    The Time Round has a battery life quoted at a day, and isn't water resistant. If you want that you'll need to get a Time.

    +1 for the pebble lineup.

    For battery and water resistance, and since you're primarily looking to use it for receiving notifications, I'd have to suggest a Pebble. My Pebble Time Steel lasts around 5 days or so and the display is always on so 8 hours wouldn't be a problem. It's water resistant to 30 metres as well.
     
    I don't use apps on it much, mostly notifications which sounds like what you're wanting anyways. Pebble released their own "Send Text" app awhile so I primarily use that and an app called "Music Boss" which is awesome for media control. It's great at being a watch first, smartwatch second kind of thing. Plus in my (limited) experience with a Moto 360, Pebble's physical buttons are a much nicer way to navigate a smartwatch than a touchscreen. You don't obscure the content and can do things like skip songs without looking at the watch.

    I have to disagree for 2 reasons:
    We can't (same as any other site) really prove age with any reliability I've seen more than enough evidence to know age does not correlate strongly with maturity at all.  I've seen plenty of young people be great on here, and vice versa

    Age =/= maturity also I doubt anyone who wants to register for this site would comply with age restrictions.

    PowerPigeon reacted to LukeS in People who buy Android found to be more humble and honest than iPhone users   
    As people have said, this is a good example of a Post hoc ergo propter hoc (translated (by my knowledge of Latin) as quite literally "After this, because of the account of this" (or After this, because of on account of this)). There isn't necessarily a LOGICAL or SCIENTIFIC correlation as fact, and therefore the thesis statement of "All Apple Users are NOT humble or honest" is incorrect. Logically. Whether or not it's valid...

    okay good luck, I saw some hd 4670 going for under 20usd the other day on ebay, that would get you started.

    Yep - blow away the partitions and start with a single large partition of the whole drive.
     
    Partitioning a HDD in a modern OS is simply personal preference and organizational - there's no technical or performance reason to split it anymore.

    Him and I will have to get together again soon, he's heading home momentarily so I won't start anything now. I'll try reinstalling 10 and if that doesn't work, look for a cheap dGPU or revert to 7. Thanks for the help!

    It comes with an adapter to charge it from a standard Lightning cable, so you don't use the female port on the iPad to charge it for the full 12 hours.

    Hoping no one posted this already, a friend told me it today...
     
    A man dies and goes to heaven. There, he meets God in a huge room full of clocks.
    "What is this place?" the man asks.
    God answers "Each person has a clock in this room, and the hands only move when they lie. As you can see, some never move, like George Washington's."
    The man thinks for a moment, than asks "What about Stephen Harper's clock?"
    God responds "Oh him? I use his clock for my ceiling fan."

    The antibacterial soap we use as work just does a number on my hands. I've been obsessively using hand cream for over a week, this is much better than is used to be.

    The CBSA, as @Victorious Secret stated, has the right to search devices regardless of the right to protection against unreasonable search and seizure in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. I recently did an essay for school on a Supreme Court decision regarding searching a cell phone without a warrant, the precedent has been set that it is legal in Canada and having a password on your phone does not change that.

    When logged in to Cryptsy, go to the "Balances" page at the top row of the web page.
     
    Scroll down to "ZiftrCoin" near the bottom of the page
     
    Click on "ZiftrCoin"
     
    Select "Deposit / Autosell ZRC"
     
    Click the green "Generate New Deposit Address" (I'll recommend doing this every time you deposit for enhanced security - no proof on that though)
     
    Click the "Send" tab in ZiftrCoin Wallet application
     
    Copy and Paste the Deposit Address from Cryptsy into the "Pay To:" line
     
    Optionally label the payment method (I labeled mine as "Cryptsy")
     
    Select the amount to transfer
    Click the "Send" button at the bottom of the page
     
    Done! Like I said, it took a couple of minutes for the coins to transfer, but they DID show up for me after a little bit of waiting (I sort of got worried that I did it wrong and lost the coins, but I didn't).
     
     
     
    Hope that helps!
