I'm happy to report that Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, and all of the other desktop Linuxes I have tried have never deleted any of my files without my permission.
I use an early version of EXT4 on a RAID, you insensitive clod!
A Tesla uses around 360 wh/mi. That's 11 miles at the low end, and 22 miles with the 8 kwh/gallon number.
So say 16 miles... not exactly how far an average car goes on a gallon, but certainly nothing to sneeze at.
A Nissan leaf (300 wh/mi) using that high estimate would go 26.7 mi on the electricity used to refine a gallon of gas (although I suspect that 8 kwh is too high). That really is as far as an average car (light duty vehicles, short wheel base http://www.rita.dot.gov/bts/si...) went in 2014... 23.2 mpg.
"Besides, I still have yet to figure out exactly what kind of business problem IoT is intended to solve, and I really don't think consumers have enough money to buy on the scale that Intel needs."
The problem of locking in customers to your proprietary version of something formerly universal. Duh!
Because there's a trigger release at the top and sides are slippery plastic?
I just walk out to the bin, stick the end of the dust container down in the trash, and pull the trigger. When I lift it up all the dust (or dog hair, which is what 90% is) stays in the bin and the vacuum's dust container comes out empty. Then I just push it against the ground and it's closed up and ready to use.
Not sure where the problem is, or where you get dirty in that process.
Yes, the lenses are usually less than the cost of the frames... unless you go nuts with all the anti-glare, anti-scratch, transitions coatings etc.
But honestly, your best bet is: buy your frames online for a steep discount, then find a good local optician to cut your lenses. The online places suck at lenses and I wouldn't trust them, they cut the prescriptions wrong, reverse eyes, wrong astigmatism angle, you name it. If your local guy gets it wrong, its easy to go in for a regrind.
Yes, Zero has been building electric bikes for years now, and the SR is a sweet bike. Do want.
There's also the Brammo Empulse/Enertia, Lightning LS, Energica Ego, Mission R/RS, Agility Saietta, and Lito Sora.
Heck, even the biggest luddite maker in the world, Harley Davidson, is showing a concept electric bike. I feel like the GP's comment was made solely to find something to complain about, since a simple google search for "electric motorcycle" will show you all these bikes that are available.
Alternately, you can just buy a DRM free K-cup machine from Mr. Coffee.
Got my wife one, it's half the price of the Keurig 2.0 crap, and has no problems with any brand of reusable cup we stick in it (we got a nice stainless steel one).
I use a Linux/XFCE desktop for my media/gaming machine in the living room.
My wife likes to leave streaming flash videos on for hours in the background while she does projects.
I've played Portal 2 for 6-7 hours straight, no crashes. Same thing with simpler games like World of Goo or Super Meat Boy. It's extremely stable, and gets put into sleep mode multiple times a day for months before I reboot for an update or some such.
Heck, my guess is any training that went with the app would be to reinforce over and over for 30 minutes that they aren't allowed to profile based on race/gender/age/whatever, the have to USE THE APP. FOLLOW THE APP. DON'T PROFILE. And so on and on.
The best example from TFA is "streaming is a toy."
Just looking at that 1994 RealPlayer window evokes a whole bunch of frustration for me. It didn't work well, and it wasn't useful for anything you would rely on for 20 years. So yes, for 20 years, I would say streaming was a toy. The people who said that weren't wrong in their time (I was one of them). Until network speed/reliability/availability caught up to it. And now, I'm listening to Pandora while I type this.
I imagine it's hilarious to whipslash, who seems to spend a lot of time responding sarcastically to a million comments complaining every story is a slashvertisement . That's pretty much the reason I found it funny. Much funnier than filling the site with bogus stories... past years I stopped even visiting Slashdot on April 1st. Making fun of everyone calling everything slashvertisements, binary user ids, binary mods? I'll put that up there with OMG Ponies as a funny window dressing while still offering actual articles.

At least you can still click the "search tools"->verbatim option. I miss being able to do this with operators too, though.

Canadians can't read the word "often."
It's one of those language differences like "colour"/"color", "humour"/"humor", and "eh"/"."

Is it just me, or is low, slow, and ugly now a drone job?
See subject.
ultranova, I like your style.

Yes, 100 BHP (biggest 4-cyl 914 was the 2.0L) would be fun in a lightweight car like the Bug. Probably 0-60 in 8-9s. My old 66 had a 0-60 time >20s.
The 914 itself was around 12s 0-60 with the "big" 2.0L.
Look at who the authors work for (hint: one works at Kimberly Clark).
Maybe they weren't installed by default?
They used to be named things like "redhat-config-services" but got changed to "system-config-services" later when Redhat split off Fedora.
Just yum (or dnf now) search for "system-config-" and you and you'll find all the little "Red Hat GUI things" you can care to play with.

You must be right, it is only about the day length.

+1 from me.

You mean +1000?

The 1.2bn cash reserve they have on hand?
How many new people were born in the last 30 years?
