I upgraded my old ~2007 iMac with a "new" 20" iMac from 2011, spent $600. The only reason for the upgrade (my primary machine is a PC) is that my dad's PPC iMac was approaching 10 years old and definitely needed updating..
But of course, vitalization and cloud servers are also reducing the need to buy new machines.
I've been using the web site and iPhone app goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/. While not perfect, it is a nice way to keep track of what you've read, want to read, and see what others are reading. Better integration with Audible would be nice.
Al Gore's movie didn't mention "Climate change" once, instead only implies future warming, by showing the "hockey stick" graph, which implied exponential warming. Google Al Gore Hockey Stick for a reference. As far as the Summer Arctic Ice, you can google that too. You really need a citation to figure out that Global Warming did not happen as predicted by the quack who got a "D's and C's" in Natural History at Harvard?
Pot shots? The whole world was supposed to warm exponentially and all the sea ice was supposed to have melted by now. Al Gore was horribly wrong. There hasn't been significant warming in a decade. The "deniers" have been largely correct. And yet, the climate change promoters are just saying the models need to be adjusted. Al Gore is a buffoon.
Why release any data not associated with a wanted vehicle? On the other hand, it seems like it could do a great job finding wanted vehicles... Stolen cars, Amber Alerts, bail jumpers, and wanted felons.. Only when you use it for misdemeanor offenses does it seem to suggest a civil liberties problem. (Say you get pulled over.. turns out your tags was incorrectly reported stolen.. the issue is cleared up and your tags are cleared from the watch list.. probable cause and no real harm done... ) A little law and order targeting felons is something most people can support.
I can report that my wife's 7th and 8th grade science classes LOVED the day of code program. Many started out thinking it was impossible to do any coding.. and ended up making some great discoveries. All the kids wanted to stay in the class and "code" rather than go out an play and eat lunch. At least for my wife's school, it was a huge success and hopefully some of the kids will be drawn into a profession they love...
Who downloads and installs DDoS software then only runs it for one minute? Something is fishy.
Was his (second) biggest mistake admitting that he downloaded and used the software, rather than deny and let them try to prove it wasn't a hacker who tapped into his home network?
Interesting corollary is to those who use bittorrent for illegal purposes.. at some point a lawyer and judge can come in and garnish years of your earned wages.
Use standard cable trays.. but spray paint them some hip color that works with your designer... gold, silver, metallic blue, or whatever.. Lots of great colors to choose from. Will look great.. and be functional. And you won't spend a fortune. Guaranteed its the cheapest, most sensible solution. Don't forget to color coordinate with your CAT6.
Whether £10-20m is net or gross... its still a pretty paltry sum if they're being showcased as an example of "pirating leads to success". Iron Maiden has had years to build their brand and they started before piracy was as prevalent--so they rightfully should be earning royalties and income from earlier investments. Unfortunately this model doesn't work for 99% of the musicians who don't have a large bankroll from earlier times.
I've been using TaxAct.com for 4+ years for personal taxes and it is fantastic. Super cheap and reliable.. All information from previous years is stored on their servers so each year it gets easier to file.
Unlike healthcare.gov, I trust their site, it works, is easy to use, cheaper than anything else, and they didn't the taxpayers a half billion dollars on the rollout.
You can't see how this law will exacerbate outsourcing, downsizing, layoffs and massively increase the federal government? Retirees and the poor have had Medicaid and Medicare and still will... but Obamacare has done nothing to reduce the cost of healthcare such as tort reform to reduce malpractice insurance. And yes, Obamacare will make it that much harder to be an independent worker or small business owner.
That is true, but in this instance, this was a no-bid contract. And for hundreds of millions of dollars (do you realize how many programmer hours that buys?!) this is a fiasco. Just wait until it starts working and healthy working people realize how much they're going to have to spend to subsidize all the lower-income and non-workers. This is going to be a spectacular disaster.
Forcing utility companies to buy back energy will eventually bankrupt any electricity company. It forces all of the expenses of running their entire grid on a smaller and smaller pool of paying customers. Those customers would be businesses and the "renting" poor, and those unlucky enough not to be able to install solar. However, the electric grid as we know it should eventually become obsolete, as alternative energies such as solar take over. It will just be a complicated period of adjustment.
Siri could understand and respond to another instance of Siri on a second iPhone.. so not totally impossible. Audio processing and acoustics have come a long way since the 9600 baud modem.
Sure, get a business minor and/or an MBA. Especially if you like the business side of things. I have a minor in business, and got a major in CS. I've been very happy with my education and run a small software business. Or you can teach yourself these things by just reading books and listening to lectures, but that is harder to "sell" on a resume unless you can back it up with job experience...

He said Summer Ice. And its summer in the Antarctic. Where the ship got stuck. Apparently looking for global warming.

Al Gore said the Arctic Ocean could be ice-free by now... What the Heck!? I didn't even bring a parka.

Wow. I never imagined a license could be worse than the AGPL. No wonder the story made SlashDot. License goes from horrible to terrible. Progress!
I bet with a little white wine sauce, it would still be pretty tasty. Polish it off with a little chardonnay.
Software that 99.9% of us will never use has been re-licensed with an even more restrictive license. The word salad about being "free" was gratuitous.
I haven't programmed assembly in decades and can still read it and follow along.. Crazy how some things just get burned into one's gray matter.

I'm shocked that businesses and politicians are playing hard ball!

Ok, use a different drug. My vet can recommend something.
I use two cyphers, just in case. In my case, I found ROT13 and XOR excellent for speed and obfuscation.
