You know how Goggle and others do autocomplete on your search entries?
Yeah I do. They don't typically do so on username or password fields. Maybe read the entire summary or article and actually understand the topic at hand before posting. Your UID is too low to be spouting something so silly.
Tell me again why Noscript isn't the default mode of every browser?
Because by default it breaks most of the internet and only the most dedicated of geeks are happy to battle with the frustration of managing whitelists to make basic browsing work.
I mean seriously do you guys have no understanding of information systems?
Welcome to Slashdot 2017. Assume ignorance and be pleasantly surprised when someone has a clue. Then be disappointed again when the immediate next comment blames it on some partisan policy while the next guy tries to get you to block everything via a hosts file.
You DO know that incandescent lighting is not so common these days, don't you?
It's still incredibly common even in countries where energy costs are double or triple that of the USA, to say nothing of the USA's energy price and the massive number of people who still think that energy efficient = expensive, will break, and OMG MERCURY WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE. It got to the point where they were actively litigating which resulted in a rush of orders before various different bulbs fell out of favour with the law.
You might wanna update your knowledge if you're going to be calling people ignorant.
Ironic. Pull the breaks a bit on your assumptions. There are some countries in the world where energy efficient lighting is the norm. But stating that incandescent lighting is not common is just outright wrong.
Actually all I see is an ignorant statement. There are no queues outside of your language because this is a written forum, nor any indication inside the language that would tip the scales between a balance of facetious and ignorant. This being Slashdot I'm now defaulting to the latter.
I know emoticons aren't trendy on Slashdot, but send us a smiley if you won't want to be misunderstood next time:-)
I'm sorry. I was rash. How about I call out your bullshit one line at a time:
you're getting your categories from the fashion industry.
You're right, I shouldn't have. I'm sorry that I followed that advice, I fully retract it. End result: Based on your own desire to remove that part of the category you are now EVEN MORE WRONG than you were before. Happy now? I am.
And BTW, since you can't read very well and don't understand American government data
Cute. You think this is "American government data" rather than a commonly accepted international standard by the health industry.
If you don't know that there is mainstream debate in the medical community over the whole BMI system and how it is interpreted, that's your own problem.
I do, and I did, and I pointed out a specific discrepancy that would favour your argument, but you shut it down.
I really really wish you were with us in highschool debating competitions.... for the other team. I really am glad we see eye-to-eye.
Right, that is what I was saying; you're getting your categories from the fashion industry.
No you missed what I was saying: You are an idiot. Go deny climate change or something where you'd have at least some echo-chamber support for your stupid point of view.
Look this entire conversation has nothing to do with lithography, and the process of making a chip stackable has always existed, they just haven't done that. No one here is talking about 3D silicon other than you.
As for your comment about heat, that was stupid as well. Yeah scale back heat by lowering the frequency, as if what designers were really after was something that runs slower. You just traded off the one thing no one wanted to trade off and declared the problem solved. Bravo.
That literally describes most software from most vendors that gets released on Smartphones. The camera app especially changes with each new model and doesn't get back ported to previous phones. Software versions are arbitrarily locked, and even features are locked between devices, e.g. Samsung Health on Galaxy S4 doesn't work with Garmin's bike cadence sensor. It does on the Galaxy S5 for no reason what so ever.
Whoever modded that informative here's an education for you: he was being funny, Android introduced face unlock several years ago with flagship phones having it years before that.
The earth's rotation has been slowing steadily all the time. Would that not mean a steady increase in quake activity?
It would indeed. Now when you're done begging the question, check the initial statement you made. Has the world really been slowing "steadily"? Hint: The result of deviation against the SI day measurement has an upwards trend, but it also is a very wiggly graph.
Last time I looked I have NEVER seen a bios attack
Found a millennial. Those of us with a few more grey hairs on our beards remember BIOS modifying related malware basically showing up as one of the originals during the birth of PC malware.
That's to say nothing of the fact you've had your eyes closed to multiple cases over the past few years, to say nothing of the several that have been discussed on Slashdot in the past.
I would have liked the mechanism to ship unlocked until an OS vendor installs, which would then have optionally locked the platform to that vendors or enduser keys. But instead we get the joy of Microsoft's keys being the arbiter of the whole SecureBoot platform.
The latter is the result of implementing the former in a world where every computer is sold with a Microsoft OS. You got what you want, it just wasn't thought through.
I think it is pretty obvious that net neutrality can and is being violated by many parties already.
Where is your evidence for this?
Pick an ISP and let's talk about their practices. We can talk about those charging differently for anyone peering with Netflix. We can talk about download caps which don't apply to their own streaming video services. We can talk about free access to Facebook and only Facebook on mobile phones. And these are just the 3 that my own personal ISPs have been guilty of. I'm sure if I switched ISP again I can find another example to add to the list.
You think the desire for net neutrality legislation just popped up out of thin air?
Reactors built in the 1970s have all been upgraded and improved during rebuilds
And precisely zero of that incorporates "inherently safer design", the gold standard of safety developments over the years that generally come only with decomissioning and replacement of old reactors,... replacements which have been hamstrung.
A car analogy right back at you: Your 1970s deathtrap can't be retrofitted with crumple zones, and no there's no 1970s car on the road which has had it's passenger compartment strengthened. All of that was achieved through attrition as those 1970s era vehicles break down and die, something which we have continuously denied the nuclear industry over the past 40 years.
While you're looking at 1970s cars, take a look at the modern requirements for owning a classic car. None of what you have listed is included, the only requirements are driver and front passenger seatbelts. Yeah okay they have modern tires, but really that does little to nothing on classic old suspension systems and chassis. In your modern 1970s car even back seat drivers are expendable, no need for seatbelts there.... though given some of them that may not be a bad thing;-)
This may surprise you, but infrared radiation is very close in wavelength to this thing we perceive as "light", so much so that our "lights" in our house used to give of more of this mythical technology thing called "infrared" than actual light we perceived at one stage.
If you think this interference means Apple is lying, I'm calling you ignorant. If you want to fix your ignorance look into the long history of using and sensing infrared in various fields, the history of TV remotes, IrDA, and even Nintendo's Duck Hunt as examples of technology which incorporates a lot of hacks to get around the fact that just because something senses IR doesn't mean it is immune from "light".
Just say crap and if it happens you can claim to be "Right."
I understand the Slashdot history of saying correlation != causation, but at what point did we become anti science enough to say "Yeah correlation but I don't believe you and THIS time it will be different!"
No matter what issue is raised with any nuclear reactor technology, somebody on this site pops up to say that would never happen if we only used reactors with some different element as fuel, some different physical layout, some different size, some different cooling scheme, yada, yada, yada.
Well yes that's kind of how logic and technical progress works. We do the same thing for everything we have developed as a species. Every single piece of technology that had some inherent risk has had that risk reduced through technical progress over the past 50 years. Cars are safer, planes are safer, ships are safer, houses are safer, oil refineries, chemical plants, and the key one: Nuclear reactors are safer.
The only thing that sets nuclear apart from the rest of our specie's progress is that for everything else we have adopted the newer modern technology, modern designs, and slowly phased out old ones. It's why you can't buy a car without seatbelts. It's why airbags and ABS are standard. It's why commerical buildings need fire doors and fire proofing.
The only outlier is nuclear. So whatever happens with the existing nuclear plants, the answer IS the same, it wouldn't happen on a modern design, and the lack of progress is fundamentally due to a scare campaign by the greens. That is just what happened to the industry. You can close your eyes, plug your ears, and shout la la la all you want, but the people who give this reply on Slashdot will continue to rightfully do so.
And remember, the healthiest people are in the range from the upper part of normal, to "overweight." The category titles are based on the fashion industry, not the health studies
Okay I get it, you're one of those fat lards on Tumblr who shame healthy people and think "fat is beautiful" and "if I love myself it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks". That's really the only way you can self justify going against every medical professional advice.
By the way, being on the upper end of BMI is only healthy if you're on the lower end of body fat. But I'm sure you have some misguided belief that that is driven entirely by the sports industry.

Not only does it, maybe you should actually click through the links to see this very thing in action.

Tell me again why Noscript [noscript.net] isn't the default mode of every browser?
Because by default it breaks most of the internet and all but the most dedicated put up with manually having to manage whitelists.
In Firefox 57 there's now also the option to turn on its built-in tracking protection all the time, as opposed to only in private browsing mode.
You should do that anyway if for no other reason than to actually speed up the internet. http://www.ieee-security.org/T...

If you're THAT worried about the authorities, maybe it's time to seek asylum in a 1st world country.
