Even ignoring the placebo effect, and a contingent of people carrying forth a message between advocating the amazing world of task killers, what in the world would a skin have to do with that? TouchWiz and others are literally layered over

Critics of Android embraced a meme that Lollipop was Android's Vista, substantiated by users anecdotal claims about poor battery life from a given upgrade, or the changes to notification levels, etc. So you still see the echos of that.

Terrible working conditions have been the norm for many coders for as long as there has been coding. In the late 90s, Joel Spolsky rose by being a contrarian and advocating good work conditions. Microsoft was always held as an extreme out

Some of the other comments refer to rewrites where the intention was to expand scope / technology / scale / etc. The Healthcare.gov rewrite was simply to make a functional system. If you have a system that does A, it is absol

I've put no words in anyones mouth. I have no idea why you keep responding while adding literally nothing of substance, but their first argument was that there's a conspiracy because how could densities jump so significantly, clea

So now we're on to completely different argument #3, which is that you don't like the form factor they use. Again, aside from the fact that it's a new manufacturing process of flash cells , which is rather an important point

His core "argument" is that it's fishy that a device can appear that has 16x the storage space. That is precisely what they said, so this really isn't open to debate. But that device will be unfathomably expensive. We al

Your conspiratorial argument is that they're holding off higher capacity consumer drives (note that in the Enterprise market you have been able to get multi-TB solutions for years) for some reason, but that the existing options are too

Ignoring that it's a wholly new flash/storage chip just being introduced to the market, scaling up flash storage is not a great mystery or difficulty -- add more chips. The reason consumer drives are at the sizes they are is a mat

While I hardly think you're asking with any sincerity, sharing every keystroke, local system search, application activity, wifi passwords, and so on is over the top . Making that the default, instead of a value-add that you pitch, was

It's a concern anywhere with caps, which increasingly includes much of the US as well. FWIW I'm in Canada and recently my provider (Cogeco) switching my 120Mbps plan to unlimited data per month, which is nice. This actually brings

I recall approximately no one making that argument. That isn't to say there aren't terrible misuses of XML (the database within a database notion that, while sometimes necessary, is every beginner's mistake), but you're

In what way is my post "ironic"? I would dearly love to know. Do you think my defense of XML is somehow that I am too lazy to know alternatives. You would be painfully wrong, dear friend, though such is a go to among the intelle

Was a reductio ad absurdum really necessary? Yet there was none. Your very post, though, not only attempts to paint my comment as an "old person thing" (hilariously), it then attacks the speaker ("hostile dick"). Befor

The notion that XML is difficult comes from the most profoundly lazy evaluations possible, where the most minimal of up front understanding are effort are eschewed if you can just launch mongodb and insert some giant mystery meat bags of js

ECC memory has a small performance overhead, and is slightly more expensive (e.g. 12%). It is segmentation for sure -- the chipsets and processors can easily support it -- and many of the people throughout this thread really should only b

That has nothing at all to do with OnStar. GM wants to control the ECM, which has very much to do with your ability to be transported. Are you going for the shotgun approach?

Who said you can't ? Again, there is a simple little box with a wire connector that you can easily disconnect. I did exactly that. Fear mongering about how everything will start failing is not backed by reality.

by inversionOf 11y ago
You aren't being sarcastic, but instead are simply making things up. GM dealers are all supposed to know how to disable OnStar, and indeed it is usually actually quite easy for an end user to do, with no negative impact on the vehicle.

So instead you make a traceable call to OnStar, before which you will have amassed all of the personal details to somehow socially engineer them into letting you into the vehicle (not just their names and personal details, but the system al

And then what? You can't actually do anything with the car without the keys. Steal the goods in it? Well most thieves just smash a window rather than relying upon social engineering, presuming that even worked. OnStar started as a data

by inversionOf 11y ago
I don't think the hack involves the cellular data connection, and it would be a very different hack if it did. To clarify, the OnStar system in your vehicle talks to a data center at GM or wherever. When you use the app, it talks to th

Alternately, the best of both worlds. The battery pack in the Tesla is some 1300lbs. The Volt's battery pack is 400lbs. That's 900lbs less of battery you're accelerating around all day, and contributes to the fact that the Vo
