Because television told them it was so.
Aluminium reactions are the most dense and lightest way to store and transport energy, if you don't use nuclear or antimatter.
I don't get it. Why would they do that? It's self-foot-shooting in the short run, and desperation in the long run. Its my understanding that better alternatives exist, for free.
To tell the government what they already know. Obviously they know the effect this will have on schools, that's why they invented the tests in the first place.
which is somewhere between intensely stupid and intentionally misleading.
That's where you'll find every single "news" story that sells itself on sensationalism, and sadly that category of news is more and more prevalent from slashdot, as it is from broadcast television. Click-bait.
Milk is profitable still. So are eggs. Trust me, everything that matters will remain fairly profitable. Governments will guarantee it.
Not only do I disagree, governments are specifically involved to manipulate the markets for milk and eggs and make small-players unable to compete. Not only does profit not need to matter anymore, neither does money, nor governments. Economics, government regulation, and even profits aren't changing their tunes fast enough to keep up with technology today. It will outpace and outstrip them all for usefulness. 5 Years is my estimate.
We have the workorders for that installation of this program. This is not news. The documents garnishing further proof is "of interest" at best. Slashdot going down hill like the Roman Empire and the American Hegemony.
You've heard of the US? Then you understand that you don't need to break any of their laws for them to try to use justice against you. They'll make something up and the media will run with it, and all the people there will agree with the grandstanding politicians and you will disappear into a hole where no one can find you, because it's underground and the tiny entrance is guarded by soldiers in plain clothes who don't know what is below.
I notice it. But I copy and recopy old data to multiple devices and different forms of media (ie optical) there's lots of losses and errors all over the place. After a few copies and years of storage things happen. I've even noticed two different TV series having blocks of data mixed between them. Odd color-shifted scenes from the wrong series interspersed into another that was copied with it. It's not a silly claim; what's silly is you trying to refute it with no evidence.
I suspect that what we see here is a problem that is very common in the consumer hardware industry: manufacturers don't bother testing under any OS other than Windows, which means bugs that do not manifest under Windows go undetected. It's a problem most often seen in ACPI interfaces, where Windows has a very loose interpretation of the standards. So long as it runs fine on Windows, it's considered good enough to ship.
Sounds like the old internet exploder market share standards hijacking. Typical microsoft. If computer users were like navies of countries, and corporations like M$ were private ships, we'd all refer to it as the Titanic of Infotech. Or the Lusitania. Sunk.
I went this route after taking 1 year of loans. It took 10 years of defaulting and seized tax refunds to pay it off. Getting paid to study beats being a starving student and paying to study any day, any subject. Get cert, use it as a safety net, do anything you want: business ventures, self-employed projects, more school.... anything you want. Run out of money? Back to work with your cert or trade qualification. Simple. Easy. Why don't they teach this concept in school? Because then colleges and universities would go bankrupt.
This is News? People defaulting on student loans. I think you're preaching to the choir bud. It's not fucking news get it the fuck off slashdot and if there's anyone not smart enough to figure this out reading this site, please jam sewing pins in your eyeballs right now.

You might think no one wants to see that but...
Probably they just want to take stats of when and how often.

This opinion has been expressed many times, years ago. Good old slashdot for reporting old crap, yet again.
At all.
Yaaayyyy!
I have seen yesterday's game come on the screen when first booting into some environments. Data remains. For a long time.
I am so happy :'D

Prove it.
Use lambda calculus.
I'll wait.
As soon as they release drivers that function.

They crippled performance on platter drives too. 10.6 booted way faster than 10.10 launched apps faster, played games faster, browsed web faster.

What's more, windows will allow you to get the same amount of work done with a legit CPU as with a dead rat in that slot.

Yes. Overbuy and oversell your cloud hosting! Then when the bottom falls out of that market I can profit.
Yes. WiFi encryption is so secure that no one with a laptop or phone with a free software program on it can break into it. Especially for drones.
Like someone else posted, I don't think it's the "skin effect" that causes this. That's a little different. But everything else is pretty spot on.
