    But they have to fuck up Office as bad as they're fucking up Windows, it's part of their new take-no-prisoners strategy where they fire machine guns Rambo-style into their own feet until they've blown their legs off and dug their own grave.

    I'd say that it would be another Linux renaissance as was had when Vista fell stillborn into the world, but with Canonical still on a collective LSD bender and cozy golden prisons (especially Apple's) being the hottest real estate in town...this could be a very bad time for open computing.

    I find this difficult to believe. If you had said *the Republicans or Democrats* then I could believe it, but the Tea Party was started by libertarian Ron Paul in 2007, and bought off buy the Koch bros. and turned into a pro-corporatist group soon after, and was quickly filled with racists and crypto-theocrats

    FTFY.

    Not in the same article, but yes. Let's hope it doesn't suffer the same fate as the N950.

    What part of "Consumers are not able to hack the kernel or flash new software for the device" says that it might not be locked?

    From the article:

    "It is true that we have not heard too much from Open Moko for quite some time. But one has to remember that Jolla's main goal is not to create an open source phone. We aim to create a competitive smartphone almost everybody would want for themselves," Hurmola said.

    "The phone will be a smartphone for mass market. It will not be a tech phone intended for Linux hackers. Consumers are not able to hack the kernel or flash new software for the device."

    And I won't be buying one :-(

    Undoubtedly the best. It's the ultimate hacker target, just getting a chance at it requires extensive costly resources and top-level social engineering skills. It's at least on par with breaking into the NSA.

  13. Anonymous isn't democratic on The Hivemind Singularity · · Score: 1

    Individuals who don't agree with the outcome of a group vote don't do it anyways. They just leave or create a splinter group. There's no reason to follow a decision you don't agree with. In general it sounds like this guy's idea of Anonymous is much more hierarchical / authoritarian than it actually is.

    I wonder if something like this could be used inside an engine's combustion chamber to prevent preignition. That could allow for more compression/boost.

    Even a suborbital hypersonic aircraft wouldn't land anywhere near those speeds. That's close to mach 1.5 at sea level. Divide by 2 and that's still close to a modern airliner's full cruising speed.

  19. Re:No, it'll just be an OPTION on Will Speed Limits Inhibit Autonomous Car Adoption? · · Score: 1

    Tires will still limit cars to under 2gs (a really good handling car, without fancy downforce devices will have a sustained cornering force of close to 1g and a peak cornering force of about 2gs) so that's no problem. 2gs is the legal limit on rollercoasters.

    Slower is generally more efficient, we just have to find a happy medium, and I'm pretty sure it will be higher than today's speed limits in 20-30 years when everyone is driving electric cars with lots of range to spare.

    Yep this is what's gonna happen until autonomous cars are ubiquitous. The real question is, once they are, will the speed limits be bumped up significantly and will traffic lights be phased out for synchronized high-speed dodging, or will we continue to tool around like grannies? In other words, will speed limits ruin the greatest potential improvement that autonomous cars have to offer?
