I can log in to my laptop from my phone and play wow... There is some input lag and i wouldn't pvp but I did a OS run (10man raid) on it without tooo many problems.
Uhh PDFs are 4~5x as big as html files. The load speed is probably 30x or more. For a complex webpage it takes a webpage under a half second to load. A similar pdf may take 12 seconds. That is with foxit reader not adobe. With adobe the most common reader likely 20seconds or more (Haven't used it in years). If you count that as a small difference I'd have to disagree with you. PDFs are worthless shit like FLAK files (the only compression technique I've seen make files bigger than wavs).
Good job shooting yourself in the foot. Bought a product, started a thread complaining about it. Then continued by complaining that no other program replaces the fake functionality created by the LOCK-IN you are trapped in. I'm sure you were amused when iTunes updates install browsers and if you ever try to leave remember that ipod updates will still fuck up the interaction with non itunes aps until they fix it.
Suggestion? Get out now! Leave every apple product you can while you still have the chance. If you don't soon it will be too late and you won't be able to do anything without more very expensive apple products.
Some people come out, some are only under for a few days or weeks.And we can tell if they are experiencing pain by scanning their head.... or you know asking them when they get up. Any insights into the human brain and how it works on a basic level is probably a few million dollars though from the sounds of it this cost thousands of dollars at most. They needed volunteers, 1 researcher and a whistle. If the researcher could whistle he could probably have done without the whistle though.
People confuse free market capitalism with no government interference capitalism.
The first one the dems completely agree with, even the NDP in Canada agree with. It means that the government exerts its power and control to create as much fair competition as possible creating a marketplace that is very efficient, using the best capitalism has to offer.
The second is people failing to understand capitalism and government interaction and assume free means free from government control. The far right sometimes mistakenly regards any form of government control over the market as socialism. If we actually allowed this to happen then the economy would collapse in weeks. The biggest company would buy all the others and then have near unlimited wealth, buy off all the politicians and run the country like a slave state all working without rest to create a giant pile of gold for our glorious CEO.
Same thing happens with the internet and if they don't get it for the economy they won't ever understand the principles on the internet.
As it is now this will just barricade against further fail on the internet. That said if this was never fixed we could see the internet mostly dead in 10 years. So it is a good thing but we still have to push for more.
An idea could be to allow the user to set his own QoS. And what I mean by that is to set on the router different ports to have different priorities. I could put torrents on a port with tons of bandwidth and a huge ping. Or games on one with low ping and low throughput. IANANS
Stop has always just meant pause or at most pause and go back. I think the last time I was something different than that would be.... VHS? Pause resulted in ugly lines. So... unless iPod was released in the early 90s I really think you are giving credit for no reason.
I assume it would be a button on the edge of the earbud or the cushion of the headphone that gets indented when you are wearing them. Seems simple enough to me.
If you don't care about african's then.... For the low cost of not semi-avenging 438 lives you could buy everyone in the US an ak47 and 1000 rounds. That way you could likely kill any invader with the sheer mass of lead. If you want to go all out buy everyone two guns so you can fight like scarface, give em 10000 rounds and two grenades.
Honestly I don't think you are realizing the amount of money that has been squandered on this endeavor.
Or something that may be more right wing I care more about killing brown people than saving black people style. You could have Nuclear Carpet bombed Afghanistan with 10,000 nuclear bombs (Estimated 100M each... not smart bombs... would need to pay for fuel and pilots.). Admittedly that would have only covered 12% of the country but I'm sure you'd kill most of the brown people at that point and all the arable land. If you wanted you could not build them all from scratch use some that you already have, and use nuclear reactor waste. I bet you could easily cover over 50% of the country with nuclear explosions. Comes with the advantage of no terrorists ever fucking with you again.
I really really don't think you realize how poorly that money has been spent. Or how disgusting it is that you would prefer to see 1 man dead than hundreds of thousands alive for a fraction the cost.
Friday: School got 1 or 2 emails from students
Saturday: Google got email from School. They sent an email to all 200students asking who was affected
Sunday: I only assume they we waiting on replies.
Mon: Ditto.. Prolly working out what it is.
Tuesday: Problem fixed early in the morning. Only 22 accounts were affected. Of those accounts they couldn't see everyone's email, all of some accounts or just a few emails that weren't theirs.
If this weren't a free service I'd definitely raise hell, I don't think I'd sue. Since it is free and happened over the weekend. And on a new service during a data migration... I don't think it is a horrible problem. Also its a uni email not professional or personal. If those schools are anything like mine the only thing you get in them are fliers and profs responding to questions.
If there is a painted crosswalk you are expected to treat it like most people treat stopsigns... rolling stop. The law is that you have to be able to come to a safe stop. Now if you have eye contact with the pedestrian things might be a little different. If he is stopped waiting at the crosswalk that is different. But if someone is walking towards the walk and you dont slow down and he makes it to the cross a reasonable amount of time before you then it is your problem. You should be watching. Basically assume that pedestrians don't have brakes and have infinite right of way and you'll be ok. Pedestrians are at fault if they speed up to make it in front of you or stop and go. If they put a crosswalk in the middle of a busy street instead of a light or have one with no visibility it is the city sucking. In the case of a blind alley or some such you should really drive assuming someone will come out.
Why is the law so biased against cars? Tons of reasons. Cars are privileges, they are the ones causing the danger, walking doesn't take a license, drunks and children are expected to walk. And in the case of a collision the pedestrians already have a huge ass fucking incentive to not get hit, cars don't.
You use the words 'take some responsibility'... they are.... they are responsible for their own lives. I assume you meant use caution. And that is perfectly valid. If some pedestrian was bitching that he keeps getting hit by cars while wearing headphones and skateboarding with his eyes closed i'd call him a fucking idiot.
I bet this gets tons of false positives. I mean... If they did one for detecting girls I know a guy named alex that has a pic of him in a dress on facebook...
People shoot bows and arrows, but not because it's a way to survive like it used to be.
Mayhaps for ye eorls. Accvrsed noble class! Trvly words befitting King John: "Why don't they just ask their chef to bring them some food?" Thov art bvt a Chvrl!
In translation... General relativity is a backbone that we have been bandaging for decades. If we were given a chance to start over we wouldnt go the same way. I believe we've all seen coding projects by big companies like that.... 'Oh God why are they using 15languages they dont even have the source code for some of this... is that BASICS??'
I can see the possibility, while i'm not well read in the subject you do see it happen in all kinds of other places, it is only natural.
Funds?... 9/11 deaths totaled 2700... We've spent around a trillion dollars on the war. Working out to 370Million dollar per person avenged?... sort of I mean we didn't get the bad guy or anything but we ruined his lifestyle. I bet if you think hard you can think of a way to SAVE lives at LESS than 370M dollars each, even better than annoying the murder. Hell, you might even be able to save a few people for that. In fact you could virtually end malaria worldwide for the cost of two semi-avenged lives.
How often do you think blind people will get killed by drivers running red lights that are in electric cars because they are more difficult to hear. Only a certain % of ppl get hit each year, a chunk of those people are blind, some of those are hit by electric cars, some are because of ppl running red lights, and very few would be avoided by adding a car noise.
That works out to a pretty damn small number, maybe 1 in the next 10 years? Chances are the blind guy wont die and the asshole driver will get sued for a million bucks.
This is a risk I'm willing to take to have technology move forward and DRASTICALLY reduce noise pollution in the city.
"hit the anchors and come to a dead stop in twenty feet just because some asshole saunterd out into the road because "the law" says he's allowed is absolutely ridiculous."
Uhhh if he's not jaywalking and reached the corner first and you are at a distance where it is safe for you to stop then yeah.... You really should stop... If you are driving at a speed through an intersection where you are unable to stop if something comes out then you are a danger and will hopefully have your license taken before you kill anyone.
People crossing at the crosswalk aren't idiots. The right of way is NOT determined by who dies or everyone would be driving tanks and walking anywhere would be completely impossible. Main st in my town is a 60zone with lots of cars, the way you are talking you sound like you'd be happy splitting the city into essentially little islands.
That is kind of silly, this kill switch seems to be for malware. So why not instead of encrypting your stuff couldn't it just delete everything? Or do a large variety of other things... What you are basically saying is this:
Oh no if MS remotely deletes viruses it finds on my computer and the virus first encrypted everything then I could never get it back!

That is the business version not the school one which is free.

True enough but when it comes to blackmail the telecoms are at the top followed by financial companies and health insurance.

I doubt they'll criminalize regular headphones. I also doubt they'll catch on or gain a significant market share.

They aren't paying anything for it. If someone gives you a car I doubt you'd sue them if the electric windows stopped working.
