A story at the Hill took over nine seconds to load; at Politico, seventeen seconds; at CNN, over thirty seconds. This is the bullshit web...
Heh...does anyone on Slashdot seriously run without at least at least script blocking in place?
I know some folks complain the web doesn't work right and it takes some effort at times. To each his own. The rest of us have a much different web experience.
Note - If noone loaded those elements, they would fade away from use.
Not really viable. There are too many people for the current population to survive in the manner described. Fortunately the increase in mortality will solve a lot of that within a year or two
(Except maybe for the Mormons, I'm pretty sure LDS means Lethal Dug-in Survivalists)
Until we get public officials that don't believe Microsoft Support wants them to install VNC on their computer to resolve a virus issue, this will be continue to be done for us at no charge by benevolent third parties.
This is worse then you think and needs to be stopped.
The 1s are dangerous. Very hard to see and they can go right through a shoe. Best case you wind up with a trip to the doctor to get a stupid tetanus shot just from walking down the sidewalk.
Also dangerous even if you do collect them properly and put them in the trash. Someone else in the family goes to push down on the trash and pulls back a hand that looks like a pincushion.
the value of the picture on the stamp is decorative; So a few pennies worth of the stamp's price can be attributed to its aesthetic value, and then 5% of that few pennies' worth per stamp is a reasonable royalty: not 5% of the total postage.
Even a few pennies is vastly overstated.
Approximately ZERO percent of the value of the stamp, ignoring the statistically insignificant philatelist community, is the picture on it.
As a rule, nobody buys the stamp for the picture, or even looks at it before purchasing a book. At the most, if there are multiple options they might chose one over the other, but not a single additional sale would be made or not made regardless.
The actual extension name confuses at least one major email protection service and it won't catch an email containing it even if you do add it to your extension/type blocks. Test after blocking.
Also worthy of note - Chrome warns settingcontent-ms is a potentially dangerous file type if you download one (haven't tried other browsers yet.)
Not enough gravity to retain an atmosphere permanently
Tens of thousands of years would be good enough for a start though. We can theoretically smash comets into it to create atmosphere, and again every ten thousand years to top it off.
The challenges are quite daunting, and expense likely makes it a non starter during any of our lifetimes. But impossible remains to be seen.
Another finding in the report: Most Americans would like NASA to focus on Earth, instead of Mars.
Read TFA yourself of course, but note the following:
The questions shown about what should NASA have as its priority included:
"Monitor key parts of the earth's climate system" "Monitor asteroids/objects that could hit Earth" and "Send astronauts to Mars"
Whether you believe man is changing the climate or not, it still is an obvious priority preference to monitor climate unless you are really fringe and don't think it changes at all.
Additionally, even that fringe is going to consider not getting whapped by rocks..from..spaaace.. higher priority than having someone take a joyride out to one.
In his own note to investors, analyst Doug Creutz of Cowen & Co. pins the blame on a lackluster marketing campaign rather than franchise fatigue.
Marketing has little to nothing to do with it, but at least that's less stupid than the SW Fatigue shtick. Star Wars fans would have thrown money at the franchise forever without a second thought if they hadn't put social evangelists in charge and allowed them to burn it down.
Slashdot Mirror
and truck with a big v8 to put in it.
Not to mention the natural beauty, and peace and quiet.
Until you start the thing maybe :-p

If you aren't buying new things regularly, you are just a support expense.
First company to go to 11 notches wins.
Agreed. I want her to be right just because that's an awesome name.

Wait...Medievia got colored text???
Maybe I shoulda kept playing :)

I think you mean "Flippy"
Something that groups programs together according to your preference.
It seems like we used to have something like that in Windows
Maybe this explains why historically guys have such an issue with 'STOP!'
192.168.1.x is just too damned crowded.
I moved to 192.168.2.x ages ago.
Or Lithgow

Trending could be useful in its own right if they just wouldn't screw with it. Sadly curating is all the rage with FaceTwitTube.
>>Yeah these "algorithmic feeds" are annoying as fuck. I don't need the service removing what it doesn't want me to see.
Fixed.
It's the days where it requires five minutes of work and you put in 0 that get you.
What about one space after a period?
Location services use GPS, CellTower signal, and WiFi.
I could see a case if location services are turned off maybe, but for no sim? that's dumb, one isn't needed.
Punggye-ri may not even be usable at this point. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Punggye-ri+collapse
Awfully nice of them to offer to decommission it at this point :-p
This is a purely symbolic gesture to improve their optics.
