  1. I would suggest vinyl disks on Vint Cerf Warns Against 'Digital Dark Age' · · Score: 2

    Some of mine are over 50 years old and still work perfectly. Reproduction doesn't even require electricity. They are very low maintenance, but not very space efficient.

  2. Re:"Deep" Web or "Dark" Web? on 'Google Search On Steroids' Brings Dark Web To Light · · Score: 1

    "Deep Web" and "Dark Web" are both useful concepts. We should avoid conflating them.

    They also don't exist. People should stop believing they do. It all travels over the same wire. Each new 'encryption' protocol works exactly once, at best. The most functional you might find is Craigslist

    My lumbago seems to have been very mild for almost years years now. Is that a good indicator?

    Their conclusion is that there were long droughts in the past, and we are likely to soon see them again.

    And without reason. We can extract and transport all the water we want when and where we want it. We can easily 'quantitatively ease' our way into great abundance, but the bankers make the rules, creating the scarcities everybody laments.

  5. Re:it isn't the best thing for your health, but... on Smoking Is Even Deadlier Than Previously Thought · · Score: 1

    Cell phones smoke?

    Yes

  6. Re:I blame the FDA on Smoking Is Even Deadlier Than Previously Thought · · Score: 1

    It tastes and smells better, and it's good for your apatite. Aside from that, there are a few people who prefer that you don't know, could tip some apple carts.

  7. Re:just ban it on Smoking Is Even Deadlier Than Previously Thought · · Score: 1

    So yes, blame big pharma for that too, along with big oil and so on.

    I always blame the people who reelect the people who take the money.

  8. Electric cars work great in an urban landscape. on Japan Now Has More Car Charging Points Than Gas Stations · · Score: 1

    Europe is crowded enough also to make it work. In the US, you might want to have your generator under the hood.

  9. Re:1100-1300 eh? on NASA: Increasing Carbon Emissions Risk Megadroughts · · Score: 1

    Exactly. We can extract all the water we need.

  10. Re:In other news on NASA: Increasing Carbon Emissions Risk Megadroughts · · Score: 2

    All droughts are man's fault. Water can be transported across continents just as easily as gas and oil. We are now capable of greening the deserts, but most people feel it's more profitable to prepare for war over water, and keep it scarce and profitable. There is no reason for shortages of any kind anymore. They are all due to waste and greed.

  11. Re:NWO on Trans-Pacific Partnership Enables Harsh Penalties For Filesharing · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Commercial companies which exist to make money can't just block something everyone uses and expect to remain a viable company with paying customers.

    With their protected monopolies they certainly can do what they want, and the voters will grumble and then dutifully reelect for the fifth time the crooked politicians that made the deal.

  12. Re:All droughts are bullshit on NASA: Increasing Carbon Emissions Risk Megadroughts · · Score: 1

    There's lots of sun, wind, and nukes. They can quit their bellyaching and get to work. The issue is strictly a matter of will.

    We can desalinate, end of story.

  14. Bypass all this stuff. on VESA Embedded DisplayPort 1.4a Paves Way For 8K Displays, Longer Battery Life · · Score: 1

    Wait for 3D holographic displays and projectors coming *real soon now*.

  15. Re:No mention of refresh rate on VESA Embedded DisplayPort 1.4a Paves Way For 8K Displays, Longer Battery Life · · Score: 3

    ...other articles are claiming eDP 1.4a can support 8K (actually 7680 x 4320) resolution at 60 Hz

    :-) Not quite sure you caught the bolded part that is not in the summary. Otherwise, carry on!

    ... https everywhere, constant VPNs and full encryption for everything...

    Trivially blocked by your service provider. This continuing single point of failure is the obstacle to overcome. Not much can be accomplished before then.

  17. All the EU parties... are in favor. on EU Preparing Vast Air Passenger Database · · Score: 1

    All one of them ,eh? Just goes to show there is wide spread unity amongst the authoritarians, no matter what their particular political affiliation. And the Americans needn't bother looking for a 'third party' if they're going to let it do just like the other one does.

  18. Re:We need a distributed Tor immedietly on Russia Seeking To Ban Tor, VPNs and Other Anonymizing Tools · · Score: 1

    You need to address the agents that provide your internet service. As long as you have to go through them, there is going to be trouble. Anybody can be shutdown. Even Slashdot, by a *faulty disk*

    Well yes, it is about Java, the first language to mix coding with literature.

    I think they are saying is that most of the code is really comments and should be marked as such. In other words, your weather app doesn't need to contain Shakespeare or Tolstoy to function, even with a pretty face. Though it would be interesting to hear it lament the dark and stormy night.

    Every time embarrassing information or evidence of crime lays in data that should be public someone in government will declare it secret on national security grounds.

    Yes, they have to. It goes all the way up.
