I think you'll find that actually the bar will not bend in any way if it's dropped onto the ground with weight on. You won't bend or damage a bar unless it's dropped onto supports on a rack, and if you're doing Crossfit, it's highly likely you're dropping it on the floor, so this isn't an issue.
"Not tech" as in no sessions focusing on how to maximize your CoreData performance, or how to use Metal in your new iOS8 game. No talks that are technical in nature.
Check out CocoaConf (http://cocoaconf.com). They travel around the country and provide many technical talks. I was at their DC one in March and found it very educational.
My goal was to get publicity for Openmargin. I created a quick site called BetaList, emailed them about it, and as an end result got publicity for Openmargin. That was the trick.
iOS is great for certain tasks but comparing it to OSX or Windows for productivity is silly. I have 3 iOS devices in my household, we love them. None of us use it for work though, they're leisure devices. No one at my company uses iOS for work, they use Windows and OSX. Also, your link is showing smart phones and tablets used at work, which certainly favor iOS. What does this have to do with the Microsoft Surface?
I agree, what does anything have to do with the Microsoft Surface? As I can tell, it has virtually no traction for "work," which makes it entirely irrelevant outside of the flood of fanboys in announcement discussions on the internet.
Not among the microsoft fanboys, clearly, which is the entirely point.
But, you know, why don't you go ahead and regurgitate a Microsoft market phrase since that apparently trumps actual facts. Note that I'm the only person who actually cited a real source with hard numbers in this discussion, and I've been the most downvoted. Go figure. I suppose we've already established that actual facts are irrelevant to you people.
How many MS fanboys do you think there are on HN? If there were any considerable, this MS pro post like any other wouldn't get flagged off from the frontpage in less than 8 hours.
>why don't you go ahead and regurgitate a Microsoft market phrase since that apparently trumps actual facts.
What facts are your referring to? That iOS dominates the enterprise world? It may but its rarely work related, my gf and her colleagues got awarded an iPad from work (she is not a techie), the most she does is email some documents and maybe make minor excel modifications. Its shouldn't take a genius to figure out that the current versions of tablets are anything but a productivity tool. I am not going to say Surface dominates the enterprise market but more realistically no tablet dominates it yet. However on a wild guess, I believe a hybrid version of any OS on a tablet would be the future.
umm its a statement based on my observation and not a fact... I can only make an assumption on what goes around me. If you want to believe that iPad is the tablet that replaces the enterprise workload and would replace the desktops in the corporate world, then by all means be my guest to that illusion. However don't go around expecting everyone to buy into it. I think you want to live within that "fact" so its a pointless to make an argument.
Is this aimed at guys moving like one or two boxes?
My parents run a removals firm in the UK, British Association of Removers accredited. Are you hoping to displace the removal industry of people moving entire homes?
The actual physical handling of people's goods should never come down to price, a bidding war on moving the personal belongings of your entire personal life is never going to end well. Unlicensed, unregulated cowboys will never handle your belongings as well as someone who has had training, is fully insured and has twenty years of experience.
Moving people is hard work, it's difficult to judge a price based upon what people say, distance to the truck? Amount of packing that needs to be done? These are all things that can add huge amounts of time, and therefore money into moving home and due to the fact you're dealing with people's hard earned personal possessions something that shouldn't be ignored.
What are you talking about? I've lived in the UK my entire life and this is completely and utterly incorrect.
