Saying one thing tastes like something else is fine when that something else has only one taste, like salt. The taste of raisins depends on the type of grape the raisin is from, where the grape was grown, how that grape was grown, when it was picked, how it was dried, how it was stored, how long it has aged, and a whole plethora of variables. Does "taste like raisins" refer to the sweetness to savory-ness ratio? the saltiness? Is there an emotional bias to this? If the taster hates raisins, is this "tastes like raisins" thing provoking a similar emotional response, or is it a true reflection of the underlying chemistry?
"Tastes like raisins" is as meaningful as "heavy as a dog" or "long as a fish" or "the color of this dress"
If traffic lights in modern America are triggered by sensors or cameras, and respond to the traffic load, explain then why I sit at a red light in the middle of the night when there is no other traffic on the road.
Every idiot who says "Yarg, teh internet of things" should get swiftly smacked in the head. Because other than they want a piece of the action, not a single one of them can tell you what it is and why you actually want it.
The laser was considered to be an invention without a purpose for a long time too.
I was thinking the other day that the OneNote user interface would make for an excellent OS interface. Imagine, a tab for games, a tab for applications, a tab for utilities, etc.
The complexities are irrelevant. Calories in means all calories in. Calories out means all calories: maintenance, exercise, whatever calories are in the waste products.
Digestion *IS* basic thermodynamics. Granted, there are differences in efficiencies, feelings of fullness, metabolic set points, and yada, yada, yada; but that's all a smoke screen. If calories in is greater than calories out, you gain weight. If calories in is less than calories out, you lose weight.
The moment a work is presented to the public, it belongs to the public domain and is an element of public culture. The government restricts "for a limited time" who has the right to copy such works. Copyrights are, by their nature, a removal of rights from the general public.
Did you even watch the video? It flies. Sure it can also roll along the ground, but the main thing it does is fly. And since it flies, it will be out of reach of whatever pulp inducing tools may be brought to the party.
Also, maybe it's just because I've never worked in that industry before, maybe it's common practice in rocketry, but is anyone else impressed with the use of sound triangulation to figure out which part broke? I've never heard of that being done before.

I am impressed that they were able to do this. I imagine that this would be difficult under the best of circumstances, but inside a rocket during a launch? That's not the type of environment I would expect to hear anything apart from the roar of the engines. I'm picturing 3D renderings showing simulated sound waves, experts trying to line up similar sonic wave-fronts to compute timings, and lots of computer time.

Perhaps the temperature of the water? The pressure at which it is applied? There are ways.

With cheap, abundant energy, we'll be able to ship excess heat off-planet.
A lory is a parrot. Perhaps you meant lorry?
They ARE bombing the right targets and winning over people... just not in the demographics you favour.

Most of the ones not tied to windows are tied to the web. That's a deal breaker as well.
I've tried them all. None of those comes close to what OneNote can do.
Evernote is cloud based. OneNote is local.
What I don't understand is why Libre Office never put together a clone of OneNote. It's the one piece of software that's anchoring me to Windows.

Except a calorimeter is going to burn things that the body cannot process. Thus the readings are always going to be higher.
Why are you so quick to rule out amputation, the quick and easy way to lose weight and keep it off?

What has that got to do with running OneNote?

I don't see linux on that list.
Where is the open source version of OneNote? It's the only thing holding me to windows.
