There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now. What do you mean you’ve never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh, for heaven’s sake, mankind, it’s only four light years away, you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout. Energize the demolition beams.
In any case, you could just think of the order as cyclical with no beginning and no end. Then it is whatever order you want to see it in.
This reminds me of an Adam Corolla bit from the "Man Show" a long time ago... Why do they call it "Stop and go traffic? Shouldn't it be called go and stop traffic?"
If you made the simple change of promoting a distributed work force and have everyone collaborate via 3d environment then you wouldn't have to concentrate people in arbitrary locations.
Just incorporate in the most friendly tax state and let your workers be anywhere they want to be.
Not everyone writing software should be nor should they need to be a security expert.
I think the proper method here is to not trust devices to be secure, ever. Instead look to a provider of security software and/or hardware to put your devices behind.
A firewall device in front of every connected device would seem to be the best approach.
Just like every computer should have a firewall, every device should too.
How about a standard interface for a car where you plug in the smart phone you already have? That is now the brains of your car. As technology advances, so does your smart phone. Your car can forever stay "dumb".
LOL or what's the other one? Studio 4 or something?
It is interesting to see this knock-off market really take off.
Consumers and content resellers are so desperate for new content that this is clearly an increasingly big void to fill.
I remember years ago I was an eMusic.com subscriber (when their subscription system wasn't such a deceitful money grab), I started seeing a whole lot of "tribute" albums... I thought it was a pretty clever operation. Get around licensing / royalty costs and at the same time increase the amount of content available. Brilliant.
I am convinced that when people do star ratings, they mindlessly hit 1 or 5 just to get "rate me!" nag crap out of the way.
The only thing that matters even a little is coherent customer reviews. The problem is that most people don't really take the time to speak about their likes and dislikes. So really, even customer reviews are pretty much worthless.
Other ways are to target the users or groups that ARE willing to pay and serve them an "enhanced" product.
You could also ask for donations or use a service like Google contributor.
Other than that, it may just require a radical shift in the way things are done... maybe an "Internet tax" that is built into your (or your ISPs) bill for the pipe whose proceeds would go toward funding free public infrastructure where anyone can host anything and can monetize in any way they want up to a certain, pre-defined limit at which point they would have to fund it themselves... Shooting from the hip here...
Slashdot Mirror
Community groups are using social media, blogs, research and media outreach to bring public attention to the process and voice their concerns
So they are utilizing services provided by data centers while protesting data centers. Brilliant.
Disco Stu will be born anew!
Square Enix has managed to stay around long enough to cash in on their old titles again.... good for them.
What was old is now new.
If you don't like it, don't buy it.
I would be curious to hear what you think of all the Star Wars re-packages, re-makes, re-releases, etc.
less filling!
I am not a doctor but this seems like it would be about the same thing as rinsing with hydrogen peroxide several times a day.
Hydrogen peroxide is not an anti-bacterial compound, it just works as such because it breaks open cell walls which then kills the cells.
So it would seem to me that this would be an indiscriminate killer of cells...
Is the official term for manufacturer changing to maker now?
People have always made stuff yet it seems like "maker" is some kind of new term to describe something that has always been happening.
Not only that but:
TLS 1.3 and tlsdate
In the upcoming version of TLS, tlsdate might not function anymore.
The blowing up of the cement truck was the best explosion I have seen... ever....

How about a hammock underneath every desk?
Is there a particular order which is correct?
In any case, you could just think of the order as cyclical with no beginning and no end. Then it is whatever order you want to see it in.

That is how *traditional* economies work.

You better believe that's a paddlin'

Or.... you could click on the link to the article...
I know, I know, this is Slashdot...
That "stoner kid" is about to have the weight of the world land on her shoulders....
This brings up a good point.
How about a standard interface for a car where you plug in the smart phone you already have? That is now the brains of your car. As technology advances, so does your smart phone. Your car can forever stay "dumb".
Well... or air gap... that technology hasn't changed.
But I see your point.

I would say -5 to +5 would be a better system.
That way you can capture people's DISLIKE of a thing as well as their LIKE.
An all positive number system is just ridiculous.
This exactly.
Star ratings are hogwash.

Ads are the easiest way to monetize.
Other ways are to target the users or groups that ARE willing to pay and serve them an "enhanced" product.

Yeah. I absolutely hate when people say this stuff.
I mean, how can you "lose" something before you ever had it?
You are predicting the future and then saying its a loss when it doesn't come true...
I mean, if I went around saying that I lost a billion dollars that I never had in the first place, people would think I was insane.
I have seen IT systems in use for a lot longer than that.
Amazingly enough, some software continues to work as long as the hardware it is running on continues to function.
They can MITM anyone they want and they almost certainly have the ability to mint any certificate they wish....
