last Christmas.

It's similiarly specced to the HP. Something like this:

To be honest, it kinda sucks compared to an iPad but makes for good presents. What makes it suck is android more than the hardware, tbh. Android and software bloat by the manufacturer. HP won't be any different going by past computer purchases.

My complaint is always the lack of vertical resolution. At least for a working monitor. 1440 is little better than most of the monitors outtoday but very little in proportion to its horizontal resolution.

As a TV display, I'd be hesitant to buy nonstandard resolutions as current HDMI has a bandwidth problem with 4k at a decent frame rate let alone finding media for it. I've seen 4K resolution playing 4K media. It's very beautiful but it also suffers from the industry or whoever announcing 8k already, so I'm in wait mode if economical models ever come along.

Until then, 1080p is good enough for TV and I'll find something not quite so wide for computers.

Unimpressive specs. 864x480 resolution. 75 lumens.

Yeah, I'm going to wait a few years before getting one of it's descendants.

Especially when you consider the price and specs for this:

Or something like it. Because the brix is just a toy right now.

Gotta love all the surcharges. Especially the ones that the company says the government tells them they can charge (but doesn't have to).

Only data-based landline I have is internet. Don't care how many worthless bundles they throw at me.

Stop making those stupid low margin shaving handles and FOCUS SOLELY on cartridges!!!!

Cover the items you want to protect in duct tape. The shitty looking silver kind. Or a bunch of stupid stickers from a dollar store.

Obviously doesn't work for TVs but awesome for boxes where you only need to see a small portion of its face.

People are visual creatures and thieves operate fast. They're trying for low hanging fruit and aren't going to appraise every piece carefully.

None of which I am in position or inclination to refute, seeing how we can't program the hardware we make ourselves all that great...

Blu-rays biggest failure was not to have a backwards compatible dvd layer. Nothing worse than going to a friend's house and find out he doesn't have the right player. Or Grandma not being able to play the fucking disc she rented (regioning is a joy too, yo). They should have made the transition seamless.... but instead got hardons thinking people give a shit about their propietary formats.

Of course I'm saying it will make a glut in low level script writers.

Just like a thousand real bootcamps would create a glut of grunts during peacetime but not impact the market for generals.

I agree with that statement, but how do bootcamps not inspire that?

Mostly because the time involve (8-12 weeks) means that they will push a ton of hours and a lot of milestones. They'll have a lot of assignments to grade the student on. It's going to be very structured.

It's like cramming for the SATs or something. Someone can do it and score highly, but do they truly learn much from the exercise?

Play/Experimentation for the beginner has to be unstructured in a fashion. Without pressing time constraints or milestones. Like kids on a playground.

I remember learning C from C in 21 Days. I did all the assignments but I truly never played with the language until that was well behind me. At that point, I was making timid tests with my foot in the waters of the language to see how the ripples react, not diving in.

All I'm saying is they are taking a Ruby in 21 days course or what not and paying way too much for it.

1. Programming can't be learned in a few weeks. You need the freedom to play with it. To experiment. Boot Camp doesn't exactly inspire that.

I do believe you can be marketable within a year though.

2. This is about selling papers, certs. Just like colleges are most just about selling diplomas now.

3. What you learn there, you can learn online, for free.

Of course, you won't learn collaboration and all that (except on soureforge or someplace) but not really at a bootcamp either. That's what a job is for.

4. Pumping these students out suggests there will be soon a glut in the market. There is only so much software needed in the world. Other than games, there isn't the same demand for big, constant changes (maintenance and adhering to law changes notwithstanding) in all markets. Not that a bootcamp gives one the experience to touch old/big/production systems anyway.

5. This will end badly.

Then I'm not interested. Seriously, chrome has gotten me way to lazy in this regard. And FF has frustrated me on this since (and yes, I know there is an add-on).

WTF are they digging this up for?

No, that doesn't make sense. Because you are saying that New Jersey cannot regulate sales of cars in their own state because of where they are made.

Or did the longstanding rules (much older than NJ rules) in several of these states become unconstitutional because they apply to Tesla where before they only applied to Detroit/Japan/etc?

From an amateur understanding, interstate commerce as originally meant in the constitution meant that states couldn't stop traffic, i.e. Virginia couldn't stop commerce traffic intended for Maryland from North Carolina by instituting a tax or some such aimed soley at these merchants. Exactly how it sound, interstate commerce, between states.

Now, interstate commerce has been twisted in past decades to mean some really weird shit, which is how the feds control drugs that can be grown in one state and will never necessarily leave it....

But I don't see how a state saying how things must be sold in itself is interfering in interstate commerce. That's solely intrastate commerce. It's not a law targeted at soley out of state manufacturers by design (even if that ends up being the case) and it applicable to all makers.

Let be clear that I don't support the law, but this reading of the constition is strange and what allows the Feds to overstep all bounds.
