Really? I refer to the first argument:
1. Digital audio means DRM audio
Sure, no users are asking for this, but do you make a phone for the users or to make money?
If the reason was waterproofing then there are analog options too. There is no reason whatsoever a Lightning connector could not transfer analog signals.
Of course.
And in the olden days of the beginnings of the Model S, the S60 did not have free supercharging either. It was a (I believe) € 5.000 option in Europe. For which you could drive at least 125.000 km. But economics of scale say it is better to bundle it with the first cars you sell. I'm sure the free use of the supercharger is somewhere in the cost of a Model S of a Model X you buy now.
I hope they also make an option that buys you the use of the supercharger and charges you for every kWh you use.
Since I had Windows 7 on my computer I have never used the Microsoft update service. I disabled it immediately.
My computer has never been compromised, I have never had a virus, it is not hacked.
This was put forward as a motion by members of the House of Representatives. It has ended with the ministry of economic affairs saying that the motion can not be executed because of practical en legal hinders.
But, there is an earlier agreement in place saying that in 2035 all newly sold cars "should be able to drive emission free". I expect that wording to include hybrid cars that can run electric for shorter or longer distances.
Mozilla moved themselves into the same position as Netscape. The "obsolete" position. The "We think we are too big to fail so we think we can do with our product whatever we want, fuck users" position.
I just installed Pale Moon. Firefox is gone. Just like Netscape was dead after 4.x and Mozilla took over, Firefox was dead after Australis and Pale Moon took over.
So, what is the problem having this as an addon? What you do in your house, I might not do in mine. So why clutter firefox up with things you like to do and most people don't when there is a perfectly working addon for it?
I have said this before and will say it again (lacking the ability to do so myself): Firefox needs to get forked and all the clutter needs to be removed.
I'm surprised they haven't been attacked before now
What do yo mean? Have you forgotten already the august 21 attack on the Thalys train? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
In Germany there have been a number of attacks on railroads, most in connection with leftist terror groups.
But even though. It is probably hard to effect the same result. Even a major crash like the ICE at Eschede had less casualties than this Paris attack.
How can anybody in their right mind expect that information divulged to a third party will be hidden/secret from the government. Of course you should have expected this. This was a question of when, not if.
NASA ignored it and local councillors decided to write it off. But with the 30th anniversary of the crash coming up, they erected billboards around Esperance reminding people of the outstanding debt. Now listeners to a US radio station have clubbed together to wipe the slate clean.
Crackpots should be locked up. Then again, Chuck Lorre is a crackpot too (or something of similar persuasion, Charlie was right) so we wouldn't have such good humor on TV if they did.
Ok, crackpots should not have access to paper en pencil. Dang, that doesn't cover it either. Man, this is difficult.
There is a reason that vital reset commands need more than one action to complete. It would be a minor inconvenience if the router were to reboot when you press this button (by accident), but to have the complete configuration be wiped by this, and have it situated so that an involuntary application of said button is easy, is just epically stupid.
But ok. It's Cisco. You'd expect that from them.
The torture of Theon falls under the "sensationalized cruelty" or at least mindless cruelty IMHO. Maybe I'm getting weak in my old age, but scenes like these (there were others, and I'm not talking about the blood wedding, which was just bad acting, especially from Fairley) I FFWD through. They were not my taste.
I have not read the novels so I can not comment on how much of this is George's work and how much is Benioff's and Weiss's idea, but GoT does get worse while the seasons progress and I have the idea that the first series were more George's creation and the later were more Benioff's and Weiss's and are written purpousfully for shock value. To put it like this: after the the first two seasons my feeling was "never let this end", now after season 5 my feeling is "it has run its course".
But that's just my opinion.
A burglar wouldn't draw attention to themselves like that, so that's just some rozzer trying to dream up anti-drone propaganda.
That's strange because the law enforcement office is very in favour of using drones (for surveillance). It would be very strange indeed if they falsely try to put the image in the general public that drones could possibly not be trusted. For me, this would be a perfect reason to just shoot every drone out of the sky because it's coming right at^H^H^H^H^H possibly a criminal drone.
And then you quote a list of projects that are mostly completed, the "Planned cities and urban renewal projects" as notable distinction of mostly planned projects and the "Water-related projects" as being very, very short indeed.
What of a very needed project to give California drinking water?
While I agree to this, you could scale it up to full size. Then still, the question on "it could function as a replacement for the real thing" is not so much a "are you sure?", but "for how long?"
In other words: how much torque can this thing handle before it breaks. I'm sure it's not much and therefor it still remains a nice piece of machinery but unfit for a replacement.
I know you are joking, but in a way it is a win for creationists. After 2.8 million years, we have under 8 billion people on earth. Statistical models just don't support it. You have creationists that believe there could have been more people on earth prior to the flood than there are now, in just 1656 years when the lifespan was ~900 years per person. My great great grandparents had 11 children that lived to adulthood, and my grandparents had 6...try running those numbers. At just 4 surviving children per parents, using 33 years per "generation", you easily hit 8 billion in 1000 years.
You mean that the best possible model is statistically significant? Wouldn't you think there is a higher possibility that the population growth is not exponentially at all times? Surely, there are lies, damn lies and statistics.
I think solar is great - I have some panels on my camper, which is very conducive to solar type use because it's already designed to function off-grid. But let's be realistic. Let's say every home in America stuck a couple thousand watts of solar power on their roof, and wanted to sell the power into the grid (as opposed of having to store it on-site). How is that supposed to work? If no power generation is required by the power company when the sun is shining, but the full normal generation is required the instant clouds sweep over a community or at night, etc, then how is that supposed to work? None of the power generation plants can function in that "instant on / instant off" type of a mode. Particularly not nuclear. The point is, once the adoption reaches some (rather smallish) percentage, there will be some major problems and costs that will have to be addressed.
Before that occurs (in the US), a lot of years will have passed. Germany has had a day with 75% renewable energy production and 50% solar production and will undoubtedly get similar occurences this year too. They also still have nuclear power plants and it all works. Sure, nuclear power plants are notoriously bad to change in output on short term and will therefore gradually fade from view, which is not a bad thing alltogether (even though I am not opposed to nuclear). New technologies will come to mitigate problems of temporary overproduction, like Elon Musk's battery pack for homes.
It is all not a problem that can be solved. The only problem is big powerful companies fearing for their livelyhood and having the money and influence to prevent these changes from happening.
It does not require an internet connection but it has a stupid arbitrary distinction between "city" and "town" where when you search for a place it will first only search in its list of cities and you have to manually select to search further, and the search then becomes painfully slow. As if it's geared towards city users only.
It is a good navigation app, but it suffers from some bad mistakes and unwillingness to correct them. But ok, it's a one-man-job, or so I believe, so it is commendable it is at this level at all.

So Tesla is seen as European or Asian? Their approach is also "autonomous where possible, driven where necessary".

Oh my. This sounds exactly like Yahoo's move to the neo interface. Or /.'s beta.
Is every "news" item today fake? That's no april fools' joke, that's trying to make /. beta happen. Want to alienate your readers? Just keep this up.
And when are they going to start? Next Wednesday?
