It was like having an argument with the wife where she's always bringing up stuff from last week.

I kind of miss the polish of solaris, however because of licensing uncertainty, openindiana would be the only option if I was to attempt using that again.

didn't the company that had a monopoly on making monopoly make the best implementation of monopoly?

Seems like talkjng about 5% then talking about the worst 10 may get many to only think the worst 10 are important. How many power plants is 5% seems to be a more important question.

A few of us got together to tackle this and after a couple of days to download 0.99.11 and printing out the readme, one of the first commands we ran was vi. We didn't know how to quit so we rebooted to solve that issue. I used that distro for years until the other ditros had stable packaging which wasnt until well into the 2000s. I had setup several servers for companies that ran single pieces of software for years without issues. But over time, requirements end up needing the bloat which mostly includes auto updates and infra automation. Slackware didn't keep up but I'm sure I learned dep hell and core userland of the Linux continent 10 times faster on slackware. It was a clean setup and a clear list of tasks to get where you wanted to go. The latter is not so popular anymore, but using slackware for so many years had an effect on my work ethic to turn ad-hoc procedures into a product. Thank-you Slackware.

good point, I look forward to seeing more test results in crowded situations.

There are ways to get multiple bits per period (or per hz if you like) with very old techniques like QAM. Some relationship with overlaying a period into a grid of points and the wave itself. Some nice reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... https://www.electronics-notes....

Yup ok I get the picture, I read the test number and and skipped to the part that a million were on order already and missed the other parts. Sorry for posting before coffee. Although the nastiness is like being hit by a car.

While its great news I always thought larger tests were done for these types of things. What am I missing?

Before the drop shippers polute the site like they've done with amazon and ebay.

Most likely 3rd party fixer pro shops may have complained but still got it done where it was most likely changed because certified geniuses were hosing units most often.

Tinfoil hats make monitoring easier, it works like a satellite dish. Better to get a full body tinfoil suit to walk around so no one will try to know what you're thinking. Hope this helps. Cheers.

When people are grouped into a small team with a simple hierarchy then interpersonal problems start to dissappear and the team effort becomes more important. In addition the team itself gains a group experience that grows and keeps growing if the team spirit stays alive even if one member changes once in awhile. Unfortunately this would require the right software, ide, shared screens etc... and at least a couple of years to grow. It should be more like bridge programming (like the bridge of a Navy ship). The momentum of a team can eventually be more than the sum of the parts if fed properly. I would even say that a tester and documenter (and whatever other non coder is required ) could take part and to put it even further perhaps each member would have a person or a smaller team working for them. Yeah if I had nine zeros to spare I would definitely try to grow something like this.

I know one that has spent time with the web and irc chatbots. It has helped his social awkwardness immensely.

Because they will include several cameras and microphones and the GPU will always be building a context of where it is (neural nets married to gen algorithms, etc...), and what is going on around it so that when you use the device, it will already have a good idea about what you want.

That, or if you drop it, about 3 inches before it hits the ground, tiny little airbags will break the fall.

Perhaps they are creating a roll out device. 8 inches by 1 inch, but rolls out to a full 20 inches across.

Maybe they'll integrate full android app compatibility?

Maybe the thing will have little legs that come out so that when it's at the other side of the room, you can call it over to you because you're on the sofa.

Is it possible that there will be no screen and there will be lasers that will just shoot the image directly into your eyes?

Some may think that when you buy many of them, you can put them together and the screens mesh together so well that not even one pixel is out of place in the suddenly larger screen that you have.

Maybe they will really make it 3 millimeters thick... really, that would be a pretty nice change.

Maybe the OS will really allow you to "Operate the System", you know someone should really make one of those for a phone or tablet, I don't think they exist yet.

well it's gotta be something good right? Not just more of the same to think they'll break the ice.
