    There are also quite a few companies that insert clauses into your hiring agreement stating that things you invent while employeed by them (and are related in anyway to your employment) are theirs. Most people don't notice/read them.

    That's just the initial report of 57 studies man. They aren't conclusive. That number could jump up 50% of what it is in the future. Is that REALLY worth it?

    Makes you chuckle doesn't it. This is outrageous how much trash these mega companies have had passed for Laws in states. I hope they are all invalidated and have to suck it.

    the chances are minuscule but collisions do occur out there in the Universe, and if one came our way and we had no tools like the Teller-Ulam designs, we'd be sitting ducks.

    Do you have any idea how dangerous that would be to fire a nuclear bomb at an incoming asteroid? What does the Hydrogen bomb have to do with it?

    I'm going to guess the complexity of the things they are doing are so vast, shutting them down could produce immediate results showing how you lost actionable intel that would have stopped XYZ idiot from hurting XYZ group/person/people. I’m sure it took less an hour or two to bring the President up to speed on what would be lost and it was a quick, easy decision

  8. The Jurors would gloss over after 30 seconds. The average person doesn't have the background to even build a shaky foundation to understand how you speak Tor.

  9. It would be really neat if they solicited jurors from Slashdot....imagine how that would go. Then imagine the bias that might help them win the case...so much imagining could be done

    Very interesting points you make. I never realized that myself but that is what I look for in an OS as well. It's amazing that people wouldn't be given the option to remove things like this:

    I don't want your OS to respond to voice commands, I don't want it to automatically sync my files, I don't want push notification apps.

    Or on install the option to choose power user with a huge array of things to customize/add/remove/etc.

    Things like this make me wonder how "scientists" can report that nuclear energy is the safest/best option with the greatest return.

    There was an article here (a few days ago) or in the news about this and how dirt/dangerous other energy sources are to the earth but I can't find the snippet now

    Interesting you post that, I was just on the hunt for a laptop for my mother...all of those brands have failed in the past.

    They slow degrade and then eventually just act like they are infested with malware due to overheating. Sometimes even just shutting down from the temps.

    I'm curious if this technology could cause people who are sensitive to SAR radiation have the same issue. I've known a few people who would get pretty severe head aches from using certain cell phones.

  20. Neil Won't be happy. on Space Policy Guru John Logsdon Has Good News and Bad News On NASA Funding · · Score: 1

    Neil Degrass Tyson won't be happy about this. He has been talking about the need for increased funding since the Clinton adminstration. And not just from states with special interest groups/senators with facilities in their state supplying jobs. I remember in a recent video he said he's tried all he can (and sounded like he was giving up) to get interest to go up and make the people want for more exploration. Sad no one listened to him.

    Interesting that they both use the same supplier for their critical component and are competing products....I'm guessing neither have enough money to build their own production labs like Apple did with that special glass they use. Imagine how amazing they would be as a joint company.

  22. Corrupts Video files on iOS 8 Review · · Score: 1

    Beware Ipod Touch/Phone 5th Gen users if you add your own .mp4 files (movies/videos/pron/whatever) and don't purchase shows to watch on your devices. The IOS 8 update has corrupted the video files for myself and 3 other friends of mine. No music affect at the moment. Also video files are now limited in their description to 18 characters when viewing them in their list form that shows up when you go to videos. So now for me, videos show up for example as : The.Daily.Show.201... and can not be look at further before opening them.

    I'm hoping that stupid message Hulu developed gets bypassed by adblock plus. Let the website 'think' it ran the script/video of whatever ad (maybe even in its own minimized, muted, ignored window) and continue with your real content.
