By my math, they have 11 weeks to perfect the technology, paint it in neon colors, and market it to children so it will be ready for Marty McFly's arrival on October 21st. Good luck, Mattel...I mean Lexus.
You know, I was all set to point out that it would affect power consumption (meaning to alter it), not effect power consumption (meaning to bring it about), when it occurred to me that the usage of effect can just squeak by, provided you divide overall power consumption into discrete sections, each with its own cause.
Though it's true that those willing to actually speak out about it represent a minority of Slashdot's userbase, that doesn't mean that the many who choose to remain silent don't ALSO hate beta. To assume that those who keep their mouth shut all love beta is a BIG mistake.
If the administration really wanted to know what people think of beta they would run a poll about it. You'll notice that they are not doing this. I find this rather telling. To me, it implies that they don't actually care what we think.

If machines took all the jobs, and there were none left for humans, this would just mean that all the work was being done by machines. If machines are doing all of the work, then there is nothing being left undone, no task that is not already being completed, for if anyone needed anything else done that the machines were not already doing for them, they would attempt to hire someone to do it, which would create a job opening, which would then contradict the original premise that computers had taken all of the jobs.
So basically it's a kit to make your own drone out of any aerial craft you can get your hands on? I wonder how long before someone puts one in a full-size car...
Does anyone seriously think an LED or CFL could possibly withstand the temperatures inside an oven? They would melt the first time you used it! Only incandescents will work in there, so what do you do when the one in your oven now burns out? Feel like roasting a chicken by flashlight?
Perhaps they'll make an exception for appliance bulbs, but if they do then all we need are lamps with about 3 or 4 sockets so you can get a decent amount of light with a few appliance bulbs. Game, set, and match.
As it stands, when a whistleblower leaks government secrets to news organizations and independent bloggers, the whistleblower gets in trouble, but the news can still be reported. Once those same government secrets are copyrighted, they'll still be able to go after the whistleblower, but I expect they will then start using DMCA takedown notices against anyone reporting about the leaks because of the unlicensed duplication of portions of their data inherent in any competent reporting of it. (I know, fair use is supposed to cover things like this, but how long do you really expect that to last in the current political climate? Look at what's happening lately with game review videos on YouTube for an example.)
Then wasn't his real crime admitting to being involved? After all, until that point, it could have been someone else using his internet, or spoofing his IP, or that his computer had been compromised and made part of a botnet, etc. And it would seem obvious that the effect on the site would have been no different had he done nothing whatsoever.
The audience identifies with the genre, which stands in contrast to genericized genres.
I'm pretty sure that fans of any genre of music think that their genre is special and that all the other genres are homogenous and generic. This is not something special about heavy metal. To paraphrase Tyler Durden, heavy metal is not a beautiful or unique snowflake.
Building an exascale computer is all well and good, but we still have to find a way to power the damn thing. How will we generate the necessary 1.21 jiggawatts?
Computers are ESD sensitive, after all, so lightning is right out. Perhaps a stainless steel frame would help with the flux dispersal...
Oh, please. Don't pretend that that only options are TSA or no security at all. Back in the day, before the TSA, the airlines were handling security on their own and doing a fine job. It was a measured response, where the level of security suited the contemporary threat level. As a result, the inconvenience to travelers was less, the cost was less, and it was only paid for by people who were actually traveling by plane. Now, with the TSA, you've got airport nudity scanners and inefficient security theater all on the taxpayer dime, so you have to pay for it whether you travel by plane or not. It's worse now by every measure I can think of.
Don't forget about Star Trek: Renegades, which was funded through both Kickstarter and Indiegogo. Tum Russ ("Tuvok") is directing the pilot, and the cast looks reasonably impressive.
Because *IF* it can be developed, someone will eventually develop it, and probably sooner rather than later. Technological advances depend less on creative genius and more on previous technological advances. It's like how radar was developed simultaneously by about a half-dozen different nations, but they were all trying to keep this supposed strategic advantage secret from one another. It's not that it was a coincidence, but rather that the time was right, and the pieces were all in place.
Isn't it better to develop a quantum computer first, so that you know to stop using vulnerable forms of cryptography? Anything else is just sticking your head in the sand. Failing to develop it yourself will not stop the other guy from doing it.
This is just an example of Washington Monument Syndrome, wherein the government (or a branch of it), when faced with budget cuts, first shuts down whatever site or service will cause the most uproar. Never mind the graft, never mind the mountains of wasteful spending, just cut funding to fire departments, schools, police, whatever will get noticed and inspire outrage the fastest. The idea is to apply pressure to the taxpayers, the budget office, the ways and means committee, or whoever else is capable of deciding that they should get more money. They do this every single time.
It's exactly the same as a petulant child who, upon being told that he can only have two pieces of candy instead of five, holds his breath and stomps his feet in an effort to reverse the decision. And it's equally mature.

Furthermore, statistically we use only six core apps regularly.
I want to know where I can find these six core apps. In my experience, most apps still only use a single core, so...
You mean from an overt listening device? You could do that just by throwing a towel over it.
My favorite is called Automate by LlamaLab.
While I forget the term for superconductor levitation in a magnetic field...
The word you're looking for is diamagnetism .

Sometimes it's not easy being a grammar nazi.

He may be a fugitive from something, but it strains credulity to call it "justice".

John Oldman: "Nothing is too good for my friends."
Which did he mean? "So MUCH for our constitutional freedoms", or "So long TO our constitutional freedoms"?

I presume this means that whoever was behind the previous bitcoin story has now finished buying them up and wants their value to go back up.
I've we're going to be ridiculously nerdy and arbitrary we could all just just use seconds since the start of 1970.
Ah, but the start of 1970 in which timezone?

Answer: It's *SO* quantum that even the issue of whether or not it's quantum exists in a superposition of states!
