I was surprised, a couple of years back, when I measured how much power unused wall-warts added up to.
Have you checked lately? I have a Kill-a-Watt meter, and the loads on modern chargers have gone way down in the past 10 years, especially when the load is disconnected.
What about the possibility that the "third" factor (gas) does not cause earthquakes on its own? What if it's the combination of gas and fracking?
You could look at places with natural gas deposits that are not being fracked to see how their earthquake incidence compares to areas without gas deposits.
I wonder what it would take to get data like this into Gapminder.org.
I want to compare connection speed to population density.
I also want a version of the report where they exclude ISPs that effectively require a "bundle" with other services I don't want.
... for the first time facial recognition software incorrectly identifies an ordinary schlub as a major celebrity and sends crazed fans/paparazzi to a small neighborhood joint.
... for the first Halloween after it goes live. ("60% of patrons at PDQ are undead. 10% are current or past presidents of the United States, etc.")
... for the first time the SceneTap data is subpoenaed in a fire death investigation to demonstrate that the bar was overcrowded and the owner knew it.
... for the first National Security Letter sent to SceneTap. Actually, we'll never know when that happens (happened).
I'm wondering if there's a just single user whose password was "SUNIV358", and that user logged in to the system very frequently. These entries are coming from a log, rather than a password database afterall.
Since I have an online subscription to Consumer Reports, I always look at their security software ratings when they get revised. It may not be a "tech" resource, but for a family desktop or laptop, it's not a bad place to look. It's also independent of advertiser influence.
In their reviews over the years, there have usually been several free products that rate higher than paid products. I do notice however that year-to-year, they shift around a lot in ranking.
Just the opposite of your first conjecture: Since Buddhism is a non-theistic religion there is no deity to be offended and Buddhists cannot claim anyone's actions to be blasphemous. Further, as a non-theistic religion Buddhism denies the existence of the god common to the Abrahamic religions and therefore offends all of them. Other Buddhists may disagree with me, but I feel the value of Buddha statues like those demolished in Bamiyan was as cultural or archaeological artifacts. A great loss to humanity, but not a personal affront that must be avenged.
The things that bothered me most about TFA were the fact that there is apparently a class of software known as "loyalty management" and that it is used by something called "affinity groups".

As soon as we can make bacteria or algae that poop out jet fuel, we'll have it.

everything at such small scale may and may not controlled by quantum mechanics.
... And what happens when you rip one?
Sorry, offtopic: Speaking of Romana, why didn't Slashdot tell me that Mary Tamm died last July?
Aaah! Beat me to that one. How about: How do you keep yourself busy while visiting the in-laws on Gallifrey?
Until tablets have a hell of a lot better battery life,
and a display that's as comfortable as e-ink
e-readers are not a fad.
I seem to be wrong
Congratulations! That's the first time I've seen that phrase in a slashdot comment!
Simple pandering, since this took place "at a sportsman’s banquet at Liberty Baptist Church".
That's a relief. At first I thought you meant they were searching for alien Dyson Balls.
I'm also from America, but I don't mind giving this short summary: It's an agricultural product with a wide variation in harvest from year to year.

Note to self: Value of space telescopes greatly diminished when they are not actually in space.

Maybe it has already warned those members whose passwords were compromised.
The map geolocation data would be more meaningful on a population cartogram.
CR is not credible in this area Their testing methodology is flawed.
And yet for free AV products, they came up with essentially the same recommendations that the /. community did.

At the absolute minimum, "worse than the soda" is pretty unlikely.
Don't you know the rule of questions in headlines? The answer is always NO.
A nice thought, but the debunking never seems to attract the attention that the bunk does.
