Will we all be riding bicycles or using public transportation or some other non-personal transportation option? Are we all destined to become herd animals?
You have bought into too much from car comercials, a car is a the ultimate herd animal, at least most of the time, except those rare occasions you drive to the beach a coast along in the turf at 90 mph.
I love traffic that's why I use a bicycle, 20 miles is ok to do by bike. You are not alone in not liking traffic from a car, there are recent studies that says that if when you are in a car you will enjoy the city less than when on foot or on a bike.
I know for a fact that Mozilla doesn't want to do that, it's stated in the project goals. The point is that it's eays to find out location without having to turn onf/have access to a GPS.
I don't have to worry, I just prepare and cook those dishes they deliver to my door/store, serisouly it's solved, AFAI can see the automatic grocery list is a long way off. We eat better and spend a lot less time on dealing with food, at least 2 hours less per week,
Things in my kitchen order by importance: 1. fridge 2. stove 3. food delivered to my apartment/store, with 4 meals. 4. running water
ECC fails in a nice way, that's why you use them, there are lots of nice graphs wround to show you why. If you want to say that ECC isn't important you need to put up some facts to support that.
That said ECC is slower, more expensive and makes vendor lock in easier,
Hadlock. Get your facts straight, my friend. The State of Sao Paulo, where I live, would still be in the G-20 if it was an independent country, with a world class infrastructure.
Maybe, even though the Sao Paulo republic has a huge amount of filthy rich people, it wouldn't survive 5 minutes in South American politics. Just saying.
What's it going to be? It's a global economy, there are people in other countries willing to do the job you won't. Sad to say but unions are effectively dead until third world countries stop working for pennies on the dollar.
Ok, Amazon can get the hell out of Europe and put up shop in Pakistan ? Myanmar ? Tajikistan ? Afghanistan ? Some god forsaken hell hole of southeast asia ? [...]. Nothing is worth destoying what good labor laws we have in the continent, most of time gained through blood and violence during the last 2 centuries.
Except I think those workers in Pakistan deserve good working conditions too. Since big companies move around so much I believe it's very important to make them treat their employees well even if they are in another country, no excuses like "we are just starting up in Pakistan and lots of people need jobs".
Wikipedia says that at 13 times the size of juptiter you get something that can ignite and you get a brown dwarf.. How that is calculated is beyond me..
Because all offline wikipedia readers require you to download the wikipedia dump, and the english wiki isn't dumped that often, and this is wiki converted to HTML with downscaled images as far as I can understand.
All phones are slow when they have been on the market for 6 months, there is no special magic pixie dust in the iPhones that makes them faster. But people still buy them, same with Androids..
While coming up with rather complex integrals in your head is nice, there is something to be said about just copy and pasting maple code until you get it right. Not saying you will be very effective but it sure helps when you have forgotten what you really should know.
Further I'm interested by the fact that there is quite a lot of talk about first amendment, but considering that Cannonical is not based in the US the perspective is alittle different. I have tried to use company logos in publications in Sweden, and it was really hard, you are not allowed to print logos without premissions. While the creator of the website might be from the US I don't know that, but I guess it's easy to check.
I guess the question is would I think the same if this was about Apple or Windows.
I use Gentoo, and find its portage system much more superior to most distro's.
While portage is a nice idea and I really support what it tries to do, it's optimzes for fiddling with it instead of using it. You need to have both, but if you don't have usablility you have a long way to go.
While I'm sure it's a good book I don't think you summary is right in anyway. First of all most bicycle accidents leading to serisou injury (at least a day in hospital) happen only to the cyclist, with no one else involved. The biggest cause of accidents is bad infrastructure and maintainance, i.e. gravel on the bicycle lane, or other surprises such as tight curves .
It's of course possible that things are completely different here in Sweden, and it's also possible to blame this on the cyclist saying that bad judgement is the cause of these accidents, but you have to put it in a perspective you do not have the same types of problems in car lanes, no one would dig a hole in the middle of the road without giving motorist lots of warning and protection. This happens quite often in bicycle infrastructure.
These are stats from Sweden 27% can be related to operation and maintenance 20% to road design 27% to cyclist-bicycle interaction 15% to the behaviour and state of the cyclist, 11% to the interaction of the cyclist with other road users

I love driving. It's traffic I hate!

What's the point of this?
So they can sell your location to advertisers?

Sound ok to me.

Are you saying that Shelob the giant spider is better than TSA.

Bah.
Some perspective when Sweden bailed out the banks in 1994 the government waited a long time to sell. It was a very good investment.
Yes... e.g. the accelerometers in laptops are considered as a joystick, the reason for this is not clear to me,

No that's what the summary tries to imply what the research says, count on research from LA being negative towards public transport.

Yeah kind of makes all of those hand waving sci-fi hacking tools look plausible.
A secure computer is a computer without power, network and Qualcomm baseband chips.

New york post publisges too much right wing crap to be called far left, may be they have a streak of red in them somewhere. Maybe.

Actually they have been paying way more than us, well at least the people who where paying their insurance/hospitalbills.
