Seriously, how many people have even driven a car over 112mph, and if so, why? Unless you live in a very remote place with very low population, the chance of traffic being light enough to even exceed the normal speed limit is pretty low.
Also if you are into driving at high speed, do remember that remote places with low population don't tend to have good roads. At least that's what it is like in the UK.
If your second-hand PC has a Windows license sticker, you can just get a normal Windows installation disk, install Windows, and use the product key on the license sticker... What this guy did is clearly a copyright violation.
Why do they have to use flying drones? Flying drones generate so much noise as it approaches the criminal. They can be easily discovered, and destroyed.
Wikileaks hadn't been pushing Trump leaks as hard as Clinton leaks. Now its supports are trying to take down US infrastructure. I used to think that Wikileaks is a neutral organisation promoting government transparency, but not any more. I kind of feel that they are up to no good.
What do you propose? Should Wikileaks hold off on Clinton until they have an equal amount on Trump?
Is that your definition of neutral? That they must expose corruption in equal amounts for both sides?
How about not sensationalising everything they publish? How about not making political statements against Clinton? They can leak stuff without appearing to be political, you know.

What's the difference between CureCoin and my Folding@Home score? Why should I bother with setting up a CureCoin account, when I have a Folding@Home account?
If you operate a pirate radio in the US, surely FCC would come and knock on your door? In the UK, the OFCOM would come and known on your door. I am a licensed amatuer radio operator in the UK.
Raspberry Pi was never designed for heavy workload, this is why this comparison is ridiculous - it is a bit like comparing apple and oranges. However the comparison is still very interesting, as it tells us how far our technology has advanced.
Money of some kind will always be there as long as people enjoy exchange things, and assign values to the things they exchange.
Before the conception of money, people simply exchanged one thing for another. You can argue that the things they exchanged were money. If you use electronic payment to obtain physical goods, you are effectively exchanging information for something physical. However I think you would definitely agree that you definitely exchanged money. The point is that the money as a concept evolves over time.
I think there is a question that those people who propose moneyless society need to ask themselves. The question is whether they are willing to give away their favourite childhood toy away for free, or they want something back in exchange. The toy itself may not have any value in other people's opinion. However for the toy's owner, it may have some values because of the associated memories. I suppose this is why sometimes celebrities' possession can attract large amounts of money at auctions.
The money is only there to help the process of exchanging things. It can have many different forms. Ultimately I think as long as people need something to help them to exchange things, that thing will be called "money".
The problem is you can't enforce that you're friend didn't enable WiFi Sense without looking over his shoulder. He might end up accidentally distributing YOUR passphrase when he shouldn't be.
The only way to be sure that this doesn't happen is to add an ugly _optout line at the end of your SSID. Frankly Mr. Joe Person down the street shouldn't have to know about Microsoft's new feature to be confident that his passphrase isn't being passed around without his permission.
If you are that paranoid, you might want to implement some kind of RADIUS server. I have never looked into it myself though.
Rumour says the PCI whitelist is no longer the case in the latest generation Thinkpad. I haven't tried it out myself personally though. http://blog.lenovo.com/en/blog...
I don't want "convergence" between my devices. Why would anyone?
My phone is used for wildly different tasks than my laptop, which is used for mostly different tasks from my desktop. Any form of convergence is going to hurt at least one of the workflows involved.
I want my phone software to be as lightweight/minimalistic as possible so my phone's battery can last, for example. A desktop doesn't have to care about that at all.
Just make the best phone software, or PC software, you can, don't half-ass both.
If convergence means that I have to put up UI like Gnome 3, then please don't coverge.
After NVIDIA's refusal to step up to the line and assume their financial responsibility for causing so many laptops to die of thermal stress in previous generations, I feel no empathy for them. I DO have empathy for the rest of the people in the supply line that are getting dicked over by your friend, just not NVIDIA.
Well, they are resolving the responsibility issue by stop you from overclocking...
And still a tremendous waste of money to placard those who fund NASA for emotional reasons, not scientific reasons.
What do you think is going to do more for NASA? The discovery/proof that Mars once was a planet with liquid water and perhaps even microbial life (which is HUGE from a scientific perspective), or two Good Ole American Boys planting the Stars & Stripes on the surface of the red planet, broadcast "live" on all major TV networks in the US and around the world? It is all about emotion: enthousiasm, national pride, and conquering that Final Frontier and leading the way. That's how it worked with Apollo.
Not to mention that they probably needed something to balance the probe anyway -- might as well use someone's ashes for symbolic purposes.
Probably not. GLONASS is a recent addition to the smartphones. It is space technology. They also want to use satellite to track the planes, rather than having to pick up the black boxes when bad things happen. I think people will interact with space technology more often. I think at least the interest in Earth-bound space technology will increase.

You shut people off from the world, they'll find ways to get messages in and out.
Let them chat.
Alternatively make the lessons interesting, so nobody can be bothered to chat.

I run windows 7 SP1 and I have NO problem. Auto updates OFF.
Surely that's the perfect way of getting all the viruses and malwares?
As opposed to turning it on and getting what are, by definition, viruses and malware?
Well, there is a difference between adware and malware...

the ultimate linux-based software development laptop now
I run Debian Jessie on a Thinkpad T440p, it works great. I think Thinkpads are good for Linux in general.

A lot of the clay tablets basically contain accounting information - they weren't meant to last.

Oracle seems to be less innovative than Google. Let's root for Google.
I thought Instagram does the same thing.

The worst thing in KDE 5 is that they are dropping the support for traditional tray icons.

These business are local businesses which originally did not depend on Amazon. So what stops people from bypassing Amazon after locating the business?
These information are mostly available in the public domain already. So what's the big deal about the leak?
