Tesla does a good deal of spot welding on 5000 and 6000 Aluminum for their S and X. Do you think Ford is evaluating Tesla's joining methods for future Aluminum projects? (ie F-150 is 100% riveted, replacing some rivets to spot welds will shave weight and production costs) Hell, maybe they just want to see the friction stir weld on the battery tray.
In principle, I am fine with the basic idea of systemd. I don't like the specific execution (binary logs? WTF?) and political maneuvering to put this into Debian mainstream and forces the users to use systemd. If systemd only replaced init, I would be more accepting but it forces you to also install all of its accompanying daemons. Replacing one part of the system? fine, sure. Replacing everything between the user space and the kernel? fuck no. Especially not from the project manager that so successfully managed PulseAudio.
I am an Ubuntu and Debian user. I am not excited by systemd. If I had a vote, it would be no. Not that I don't want systemd developed, but I would like it as a drop in replacement of init V, not a replacement of init and the forced replacement of the kitchen sink, stove, oven, counter top, refrigerator, floor, cookware, silverware, garage, patio, wall hangings, and spouse.
If I were to make a car analogy, I am replacing the old traditional key ignition with newer key-less FOB system. However, to make the upgrade happen, I have to replace the battery, the wiring, the computer, the dash, the steering column, the power steering system, electric windows and door lock controls, the air bags, seat belts, tires, fuel filter, and exhaust. And from that day forth, I will have to fill the fuel tank with certified organic peanut oil. Why? Well, cause it will make my car start faster. Isn't it amazing? The A/C and radio will start in parallel with the engine. I should be thankful.
Every attacker is accounting for swapped 'e's and '3's, folks, that doesn't help.
I've moved on from the common 1337 substitution in my passwords and started substituting my QWERTY keyboard with a Dvorak keyboard. When it's time to change passwords again, I'll get a Cyrillic keyboard.
It is a mix between lazy, multitasking, and getting diverted. Usually I'll get on the PC for a half an hour to an hour to look up something or just read some news. Before I am finished, I get called away to take care of some non-computer things. (It seems to happen a lot when you have a wife and small kids.) And then it will be a few days before I get back to the computer; I will need to reference something again, so I will open new tabs or windows because I didn't finish what I was looking at before. After a few months, you've managed to accumulate hundreds of tabs. Bookmarks might be a good solution, but I'd have to be motivated to bookmark a few hundred tabs. And then I'd have to manage the bookmarks.
My point was a single page with some crappy javascript can bog down any PC, regardless of its age. It's also a well used infection vector. I'd hate to have one of my favorite sites so entrenched in javascript that I can no longer read it without disabling noscript. I will find it aggravating if/. laments the woes of javascript and preaches of its dangers and yet require me to enable it.
Its an Athlon from 2006, running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with 5 firefox windows--each with ~20 tabs, a dozen chrome windows also with ~20 tabs each, usually something open in wine, a few terminal windows, and who knows what the hell else. I don't tend to close windows, and thus javascript, java, and firefox tend to give me issues. Chrome tends to fail a little more gracefully.
I'd love it if Slashdot felt functional in lynx. I would love to read it through ssh at work on my windows laptop.
Since there's some constructive comments here, I'd like to add my own:
NO JAVASCRIPT!!!
Sorry for shouting, but I have old PCs at home that choke on javascript. I'd rather not resort to viewing/. through noscript if I can avoid it because I understand ad revenues are import to funding/.
At least have a light version for alternative browser like lynx as many users don't have access to graphical browsers where they work.
I have said device. I call her wife. My previous device was called mother. She did all the wife could do, except she had difficulties communicating with the home computer and detecting odors.
How long until this becomes a malware feature too? I like what this guy is doing to ensure the x86 platform stays open, but who doesn't see malware loading its own keys?
The only reason I haven't jumped ship already is that most of the alternatives have been violently Twitterized. I'm determined to think in full paragraphs. I just can't wait for the headline "Generation Z rediscovers the paragraph." Maybe if I'm lucky--and live long enough to see it--the paragraph will become retro cool.
Generation Z will never discover the paragraph. The closest they will come is strings of phrases and cliches loosely related to the same topic or train of thought. Generation Z perceives paragraphs as well as structured thought as work and therefore must be avoided. As you have observed, people adopt language use from their environment, and the fine literary, theatrical, and music arts which they have been exposed to include text messaging, Harry Potter, teenager sitcoms on Disney/Nick/ABC family, Hannah Montana and Lady Gaga--all of which can be published on twitter with little comprehension lost.
As for the recent editorial quality, I blame new management and the lack of cApiTaL punishment. It'd be nifty if trolls and trollish stories were punished by having their posts all capitalized via moderation, for example, every down vote causes another letter get capitalized. I know I'd gloss over articles and posts written in all caps. But it'd also be nifty if trolls were lynched.
I like how you think. Here are a few more I'd like to see that fit in the same vain:
1. Turkey, fishing pole, CBR suit, shallow spent fuel rod pool. 2. Tesla coil turkey. 3. Termite stuffing. 4. Re-entry turkey. 5. Hot aisle turkey. 6. Pavo para Plantar Solar 10 (Turkey from PS10). 7. Diffused turkey wafers. (I wonder if you could layer some stuffing traces...) 8. Turkey diamonds (if you can make diamonds from peanut butter, then why not turkey?)
What are you talking about? According to your reasoning, I must believe 99% of the country is wrong. I can't imagine that I cannot find commonality with 99% of Americans.
Perhaps it is ignorance, single issue voters, stereotypes, and assuming absolute political polarity is what is wrong with American politics. In an actual discussion, I believe most voters could agree with some of the R's arguments just as voters could agree with some of the D's arguments. I doubt that the majority of voters stand firmly on political lines for all issues. I am disappointed to see that neither party is willing to field a presidential candidate that is willing to break party lines in a major way.
I owned a Windows phone and I hated it. I hated it so much I replaced it with a blackberry. I don't care how awesome the next Windows phone will be, I'm not buying another one.
I wish I had your calculator. Rouge hackers with physical access can cause a DOS attack by install masking tape over my calculator's solar cell and thus prevent useful operations until the tape is physically removed.
so you're saying I should get my own 900 number (US based number). It could work. Have a prompt like "by staying on the line, you agree to pay $50 a minute. If you do not agree, press 5 now." At the right price I'd enjoy receiving robocallers.

It is about the size of a Honda Civic muffler after the car has been converted into a rice rocket.
I personally like to take my latin american and McAffee news with a pinch of salt, a shot of tequila, and a slice of lime.
Some key features were degraded when upgrading from girlfriend to the wife license. However, all the features listed in the OP remained.

My previous device was called mother. She did all the wife could do, except she had difficulties communicating with the home computer and detecting odors.
I'm worried that if you tell Republicans there's oil in asteroids, they'd try to have them delivered to Texas.
Would that mean the president would have to stop wearing USA pins?

Etherkiller, is that a power cord with the female end wired to a RJ45? I was wondering why my predecessor made that cable.

That's where Japan is hiding its forty-meter battle robots, Godzilla, and crashed alien spaceships.

Do you mean to say Slippery Slope is proof by induction?
NO! Let me have my fantasy that JarJar was killed when Palpatine dissolved the Senate. Painfully, horrifyingly, and completely dissolved.
