The recorded message would rather have to be: "Leave a message; we're in Disneyland. If you're Bob, we left the door open so you can water the plants. Don't worry about the alarm. We changed the passcode to "1111" before turning it off, in case you turn it on by mistake. While you're there, could you check all the money is still on the big desk? We put it there so you could check faster, but now we're worried the wind may have pushed it outside the window. (we left the windows open in case the dog we lost five years ago comes back.)"

Based on your used ID I see you took an abnormally large time to read your first post here but I guess you had your reasons. Anyway, Welcome to Slashdot! \o/
You realize that almost nobody's energy comes from those sources? You realize that the process of making things like solar panel produces a lot of pollution in itself?
First sentence is simply false, unless your definition of "almost nobody's" covers everything under 100%.
Second sentence means nothing unless you define "a lot of pollution"; taking into account you're comparing means of energy production to replace mining and burning coal, so your "lot of pollution" would have to be a pretty ridiculously massive LOT to even reach comparable orders of magnitude.
Apparently you can now spam Slashdot freely, as long as you don't write in English.
Also, unless I recall incorrectly, in the past you were able to moderate after having posted, and it deleted your previous posts. Now you can't, so anyone who enters the thread with mod points won't be able to mod spam down if he entered the thread to write something.
Yes. I see how Slashdot advances more and more, in the wrong direction.
If it is, it's a very smart one, as you can go to Tesla's site and preorder, and news sites are showing pictures of the long lines at different countries Tesla stores.
A "funny" way of checking how much a starting hype train of 100k people would get them.
. . ..that the "finance executive" is no longer employed by Mattel ?? I note that in all the reports, this executive is carefully not named. ..
In Mattel they don't kid around with failure. Not only you're "disappeared", they even continue de proud tradition of Damnatio memoriae, by which they delete every single mention to your name. Just as Horemheb tried to do with Akhenaten.
The pyramids were made by successively piling lego shaped rocks. Lego, the direct competence of Mattel! Coincidence? I think not.

No.
Dark matter isn't just matter we don't see. It's matter that doesn't collide with regular matter, which makes it not conform to galaxies' disk shape.
What I'm arguing is that security shouldn't be evaluated by "volume of flaws", but by "size of the largest flaw".
For my argument I used a chain to recall the clear fit to this situation of the classic proverb "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link".
I was about to say the same, but it could hurt the editors unsecurities.

Counterarguments:
A steel chain with steel painted wooden links is way more dangerous than a steel chain with a clearly visible paper link.
A router identified as having no access control is way safer than a router which is expected to be secure.
A steel chain with twenty wooden links is still stronger than a steel chain with one paper link.
A router with no access control whatsoever is less secure than the given example.
The short answer is: Yes.
The long answer is: [bot insert]

Well. They could just leave secret documents in the servers, addressed to the mysterious hackers:
"Dear Mysterious Hackers,
We're pretty sure you must be reading this, so, would you please download phone 555-45-33's records and send them to us, please?
Pretty please?

I really wish you'd said "If the FrostyBI are pissed..." because it would have been such a lovely First Post pun.
A missed opportunity as there's not been one in months.

In post-lost-decades Japan, cattle prods you.
how can this be into the news today ?!?

That not enough sodium in your diet can be detrimental to one's health.
No worries. To address this concern, they're already planning to release Electric Fork 2, the salt-coated version.
chances of this device electrocuting you?
Probably 0, because the necessary energy would require a larger storage volume than a fork's handle.
You just missed a fantastic joke.
Frosty Piss
I could swear there was a text in the previous post when I clicked reply. Something about restricting Reddit. But now it's changed to "Frosty Piss".
150.000 / 50.000 = 30
So... How's that job market for social studies graduates?
Indeed. I remembered wrongly.
I have no alternative explanation as to why a clear spam post stood un-modded for so long.

Ultimately, the hype train ended up being an electric car. Who'd'a' thunk it.
One more major electrical energy sink that will concentrate in a very small portion of the day.
Time to invest in energy accumulating techs.

No worries. We don't want your Linux crap on our machines either.
NO! Don't say that!
Now Microsoft will put it as "recommended update" and soon later just silently install it!
