Serious question. TFA mentions that Wayland has advantages on mobile devices but does that make "Farewell X" a foregone conclusion? Is it really necessary to run the same display server on your phone and your desktop?
Gotta be careful with this one. We bought one goat. He did a great a great job. A guy from the ASPCA came and told us that single goats get depressed and lonely and that we had to buy him some friends or they would confiscate him. There's apparently a 3 goat minimum here. Now the lawn looks pretty sparse and we have to buy more food for the goats. I was able to get them a temp job taking care of a local open space till they ate all of the weeds. Goats don't understand the whole "slow down...you're gonna get us all laid off" thing. I have them posted on Craigslist looking another job but for now they're still eating my lawn.
....will end the current cycle and release new consoles with 3-D television support once those become widely adopted. Until then there is no reason to release new hardware while current systems can be updated (software and/or firmware) by the user. Once this occurs a new cycle of content will be released including all of your old favorites (read same old shit) now in 3-D.

third, it, for some reason, despite being a shopping cart, has 10,000+ lines of code. go figure.
Magento is also a content management system, inventory management system and a customer relations utility. 10k lines of code is probably reasonable in this case.
I completely agree with your first 2 points, however, and "very developer hostile" is a spot-on description.
"...with 50/50 bleach and water mix"
There's where you went wrong. A bleach solution of 200ppm (parts per million) is sufficient to kill molds,yeasts, and any kind of odor causing bacteria. It's unlikely to have any affect on metals if rinsed. It's even safe to drink if you don't over do it. A 50/50 mix is used specifically for its oxidizing properties. Like making your undies *really* white.

Should IT Unionize?
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
I am a former member of the Communications Workers of America. I was a Production Control Data Processing Associate (read Operator) in a large datacenter. It was a not requirement of the job that I join the union though it was emphatically "recommended" that I join. I enjoyed some excellent benefits as part of the union: scheduled pay raises, 8 hour days with night and weekend differential pay, good insurance, etc. but ultimately lost my job thanks to the union. Most of my coworkers were in the "30+ year vet" category and had only ever worked on mainframe machines. Since the union voted on such things as "job description changes" the big expensive-to-maintain-and-run machines had to stay in order to retain the expensive-to-utilize-or-retire veteran employees. As of 2003 the datacenter had 60 full time operators running 3 OS/390 machines 24/7 . This meant that they paid me (only a 5 year vet) a crapload of money to watch a couple of backups run every day. Eventually the company moved all processing to UNIX servers in an outsourced datacenter, told the union to go to hell, and closed our datacenter. I might still be employed there today with a nice pension to look forward to had the union been respectful of the company's needs and less self-serving. Sadly *all* unions are self-serving to the point of eventually bringing about their own demise.
You know my girlfriend? LOL
That's exactly what happened we got our first HDTV. She made me change it back. Oddly, everything on the stretched picture now looks normal to me somehow...except everyones ass looks huge.
Side note: Local news broadcasts look far better than anything else in HD from Comcast. I blame over-compression for the less than stellar quality on the majority of HD shows.
"Legalize it for use in homes..."
That would upset the "War On Drugs" industrial complex.
Too much money is made by the government and fringe industries to ever let that just happen.
Myself I envision a combination of solar panels and batteries doing the "cracking". Look how much time we leave our cars sitting in the parking lot in the daytime.
So it takes 3000 years for a snowflake to melt off the bottom. Cool.
Here's an interesting thought: The ice in the structure is only 3000 years old but the structure itself may have been there for millions of years.
Now it's gone.
In addition I would have to argue that providing an alternate text-only page, perhaps listing the minimum browser requirements for the main page,etc., constitutes "support" for less capable browsers.

Seriously, you're right about how it *should* work,but pandemics are rare and it's only a matter of time before someone decides that all data that cost so much to collect is going to waste. Then there's the transitive rational that ruins the whole privacy aspect the CDC is tryin to maintain ie-> "terrorism is an infectious disease" or "the disease was spread *by* terrorists" and now the (insert TLA here) has access to that info immediately until the end of time.
Yep it's a noble goal but it sounds to me like an avenue to control the masses the first time the wrong person get his hands on the "the easy button" this provides. Noble goal but not a noble result.
It may save lives but increase overall human misery. Power like that just *finds* its way into the wrong hands.

Integrated with the APU. That might be cool. Motherboards could be very, very tiny in the future.

...but don't wireless food thermometer/probes already exist for this exact purpose?
1. They are not used for an unintended purpose.
2. They do not require soldering.
3. They do not run linux.
For more on why this is relevant here refer to your Slashdot handbook.
...or maybe GoogleMaps craterview would be cool

Denver to Vegas: $0
L.A. to Vegas: $0
Chicago to Vegas: $10 for lunch
N.Y. to Vegas: $100 for accomodations
anywhere-you-are to anywhere-else: 2x the energy cost to get there
Let the casinos build it out and it will get done fast and under budget and won't be run like the trains in Soviet Russia (like Amtrack)

This a good time for an active brainstorming of "what *else* could we do with this?"

Why not just add the option of voting to the transaction list on existing ATM's?
I can't be the first guy to think of this, can I?
