I'm not so sure that this will work out to be good for us. With an abundance of food, plants will evolve, become intelligent and eventually enslave humans to produce more CO2 for them.
The plant overlord future isn't looking very "rosy" any more, is it . . . ?
I can well imagine the top flying off as a person is walking over to correct what they assume is an unbalanced washing machine load, and popping them in the jaw.
I'm thinking that the Samsung engineers were striving towards a unified field theory technology that combines the concept of a washing machine with the Flying Guillotine:
So you can hack if you are doing "security research" on it or are "fixing it." Won't the companies just say, "You are not a recognized Security Researcher!" Or even better, "You are not allowed to fix it . . . because it is not broken!"
VW's firmware wasn't broken . . . it did what it was designed to do . . . cheat on emissions tests. Of course, the US EPA sees it differently . . . but is there an EPA law anywhere that you cannot cheat on emission tests . . . ?
Of course, VW has lost the trust of its customers . . . where else have they cheated? Crash tests? Braking distance tests?
However, what I want to point out here is that companies will always try to find a legal way to block you from hacking "devices" that you have bought from them. Despite what the law says.
No sorry, I can't give you a citation, but I saw it on a documentation on NTV or Poenix in Germany. They also mentioned that that he was as scientific genius, who got involved with the wrong crowd.
The dude was later accused of being a Nazi, but when push comes to shove, he built the rocket that took us to the Moon!

I have to admit I have no interest in this phone as my Note 3 still works perfectly fine but at the very least at least Samsung is making sure that they don't earn the reputation for their phone being faulty or explosive.
I'm still on my Note 2. I am not a smartphone "power user", but I bought it because I wanted to program some apps. This phone has been horribly abused and dropped. The display has multiple cracks . . . but it still keeps ticking, like the EverReady Bunny Rabbit. I showed it to a colleague with the rank of "Fellow" in my company, and he told me that it was a mark of honor among hackers, to have a smartphone with a busted display, that still worked.
Although the Note 2 has a replaceable battery, I've never needed to change it. In the '80s, I bought a lot of TV stuff from Sony. Then they got me angry with their rootkit, and I switched to Samsung. I'm hoping that they will get this problem sorted.
Oh, and a minor plug here, if you have never programmed an Android app, trust yourself, and give it a go! There are great tools for this, and no rocket scientist degree required! I would also like to try doing stuff for Apple, but I don't earn enough to be able to afford their development platform:-(
Wait, wait, wait! Elon Musk can build electric cars with big batteries. Why didn't he build an electric rocket? I barely remember seeing black and white movies of Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon as a child, and their spaceships seemed to be powered by electric razors, that emitted smoke.
Come on Mr. Musk, watch some ancient science fiction films, and get your engineers working on it!
Wernher von Braun went through all this. I saw a documentary on German television where an ex-colleague said that after a V2 crash on the launchpad, von Braun quipped, "Diese Scheise ist nicht einfach!" In English, "This shit is not easy!"
I think that sizes it up for me.
But hats off to Falcon engineers! And good luck at you next attempt! Don't let the bastards grind you down!
It has something to do with Einstein's relativity. Slashdot is moving faster than the speed of light. Or maybe the rest of the world is moving faster than the speed of light. At any rate 35 years comes out of the equation.
NASA stuff has been morphed by Congress into a source of pork. The folks in Congress hem and haw about which states get to build components. It's like a horse and donkey trading show, "OK, so my state will build the engines, your state will build the avionics, and your state will sell the television rights".
Just give NASA the money, and let them decide who is best to deliver.
Washington, D.C., is owned by Hollywood these days. Just think of all the resources that were spent on skanking Kim Dotcom. Sure he was a creep, but these ISIS folks are even more creepier. The government in the USA should have better focused those resources on ISIS. But the financial interests of Hollywood, and the politicians who they own decided otherwise.
I'm thinking that a chorus of Slashdotters sounds like Vogon poetry:
Happy Birthday to you,
You live in a zoo,
You look like a monkey,
And you smell like one too!

Except here they have it ass backwards with cause and effect, and need to read "The Critique of Pure Reason" from Immanuel Kant.
The industrial revolution was caused by the start of global warming. Before that, humans were huddling under blankets, complaining about how cold it was. When temperatures rose, the folks said, "Hey, it's warm outside, let's go out and build a factory or something!"
I'm thinking that these critters could be used as an excellent PsychOps weapon. Some primitive guy with a beard and a rag on his head, carrying a Kalashnikov gets surrounded by a horde of these critters . . . he's going to wig out, drop the Kalashnikov and skedaddle, while screaming "Run Away!".
It would also be a hoot and a half to dump one of these varmints into the local public swimming pool. The folks in the pool would wig out, drop their Kalashnikovs and skedaddle, while screaming "Run Away!".

Sarah Palin? ... is that you?
No, Sarah Palin said:

Tip the veal, try the waitress . . .
Microsoft made them a deal they could not pass up. Betting it was gobs of free licenses for all microsoft products and possibly even hardware.

and where does the drain hose go when you're at 35 Angels high in a sealed airplane?
That's easy . . . the drain hose goes into the mouth of the crying baby sitting next to you . . .
Is that too hard to put in the post, which country?
It's Liberia.

.At 11 km/s, even a mote of dust kicks more than one part of human anatomy.
So Donald Trump's idea of building a wall of tiny particles will work?
At least, at European space borders.
Send the bill to Mexico.
But if you know about computer security you already know this.
One of my colleagues, who does IT security work, told me that the biggest security threat is "the loose nut behind keyboard."
I think that sums it up quite nicely.
Is anyone actually listening to anything this fat fuck says anymore?

Me: You don't seem to like IT, but you are working in it. Why?
Him: The government told me that I could make a lot of money in IT.
Me: Are you happy in working in IT?
Him: No.
Tossing out code camp degrees massively to folks might seem to the government folks that they have increased the IT skill pool.
They are wrong.
