difficult to know which one you've got in advance.
Bully for you. I had to work for my success. Nobody handed it to me on a silver platter. Being male didn't get me into university, didn't earn me my first job, didn't stop me getting fucked over by three different companies.
Life is hard for everybody. I accept this. I'm just keen that people don't build systemic prejudice; why are you so fucking keen that they do?
As for "Men's Rights Advocate", I've never encountered that term before. But I'll tell you what, I'll advocate gender equality. That's not men's rights, that's everybody's rights. Is that fair?
I agree with you. People at the top-end are bloody impressive, whether it's Starcraft, the triathlon or fellatio. I can admire the skill, whether it's something that could be automated or not.
The challenge with the other guy is that he seems to think e-sports are more impressive. I'd say he needs to find one of the people I referred to above.
How is a scholarship that benefits women when women are already ahead of men (academically) anything other than reinforcing the advantage that women are getting?
What 'male privilege' are you fucking talking about? I sure as shit haven't seen one. I'm not a fucking CEO, people don't hold doors open for me, the Government sure as shit doesn't hand cash out to me, the education system is biased against me, the welfare system doesn't recognise me, the health system allocates less funding to me than an equivalent age/race woman..
Maybe 20 years ago there was a privilege, but not now. Don't even fucking pretend.
As for compassion, go fuck yourself. Seriously, I had no empathy when I was living in second-hand clothing and my mother skipped meals to save money. So my lack of empathy now has no relationship to my relative level of wealth, I just lack empathy.
I also hate people pretending that men are somehow given a free ride in life. They're not. Is equality really so much to ask?

Tell you what: Inform a judge that there was no crime because you punched a man and not a woman.
See if the judge agrees.

What the fuck is Anglo-catholic?
You do realise the Church of England is protestant?

I'd recommend a full week - a day is easy (relatively) to sleep through, make it last.
No, I'm with him. Visual Studio is excellent once you know it, but it's a fucking nightmare if you dip in only occasionally.
Which is the opposite of how an IDE should be helping.

If you tell your employee to do something stupid or illegal then you'd better hope they know not to blindly do what you tell them.
Unless you're a stupid cunt, which I can't rule out..
My employer gives a shit and i'm glad they do. We have a moral and legal duty of care to protect an awful lot of sensitive data and monitoring communications channels is an important tool in providing that protection.
Lync can go beyond the corporate network; we really don't want someone copy - pasting sensitive data over IM.
I've done this. Worked out well for me, and definitely helped on the mental health front too.
I don't see the need. Men don't face the same barriers that women who want to enter those professions do.
Listen, fuckwit. MEN AREN'T ENTERING THOSE PROFESSIONS.

Depends on the moustache. Some would require Google Monocle.

Please, come to the UK and let me know where you are. I'll come and photograph you.
Y'see, it's legal. If you assault me because I take your photograph, you go to prison. The Government gives me money in compensation.
We have many flaws in British society, but punching people for harmless photography tends not to be one of them.
Nah, I'm always very open about my street photography. I walk up to someone, photograph them and they see me immediately afterwards.
