    >> You just have to make sure you press and hold F5 .... so that it doesn't reinstall ChromeOS.

    Or get a real laptop which doesn't destroy your data on boot.
    Perhaps an application of that would be if you ever enter the US with a laptop. A data destroying laptop is then useful.

    It is always a bad decision to use MS products.

    >> In the private sector, she'd be gone yesterday and yet we pay these people more

    That's incorrect. It's not the public sector overpaying, it's the private sector underpaying.
    The correct wording would therefore be:

    In the private sector, she'd be gone yesterday and yet we pay the people in private companies much less despite an insecure job.

  12. Correct title would be : "Another Crowdfunded Startup Takes Investors Money, Then Shuts Downs"

  13. That's not the point on Who's Responsible For IoT Security? (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    >> Make them easily configurable so your tv and refrigerator can talk to each other but nothing else etc.
    That's not the purpose of IOT.
    IOT has two purposes :
    1) for manufacturers to reduce the cost of return by allowing cheap software upgrades instead.
    2) collect data to be selled.

    IOT devices were never meant to talk to each other.

    4) Crap is stopped.

  17. >> Keep in mind this is NOT a modern Toyota, to be imported to Canada it must be (by law) over 15 years old.

    What?
    You cannot import new items in your country ?

  18. Yes. The whole story is more or less BS.
    1) who buys a RHD car as an import from JP for use in Canada ?
    2) Battery exploding after losing track of charge cycles. Complete and utter bullshit.

  23. Everything could possibly go wrong? on NASA Looks At Reviving Atomic Rocket Program (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly.
    What could go wrong ?
    Rockets have, at best, 98% reliability (Using old and proven tech, new one is muuch wooorse.).
    that means that 2% of the time, they explode and get dispersed in the atmosphere, low or high, soon or late.
    So it's a very very very very very very bad idea to send fissile material to orbit and then to escape velocities.
    (the small quantities of the mars rovers and similar RTG powered probes are only comparable to a very weak Hiroshima in mass)

  24. Nothing new under the sun on Massive Solar Plant In the Sahara Could Help Keep the EU Powered (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    it's an old project : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    The big problem in that : the North African region is not politically stable enough.
    Why ? Because the French and British govs started a war in Lybia, which created ISIS and maintanis chaos in the region.
    You can't build critical infrastructure in that kind of environment.

    In full deployment, there will be (in a distant future) 500GW.
