My home data center is a single frankenPC that I made from an old chassis, a mainboard that has integrated Intel Atom CPU, PCI RAID card and 4 HDDs. It's running Ubuntu Server. It works well enough, Linux manages the RAID and emails me when drives are failing, it has a transmission-deamon which is a torrent client with web interface, it also runs Sickbeard that downloads tv episodes automatically for me. The box also does and stores backups of my other computers AND web servers. I have gigabit ethernet at my home and the box can saturate it (although I use WD Red drives which are not that fast).
Also, the whole setup grabs just 35W of power (it takes about 24W when I spin HDDs down, but I don't think they like it, so I don't do it).
One - shit obviously happens in closed source world, Windows has a looong security history for instance. Security by obscurity is not something that will work.
Two - if you are so much afraid of IoT, just don't plug your toaster to your WiFi. If someone does that, they open themselves to sliced bread attacks on their own peril. You are not forced to do so.
Does such tanker have to be fast and/or work day and night? I could imagine one solar- and wind- powered. A fleet of such tankers might clean up the ocean slowly but steady, providing a constant "stream" of plastic fuel.
What about the freedom of hundreds of employees to feel uncomfortable working for someone who is advocating against you?
I'm sorry, but this is just the way life is. You don't always work for nice people and if it bothers you -- usually YOU switch jobs, not them.
In my opinion, Eich stepping down is quite honorable even though I might not agree with his world view.
I second ownCloud. It's got a decent dropbox-like desktop syncing tool, too.
Just buy a cheapo VPS or root server somewhere, install ownCloud and be done.
"declining quality of the Linux desktop"? Funny, I've been using Linux as my main desktop OS since 2004 and I've noticed a tremendous betterment of its quality over these years.
I'd love an online service that I'd charge occasionally with some money and when I go to a site that pays its bills via ads, it is paid from my account that $0,001 and all the ads are hidden.
Since no one seems to want my money enough to come up with a solution like that -- I keep using AdBlock. I won't buy anything because of those ugly ads, anyway.
I don't think they have just one monopoly product. Sure, search is huge. But what about Android. What about advertisement potential of data gathered through Analytics. What about Apps and App Engine? Or even the infamous Plus. They have numerous products that are quite successful and that not all of their products are like that? It's a good thing they're trying new ideas out.
It always seemed a bit cumbersome to me, but when Google announced end of life for their Reader, I've moved to Thunderbird with my feeds and it works well enough. But, I might be a special case - I no longer work on more computers than my laptop, so I have no need for a web-based reader.
This is all true, but I can imagine that high-current charger and battery connectors get standardized and everyone has one charger for all their devices at home and at the office. Perhaps even vending-machines that charge batteries? If it only takes 10 or 20 seconds, why not? Heck, if it only takes a few seconds, I can have a shared charger in the building, so me and my neighbours use only one.

After they "went" to Ukraine, I prefer them going to the Moon than going to Poland.

I don't think he's meant to threaten Ukraine. He's meant to threaten NATO and UE. "If you intervene, I'll use nukes".
How can one tell between finding an exploit in a simulated universe and finding a previously unknown nature law in a real universe?
Two things.
One - shit obviously happens in closed source world, Windows has a looong security history for instance. Security by obscurity is not something that will work.
Two - if you are so much afraid of IoT, just don't plug your toaster to your WiFi. If someone does that, they open themselves to sliced bread attacks on their own peril. You are not forced to do so.

RPI? Those raspberry pis everywhere get on my nerves ;)
Sadly, this is also true for most of humanity.
So it seems they basically obtain their speed levels by redirecting writes to /dev/null and/or /dev/random? ;-)
Every programmer should read code. Bad code and good code. To learn how to do things and how to not do things.

Unless you're from a country that only gets "we don't want your money because you're not from USA, UK nor Germany, go fuck yourself" message.

Why isn't up rated insightful...

And Clementine is what Amarok USED TO be. Simply the best.

So... ultrasonic 3D displays soon?
20GB per 100000 objects is 209kB per object. Don't know what resolution each image was, but I think 200kB is quite small.
Or even sell it.

Thank you, good night.
