    Something Random

    Are you seriously suggesting that we don't already restrict people's rights to stop at the "tip of my nose?" The fallacy for the writer is that he wants to discuss the power dynamics of a rape while glossing over the power dynamics of a pregnancy. He himself recognized the events are...

    It is more than ironic and a little sad that he feels that a valid response to being forcefully controlled and helpless is in turn forcefully controlling one who is helpless. Even one who was raped found a better solution...

    The batteries should have a particular A-h (amp hour) rating which will help you calculate runtime based on that amperage requirement.

    Hurricane Sandy

    The things you should look for would be the same things as other battery powered devices: does it supply the right voltage, can it supply enough amperage both startup and continuous. Your device should have some spec requirements in the manual. You should be able to get battery discharge curves...

    Ah, of course a heavier object would/could have a higher terminal velocity and higher air friction. Couldn't see the forest for the trees. Incompatible statements. Terminal velocity is dependent on density; time dropping a penny in water and oil. The chute pops open from completely deflated...

    Best movie you've seen

    You seriously need to raise your bar for cool. The guys at work were talking about the premise of Revolution. Sounded pretty mysterious and cool. Sadly(?), no show has drawn me enough to make time for it regularly since Heroes s1.

    New phone time

    The os update about a week ago for both android and iPhone can swamp an exchange server in some circumstances. The band aid is to turn off device syncing for that user until you can delete the duplicate contacts. Thank you MS.

    There would not be that much of an air density gradient in the 30' from body to chute. The effects of the thinner air on the chute would be the same as the were on the body, reduced drag. The chute might not have inflated properly due to not being designed for the thinner air but I think it...

    Random Galaxy s3 on Sprint question: for what reason would the ability to configure it for connection to exchange be missing. Other S3s are connected fine be on this one the "Corporate" button is missing.

    Another mass build and some hardware thoughts

    You make up the difference in price per terminal and ease and flexibility of management. Besides, there are plenty of ways to make the "free 8GB memory stick" underwritten by the marketing department. ;) FWIW, we are transistioning from desktops, laptops and Wyse terminals to HP T5740 thin...

    iPhone syndrome

    iOS6 is the software version. The slow adoption rate for jelly bean is due to slow moving manufacturer gatekeepers. I think the faster adoption rate over iOS5 is mostly due to OOTA update capability. Developers will certainly like the high adoption rate.

    The problem is that they are now dependent on you maintaining reliable equipment and support contracts for your productivity. As usual some will be more motivated than others. Will they have loaner equipment available?

    Most designers are very idealistic, and would care more about the design aesthetic than anything else. That particular article is actually a discussion of using a form with an outmoded function.

    My 2nd laptop, a Lenovo Thinkpad or a Toshiba Tecra?

    I have a T510 and I like it. I've also owned a T23, an X23, and a T61, plus a Dell Inspiron, and a no name laptop. But I think I can put my appreciation for IBM/Lenovo a different way; I would only buy a Lenovo used.

    This is the thread for the discussion of interesting apps.

    I've also switched to lastpass from keepass. More annoying to set up and use but the portability makes up for it.

    This is the thread for the discussion of interesting apps.

    It worked fine for me. I think it works the best if you have a third default profile with nothing in it. Then you can switch your device where it should be.

    I think frames add a bit of class. I cut one to be mounted to the wall around my rectangular .5 bath mirror. For ideas you could look through magazines. Especially helpful if you already know your taste. I suggest southern living and dwell to start.
