I see this kind of assholes every day on the street. They walk as if they were the only living beings existing on the sidewalk or in the mall, completely ignorant of what happens around them. I wonder what kind of serious defect these people have to act like that.
Hum... A few suggestions for you. The first and most fundamental is to try to prevent your ad can run any script, so even if it is malicious it will not be able to do anything, I do not believe that an ad with animations and sounds to be more effective than a simple link or a still image.
Second, you know those ads that offer X but clicking on them you are directed to Y? Avoid them as if they were radioactive. No more annoying thing for a user to click on a picture thinking it will for one thing (the download you want) and actually is redirected to something else unrelated.
Third, do not accept ads of suspicious companies like "CleanMyPC" simply not worth it. It is the main reason I block ads, advertisements that offer really suspicious programs and often try to pretend they are the links to the content I really want to see.
I'm probably being naive here, but are not putting complexity where it does not exist? If you have a book and dismantle it so far as to undo it in their atoms, I do not see how you would be able to preserve how the atoms were linked to form the book (you will have just a bunch of atoms from many elements). And why the atoms that make up the book would cease to exist if the book were swallowed by a black hole? The "book" (your atoms) would still be inside the black hole, rather than "cease to exist" he was now simply inaccessible to us.
I find interesting how your analogy of the egg is much more useful to the subject than the stupid thing to call "information" not caring about the context (thus making everyone think that the information would be something like a text message or a signal TV). Who had this stupid idea to call it "information"?
Just a thought. If the idea makes more sense if named as "energy", then why the hell call her "information"? Physicists have freak out enough in their ideas, they do not need further worsen the situation by mixing disjointed terms.
Well, look... I tryed Windows 10 at home (using a VM), tryed hard. And my honest conclusion is that the new GUI is a fucking, steaming piece of shit!! It is even worse than the ridiculous Android lollipop GUI!! Who are the asshole in charge of the visual design department at Microsoft these days? A monkey?
The code under the hood can be excellent, but the interface to interact with it is so bad that even makes my eyes bleed!
It is important to note that normally this type of agent does not care if what he is doing makes sense. What matters to him is to ensure that the lie told by his boss to be accepted as absolute truth at all costs. It's the same in my country, I live seeing people being bombarded by things so absurd that you would find that they are lobotomized, and yet they not only believe in such absurdities as still harm you if you say something against.
Sorry, but your nice "supply/demand" model goes to hell in the second the first competitor manages to form a monopoly. "Free market" is a illusion, get over it.
"First shoot down the dangerous enemies with long range AAM, then the rest with short range AAM before they get a single shot at you"
If you can. Americans "experts" always ignore that the enemy may be able to evade all its missiles or most of them, the enemy pilots will not sit around being targets.
Let's see. In most sites I visit, I noticed that most of the content is tied to ads functions or unknow "affiliate sites". Usually I count more than ten scripts whose function is unclear at least and the overwhelming majority of ads shown is in the style of "Clean My PC" shit. And still they have the courage to complain when I block mercilessly this malware vector?
In Brazil, the robot would be destroyed on the first day if left in Rio de Janeiro, maybe it would last a few days more if left in a more southern state (Parana, Santa Catarina or Rio Grande do Sul). But if I had fallen into my hands, I would have several fun days trying to make it to the destination written on it:-D
The trick is that it is almost impossible for all your consumers to use all the capacity available to them at the same time (the same thing happens during normal daytime).
At night? Of course. Better yet, at some time between midnight to 7 am. Why do you ask? The power grid capacity is sized for peak hours as there is usually no way to store the electricity generated by big power plants for later use. These peak times occur as people leave home and when they return from work. When everyone is sleeping that generation capacity becomes idle, and then It can easily be put to other uses.

Hey, you are in space. You don't need high power-to-weight ratio in space if you can mantain a tiny amount of thrust for a long enough time. What you're looking for is a source of eletric power reliable enough to run non-stop for years, but it do not need to be massive

The NYT is a very conservative journal. And conservatives hates anything that can alter the "status quo", however unlikely to be.

This. The problem is not who follow the rules, the problem is the idiots who refuse to follow the rules.
As the waspleg said, the settings to disable telemetry are a placebo, they did not really work unless you are using the Enterprise edition.
...One day I will yet be able to understand why north-americans always think they will always be connected with reliably, fast internet.

It is not ugly... Is FUCKING UGLY!

I've seen RAID groups fail sort of violently (granted in some tough environments)
:-D
Missile hit?

Will only be available in ten years, like all other revolutionary technologies that are advertising for some time.

I think this little part says more or less "we can delete/get your files if we think they infringe the DMCA or ours copyrights"...

Just a thought... Do you realize how screwed your justice system is when you can only have justice if you have a lot of money to pay for it?
