This applies to most SciFi, you'll have to accept the premise and just enjoy the movie or you'll never be able to watch anything. Hell, not just SciFi; even your average crime drama where people gets knocked unconscious without getting concussions, get knocked across a room without even bruising or a skinny little girl effortlessly beats up a huge beast of a man and then there is Iron Man who should be a can of meatball soup as many have noticed.
Everything in TV and the movies is bollocks. Just accept and enjoy.
I don't know ZFS well but was under the impression it's for file servers. How suitable is it for phones/tablets/desktops? Can somebody weigh in on this?
I've seen high RAM/CPU usage mentioned and I'm sure it wasn't built with SSD in mind.
I test drove Firefox for a few days recently, taking it through some fairly heavy testing and it seemed to do just fine, moderate memory requirements, good performance, etc. I don't use it as my daily driver but I think saying it has "gone to shit" is a brutal and unfair exaggeration.
As for Opera; given their new owners I'm not going to trust it with my data. Vivaldi may not be super pretty but it's very configurable and uses Chrome extensions, so that has replaced Chrome for me.
Indeed and around here most phones are stolen by crack-heads and the like; there's no way they'll do anything sophisticated. If they can't unlock it immediately they'll try to fob it off on somebody who doesn't realize it's locked or sell it for parts (screen).
I live in North America now but I have lived and worked in three different countries. Staying in touch with friends Internationally is free on internet based messaging apps, not so with SMS and MMS I assure you. I use Skype, WhatsApp and Google Hangouts depending on what my contacts prefer.
BTW: You use Skype but think WhatsApp is for kids - they do the same things...
One of my most hated words the last few years is "Trending". The idea that I would want to watch something just because it is currently popular upsets me. I'm not trying to be different, I just don't like to have shit pushed upon me.
I'm guessing you're referring to the US. However there are many countries where various taxes on gas are much higher, so that the dropping oil prices are felt less at the pump.
I'm running a 15" Macbook Pro C2D from 2007, no repairs. I think that's quite decent for a laptop. Might replace the hard drive with an SSD soon. I am using a newer computer for gaming though.
I think it's a logical fallacy to suggest there's only those two choices or that one one of them can be right. As for these two I have seen both happen.
Well, I imagine bigger issues are the single instruction decoder and shared L1 cache. However, as mentioned before here, AMD was completely open about this architecture and this suit should go nowhere.
I always saw Slashdot as a global site where readers will determine relevance or personal interest themselves so I think the title is fine, let readers figure out themselves whether they have a diesel Honda, Mazda, etc..
Compiling lists of countries not having one or more of these diesel cars seems like a lot of work.
Meh, people are so often binary. Unfortunately the world isn't as simple as "A is far better than B". While I prefer the way KeePass handles its data, the various browser plugins handling form data (inserting/extracting) seem much inferior to Lastpass. Using it in a browser is my main use case.
I really want to use KeePass but it'll need to be a bit smoother in browsers first. I'm sure it will be.
I think the price is very reasonable, I bought one AppleTV for $69 that I use in one room and for the other room a Raspberry Pi2 with OSMC. With all the extras (cables, 5GHz Wifi, Powered hub) the Pi2 ended up costing more but was fun to setup. I can stream movies and music to both from a Seagate NAS.
All in all I'm happy with both, they work fine with my TVs and I wouldn't call any of them expensive. I also think calling users idiots says a lot more about you than them.
I guess I'm lucky that's not a concern in my segment; embedded software. At least as far as I've experienced. Different technologies are simply tools, new or old, that are learned as needed and job finding happens just as often based on personal networks as anything, after enough years in the industry.
Good thing because most of the many excellent software engineers I've worked with does not nerd away on github after hours; they spend time with their children or spouse, go to the pub, play sports, etc. A lot of them don't care one way or another about open source either. If excited about the work we put in overtime, making hobbyist projects at home even less likely, though they do occur - of course there are exceptions to everything...
Oh the intolerance, you sound like a Redditor... Speaking of which; I dislike the rampant abuse of car analogies when your position is easily explained/understood, even if it is a popular practice here.
Anyway, I know about SpaceShipOne, Rutan and how feathering works but I don't mind the occasional re-post because sometimes I miss posts and sometimes something is just cool and I enjoy being reminded of it years later. If I'm not interested, I scroll past it. As long as re-posts are not flooding the site I'm happy. Why fuss?!
Mhmm, those assumptions are clouding the issue: you can easily put the Windows swapfile on any partition of your choice and have swapfiles on multiple partitions if that tickles your fancy. You can created a partition just for the swapfile if you want and years ago it was popular among enthusiasts getting a fast dedicated HDD just for the windows swapfile - before we all started putting gigantic amounts of RAM in our boxes.
But whatever difference the two approaches have between them in performance it's probably negligible compared to the penalty of using swap in the first place, in many cases anyway if not all.

Ugh, Finger. I had a girl sleeping over, her husband "fingered" her university account and saw her last login had been after midnight from my place.
A lot of fingering happened that night. Next morning there was music to face.
Sometimes the dinosaurs are awakened, briefly.
Same. I also bought a Vero2 to support the project, they're good people and they were very happy when I submitted a few fixes.
OSMC even supports the old AppleTV for those who dislike throwing away perfectly good devices.
I have an RPi2 running OSMC in one room and a Vero2 (I bought to support the project) in another room.
They read the media stored on a NAS.

Consider that others have actual use cases that doesn't apply or appeal to you.
I'm quadriplegic, I love being able to control everything from my phone.
Also enjoy little things such as switching on heating 30 min before I arrive home so it's nice and toasty when I arrive.

The anti Apple anything circlejerk is alive and well I see.
