it's what we teach our techs to say at a customer's location when something goes awry, rather than "oh shit". It also fits when the conversational topic is above my pay grade.
Will someone make graphene cereal already? I mean everything is better with graphene. Where are the Graphene Puffs? I know they'll stay crunchier in milk than regular cereal. They probably won't go stale as fast either.
I know it'll be better for the environment. Graphene Puffs won't need as much protective packaging to avoid being crushed, so less waste and weight to transport. Plus they'll be lighter per box than regular cereal.
I'm sure that they'll be the perfect weight loss food as well. One bowl of Graphene Puffs should take about 4000 years to digest.
As long as you don't use Aaamond Milk; since I understand the irrigation water in the primary harvest region is a costly environmental consideration.
Graphene is currently way too expensive for a bulk product like concrete, but if a big market is available more research will go into mass production techniques. More research should go into reinforcing concrete with other substances as well. I have seen concrete reinforced with peat moss, coconut fibers, and shredded bamboo. These increase tensile strength, and shock absorption, but reduce compressive strength.
Actually, it isn't. See my post in the last thread. What is up with all of these "Al" stories? There is a lot in tech news that isn't being covered while every other story on the front page is about Al. Did I miss something?
The Linux users that used to be all over slashdot have moved to Phoronix, and with good reason.
All that is left now is this crap.
Right, as participating in/. and Phoronix are mutually exclusive activities... with your post representative of a mere statistical anomaly.
It doesn't exist yet. Neural networks and genetic algorithms are NOT SENTIENT or anywhere close. It's going to be a few decades before we have anything resembling true intelligence.
Heck, even the HAL of HAL 9000 stands for Heuristic ALgorithmic computer, so Clarke was still making the argument that the computer of 2001 had only reached the brink of sentience and couldn't handle a moral dilemma.
Perhaps on the order of crystal clarity, the entity's lack of moral dilemma's will expedite the implementation of atrificial intelligence.
I'm pleased with the prospect of a merger, without which I had been considering relocating my multi-line cellular service to Verizon or ATT for their superior rural coverage. Work has recently picked up in the boontoolies surrounding our small metropolis, and I've noticed considerably better outskirt's reception by folks with phone service from the other providers.
Even the devastation left behind by severe storms is often a welcome sight to roofers, auto body repairmen, and glaziers... no fallacy.
There's a reason Corollas became the best selling car of all time over the VW bug a little over twenty years ago. I have a 1992 sixth generation Corolla with nearly 500k miles.
Indeed.
The Nipponese made vehicles of such quality that the earth's preeminent automobile manufacturer was torn asunder, and Detroit has never been the same.
Ironic, perhaps, that two of the nations vanquished in the 2nd World War (Germany and Japan) grew to dominate worldwide automotive manufacturing.
Perhaps divesting one's national goals from military encroachment to industrial excellence promotes national productivity. Who knew?
Suck it up, you should be able to drive over a coin and call heads or tails, just by feel.
She was wearing those three-quarter jeans with the twine belt, all Ellie-Mae-like, and they fit so tight over the pocket you could read the date on the dime on her right front thigh.
$0.07 per stolen account. How are companies supposed to learn from their actions if they only receive a slap on the wrist?
Perhaps corporations are indeed learning from their actions. Repeated infractions have been met with punishments on the order of 50 lashes with a wet noodle... not exactly a deterrent to objectionable corporate decision-making.
of course the government with Israel's influence wants to nail him for that.
You know, full disclosure and all that conditional virile male cow excrement, I want to slight you immediately for the failure to capitalize... so and nonetheless; as the lottery recipient of the winning ticket, biologically, that paints you as a member of the planet's dominant species, you want to go down the blame the Jew's road?
You are under-performing with the cards you've been dealt. The boy hacker is just now receiving the attention he has assiduously sought.
Okay, maybe it is indeed the selling of ass, but not far behind is the often uncompensated occupation of righteous indignation... undoubtedly founded by a special interest group previously in charge of a monopoly on the delivery of ass... not entirely an objective political action committee.
Clearly legalized prostitution is a deterrent to sexual assault. If I hear one more person claim rape isn't a sex crime, I think I might run outside with my hands over my ears and complete those fucking chores I've been putting off... or have another whiskey. I can't be certain.
Using the ubiquitous interconnectivity of social media to win the hearts and minds of the public is so efficient that it would be astonishing if any government, corporation, or lobbying concern opted out of exploiting the forum.
Look. I know it's the evil Russians and all, but do you suppose the Pentagon is the right outfit to cast the first stone?
There is an inferred belief set inside law enforcement that in order to accomplish the greater good, it is perfectly acceptable to occasionally stoop to the level of the dirty criminals. Hollywood and the entertainment industry have consistently reinforced this logical fallacy with hundreds (thousands?) of stories with protagonist rogue cops who do what needs to be done to catch the bad guy.
The problem is, once you stoop to a despicable act, it is so much easier to stoop the next time. (K. Hepburn)
The freedoms we enjoy are quite precious, and the sacrifices made to preserve them do not all occur on the field of battle... sometimes the good guys have to carry the enormous burden of a moral compass during the pursuit of the most immoral.
Indeed. Monetizing these incredibly popular social platforms is the most distasteful part of the process. Sell users information, or tolerate intrusive advertisements.
Given the recent telling-if-you-read-between-the-lines Congressional (capitalized reluctantly) debriefing of the facebook's founder, pay-for-play social media is under consideration... folks who spend US$100+ on cable they almost never watch are bristling at the mere thought of paying dollars a month for the hundred hours they spend each month on Zuck's site.
Bitcoin - so much more secure than the banks! Hahaha! Stored in da cloud, blockchain, blah blah blah.
Right.
Bitcoin - the joke is on its users.
Uhm, what you fail to understand is that Bitcoin has nothing to do with with these incidents happening on exchanges. You handed them your money for safekeeping and to do trading on their platform; at this point they are technically no longer yours. If you don't know how it works, don't bother commenting.
It works like this: A key member of the exchange takes the property of exchange users, often Bitcoins, and then cries, "Omigosh! Hacksters!"
Government is always corrupt, democratic or not, and political corruption always exists, with an edge toward those who can afford to purchase influence.
A government that gives a shit about it's citizens' well being may well be a Utopian goal not practically available to many, especially those for which $45 a week extra for groceries and medicine is a life changing income difference.

Bold claim considering CVD is the only viable way produce graphene.
CVD is not the only way to make graphene.

From the look on his face, that pigeon cares. Deeply.

you said absolutely nothing
Yes, meanwhile, you were quite not literally poignant in your succinct critique... if only the grandparent could emulate your transcendency.
Perhaps the mods are on vacation, like the Russian trolls on Friday before the increased activity.

Parent and Grandparent are the best two posts on the thread, including this articulate, informative, maternal copulator.

Serious question, why is it always the Americans who cheat, lie, meddle, and get caught in this kind of thing?
Why is it always the AC who overgeneralizes?
Protip: it isn't... that just how it seems.
Henry Ford had those production numbers one hundred years ago.
I would recommend the tried and true industrial production method: Locate and hire a guy who's been a keystone at a competitor's assembly line.

Call me jaded, but every time I hear an advertisement claim a percentage improvement in efficiency, I hear "up to" even if it's unspoken.
