I'm not afraid of them, I just don't see the point in much of it: I don't want my fridge ordering food (it has no idea what I want to eat), I don't want to heat my house from an office 50 miles away, I don't see the reason for an internet connected watch I can't send email replies on!
And many of the IoT ideas seem to be a complete waste of time at the moment. I'm sure it will settle down and become useful, but that'll probably only start to happen once the hype and "wonderfullness" wears off.

Currently you don't have to be afraid yes, but i think about stuff like every home is connected to internet and remote shutdown lockdown and stuff. We know, everything can be hacked.

I'll tell you.
Don't drink and drive.
I'd love SmartCars that won't start if the driver has been drinking.
Yes, even as much as one beer!
There are plenty of drinks you can drink instead.

We all know you shouldn't drink and drive, i though you would get the point  My house shouldn't tell me anything!

Reminds me of a quote in The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy:
“Not unnaturally, many elevators imbued with intelligence and precognition became terribly frustrated with the mindless business of going up and down, up and down, experimented briefly with the notion of going sideways, as a sort of existential protest, demanded participation in the decision-making process and finally took to squatting in basements sulking.
An impoverished hitch-hiker visiting any planets in the Sirius star system these days can pick up easy money working as a counselor for neurotic elevators.”

It is like the first time you get use a hammer. You just want to hit nails everywhere.
Yes, there could be some usefulness of these devices being smart. As of now, definition of smart device is the one which can connect to social networking sites. I am waiting for that to change.

Later, the definition will be "one which can connect to social networking sites but decides not to"

Onedrive started giving us trouble recently. Files got moved from subfolders to the root of the library. Some searching and ignoring Microsoft own answers which basically was to reinstall or repair one user in a support thread gave me the information needed to fix this.
Apparently Onedrive doesn't like numbers in the beginning of folder names and it appears the risk of onedrive acting up is higher if there are a lot of subfolders. Some folders only got less than 10 subfolders but the troublemakers had over a hundred.
One solution is to delete the folder recreate and move the files back in there but there is no guarantee they wont throw back files to root. So I experimented and added a letter in front of the numbers and voila the problem fixed itself. The files in root even moved back to their correct folders.

Report it to Microsoft: they won't fix it, but it might make you feel better!

Or maybe it will just result in another sigh. Worth a shot at least.

My kid's algebra homework contains a symbol like an anti-clockwise arrow, sort of the opposite of ↻ (if it'll display).
It's mixed in with "rational exponents" and my wife and I have never seen them. We have been unable to figure out what it means and the kid doesn't seem to know.
Edit: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/Uploads/2587207/Math.png[^]
Any of the younger folk know what it means?

Nothing comes up with Google.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Got a unicode point for it? The name might give a clue.

Hmmm. That's in a Unicode block of assorted arrows, not the mathematical operators block(s). The plot thickens...

I am not of the younger folks but I seem to remember that one might represent a 3/2D rotation with a vector adorned with such an arrow.
In which the vector axis is the rotation axis and the length / norm is the angle of rotation...

From what I have learned, anti-clockwise moment is indicated with that symbol (along with a '+' or '-' sign). But that's Mechanics (Statics) and I don't recollect anything with that symbol in Algebra.
I ain't got no signature.
