"manufacturers have long since abandoned the concept of durability and longevity"
Someone should tell my 15 year old Microsoft Natural keyboard. Even the $5 basic Dell keyboards are pretty durable. The only keyboards I can remember throwing out were because they were filthy, not because they were broken.
As Xerox PARC showed us, having great ideas doesn't get you anywhere. As Apple showed us, implementing those ideas in a cost-effective way that consumers want is how you make money.
The people you're talking about go through a ton of screening before being allowed onto an aircraft. They couldn't just bring a bomb in from their car.
White people do nothing except help spread the disease by sending in soldiers and doctors to get sick then sending them to other places to infect people
What really gets me is how slashdot eats up shit like this, and only when it comes to feminism.
When I was here 10+ years ago, the community was what you would expect from a populated that trended heavily young, male, and nerdy.
But when I came back recently, the first thing I noticed was that the community is awful. Apparently everyone with 2 ounces of social skills left a while ago. The people left seem to be mostly basement dwelling neckbeards who have ridiculous issues with women.
Imagine getting caught up in a construction or accident re-direct, and their being a batch of auto-tickets issued for using the wrong lane(s) or traveling on a closed section of road!
That happened in LA this week. Thousands of people were diverted onto the 110's Express lanes because of a gun battle, causing many of them to get automated tickets. But the tickets were quickly canceled and any money already paid is being refunded.
As much as we hear about technology run amok and mindless government bureaucrats, there are still plenty of sensible human being in the world and in most cases they can overrule any stupid things the machines do.
That's why the factory (which will be owned more by Panasonic than Tesla) plans on selling batteries to every industry that uses them, not just electric cars.

The only way this can possibly work is to prevent them from boarding the plane.
OK. How do we do that?
Ebola victims don't show a temperature until many, many days after they've been infected
But people aren't contagious until after they show symptoms, e.g. fever. Taking people's temperature is a perfectly valid measure.
Maybe you should get some facts to go along with your strong opinions.

They are definitely not talking about /r/technology. That subreddit is only useful if you want to know what Kim Dotcom had for lunch yesterday.

The only reason I came back after a 12 year hiatus is that the IT department at work started blocking all of the popular sites.
All of the good editors and commentors moved to better sites. This is what's left.
Keep your snark.
If you're going to oppose overwhelming scientific consensus for political reasons, snark is a very important weapon.
Obama is in charge of the Australian government?
I'm am the Director of Security Operations at a major US airport. They do.
Sick brag.
The people you're talking about go through a ton of screening before being allowed onto an aircraft. They couldn't just bring a bomb in from their car.
You do realize that 50 to 60 percent of an airline ticket are taxes and airport fees?
Yeah....that's not true.
.22? Can you not afford a real gun?
One of the complaints against Apple is that they're using cheap, soft aluminum, not the tempered kind that you're talking about.
According to Slashdot, any laws I don't like are unconstitutional on the grounds that I say so.
Because you didn't really think that they were freezing your account for a 'good' reason other than to line their own pockets right?
Also Federal money laundering laws.

CDC and WHO have never shown a hint of being concerned when diseases break out in Africa.
You mean besides sending doctors and scientists to help?
We're addressing the specific nutjobbery at hand. Nobody is endorsing a political party.
That's why the factory (which will be owned more by Panasonic than Tesla) plans on selling batteries to every industry that uses them, not just electric cars.
Fair enough. Obama made that claim, with a citation, in his speech.
Wow. I forgot how far this site has fallen in the last few years. This is full on Breitbart.com level of nutjobbery.
