  1. Re:Yay. on The Long Death of Fat Clients · · Score: 3, Informative

    Assuming you're running Windows just remove the older versions, newer installers do it automatically but if you have some REALLY old versions on there you'll have to remove them yourself.

    If you're running Linux, well it's your choice to run Sun Java, OpenJDK and...whatever other Java RE you've found, at the same time.

    ...if there were enough bandwidth to do everything server-side ("TEH CLOUD" as the marketroids call it these days) ChromeOS is on that track. Plus then the platform vendor could have even more control over what software you run and what content you put on your device, plus a convenient excuse for total data collection - it has to go through them, that's how it works!

    Bingo. This is bringing Facebook to meatspace. Like Facebook, I won't be using it myself (I like the hardware but I agree on the control issues), however even us innocent bystanders will still suffer thanks to other people sharing information on us.

    Remember how Lucas shit on the prequels by making it into "Palpatine is George Bush". I can only speak for myself, but I kind of wanted to watch a Star Wars movie, not watch Rachel Maddow interview Sean Penn.

    I find it hilarious that you thought this at all.

    "Palpatine and George Bush are both older white men! Great, now all I can see is a liberal wankfest, I bet they were planning this from when they made Palpatine an older white man in the original trilogy!"

  11. Re:Environmental Questions on Ask Bas Lansdorp About Going to Mars, One Way · · Score: 1

    Mars looks pretty dead. No earth life will survive on the surface. If there is any life, it's eluded us so far. At this point I say go for it and if you happen to find dead alien bacteria in the mars buggy's oil spot consider it a plus. I almost think it's fair game for terraforming at this point, place is DEAD.

    They are sent there to live there until :
    - a future mission brings them more company, from which point onward the colony will increase
    - they can manage to produce fuel on mars it self, or
    - technology advance to the point where it becomes feasible to bring back some of the early colonist who got bored of the mission
    - They die due to an accident leading to a medical problem or lack of resources
    - they die of natural cause
    Probably in this order.

    Won't help, those oily guidos are hydrophobic, they'll just ride on the surface tension and think it's a pool party.

  14. Re:Question on U.S. East Coast a Hotspot of Sea-Level Rise · · Score: 1

    It's true, only humans consciously care for their own environment. Other creatures just happen to live within theirs due to scale making environmental care practically a non-issue and/or succumbing to natural population cycles.

    I see ants and their farms as analogous to humans' high-rise buildings (or mega-arcologies in the case of termites), I wouldn't say that really counts as environmental care so much as building maintenance.
