I did have one user with a skype issue. I had her reinstall skype and it was fine. I'm not sure what broke it.

I came to say that it would have been much more interesting if they were sniffing the data between the watch and phone, which would mean they were capturing bluetooth data (having larger implications).

I'm not quite should how they're seeing files on the watch, so that might be interesting on it's own.

When you buy toilet paper how do you get it home? Clearly he's implying he just went shopping.

Yea that 's what I don't get about the Creationists. Evolution is observable and happens, period. If you want to believe that God causes evolution or that evolution is part of God's plan... then fine, but why the hell do they decide to argue that evolution is a lie?

Same thing with the big bang. It makes me want to say "Creationists are retards", even though I'm smart enough to know that saying that isn't productive. It's infuriating.

That doesn't sound like it bans OSS. It sounds like "if you decide to use MS Office you can't demand that MS give you access to source code" which is different than saying "you can't use programs if you have access to the source code".

1. How is that supposed to work if no one knows about it?
I assume that the companies doing business would be "business as usual", and the country's governments being bullied by the agreement just wouldn't be able to say they want their citizens' data store within borders. Which sounds ok for me, being in the US, but sounds pretty shitty for them...but that sounds like "business as usual" from what I hear.

2. Congress should always be barred from adding amendments that have nothing to do with the bill. Something related I'm good with, but an amendment to spend money studying ducks in Arkansas on a bill to build a bridge in Massachusetts is bologna.

The pessimist in me says "That's ok. MS has plent of time to screw it up before release."

The realist in me says "You paid too much for the Windows laptop."

Isn't the Apple motto "It just works"? Not it works well, or quickly.

The optimist in me is still sleeping.

Getting more customers. In business they call it "the cost of acquisition of a customer".

But that's not what I came here to say. I came to say that I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand I use ad block on my computers. I don't generally on my phone, but I also don't browse from my phone often. And I like the idea of blocking ads so they don't consume my data allowance.

On the other hand I don't like my ISP filtering through my content. There's nothing to stop them from playing MITM (looking at you Verizon).

I was just being a wise-ass, but that is a good argument.

Then I would point out how we produce that food. Cattle standing shoulder to shoulder and pigs in cages, round-up ready corn, then all of that trucked around. Shipments of peaches from Chile in the off season (don't get me wrong - I like that part).

Honestly, I think our highway rush hour every car has 1 person and we're all going under 10 miles an hour bullshit has more to do with it.

I'd bring up the Pong tournament at the local pizza parlor...but I'm too young for that.

They keep arguing about what causes high CO2 levels. Let me clear it up.

The world population is larger than it's ever been, and only projected to rise. People exhale CO2. The problem isn't man-made, the problem IS man.

Improving motion tracking, and stereoscopy: those are technical problems that we can deal with.

Improve the substance of modern games and movies: that's a more complicated problem.

The idea of VR is still iffy for me personally. I play mostly FPS games right now. For me I can see VR being used as a monitor (which might give privacy, but not much else). I would still need a mouse to "look around". I can't use my head to look around because I'd loose the keyboard if I turned around. And I'd choke out if I turned right a few times (if you follow where I'm going with that).

So I think it might be alright for a rollercoaster sim, where looking at it on a monitor vs looking at it with VR goggles isn't totally different. Though I do understand that you can have each eye independent so it might actually "feel" different - and that's where "it needs to be applied correctly" comes into play.

I think virtual desk kind of applications are interesting.

Driving games are where head tracking might be awesome. Because the keyboard and mouse are gas/break and steering, so you are totally free to look around and give the evil eye to that guy passing you.

You're a scary individual, but I like the way you think.
