I'm all for spending less time in the store, especially in a checkout line. I do not welcome stores further tracking my buying habits by requiring an app that ties my shopping list to a loyalty card and my debit card.
They already know I buy a lot of tinfoil. They still do not know I make hats out of it. Dammit, I just told them.
For example, email. On a personal level many of my friends and family have stopped using it and require me to communicate via Facebook. The problem for me is that I don't have a Facebook account. The problem for them is that they don't want spam.
Huh? The vast majority of what shows up on Facebook is spam. OK, maybe not in the traditional sense given the spam is whatever inane thing someone decides to post rather than a Viagra ad. Oh, you mean the private message thing that no one seems to know how to use because they post conversations in their statuses?
Sadly my brother is one of those and I spend a lot of time cleaning-up his computer, because he just clicks "yes" to everything. I don't think he even bothers to read the warning.
Quite cleaning his computer. Otherwise he has no incentive to change his behavior.
OBL was found by following the courier. The courier that handled the email.
If you jump out of the car's path but get hit by a truck, you are still run over.
OBL didn't avoid capture for so long because he was good at hide-and-seek and had a superior email/sneakernet system. He avoided capture for so long because Pakistan was helping him. The intelligence on his location needed to be very solid for the operation required to get him. Various articles stated the SEALs had orders to fight their way out, even if they had to fight Pakistani forces. Those orders are not handed out lightly, and those missions are not put together over breakfast. He had been under surveillance for awhile.
No, because the fundamentals are changing. In the power equation, voltage is squared. So if you reduce the voltage, the power goes down more. You can do more operations per watt. That equals less watts for the equivalent operations.
How many safety rules do you need to ensure people don't die?
People die every day in bathtubs, in cars, on bicycles, and a wide variety of other ways considered "safe". Hell, a number of people just drop dead every day across the globe for no apparent reason.
As long as the individual can gauge their risk and their activity has a low probability of killing someone has not chosen to participate, who cares?

I take it you have yet to realize that reality has a liberal bias to it
Said the liberal. That's the thing about your personal bias -- it is biased toward your personal beliefs.
Non-liberals don't have the same liberal biased reality.
The main problem with most liberals is that they firmly believe their bias is the only one that is, or even can be, correct.

It can't be done.
I hope no one figures out how to implement this in such a way that I don't miss out on my complimentary TSA gropes.

Merely delayed it. A bullet in the head is a bullet in the head.
That would be the naive way to do it.
You would be better off assuming they will sell your phone number.
Whoosh
More when you eat beans.
Don't go outside. "They" have made the atmosphere full of radioactive particles.
"They" being all those damn stars. Other parts of the cosmos are in on the conspiracy too! They are out to get us.
It isn't Google's fault you live in Canada.
Read TFA = you know you're on /., right?
Read TFA twice = your account has been closed. Permanently.
Schools don't train , they educate.
Education is the stated goal. Education might be what schools used to do. Sadly, the current state is much closer to training than education.
Not that I disagree, but tell me what is the "proper" way the use FaceBook?
Don't
Since you posted as AC the "Uppity asshole" portion came through as part of your post rather than your sig.
There are a lot of users out there with sticky keyboards.
Those keyboards didn't start out sticky. It's best not to think about why they are sticky. And wear gloves if you have to touch the keyboard.
Isn't a teaspoon just a compressed tablespoon anyway?
Don't forget the added precision offered by the distance-to-planet unit.
The stack could be shortened to Saturn and back if they would reduce to 10 point font.
Still have my 11C, and still prefer RPN. Got it in the mid 80's as well.
Yeah, considering you need several thousand of them grouped together to be perceptible to the naked eye.
