Superior in specifications, maybe. But I'd say that 99.999% of today's programmers have no fucking clue what code optimisation really means. This is nostalgia about a time when people actually gave a fuck about what they were doing.
Energy conservation doesn't need to equal depraving ourselves of something. The usual tips about not leaving the lights on in empty rooms are fine, but you can apply the same reasoning for more modern things.
A small example would be Netflix. You can use a small box like an Apple TV, which has a 6W power supply, or something like an Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 and use from 10 to 20 times more power for absolutely no reason.
Try to reduce your daily energy usage whenever possible. The first one to benefit is yourself, via a lower power bill at the end of the month.
Indeed, I was about to post something along the lines of "can we stop saying it's for PCs when we all know it means Windows-only?"
I'm glad to hear about the triple-OS release, hopefully the Mac and Linux versions will be native and not Windows executables wrapped inside a shell such as Cider.
We don't have "shitty networks". We have one to three networks, all the others are buying bandwidth from those. That's why all plans from all carriers are 95% alike in price, minutes, sms, data, etc.
The best use for delivery drones is not Amazon purchases. This doesn't happen often enough, it's vendor-specific and it's too concentrated around their warehouses. Compared to other usages, it's a drop in an ocean.
You need to target something that will be viable even in the smallest of towns:
1. medication, because pills are small and light enough. Ideal candidate for the first phase using very small, low-cost lightweight drones.
2. fast-food and restaurant deliveries, because if you remove drinks, it's medium-weight items at best (pizza, burgers, chicken, fries, etc). It can be faster and cheaper than driving, there's no stopping at red lights so there's less chances for the food to cool down. Just have the container insulated like the pizza delivery bags.
3. small groceries items, maybe put a weight and volume limit on the deliveries. How often do we have to get there to get that one or two item(s) that we need to complete a recipe or a meal? This drone would benefit from having a cooled container for the items.
Okay, totally off-topic for the thread, but on-topic as a reply to the parent post.
This kind of thing should push manufacturers to put hardware on-off switches for both the microphone and the webcam. A simple LED isn't enough, especially if those LEDs aren't directly tied to the power lines of the hardware anymore - I'm looking at you, Apple.

Neither. It's in ISO format but the year is truncated.
I only subscribe to Linux Vorbis.
That topic was in one of the episodes of Il était une fois l'espace.
Is that something you get from using Facebook?
I use Apple's Pages, Numbers and Keynote.
Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!
Same here, but for performance reasons. Steam is extremely heavy on OS X, I avoid it if I can launch the game by itself.

Use a jetpack, problem solved!
With the Conservatives acting like dictators and making bullshit pro-corporations, anti-people laws, I hope Québec splits soon enough.
Then it will pave the way for the USA to let Texas and California go their own separate way, too.
I'm glad to learn that my toaster is vulnerable to Heartbleed.

Sorry, english is not my primary language. I did mean depriving.

Amerika is full of Amerikans. Amerikans live north of Mexicans and south of Canadians, eh?

Even at 30$ per month it's still too expensive. Basic plans are already that low if not lower, even in Canada.
What we need is a phone that's free to use. The first company to achieve that goal wins the game.

The NSA really is out to get everyone! Except themselves, of course. That's private.
There's a difference between copying a photo and claiming to be the original photographer.
