"The single biggest issue is GPS. How many 'smart' things simply stop working when our satellites are taken out "
Smart things? Our Pilots cant fly without GPS, they do not train them to navigate. Honestly it is mind blowing that the powers that be are that incompetent.
Honestly, I really doubt this kind of stuff where you can not find ANY photos of the claimed device anywhere online.
It's the same as claiming you invented cold fusion but not allowing anyone to look inside the box and to ignore the sound of a honda generator running inside the box.
Tell that to the guy that has to build a house with a saw that has no teeth.
He will probably beat you to death with that saw. People that have no clue at all as to the problems with the tools or even how to do the task are the first to blame the craftsman.
" given the arcane kludges needed to produce popular web-page layout effects easily achieved using evil tables and frames, the lack of 'constants' to set standard colours and measurements."
This, a thousand times this. Honestly, why the hell has CSS not been fixed? They could have easily added what was needed to make things a lot easier. but instead they force everyone to fight with it.
Why? The US Congress will gladly roll over and support them. Every single man and woman in the US Congress, as well as the White House completely supports this kind of BS.
If they did not, they would pass a bill that invalidates all software patents and make software not patentable.
"Note that the first 50% of oil was mostly consumed in a century."
You need to correct that statement.
Note that the first 50% of easy and cheap to get at oil was mostly consumed in a century.
There is more oil deeper and in places that it is far less profitable to get to. We will still have oil around in 300 years, it's just going to be ungodly expensive.
No, the alternative is to force (at gunpoint) the police to do their jobs. Bad neighborhood? make cops walk their beat instead of sitting at the local 7-11 eating doughnuts and watching netflix on his phone until the next call. Force them to actually do their job.
Everyone knows that a cop is not going to hear anything happening as they have the windows up and AC on full blast while sitting where they like. they dont patrol, they dont look for trouble, they dont make their presence known.
Yes you can. if you pull your head out of your ass and call them first they will order from Coker and have them there the next day. Why you got a rally race in 4 hours and you need tires?
But you seem to be the type that has his head firmly shoved up his rectum and likes it that way..
Yes. it's called quit playing with toys and run iPCop or other real firewall. I can do a lot more easier and it is brain dead easy to update myself. Built a nice mico ITX box with two ethernet ports into a router/firewall that is fantastic in every way and does not suck up all my time to manage it.
Mostly because we have a crap legal system and police cant be bothered with controlling crime. Here int he USA police are reactive and not proactive. This is a major contributing factor to our violence rate.
No problem. All of my guns have not killed anyone. I set them out loaded and safety off and all day long they did not kill a single person or even go off.
Therefore I have proof that Guns are not the problem, People are the problem. Because guns can not kill anything without a person using it. I know that people like you are certian that they have souls and are possessed, but they are in fact not. They are inanimate objects and require a person to hold it and point it at someone and then pull the trigger to kill someone.
That is why this thing is overhyped. Yes it's a problem but only on grossly msiconfigured servers. They might as well left the Root password as "password"
I find the IDE has less to do with how much of a utter mess the embedded system's platform is. AVR's are great, but if you program for any of the TI platforms like the MSP chips you will find that the code from TI is a complete and utter nightmare mess that is 100% useless unless you want to spend months trying to figure out how to program like they do... or take a lot of peyote when you program because it seems that is how TI programmers work.
That said, Eclipse is a bit of a "clunky" IDE but it's the best we have until someone makes one that is cleaned up and as compatible with all the platforms out there as Eclipse seems to be.
Exactly. and it's why anyone funding this kickstarter is just throwing their money away. They will never get anything out of it because the amount of energy needed in the plant to make it glow nice but not be anywhere near the brightness needed to read by it will kill the plant in only a couple of hours.
Use your personal credit card for your company's expenses, you are a complete and utter moron.
If your boss ever says, "So can I use your credit card to buy this expensive product for the company?" you say.... "Here is my resignation, good luck."
If you bothered to know anything about technology, you would understand that Serial ports are NOT accessible from the internet unless some moron installs a rs232-> ethernet gateway device that is completely and poorly set up.
The problem is NOT serial ports, the problem is completely incompetent IT and CS people that are allowed to design and install SCADA systems.

This.
Typically those that whine about "sloppy" are newbies fresh out of college.
Except for the USA where they are still highly common because it is cheaper to stick wires on poles.

Nope : http://www.cokertire.com/ Easy as pie. They even carry Model A tires.

Well for n00bs like you, yes. you will never see it.
The rest of us get a tripwire alert that a watched binary was changed. You are using security software on your publicly accessed servers right?
Bingo.

Really? you cant afford $7.99 for a game? Do you live in a cardboard box next to a dumpster?
Sadly this does not reflect reality.
