Why not? So it takes a while. So what?

It's almost impossible to think of anything that will create a $140 billion business out of nothing."
Lol. Just waiting on the tech. These will all be many-billion dollar businesses: fully immersive 3D entertainment; electric cars; household robots; sex robots; space habitats; real 3D printers (by which I mean they'll be able to print electronics, mechanicals, hydraulics and so on -- able to print any item you can provide the raw materials for. The "3D printers" we have today aren't good for much yet.)
As to what you could do today and have a chance to meet that metric... all I know is it isn't going to be an iWatch class device.
Of course if we were collectively smart we would have "Manhattan project-ed" solar, solar storage, and the means to pass massive amounts of energy around long before now at a similar level, and we'd already be off the middle eastern tit.... but of course that means the big oil cronyism in congress would have to be reined in, and that isn't happening.
and only passes PCIe or video.
Oh noes, it only passes video or a really fast bus that can be bridged to PCI with a cheap chip, how useless
At the time I don't think that parsing metadata was feasible with out having to sit there and wait until it finished.
Doesn't Rockbox manage this? (research, research) yes, yes it does. First-gen iPod with Rockbox firmware, you connect it in mass storage mode and stuff your files on it and it does the right thing. So yes, yes it was feasible, and Apple was either incompetent or chose deliberate lock-in. You take your pick, I don't think we've got a false dichotomy here given that the hardware can definitely do the job.
A more interesting subject... when you're playing a single player RPG do you ever care what your name is?
Yes. If I'm playing a game which doesn't suck, I try give my character a good name.
If I'm playing a game which sucks, I still name my characters rude things. Got to get your chuckles somewhere. Lunar was made better by seeing "biatch, be strong"
Yeah, multiplayer Monster Truck Madness was the best driving game I ever played. One of the few great MS products.
Let us not forget Freelancer. If ever a game deserved a sequel with expanded gameplay, that was one of them.
There is a reason when I go Android, I go Nexus.
I got a Nexus 4, even though it was made by LG. Regret it now, since the digitizer and radio failed. Don't believe the hype. Nexus means fuck-all.
Hate all you want, but there's no denying the fact that the iPhone was the most revolutionary mobile phone there's ever been.
Except everything the iPhone did was done by someone else first, right down to slide to unlock. What the iPhone did was combine all these good ideas, resulting in one successful product. That's why it's evolutionary, not revolutionary.
Sadly, it all ended in 2011. Look at phones. They're all the same as 2011 iPhone was just with 2015 cpu/graphic, 2015 screen brightness/contrast, 2015 CMOS camera sensors.
Yeah, unless you buy a cheapie like a Moto G, then all that stuff is from 2014. (Does come with new gorilla glass, though...)
If you don't think that syncing from iTunes is a better UX than manually managing files then you're nuts.
Being forced to sync from iTunes is not a better UX than being able to manually manage files. You can still use tools to manage the music on media players which don't require you to use custom software. Many such tools exist, including FOSS offerings like Banshee and Rhythmbox.
Looks like we've found the "Dick of the Week."
Now that you've found it, you can put it down, and back away.
This is less about ushering in accountability from UBER than it is about squeezing UBER for every penny she can. It saddens me that a fellow Indian would resort to this.
It saddens me that your government is so useless that she has nowhere else to turn. If she accuses her attacker at home, what happens to her?
Yes, I know I can use a boot manager to boot from multiple partitions on boot media. But you can't boot Windows from USB media.
You can boot Windows 7 and later from USB media, after some twiddling.
I used to have a car with a back seat truly the size of a sofa, a 1960 Dodge Phoenix (2dr dart... before they shrunk it). But alas, although I actually was having sex regularly, the car had no working parking brake so I couldn't do it in the car. Haven't had a vehicle with a big enough back seat to get my freak on since. I may never lose that purity point.
Martin has something like two or three times as many plots going on, and he must spend have his time keeping the plotting straight.
Apparently a lot of writers have Wikis now, if he doesn't have an equivalent he's only fooling himself.
I imagine actually drawing the conflict out from early to late on a whiteboard if I were trying to construct a work of any kind of scope, so I could simply look up and see it any old time, taking pictures as I meddled with it so I could see where I'd been.
The Tao is like a glob pattern: used but never used up. It is like the extern void: filled with infinite possibilities.
