This is what I've seen. What US content is left? All netflix suggests these days are crappy foreign shows movies. I have enjoyed some of them, but it seems they are really scrapping the bottom of the barrel. Makes me wonder what they are using the recent price increase for, since it doesn't seem like they are making anything decent these days.
I was sad to see google music go, but there is so much space on my phone now I just keep a copy of my music collection there now. I set a a sync on andorid with SMBSync2, so I can keep it automatically updated. While I was at it I also set up a sync to back up pictures, since its always nice to have a backup of that.
Decided on foobar2000 for a media player on android after trying a few. seemed the closest to what I wanted. ability to play albums in a nice organized way, or shuffle when you dont care.
Wasn't this the argument apple made for the first iphone not having apps, that they aren't needed since you can use a web app. seems like that direction changed quick...
Now the twitchy cops will just be ready with their already drawn, while the robot pulls open the door... what could go wrong...
I'm sure that works until something goes wrong with the automation and there's nobody left who understands how it works. I've automated plenty of my daily job, but when anything doesn't happen that should...nobody else will even attempt to figure it out, even though I do have these processes documented. Because I wrote the processes, i can usually figure out where to look and what the problem may be fairly fast, where someone else would have to figure it out.
How about...
- remotely allowing changes to the license plate, say your car is stolen or your registrations expired... it could change visually so your vehicle is more visible to police (yay?)
- disabling the plate visually when its not in use. maybe good for rental places or again for stolen cars.
- make it so instead of the license plate following the car it follows the person driving. not sure this has any benefit, but registration could behave more like a license... you get it the car and the tag changes to your specific registration, with all your history and your responsibility. the driver would be able to be identified without even pulling you over, even in a different car you don't own. For something like this to work everyone's biometrics would probably need to be collected...for you know, safesy...and to start your car...hahaha
Colonel Sandurz: Try here. Stop.
Dark Helmet: What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie?
Colonel Sandurz: Now. You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now.
Dark Helmet: What happened to then?
Colonel Sandurz: We passed then.
Dark Helmet: When?
Colonel Sandurz: Just now. We're at now now.
Dark Helmet: Go back to then.
Colonel Sandurz: When?
Dark Helmet: Now.
Colonel Sandurz: Now?
Dark Helmet: Now.
Colonel Sandurz: I can't.
Dark Helmet: Why?
Colonel Sandurz: We missed it.
Dark Helmet: When?
Colonel Sandurz: Just now.
Dark Helmet: When will then be now?
Colonel Sandurz: Soon.
Dark Helmet: How soon?
I agree. KML support is lacking in this. I have some huge kmz files (like this one https://live.wifidb.net/wifidb... ) and files with a lot of network links (like this one https://live.wifidb.net/wifidb... ) and neither of them work in this (the large file somewhat works). Its almost as bad as the mobile version of google earth. I'd love to see a 64bit version of the old desktop client...this new web version is junk
>Yes, but you said they stopped making them. Clearly not the case
I said they pretty much stopped making them, not that they all stopped making them. The searches I did with your examples support this. 16x10 monitor choices are slim unless you want to pay out the ass or stick with a 24in minitor.
>I'm gonna call bullshit on that one, unless you can point to an example?
Maybe I was a bit overzealous will sub $200. How about sub $300... I had in mind a hanns g monitor a friend of mine had purchased. This is actually a 28in 16x10 monitor. The lowest price I was able to find on newegg through the way back machine was $299, but i know i've seen it for less. https://web.archive.org/web/20...
One thing was clear searching the way back machine... there were a hell of a lot more 16:10 monitors in 2009. It seemed like in 2010 everyone started moving to 16:9.
The best book on programming for the layman is "Alice in Wonderland"; but that's because it's the best book on anything for the layman.
