To me, being on call means essentially spending the weekend at work. I spent 37.5 hours at work during an on call weekend three weeks ago. It's not unheard of for our guys to just bring a cot and camp out until called upon.
The Thinkpad W700ds had two displays, and that ugly behemoth is no longer sold. The market for two monitors on a laptop can't be that large. I mean, given the proliferation of shitty laptop displays (16:9, glossy screens, etc), it seems that not many people care about their displays in the first place. Just get an external LCD monitor and run dual displays with your laptop being one screen.
Sparkleshare is still under development, and it seems to have the most traction of any user-friendly project. When released, it will be the open-source Dropbox replacement.
I agree though, it's very hard to get rid of the convenience of Dropbox. Not just for saving files, but for syncing your configuration across machines (save your
And your evidence that the delay was not related to flight-related equipment showing irregular activy due to interference is?
Because I was curious and left my cellphone running even after the second announcement, and I made it safely to DFW.
I had always heard that the real reason they make you turn off electronic devices is so that you listen fully to any instructions you are given. Why else would they make me turn off my wi-fi only Kindle?
Maybe. I think that the "cellphone interference" is just a blanket term they use whenever anything goes wrong. When I was flying from PSP to DFW a few months ago, the flight attendants had already given the "turn off all electronic devices" thing followed by the safety brief, yet we still hadn't moved onto the runway. Instead of telling us what the hold up was, the flight attendant got on the intercom and said, "We would be on the runway right now, but somebody left their cell phone on and it's interfering with our signals." Lo and behold, about half the passengers pulled out their cell phones and turned them off. This was reverse psychology, shifting the blame to the passengers for the delay. Sad thing is, it worked.
Hello,
Normally, I would recommend Simple Mobile which is contract-free using the T-Mobile network. $60 will get you unlimited everything. Since you have an iPhone though, and 3G is a must, you are probably stuck using AT&T's 3G network. That probably means getting a SIM card and then paying $75/mo for a whopping 200MB on the Pay as you Go plan. But hey, at least you will get 4G.
Welcome to America.
I know I really do not understand the need to be using your smart phone that much. I see people sitting in hot tubes at my gym using them, and it's like do you really need to be connected so much you can't be away from your phone for 30 min?
I don't know what everybody else is doing, but I use my phone to keep track of my workout routine in between sets. I use the note-taking app on my Nokia to keep track of weights, sets, reps, exercises, etc. by day, and I can upload them to a spreadsheet when I get home.
Spoken like someone who has never owned a touch screen device.
A little bit of skin oil I can understand, but look at the keyboard in the second picture. Specifically, the trackpad and the spacebar/enter keys. You think that's normal?
If you ever wondered whatever happened to the kid who used to grease up the Nintendo controller every time you let him play, looks like he's reviewing Tablet devices at AndroidCentral.
Seriously, look at the photos of the screen and the keyboard trackpad. Did this guy just finish a bag of Frito Lays?
