My family is from South America you insensitive clod! Now excuse me while I go introduce Sally Struthers to the tribe and give them some shiny beads to keep them from eating her and to swap for their land.
Unfortunately, Wave tried to bolt a poorly executed social aspect onto a messaging system, meaning everything but messaging sucked. This bolts messaging onto a social network that already has messaging built into it.
One thing you may have noticed is that humans are good at ignoring a problem until it forces them to adapt. New technologies are good and all, but alternatives are just another thing people will have to buy to get around the shortage. That's money many won't have once prices rise due to a crunch in a critically important resource. Cripes we're already complaining about the rise in coffee prices. Everything made of plastics or wrapped in them will also rise in price, making a very personal crunch in resources for everyone.
'm gonna make a big leap of faith here, but I think that video is not to scale. The gap you see between the third blue dot and some of those other dots are on what we like to call "a planetary scale". And they have hit us before!
This is akin to, once you've done the thing that the picture depicts, it can't really be undone. So the real lesson is, don't do stupid shit in the first place. Putting that into practice is, of course, slightly more difficult than saying it.
As opposed to the tricks manufacturers currently use of standing the magnetic particles on their end on a platter that spins 5400 to 15000 rpm beneath a magnet, floating on a cushion of air, suspending on a moving arm. All that physics is so much less tricky than an algorithm.
How many drives from 5 years ago do most of us still use?
I, on the other hand, can't wait to start experimenting on my neighbor to see if the inside of his brain cures anything. If not, there are other neighbors. It's science after all - what's one life when I could be saving trillions.
Yeah, wow. Those Japanese phones with their TV antennae. Isn't that the service that we're quickly cutting off here in the US? Yeah, let me rush out and buy something expensive to take advantage of that while it lasts.
You act as if you forgot that we're all humans reading this forum. We'll FIND a reason to destroy something. In the future it could be a hip little wooden box, or a nostalgia for 18th century items gone awry. Those trees are doomed one way or another.
The real problem is that the one man ignored the fundamentals of system administration. He was totally ignorant of what backups actually meant, was too dumb to know that he had no expertise in the administration of systems, and thus did not belong in the position he was in. This is the Darwin award for companies composed of stupid people. In the end, he got what he deserved, and a whole bunch of people are wiser now.
If your livelihood depends on you're doing something that can easily be documented, then you're likely stuck in a rut. There are plenty of other operational skills and project related talent that cannot be documented. Document the easy stuff so that those below you can take that over and give you, the person who everyone assumes has infinite time, to breathe.
At my job we document everything. Any system that is being set up has to be reproducible according to how you originally did it. Because if they lose that system after you leave, the next person's "common sense" may take a different route, producing suboptimal results, and may just be something you would roll your eyes at. It's not always how, but why you did something, that matters.
I don't see a lot of soccer moms hauling lumber yet thee roads are full of SUVs and pickups that people bought because they want to be ram tough. Your argument applies to a very small percentage of the population.
That's funny, because when I turn my blackberry to Loud, it's annoyingly loud when I get a page. Are you sure you know how to use the thing? Maybe place it onto a dish of coins to help amplify the vibration?

No one wants an oil well in their back yard until we are all screaming for oil to lubricate the gears off the economy. That sentiment will change.

Green Wave not to be confused with the same class of phenomena as the Red Tide or Aunt Flo visiting.
Actually, I'm researching the Irish Potato Famine at the moment. Thanks for the tip!
Is Dreamweaver a mode in vi? I've never seen it.

I know which side Skynet would choose.

Coins are individual, too. Save the monies!!!
When users stop calling their hard drive "memory" then they will be ready for the computer that's already in front of them. Baby steps, please.

Egads man! I would have thought you'd be mummified by now.
Are you finding a lot of danger in passing Windows viruses to your Linux system in your daily life that you need to avoid FAT32?
Nothing that a wall built of baby corpses couldn't solve!
There is only one solution. We must become zombies and feed off the brains of the ones responsible for ignoring the power of the sun.
Or building a society that is either independent of modern technologies.
Or shielding so heavily that we become mole people.
Seriously, the zombie scenario sounds more fun.

One of the benefits of being the country that originates 99% of the content on the internet - I don't have to worry about this.
Great Zombie Copernicus!!!
