For the Millennials among you, no that's not what websites looked like in the 1990s.
There were plenty that looked just like this. As soon as the page came up I laughed in recognition.
Try Philip Greenspun's website [greenspun.com] for an inkling of what a functional site looked like in the 1990s.
Yes, there were plenty of single-guy-hobbyist sites that looked like that. But websites promoting a movie or music or was trying to be hip... any site that was pulling out all the stops... would not have looked anything like Philip Greenspun's website.
It actually propels [itself] using bubbles in a reaction of magnesium with biological fluids
If instead of magnesium it used a sodium reaction it would propel itself much faster, and at the same time would provide a dramatic cure for constipation.
In some ways Keys was an American archetype. His overriding concern seems to have been to build up his reputation, glorify himself, and belittle anyone who dared to disagree with him.
At some point we will have AI so complicated that we may begin wonder if it is actually intelligent.
I don't think Alexa is intelligent, but that doesn't stop both my wife and me from telling her (oops....) "Thank you" after she's told us today's weather.
You mean I can't install something from the "app store" and run it?
It's actually easier to do that on Linux.
It's easy (but not "easier") IF the app you want happens to be cataloged in the software manager, and IF the latest release happens to be available there. Even so, upgrading can still be a hassle.
And don't expect much success convincing users to go to a shell and type apt-get commands.
Yes! In those old movies the mood is calmer and more relaxing, without the "in your face" attitude that most modern movies come with. Stylistically, there are more long takes, which I enjoy. The modern style is lots of quick cuts, so the director can force you to look at what he/she wants you to! It's exhausting and annoying...
I've also subscribed to Filmstruck, which has a well chosen selection of old and foreign movies that are difficult or impossible to find.
So, you're in the.00000000000000000000000000000001 percent of Android users that have gotten mire than an updated or two.
Rubbish. My Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (last of the line with a replaceable battery!) was originally released in late 2014. It still regularly receives updates.
That's exactly right, corporations do not like losing money. So, it will be a cold calculation of how many dollars it saves not to have a crash
Corporations don't "like" anything... they're not people. (This isn't Mitt Romney posting, is it?)
The ones making the decisions of how much to spend on security have their own self-interest at heart. So...
1. CEO cuts spending on safety 2. Short term profit rises 3. Stock skyrockets 4. CEO is hailed as turn around specialist 5. CEO retires, pocketing millions 6. Because of deferred maintenance (see #1), planes have more accidents 7. CEO, basking in retirement, sees start of televised report about plane crashes. Lifts remote. Changes channel.
Engineering... those are roles that don't lend themselves very well to remote work.
Ha... what a laugh. I do plenty of engineering from home and it works out just fine.
Now I don't do all my engineering from home, in fact I'm in the office more than half the time. Ideally I'd like to bring that down to 2-3 days max a week, but for now it's 3.5 days in the office per week. There are times when you need to get several people together to discuss things, and it's always easier if you're at the same table and waving your arms at the same whiteboard. And there are also a lot of conversations you end up having in passing that just wouldn't happen if you were at home. (Of course this goes either way... some of the conversations are worth having, either for you or the other party, while others are a waste of time.)
So, like most things in life... you've gotta get the balance right.
It's even sillier complaining about this on a phone with an SD card slot. I for one will be buying the smallest version available because unlike other manufactures this one doesn't limit my storage.
SD card memory is handy for storing photos, videos and movies, but not so good (typically it's useless) for installing programs.
Perhaps, but with this system you wouldn't need even a mediocre surgeon... they could just put ANYONE behind the controls and let the robot do its thing. The operator could be a minimum wage employee, or perhaps a member of the janitorial staff.
LMOL umm no you don't choose the music. The music is selected for you...jackass.
Funny, I thought I remembered searching for a song this morning and playing it on Spotify this morning... guess I didn't realize I was really living in your universe.
The fact that somebody is allowed (part of the time) to 'choose' which recordings of music (out of a catalog of the recordings that are made available) isn't that freeing.
Compared to having to listen to what the DJ is paid to pay?
Compared to the limited selection of what I can afford to buy?
Sure it is.
Maybe you need to upgrade from the "free" tier of you music service.
Slashdot Mirror
wireless earphones (and Apple's Airpods in particular) are a runaway success and consumers rate these products with high levels of satisfaction
Sure they rate them highly ... until the battery starts dying. That's the whole point of the article.
You might try using pushup bars - they make it much easier on your wrists.

True! Only Americans are like that.

"Sorry, squire! I scratched the record!"
A few years ago there was a contest to see which robot could shoot the most balls into a target in a given amount of time.
The winning robot simply covered up its opponents target, then leisurely put one shot into its own.
They were forced to give the prize to the "cheating" robot since it had fulfilled the letter of the victory condition.
I did a quick search and couldn't find a reference to the article, sorry!
Well, the 486-DX33 had a power dissipation of 2.5 Watts, which is a lot to radiate off something smaller than a grain of salt.
Not to mention the fact that this sucker probably only has a VGA connector.
Hear, hear!

Do what I do and watch old b/w movies on youtube
Yes! In those old movies the mood is calmer and more relaxing, without the "in your face" attitude that most modern movies come with. Stylistically, there are more long takes, which I enjoy. The modern style is lots of quick cuts, so the director can force you to look at what he/she wants you to! It's exhausting and annoying ...

Reminded me of the Volkswagen ad from 1974: 1949 Auto Show
It's even sillier complaining about this on a phone with an SD card slot. I for one will be buying the smallest version available because unlike other manufactures this one doesn't limit my storage.

Can't you see the advantage of this?
LMOL umm no you don't choose the music. The music is selected for you...jackass.
Funny, I thought I remembered searching for a song this morning and playing it on Spotify this morning ... guess I didn't realize I was really living in your universe.
whats the difference between streaming music over a wireless connection versus listening to an AM/FM station over an analog tuner?
If listening to Spotify you get to choose the music. If listening to radio station the DJ picks it.
Only until January 20. After that companies will be permitted to waterboard vocally unhappy customers.
The fact that somebody is allowed (part of the time) to 'choose' which recordings of music (out of a catalog of the recordings that are made available) isn't that freeing.
Compared to having to listen to what the DJ is paid to pay?
Compared to the limited selection of what I can afford to buy?

Stop the future, I want to get off.
Is it time to dump time zones in favor of Coordinated Universal Time?
No.
So it's clear the guys' intentions are suspect here.
And from TFA:
Samsung asked Klering if they could take possession of the phone and he said no
Nice of him to want to help solve the problem by letting them examine the phone to try and find the cause.
