You can't post from the iPhone anymore. Mobile Slashdot on safari is horribly broken. At least for me I can't log in or post once I do login. I switch to classic.Slashdot and everything works as normal. Switch back to mobile and it breaks. I don't know why they can't test it. It is not like you can extend mobile safari.

Netflix offered to give comcast the hardware required to upgrade their network though. Being Free wasn't enough for Comcast Comcast not only demanded free equipment but to be paid for the privilege of allowing the free equipment to be installed.

Netflix has given other ISP's the hardware. why is Comcast special enough to be paid for what other were given for free?

You should try under a rock. after all we solve most of our problems by picking up a rock ash smashing the opposing viewpoint in the head with it.

nope Access Database.

now which is scarier?

I can see lights and heat/cold being attached but if you need a reminder text when your oven has reached temperature then you really shouldn't be cooking.

The problem with these systems is simple. you can't easily combine them into one. If a standard came out that was consistent it would jump forward until that time each system bounces around until you can't get products for it any more 5 years later.

GE used to make a low voltage switching system for homes. the only thing still sold is the control relay's and switches. each of those are very very expensive.

um what open solutions? I have yet to see an in home system that wasn't locked down hard and that even if they use open protocols which is rare are still not compatible with each other.

Yes but yours isn't being done with a computer that makes worthy of a dozen new patents alone. You can make it two dozen if you replace computer with mobile device and resubmit.

3D printing will need to get to a higher quality before home users will get involved. Much higher resolution in the pieces. Maybe a variable print head so that material can be made smaller or larger as needed.

What gets me is if the tech is small enough to go into a tablet. Then it is small enough for a drone. Add in a laser range finder and you could scan and map a house quickly. Military would like that. However remodeling homes and businesses would love it. Tie the output into the unreal engine and you could redesign and then walk through a home remodel.

Nothing of real value will be lost. Both states contribute to aiding and abetting politicians (as most of them keep second and third homes in those states.)

I like one of those other suggestions get one of the games that respond to brain wave levels. Set it up as yes or no. Then get a board with different words and conditions on it. So I feel and point out the words(pain, happy, want to get drunk). And an outline of a body. So you can quickly make sentences with just a handful of yes no replies.

Possible but I think this Ducks cross the Arctic. shows that the researcher is a moron. This has been happening for years.

that's just it the surface pro is not something you want a lineman or warehouse worker using. it costs almost the same as tough book, but will break easily.

While I can see some use cases for tablets in warehousing, in general it just isn't needed. the surface pro is for salesman and managers who might need to type up an email while on the go.

As for MSDS that entire industry needs a severe overhaul. every SDS that I have seen has the information on it but sharing that information is like pulling teeth through goat.cx's arse. multiple incompatible file formats, sharing of files is at best painful. There is no reason why in today's connected world why I can't get real time msd sheets for which ever truck is on the road for misc. company. It should be mostly automated to the point of stupidity. yet it isn't even close to happening.

Nuke the site from orbit. It is the only way to be sure.

pipeline's leak lead to bigger spills.

Every drop of oil that goes through the keystone pipeline will be refined and then shipped to Europe. The companies behind the pipeline have stated as much.

The overall effect on of the pipeline is something like .05% of the world's demand. it isn't but a drop in the bucket.

Smart people would drain the oil away from the middle east first and save the Canadian oil for when things get bad in 50 years.

The CIA gets windows for free. After all they know where Ballmer hides the chairs
