It controls the heating system in one of our buildings. Until we need to replace the system or the computer dies, we have never found a good reason to replace it. It's not internet connected. Unless someone busts down the door because they're tired of wearing a sweater in the A/C, I see no valid reason to move to a more secure system.
It happens to all technologies. Someday the Internet will be replaced with something better, and people will begin to abandon that old fashioned technology.
Then we can station troops in peoples homes here in the US. That way we can keep an eye on everyone and prevent crime, movie piracy, terrorism or whatever.
I used to work on the system which keep track of Navy flight records. We had to modify it to handle Navy personnel flying on the Space Shuttles. The system only allowed for 99.9 hour flight legs. Since shuttle flights were longer than 100 hours, we had to modify the system to handle them differently if the aircraft was one of the space shuttles. Talk about getting in your flight hours.
Google makes a search engine for each country. France wants results removed from other countries versions of Google, not just the French one. You can access the Irish version of Google from France if you want to.
Not showing up in Google does not remove it from the Internet. Make requests to the hosting site for removal. Then it won't show up in any search engine.
Google is allowed to censer whatever it wants. The company has its own right to do that. The difference is being forced to do it. A search engine that returns nothing is pretty useless, so they want to return as much as possible.
In this replacement Earth we're doing, I've been given Africa to do and, of course I'm doing it with all fjords again because I happen to like them and I'm old-fashioned enough to think they give a lovely 'Baroque' feel to a continent, and they tell me it's not equatorial enough. What does it matter? Science has achieved some wonderful things, I know! But I'd far rather be happy than right any day.

From now on, I'm going to buy my towel at Marks and Spencer. Because I'm one of those guys who really knows where his towel is.
Lets all start making posts denying the existence of Germany. Is that also against German law?
Canadian nuclear accidents are polite and civilized. There is no way one would be so obnoxious as to actually cause anyone cancer.
If it doesn't include a sub-woofer, it's just not worth it.

IBM will finally find a use for OS/2, as a mobile OS to replace Android!
It took Firefox forever to get to 4. Now we are at 40. How soon until 400?

It's the far side of the Moon. Unless you launch some kind of huge mirror, we are not going to be able to see it directly from Earth.
/. needs a "like" button.

Sounds real good.
Yes, that annoys the shit out of me.

Yeah, they should get rid of the buses and have everyone go back to driving cars.
Right! The inventor, a Brit in New York City, called it the "Electric Device." We all need to go back to the original name.
No one has gotten streaming one machine to another to work anywhere near as well as just running on native hardware.
No, just two left feet.
Can we get a round of applause?
But the pictures are purdy!
