SeaFile is OwnCloud (which are both basically DropBox), except, Sea is a play-on for C programming language (and some Python). So it's way fast. OwnCloud is written in PHP and you get what you pay for in performance as a result.
No, having control over your transport is a core component of suburban lifestyle. I think you'll find most humans in most cities do NOT own a car, globally it is way less than one car per household. That's cool that you like your car, but you're in the minority for owning one.
The original iPhone was $599 in 2007. That's $698 adjusted for inflation. How would you say the smart phone market is doing these days? Did you know you can buy a smart phone now for under $100?
There are hoardes of first adopters for this product, and I think everyone knows that the price will come down over time. You can probably expect to see DK2 quality devices out of China starting in 2017, 2018 at the latest. I don't think anyone expects the price to stay static at over $500. The first sub-$400 headset will probably sell quite well.```
When it's 2am in the bad part of Budapest (or Prague, or Bratislava, or Rome... or Bogota, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janiro, etc etc etc), you're a little too tipsy and you're not sure how to get home, it's REALLY nice to be able to turn on Google Maps and navigate you back to your hotel. 2G internet has helped me out of a jam in many a cities, many a hemispheres, many a timezones. It may be slow but at least it works when I need it to.
Morocco is run by a Monarchy. Extremely powerful leaders make megaprojects like this a lot easier to steam roll over environmental studies/protests etc. Makes land aquisition, rezoning, funding etc etc a lot easier with a royal decree.
We don't even have our own astronaut training program any more. We pay the Russians to do that too. All American astronauts have to learn to read Russian and speak some, and the Russians have us so tightly wound around their finger that we're doing Astronaut training in Russian occupied Ukrainian Crimea, for Christ's sake. We're squatting on the mostly abandoned shell of what's left of our space program that is the ISS but NASA has already formally announced we're abandoning the ISS in less than 10 years. We launch in Russian spacecraft on Russian rockets and dock on the Russian side of the space station. We're basically tourists on our own space station. That's nothing to be proud of or brag about.
China is also dumping US 1960's-style money in to scientific research and development. Of the three major space-faring countries, China, Russia, and the USA, you'll note that only China and Russian currently have manned spaceflight programs.
China has also built the largest ground recieving dish in the world, out-doing the one in Puerto Rico by a factor of almost two.
China is rocking the 1960s American Science Research meme so hard it hurts.
Meanwhile, American politicians are arguing about whether or not climate change is real, and we slot somewhere between countries like Latvia and Lithuania in Science globally. Hong Kong, (china), Singapore, and Japan are #1,2,3 globally, if you were curious.
That is an urge control issue, like gambling. If it wasn't video games it would have been one of any other endless list of vices. Maybe if we holed everyone up in plastic bubbles with filtered air, we'd all go to harvard some day. Your argument has no place in the violent video games debate, go away.
Tons of interesting stuff in that link, totally off topic, but details about rewriting win32 kernel with full unicode support as a realtime OS for Windows CE:
I do in fact know a little about Windows CE! from what I remember, it's a much simpler, cleaner design. its Win32 is a rewrite of a subset (for one: Unicode only, no ANSI), and the kernel is a hard realtime microkernel with some cool, unique features: for example, inter-process calls temporarily moved the calling thread to the server process, no roundtrips, no memory copies. this could only work because Windows CE had a single address space shared by all processes. this limited Windows CE to 4 GB of physical memory, but it was a necessity because it had to work on machines without a MMU. the fixed address space also limited Windows CE to 15 processes, don't know why so few (not threads though, you could create as many threads as would fit in memory, and you had 256 priority levels to choose from instead of Windows NT's meager 15)
this was until Windows CE 5. Windows CE 6 is a much more boring kernel, with separate address spaces and drivers running in kernel mode
It's probably an R2 feature, so right, 2018. I can't possibly see them shoe horning something as foundational as SSH in to Windows at the last minute and expecting it to be secure and with low overhead.
Yeah nearly one in five employees works in sales. Probably another one in five works in management in some capacity, and another one in five works in support roles, leaving you with perhaps 200 engineers? That's still a lot of engineers, but at 4 engineers per team that's 50 products or product segments they can focus on.
If you're using something like CoreOS with systemd, you can spin up the database in a cluster of nodes, and something like fleetctl will spin up the database again on another node if you lose that node. If you write your database container correctly, then it will look for existing db containers in the node cluster and spin itself up as a secondary database, attaching to the primary and allowing you to spin up and down database capacity as needed, sort of your own ec2 system that can adjust itself based on load.
Docker is Cloud 2.0 and is the biggest generational/watershed/great leap for IT since VMs.
Even Microsoft offers docker compatibility with their new NanoServer images.
This is The One Way Forward.
There's one guy working on a project called Atom/Atomic/Atome or something, which is basically your app compiled in to an OS container, instead of being built on top of an OS container, but still responding similar to a docker container.
In the mean time there are Linux Distros like RancherOS that let you basically run and build a server installing containers like apps. Your other option at the moment is Dokku which is sort of a Docker implementation of Heroku.
Docker is a Big Fucking Deal in Silicon Valley right now and while everyone is experimenting with Docker containers in 2016, everyone who is Anyone will be deploying their product at least in some channels using Docker in 2017.
I would really like support for the [s] strikethrough tag [/s]. I sent off an email to feedback@slashdot.org almost four years ago to the day:
Are you guys ever going to implement strikeout ( [s] strikeout [/s] ) HTML tag support for slashdot? Or [strike] tag? As the average age of slashdot continues to hover around 22 (I think?) the old say somethin^H^H^H^H joke is going over more and more people's heads. Many online sites now support the [s] strikeout tag, tag. I realize it's technically depreciated in the 4.0 spec, but all the major browsers support it.
And two days later imagine my suprise when I got back this reply(!) from Vladyslav K. at geek.net:
Hi [hadlock],
Thanks for reaching out to us, I just checked the specs and don't see why we should not support it, it's redefined but still probably in proper context.
I created a ticket for this to be addressed.
Thanks,
Vlad
So... A) did that ticket ever get created? and B) will you please implement it?
I don't care if the fine money goes to ISIS, better them than telemarketers allowed to roam free in parks where there are unattended children. Bastards.
As a bicyclist commuter, I'm looking forward to that day. If it could come yesterday that would be great.
A guy blew through a red light and killed my buddy Bryan from high school who was riding his motorcycle through his green light on Friday and killed him. Although it's possible there could be a software glitch that would cause the computer to do the same thing, it's not likely.
Five months ago a drunk driver ran a red light and ran over my friend Deb who was crossing at the crosswalk along a bike path she uses to get to and from work. She survived, but spent two days in the hospital and only last month was able to get on a bicycle again.
I think post CRS-7 mission, all Dragon capsules are capable of performing an emergency soft landing in the event of booster failure. Second stage anything recovery isn't really on the drawing board for another 18 months at least, at this point.
The barge is required for recovery after GTO. You can only do a return-to-launchpad for lightweight GEO deliveries. Lightweight GEO deliveries will require the barge, as will heavy GEO deliveries. Return to launchpad is going to be pretty rare, typically only for end-of-life rockets running high risk or lightweight payloads. Just a guess but I'd say 70%+ of recoverable launches will be on a barge.
You must have missed the youtube video of cleetus out in Kentucky building a car battery the size of a can of Spam out of six D-cell ultracapacitors for under $100.
People screamed - SCREAMED against the DART light rail in Dallas. It was built anyways, and it met it's 5 year ridership goal inside the first year. Since then it's continued to grow (we have over 100 miles of light rail now) and they're upgrading more and more of the 2 car trains to 3 car trains to meet demand, and about to break ground on a second route through downtown. This was the same city, where 15 years ago if you did not own at LEAST one SUV, it was considered a social black mark. Bicycle transport within 1.5 miles of DART has skyrocketed and now we have seperated bike lanes, paved bike routes through parkland, etc.
Houston has been slightly more reluctant to build out public transit, but they are the petrochemical capital of the world, and also several times more sprawly, so they are going to fall behind somewhat.

My phone lasts for days sipping from 2G or Wifi. It goes about half a day on 4G.
What is the battery life expected for a 5G device?
Is 5G in the US the same as 5G in Europe/Asia/Wherever? Because my 2G works f-cking everywhere, it's great.

You can set most cars to charge late at night when power is cheapest (due to low demand). There is no capacity issue. At all.
