Does anybody know whether or not the previous pixel watch, or this new pixel watch is compatible with accessories such as the garmin hrm straps?

We dedicate resources to keeping the decendants of dinosaurs alive... In the same way that we should with the decendants of the dinosaurs that are 386, 486 and 586... But not the dinosaurs themselves

Dinosaurs are cool, but they died out a long time ago... We look at them in museums and let people who are dedicated to making them look good, make them look good. While the rest of us have a look from time to time, we dont actively dedicate resources to keeping dinosaurs alive.

386, 486 and even 586 are dinosaurs that we dont need to keep alive, and let them have their time in the museum now.

Im surprised i had to scroll down so far to find the first futurama reference...

"i want a telescope..." "is this big enough" "no you fool, i want it to cover a noticeable percentage of a desert..."... pretty fun way to spend money

Every single time any sort of media coverage comes up about a non-event (didnt affect real users, only affected organisations which delayed the installation of a critical update), fanboys leap on the opertunity to say how much better linux is.

Linux has its fair share of these, and runs on its fair share of critical infrastructure, and is run by its own fair share of idiots, but it is never really media worthy, because it isnt Windows and it isnt something the general public will relate to.

Give it a rest...

Regular rifles can permanently jam a radio signal to a drone too... If you hit it right... (in the receiver...)

A broken one?

Is this even possible long term? What would have happened if you stored all of your information on PATA drives 10 years ago, its rare to find a motherboard with PATA on it now, yes there are converters and 3rd party PCI cards, but those are eventually going to dry up too.

Now, say you choose SATA, what happens when M2 becomes the defacto standard? So, why dont you choose M2? What happens when M2 is phased out?

It is not just the file system and the data you need to think about, its the physical hardware too. With the rate things change in hardware, and connecting that hardware to other hardware, its unrealistic that you could expect to be able to use your current storage media in 10 years, let alone 20, 30 or 40 years.

What makes me feel like this is just some bullshit marketng post is, how do you sell 0.4 of a phone, or 0.9 of a phone... All of those "units sold" should be whole numbers.

On my very first job as a programmer, got given a "special task", which i jumped at with it being my first job and wanting to impress.

Ended up being a fax machine robo-dial app which had a list of over 2 million fax machine numbers, would cycle them all sending them a fax with our marketing information, and then loop back to the beginning and start again on the next piece of material. Would even switch the numbers it came from to disguise it was coming from the same place. Sent 2 million faxes every 3 days or so (using 90 outgoing lines).

Was initially an internal app, but the company was so impressed with what i came up with, they packaged it and started selling it as a product.

If you get robo-dialed faxes in the UK, its probably my fault...

Replace "the cloud" in everything written with "some virtual machine(s) somewhere within an amazon data centre in a specified location", otherwise known as, a virtual private server.

The cloud is a fancy sales word for a set of scripts that a VPS provider uses to make it easier to deploy to and manage their VPS system. Nothing more, there is no more risk in putting medical info on a "cloud" server than there is on any other internet facing server, not that all cloud servers are cloud facing.

For example, i have several azure mssql cloud instances, none are internet facing, but still afford the scaling that "cloud" services give.

Sounds like something that Code Kata were designed for.

Decent list of them can be found http://codingdojo.org/cgi-bin/...

"hmmn... havnt had any publicity in a while... i need a bit of attention... what do i do" ...

BINGO!
