And I can say that I've only had to restart the phone only once every couple months. Part of it is because I know how to kill an offending app on the phone.

I also have a Kind Fire HD6. That pretty much works the same way as the phone as it runs a later version of Android.

This isn't a slam to all the Apple fanboys and fangirls - its just that Apple perpetuates this myth that it just works. When that is far from the truth.

Prices on solar have been dropping like the proverbial rock - and the panels are getting more and more efficient as time goes on.

When I buy a place I intend to sever the electric connection, generate my own power via solar and wind, and store what I don't use in a storage array. Problem solved and no need for the grid.

You can get a DELL XPS 13 with Ubuntu on it for about $1K. Good machine, ssd, the whole nine.

In my case I have FIrefox, Chrome and IE in fairly regular usage. Firefox for RSS under Sage, IE for access to OWA, and Chrome for everything else.

Are in for the most part horrible shape in my city. You'd take your life into your own hands riding a bike on them. I suppose when the weather gets nicer I could ride my bike to the train station. I need to fix the flat tire on it first though.

Is that yes - we should at the very least teach differing number systems such as base 8, base 16 and so on and also teach simple logic constructs those being and, or, nor, not, etc.

Told me that they'd brought in well over a dozen candidates to interview. Now I'm not all of that but the fact I beat out a dozen other so called Senior Linux engineers astounds me to some degree.

It is that programming a computer requires advanced mathematical study. It doesn't. So long as you get through say 1 semester of Algebra 1 and know different base numbering systems like 8, 16 etc. you can program a computer.

Conditionals are one thing they'd have to learn and so too branching etc. But those are simple concepts that even a kid can pick up.

So in essence the guy bacteria determine obesity levels. Perhaps they are too efficient at extracting nutrient.

Verizon raped it's customer base pretty badly on the wireline side. And I do mean raped. You see back when they were all Ma Bell and a regulated monopoly partof the revenue had to be put back into upgrading OSP. Except once the regulatory clamps were released - they stopped doing that. In fact that is common among telecom, electric and natural gas providers who got deregulated too.

Public utilities should NEVER be unregulated.

No training involved. If you've ever seen an AED it's got the instructions printed right on it, with pictorials and everything. I note they're pretty much everywhere these days, even in office and public spaces.

Now the thing about AED's that interests me is who is going to put the pads on you and activate the machine? The whole bystander effect and all.

the Mooninite thing in Boston several years ago. I see that people and cops haven't evolved since then and still regularly report items that are normal as suspicious and the cops dutifully rush in and blow them up.

Carly Fiorina wasn't exactly the best thing for HP. Right down to the fact HP is just a computer company now. They spun off the test gear division to Agilent. Oh and I think they still make printers.

They're going to discourage boys from the programs? I smell a Title IX lawsuit coming on this one.

In addition to which in Europe the last mile is owned by one company while the backbones are owned by multiples. Plus regulation is pretty heavy too.
