Yeah, you're asking for a Pebble. They currently cost $100. It will be $50 in a couple of yrs.

But the OLED display is not always on on the AppleWatch. It's mostly off. It only turns on when you look at it.

I thought they would create a line of ice for lots of parallel processing (pickup), rather than a line of people for single ping processing (pickup)

Or maybe some predictive processing...hand out ice to people who look like they need it before they get in line. :P

could he not call it "art" and get out of these shenanigans? it is "art" after all.

or imagining a crime happening...or writing a novel about it...or drawing it...oh the horror

It was a word play. Like, we're going to moderate the drinking game. Not, we're going to drink in moderation. The former doesn't imply any limit to the drinking. The latter does.

Does it count if we have a friend moderate our drinking games? It's more fun and fair to drink in moderation. Otherwise the games go to shit.

Haha. Let it be known hence forth that Fwipp, poster of Slashdot comments, has posted a comment that was not complete in its message.

I like how you still want to post the lesser comments, but just not take credit for them! :P

I was with you until the last sentence on poverty. That's a small subset of the wider net you cast.

I read that in until the late 1800's in the USA, people didn't go to prison to serve time. They went there to await their trail and if found guilty, to await their punishment, such as hard labor or hanging. Jail time itself was not the punishment until the Eastern State Penitentiary was founded in the late 1800's with the Puritan notion of rehabilitation through time spent in isolation and introspection.

Moreso, the frequent and free OS upgrades that keep it modern and well integrated with other devices add considerable value. As does the fact that you don't need to buy virus protection, or to have said protection drain your system resources, particularly important as the system ages. And when you finally sell it, you get some real money. Macs in their base configs are good value. Although memory and storage upgrades are not.

Well, this is a weakness of all-in-one machines.

But, Macs hold their value well. You won't be throwing it away. You'll be selling it for a pretty substantial amount of $$ to offset your upgrade.

But you already did it!

Anyways, Apple products can be pricey, but if you want excellent quality and usability, nothing on the market offers the same value.

its so that co-workers don't sneak up behind you when you're working.

they want to make sure they land on time
