fined me anyhow for "anything you might have done in my county".
I hope you got that in writing, that could prove to be an invaluable defence later.
Also, it would have been great to be able to send a copy to the local news, you might have been able to cost him his position.
Unlimited data (up to 5GB at 4G)
Run that by me again?
An application should not ask you whether "you really want to quit" you already told it that - instead it should make sure that when you quit nothing bad happens. If you were working on a document but didn't save that yet - then just keep the working copy when the program is closed. Don't overwrite what's in the saved copy and don't throw it away - just restore it when the application is opened again, and suddenly quitting word processor is no longer dangerous. When quitting a music or video player it should remember what you were playing and come back to that when the application is started again. A video player should keep the position basically for every movie it has been playing, so if you come back to it later you can continue to watch from the same position, even if you have watched something else in between.
This will just add further bloat.You want applications to start instantly, but you want them to load even more information at startup and save even more at every shutdown. Just ask the user if they want to continue later, or remind them that they need to save. Should my media player really need to automatically remember that I closed every episode of my favorite tv show just before the credits began?
the current LTE chipsets suck.
This. I have the Verizon LG Revolution. Need to reboot (which uses typically 1/8th of my battery!) just to flip 4G off and on. 4G on = maybe 3/4 of a day of battery. 4G off = at least 2 days of battery.
that ignited starting fluid (diethyl ether) that was on the air filter
And what did we learn here? Read the directions on the starting fluid and remove the air filter before using it!
For starters it will allow you to host a bunch of services on different machines without having to put them all on weird ass ports because you only have a single ip. Peer to peer software will work as intended without nasty hacks to poke holes through the nat.
Well, on my home network, I'd want everything from the outside firewalled unless I initiated the connection. (Kinda like what NAT does). How will peer2peer software work in this case? By punching holes in the firewall using nasty hacks? Serious question.
A computer scientist is someone who fixes things that aren't broken.
