Boeing doesn't play fair, and they would just hate to be upstaged by an upstart, when they've gotten fat off of sucking the federal tit forever. Expect some unexpected developments, either in the media or on some legislative subcommittee or both, to try to slow Elon down.
Still running a $60 Abit AMD board with the original Phenom. The sound circuits said their goodbyes after 8 years and the memory training has become very slow with all sockets full, but the latest Window 10 still works with the storage controller in IDE mode.
I am in almost the same position but the only thing which has failed on my system are two power supplies and one video card. I am still running an almost 10 year old ASUS M3A78-T (2008) with a Phenom II 940 (2009) and I have no complaints. I am in the process of building a Ryzen system to replace it.
My previous Asus P4C800-E Deluxe with Intel Pentium4 2.4C still works fine also and I am in the process of refurbishing it for use as a file server. My even older Abit BX6 Revision 2 which currently has a 1.2GHz P3 is also fully functional and serves as my Windows XP and ISA legacy system.
The only thing unusual about all of these systems which they share in common is more than sufficient air cooling and ECC memory.
The only motherboards I have had fail are even older ones which use embedded lithium batteries for the CMOS memory and clock and each one with an nVidia chipset.
The manufacturers' support phone lines are clogged the next day with calls Help, I forgot my password! and they are asked when their birthday was, in reply. Or the name of their first pet.
Conveniently, the password recovery help line is the same phone number as the California Assembly.
I too an uncomfortable with mandates to use GFCIs in the kitchen and bathroom, carry gasoline in approved containers, not leave my keys in a running car when I go to the store, and all the rest
I just honestly don't know how an of us can even live our lives with all this oppressive big government evil hanging over you at all times. This password policy is just another stop on the inevitable march to tyranny.
I suggest not mocking based on the complete fuck-up that EPA approved fuel containers which originated from California are. It undermines your point and then some.
I wonder if fuel cells or flow batteries could be suitable for long distance air travel. I have difficulty imaging a 75 million watt nominal fuel cell or flow battery light enough for an aircraft but apparently some do exist at least as prototypes.
Kerosene is the current oil supply chain bottleneck. Doesn't matter if we cut down use of other oil distillates. Planes need the kerosene, and you get a very specific amount of kerosene from oil that doesn't vary to a significant degree between various oils.
That means that even if we were to say cut our use of gasolene, we can't afford to refine less oil, because growing civil aviation needs more kerosene. If we can actually generate kerosene from this process with any kind of meaningful cost effectiveness, we stand to benefit tremendously from less need to refine oil.
The amount of kerosene produced does not rely only on the kerosene fraction from the crude petroleum. For instance if we needed less gasoline, then the processing would be changed from fluid catalytic cracking to hydrocracking to produce more kerosene at the expense of gasoline. Other process changes would also be made to favor kerosene.
Does quantum encryption solve the key escrow problem? Or would not implementing key escrow be necessary for that?
After what happened with BlackBerry, why would I trust anything they say or do? They are as trustworthy as RSA which is to say, not trustworthy at all.
I suppose this is where definitions start getting a bit muddy due to scale.
However are they certain there aren't binary planets? I mean if you can have binary stars that orbit each other around a central pivot, why not planets as well? Again didn't rtfa so I don't know how massive the planet is to it's "moon", which I assume is how this might be defined at least for orbitary (word?) purposes...
There is no agreed upon definition for binary planets. Under some definitions, the Earth-Moon system counts because the Sun exerts a greater force on the Moon than the Earth does. If the barycenter definition is used, then the Earth-Moon system will become a double planet in a few hundred million years.
How the hell is it the DEA's responsibility to monitor driving speeds?
If they are going faster than the speed limit, then that is probable cause to stop and search the vehicle for drugs. If they are going slower than the speed limit, then that is probable cause to stop and search the vehicle for drugs. If they are going at the speed limit, then that is probable cause to stop and search the vehicle for drugs.
That is true, but the question is do you have a right to privacy (not being tracked) as you drive? I personally think you do not have a right to any privacy while in public spaces (like roads), but I can see the argument for it and most people think of it as a right.
The USSC cases United States versus Jones and Carpenter versus United States have some bearing on this. Neither decision relied on the mosaic theory of the Fourth Amendment but a future case involving ubiquitous surveillance which undermines a general expectation of privacy might and there appears to be some support for it.
Swatting doesn't happen because the police bring WMDs for a drug arrest. It happens because evil people lie and say that something that justifies a huge response is really going on.
Does it happen because law enforcement's rules of engagement encourage killing an unarmed and nonthreatening man in his doorway? And what prompted those rule of engagement? Was it the drug war?
Nicely put about the US but... Have you ever been to Mexico or Argentina? I've never seen a bomb detector in a McDonald's in my life. Mexico's said to be dangerous near the border, but in Mexico City I saw nothing like what you describe, not even in Acapulco. Also, Mexico's violence is predominantly related to drug traffic and plain old crime (kidnappings too).
How much traveling did you do in Mexico? After driving through military checkpoints every couple hundred miles to get lectured about how the US Constitution does not apply and searched, I hope to never visit Mexico again. People who fly to the various tourist destination never see this.
What if I built a product on your GPL code and you decided to retroactively change the license? You can change it going forward, but not backward. I don't know any court that would allow changing licenses retroactively to happen.
For instance what if the contributor discovered that the project was being run by Hitler and this would severely damage the reputation of the contributor if their code was not withdrawn?
Facebook can be required to take "reasonable" steps to execute the warrant, and be reimbursed for those steps.
If Facebook convinced a judge that it was unreasonably difficult to provide a live tap of the conversations, that may explain why they won this court challenge.
A warrant by itself cannot require Facebook to do anything other than collect and turn over data. Absent some other statute, the All Writs Act might be used to force Facebook to change their systems but the government so far has not wanted to risk an adverse decision on that.
Now, choke your pride and thank Pai, because net neutrality, Obama style, brought CALEA to your ISP.
ISPs have had to abide by CALEA and facilitate lawful intercept access since 2004; it has been a major pain for small ISPs. Bill Clinton signed CALEA into law in 1994.
First of all Intel has quite enough money to screw up their manufacturing on purpose without hurting too badly. Now, combine that with them "compensating" for this "shortfall" by buying manufacturing capacity from TSMC as seen in other news. The very same TSMC which is otherwise a major supplier for AMD.
Now, there's a nice anti-competitive mix which could prove quite deadly for AMD, all while providing all the necessary deniability for Intel.
Intel's 10nm process (essentially the same as other company's 7nm processes) is late and processors which were suppose to be produced on 10nm are late with it creating unanticipated demand on their 14nm process. The situation is bad enough that some newer Intel south bridges have been produced to older processes to free up capacity at 14nm.

Range safety is very important.

Yes, I can recommend another manufacturer, AMD.
They can ship a default password, as long as it requires you to change it when you log on.
The part I consider funny about this is all of the devices which will end up with their password changed to "password".
The manufacturers' support phone lines are clogged the next day with calls Help, I forgot my password! and they are asked when their birthday was, in reply. Or the name of their first pet.

I wonder what the unintended consequences will be.
Internet connected devices with default passwords will cause cancer.

Probably a capture. But it's the density of the host planet - ten times Jupiter's - that is really interesting and being largely ignored.
Larger gas giants have greater densities so appear smaller than their mass would suggest.
Capture requires a significant third body.

Around here most people try and get the high score when passing one of those electronic speed signs.
How are the shots counted? By caliber? Closest to the center? Tightest group?

Minimum mandatory sentences have never helped stop crime. Not once. They have made a lot of money for corporate ran prisons, but that's another topic.
Mandatory minimum sentences for the phone company executives who continue to allow this system insecurity to exist would stop this crime.
$2 per gallon. It's hard to justify installing expensive solar panels, when they can just burn gasoline instead.
Think of the opportunity cost instead. How much would they make selling the gasoline to others instead of burning it themselves.

If any court allowed you to retroactively change a license or contract it would destabilize everything.
A court might not enforce a contract due to the public policy exception.

uTorrent did around version 1.8 IIRC. That is when I stopped using it.
I thought the last good version of uTorrent was 2.2.1 build 25302.
I'm pretty suspicious about this "shortage".
