This is an incredibly stupid idea borne of holier-than-thou moralizing about currency valuations. You know why Germany wanted everyone in on the Euro? Because sans Euro, German exports drive the Deutschmark through the roof, German exports promptly tank, and everyone else has a fair shot of attracting investment, business and industry to setup those export economies in "weaker" nations.
The Euro doesn't work because it's an economic union without political union to match it. The currency represents a bizarre aggregate of political goals, rather then allowing the efficacy of policy in individual regions to drive it. What's really going to bend people's minds is when Greece exits the Euro and then runs a mini-economic boom on the back of cheap Drachma making investment suddenly very attractive again.
You think you're being ironic, but yes. That is exactly what can happen sans purchasing IP.
Making a car isn't difficult - it's jut not cost-effective if you can import them more cheaply. A devalued Drachma would make that no longer the case, and could very well inspire new local automakers to fulfill a demand. There's a plenty long history of recessions causing exactly this.
I'm curious how you'd actually inject these into the supply chain.
At the minimum it seems like you'd need some undercover work, and to be really effective the best way would probably be to catch and turn some of the actual dealers. Conversely, I suppose it wouldn't take more then 1 or 2 deals-cut in order to seriously undermine and devalue the entire trade.
String theory has in no way become dogma, except to those who keep looking for drama where there is none.
No one's going to be rejecting LHC results which explicitly refute large chunks of string theory (and lets be clear: every particle accelerator has been setting some fairly rigorous bounds on all sorts of hypotheses over the years). Just as people were plenty interested in a possible confirmation of neutrinos moving faster then light in a major experiment.
disagree. These mobile devices are useful when on the move but next to useless for doing real work.
Most people never do real work on their computing devices, so it is difficult to understand your objection, which seems to be based on a total lack of understanding of how most people use them. The majority of people spend almost literally 100% of their time in the browser, and would be best served by a Chromebook, tablet, or phone, depending on whether they write much and how much screen real estate they need. For watching larger media, there's Chromecast.
I am not actually a big fan of the everything-is-connected-we-know-what-you're-watching Chrome video ecosystem, but for the average person it's probably a very good choice.
I guess all those computers in offices are just for show? All the people who schedule and calendar with their cellphones are faking it? My friends laptops at home which absolutely have to have Office and a VPN aren't real?
You know where Windows 8 and all the other UI mis-steps of the last few years have come from? This exact, elitist, "I'm an IT Guy" sentiment.
And here I am about to ditch Chrome for Firefox because the 4+gb of memory usage on desktop with a bunch of inactive tabs open is meaning I can't really do work properly anymore because my machine is liable to lock up from running out of memory. And this isn't hundreds of tabs - it's like, 30-40 tops.
Presumably this benefit is accurately measured by the revenue generated by operating that vehicle. Invisible hand of the market and all that, isn't that what the US is all about?
Also every single place with a complicated password policy ends up with users choosing the most similar types of simple password that are allowed. They then write them down because they can't remember them. You can always tell when some jackass has got in charge of password security because a long keyphrase like "Goats jumping over the martian plains!" gets rejected, but "abc123!@#" gets accepted because it has a number in it.
Also every wireless signalling system I've ever seen for data tends to introduce a ton more latency with all the processing necessary for high throughput than any wired equivalents. This is even becoming a problem with high speed ethernet since past 10Gbps it's essentially RF modulation schemes again.
I remembering being fine with the Oculus till I walked backwards in an FPS. Turns out that entire movement is extremely unnatural to how you move in the real world. Never had a problem with Elite Dangerous.
No I'm pretty comfortable saying the Baby Boomers are uniquely the worst and Gen X is just the children who never had a chance to learn better.
Once they die and Gen X has it's tantrum over all the aged-care benefits they're not going to get because of the screwed up workforce dynamics the Baby Boomers led to, all of sudden all the usual castigators of the young will switch their tune to be all about socialism and welfare.
The latest generation works harder, for longer hours,...
Not according to what my grandparents have told me.
Your grandparents lived in a time when you got a job, held it for the rest of your life if you wanted to, and from that earned an income to support a stay-at-home spouse and multiple children.
Blah blah blah so clearly we should do nothing because I am so sure I will soon be rich and it would be terrible to have to think of my community once that happens.
Your cynicism is neither helpful, nor deserved, nor insightful and reeks of privilege.
Actually the thing journalctl does really well is the ability to log onto a machine and run journalctl -f and get every log the machine is running on the local console immediately. It's a boon when you're doing remote logging because you don't get stuck with issues like buffering causing your logs to come in big unwieldy bursts.
Wi-fi is not reliable enough, doubly so in crowded airspace around apartment blocks and the like. This would be much more attractive if it let me go RJ45 -> Stick -> TV.

Google takes over coal powerplant, converts to data center and installs a bunch of renewables?
That's...not irony.

Worry about the complex problem once we solve the simple one with the obvious solution? Semi's aren't used to get around city deliveries.
You might want to think about your numbers there.

Can you elaborate on why this is fucked up and why valve's sounds better? Genuinely curious.
A history of actually shipping the stuff they talk about... And lots of shipping Linux games.
HL3 is any day now...
Seriously? I have a DK2 sitting on my desk right now. I was plaing Elite Dangerous with it a couple of hours ago.
I think that all those MacBook's cab run Windows, and that most CAD software is Windows-based.
I remembering being fine with the Oculus till I walked backwards in an FPS. Turns out that entire movement is extremely unnatural to how you move in the real world. Never had a problem with Elite Dangerous.
What are you even talking about? journalctl -a -f will output the logs straight from memory.
Plants also aerobically respirate O2 and emit CO2 at night. They are not pure CO2 sucking machines.

True in many ways....HOWEVER,
Everything else you wrote from this point on is exactly the same thing that was, has and will be said for thousands of years prior and henceforth.
Freedom of expression is not freedom from criticism.
