No Air laptops!!
(anyway, I will not have the money for nice things (excep for vacations) for another 10 months; knocks on wood that my gadgets hold up up to that point)
I'd rather be phishing!

The Air is doomed. Along with Apple's consistent and simplified product line.
(Actually, I'm guessing the Air will live for another year or two, then maybe they'll have a MacBook Air SE. In rose gold, natch. And then they'll point to a "partner" who makes one that's actually a little better and cheaper, and then they'll wash their hands of it.
And yes: I miss Steve. Evil but focused and consistent)

Something tells me Microsoft may have stolen their thunder with the new Surface Studio and the Surface Book refreshes.
Apple look more and more like a one trick pony nowadays - entirely reliant on iPhone revenue.
Good time to sell APPL.

This "rule" is federally unconstitutional, as well as state-unconstitutional, such as in Idaho.
Only Congress or state legislatures can write laws which are then invoked upon the people and/or businesses.
A contract between an internet service provider (ISP) and their customer, that being a private person, is what dictates what the ISP can and cannot do with the customer's personal information.
If of the contract the ISP requires the customer to allow the ISP to share the customer's personal information, the ISP has violated the customer's right to that of protecting property (property being whatever we the people so define it as).
You see, an ISP as business is considered a "foreign corporation" in any state, and within the U.S. When they apply for a "business license", they sign a contract to abide by the state and federal laws and constitutions, *just* as if they were the govt itself. What this means is, a business *cannot* inhibit free speech, the bearing of arms, peaceful assembly; basically, a business, just like the govt, cannot impair or deny the rights of the people.
However, public govt schools have brainwashed the masses into thinking otherwise.
Govt: We FORCE you to send your children to a school, or we will take your children away, at gun-point if necessary. This, reader, is not bullying at all (and, bullying is a wrong social culture word, anyway, the masses have been gag-fed). This is forced lethal coercion at its utmost.
So, the FCC, which is an unconstitutional entity, for it entirely impairs or denies free speech at its core, is 'enacting' a rule that is also unconstitutional.
Were the FCC constitutional, the only thing a "rule" can do when they create it is that the rule applies only to the FCC, and no one else.
When an executive branch creates a rule that is forced upon the private citizen, this is not "regulation" or even "over-regulation", this is tyranny at its utmost.
The executive branch is only to abide by and "execute" law, not create near-law-like "rules" and enforce it upon we the people.
This is why HJR5, a proposed amendment to Idaho's Constitution, is wrong. For, it "constitutionalizes" executive "rules".
So, if you are from Idaho, vote NO on HJR5.

With Twitter’s future still in question following failed attempts at finding an acquirer and the recently announced layoffs of nine percent of its workforce, the company today announced it’s shutting down its standalone short-form video app, Vine. Never saw it. Can't make a joke about it.
Wait, was that their "GIF killer"? 140ms of video or something?
Yeah, never saw one. It will be missed.
edit: fixed the title. Yeah, having troubles today.

Honestly if it works as smooth as that cringy video then it's awesome. What's less awesome is the cringes in that video.
I'm just going to sit here and smile like a psychopath while i'm doodling like a 6 year old. Look I drew a 3d p*n*s.

Over the summer, the team launched what they called the Footprints Project, which invited individuals to participate in an online experiment that allowed researchers to access their anonymous web browsing history, including information about active Twitter usage. Especially if you share your browsing history with researchers

10 years ago I was all for anonymity, less video surveillance etc etc.
Now these days I'm happy as long as no one steals my identity or accounts and that what I browse in incognito isn't published on facebook.
Unless someone wants to try to blackmail me that information is useless in itself but as with anything someone somewhere is mining it for gold.

There are 15 emerging technologies Forrester thinks you need to follow closely. As the wise man says, "but they won't give me the source code"

- IoT software and solutions that bring customer engagement potential within reach. *
Yup. RTFM to figure out how to change the default passwords.
- Intelligent agents coupled with AI/cognitive technologies will automate engagement and solve tasks.
Sounds like a wedding planner.
- Augmented reality overlays digital information and experiences on the physical world using combinations of cameras and displays.
I don't think Oprah can be augmented any further. Trump, however, could definitely benefit from augmentation. Actually, he would benefit from the "erase from sight" affect.
- Hybrid wireless technology will eventually create connected everything.
Ah, that's what the intelligent agent is for. Figuring out how to keep everything connected. Except when I don't want my wife to know I'm with my mistress. But hey, there's augmented reality for a foolproof alibi, and intelligent agents to make it appear I was somewhere else doing something else, like convincing the IoT microwave that I was cooking dinner!
Yay for world changing technologies!!!
Oh, and I suppose they mean only the small percentage of the world that has access to electricity, potable water, the Internet, and isn't worried about starvation, disease, dictators, and terrorist groups. Yeah, that world.

Just to allow to change them for something better would be a nice improvement.

#1 don't include the whole world in every .cpp
#2 use precompiled headers
#3 use incremental linking
what's more than that?

Sure? Then where should I put the "hello world", or should I write "hello wo_ld" so that it is not complete?
