There is no such thing as an actual engineer. There are many different engineering fields, and not all of them are "professional engineers".
Computer Engineer is the name of a degree, they tend to be programmer types with more hardware experience. These are the types you have code your drivers. They tend to have experience with actual electronic circuits, but this is not necessary.
Just because you think that only professional engineers (the type who are insured and certified) are the only type of engineer, doesn't mean it is true. This is an issue on your end, not the "coders who call themselves engineers".
The nice thing about open source is that you are free to modify it to suit your needs and redistribute it if you want.
There has never been anything stopping the photography community from reimplementing things the photoshop way. As if there isn't a reason that Gimp does things differently...pesky copyrights...
You argument boils down to "your free product isn't good enough, I'm going to stick with this expensive product", when you could just as easily implement anything you want.
In a 1978 paper for Science, J. P. McBride at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and his colleagues looked at the uranium and thorium content of fly ash from coal-fired power plants in Tennessee and Alabama. To answer the question of just how harmful leaching could be, the scientists estimated radiation exposure around the coal plants and compared it with exposure levels around boiling-water reactor and pressurized-water nuclear power plants.
The result: estimated radiation doses ingested by people living near the coal plants were equal to or higher than doses for people living around the nuclear facilities. At one extreme, the scientists estimated fly ash radiation in individuals' bones at around 18 millirems (thousandths of a rem, a unit for measuring doses of ionizing radiation) a year. Doses for the two nuclear plants, by contrast, ranged from between three and six millirems for the same period. And when all food was grown in the area, radiation doses were 50 to 200 percent higher around the coal plants.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects,[a] against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Perhaps you need to reread the fourth, there is no expansion needed as the cause is probable, oath's have been made, the item has been described. What more do you want than a freaking warrant? The writers of the Bill of Rights sure didn't feel more is needed.
I believe there was a search warrant, but, even if there wasn't, the owner of the phone is the City of San Bernardino, which has given permission to the FBI to do whatever they need.

Can you please show me how the bolded part does not apply to what the government is after? You do understand you only have privacy for as long as there is not sufficient reason to get a warrant against you don't you?
Oh, you mean actively engaging in terrorism might get you killed? That is a huge surprise to me. Planning terror attacks is exactly the opposite of protesting. Protesting is changing things peacefully, terrorism is forcing others to do what you want by causing terror in them.
It is not ignoring the 4th amendment, the probable cause, thing to be searched, blah blah blah was already given to get a warrant for the device. But, permission was already given by the owner, so the 4th wouldn't even apply in the most restrictive interpretation.
As far as the 13th, they are not asking Apple to slave away unlocking the phone, they are more than willing to pay for the patch.
You should get your keyboard checked, all those extraneous boldings make no sense.
A drive that has had full size test units built is hardly theoretical. It is a nuclear reactor with an open cooling loop. The water (or other liquid) is run over the reactor which causes it to turn into a gas which is allowed to exit the rear of the ship. This isn't a terribly hard concept to get, it is actually quite easy to understand. It isn't some fictional warp drive.
Maybe, maybe not. The EM drive which the comment references had so little thrust it was difficult to measure it from a device using a ton of power and that was quite large and heavy. The Star Trek style Alacumbre drive in the link is still only theoretical, and unlikely to be within our power budget for centuries.
I have no idea why you are following me around on this topic and trying to claim I am a shill for repeating things that are available easily on the internet. But I guess you are another paranoid schizophrenic. You should go knock on the window of all of those people spying on you outside!

So, that is 180 feet, which should cover most of a house. If it doesn't, just put in a wiring closet in the attic and one in the basement.
Wireless theoretically has better range.
I can't even count how many PCMCIA 802.11b cards I had lose the plastic cover over the antenna...
Then 3com came out with those x-jack wireless cards...those things were great until they failed from the wearing out of the antenna connections.
Funny, I've had FiOS for 10 years now. I guess I must be imagining the fiber running into the back of my house.

I guess it really does hurt to be stupid. If you don't get that Trump is an alpha type, that is on you, not on the poster.

So, since coal does not release radiation, I guess you must have done more studies than scientists at Oak Ridge have?

Real glass? What a luxury!
Those are two different books. The electromagnetic doorframe was in Cryptonomicon.
Hitler was far closer to Sanders than Trump. They may sound alike, but Trump is not a fascist.
So you assert that he was assassinated rather than committed suicide? What evidence do you have to add to the investigation that was somehow missed?
If I weren't so lazy, I would totally make a new account just to reply to this...unfortunately, I am lazy.
I tried to post a 0 in response to this, but Slashdot wouldn't let me reply with that as my whole comment.

Twitter has never generated a profit and loses a couple hundred million dollars every year.
That is not possible. If they never generated a profit, what money are they spending over their income every year?
There are no usable apps for regular stuff for Linux. Seriously. Show me an alternative to Photoshop, for example.
Such as Gimp, that costs nothing and is just as capable, but would require you to relearn how to do things?
