.. as much as I like EVs, I like my current condo more. As of right now, there is no way for the couple hundred cars parked in my condo's underground to get charged. The changes to the building's electrical grid to make charging possible are absolutely cost prohibitive. So, no EV for me my neighbours and other millions of people in a similar situation.
Not everyone lives, or wants to live, in a detached house in the suburbia.
Don't forget that a lot of people there have decent CS and maths education, but less than optimal employment opportunities.
Add to that a dim view of government in general, and you have a bunch of young people who will be happy to spend whatever time it takes to achieve a certain goal. For the wast majority the nefariousness of the goal is a complete non issue.
Would have to "fake" the Comcast SSL creds as well. They, Comcast, might be greedy and stuff, but I can't believe they would be so incompetent as not to use SSL.
Wait, what??? Your kindle does not have those apps? I guess you must mean "not when I first took it out of the box", because there were few Android apps that I couldn't load on my Fire.
Of course, if you mean a "Kindle paperwhite"... you are right.
If I made that food for $5/plate... I may as well go to a restaurant, where I pay only a bit more and have the whole experience.
For a simple dish like that if your cost is more than $2.50, you're doing something wrong. (West coast of the US retail prices. If you do your shopping at Costco/CashAndCarry/Winco/ethnic supermarket you should be able to get it well under $2/plate.)
Absolutely. However, this could provide decent content for my projector. (Once you've experienced a properly set-up system with a 240" screen, you will never want to look at a TV.)
Given the benefits of Plex - automatic download of info, sorting, presentation, etc, etc - and the fact that it runs beautifully on a power sipping pogoplug - running Debian, or Archlinux - there is no reason not to run Plex. There are many other benefits in having a very low power box running Linux.
Some third party apps still work. Most will no longer do so after the middle of May.
My OBi202 is one, and so is GroovIP, and so on and so on. Bummer, for sure, but other free, or nearly so, alternatives do exist. So, in the end... shrug.
I use Win8. All my stuff is on my HDDs. There is no reason you HAVE to use the cloud.
Yes, you have to actually open BOTH eyes and even get more than two neurons firing at the same time when setting things up, but it's not at all mandatory to use the cloud.
>but the majority of end-users just want shit that works.
Exactly why I load Tomato on any router I set up. Of course this assumes the person I do it for bought a router I recommended, or I used one of mine.
Tomato's "access restrictions" are dead easy to set up, and it's a simple, quite efficient, first line of defence to keep kids in line. I can show even clueless parents how to setup a "no internet after 21:30" rule, or block specific domains by keywords.
Most of this is not easily achievable with OEM firmware.
Err... I don't know where you looked, but I don't know of any Chromebook that can't be switched to a full Linux distro. Usualy more than one distro too.
Seems a lot of people are critical of Calibre. OK, it's not perfect. However, I also can't help but notice that no one is saying something like "It sucks because of "X" and "Y" and "insert application name here" is a much better choice. Or, better yet "It sucks because of "X" and "Y" and I am days away from releasing my app witch will take care of all the issues and..."
Fucking gimmegimme generation.
Depends on how much $$$ he is getting for those 80 hours, and why he does it. (Do that for two years so you can pay off your house... Good. Do that because you have no life... Not so good.)

> Imagine going on a road trip where every hour and a half you stopped for an hour to charge your car.
To _ME_ this would be a definite plus. People like, for example, my father, would need therapy after such a trip.
Or, do it all from your browser via "airdroid".
Billions of people go top some kind of church or another. So ...

He did say Perl, so ...

Killed? Why? How about harvested and pickled. Yummy.
The evil you know ...

When you spend 98% of you time in your mom's basement, even regular lights seem blinding. Just sayin'.
>"similar services". Similar ... 'nough said.

And I'll buy it from you. So, go ahead build me a AIO that looks as good as that Dell, and is a "much better rig", and I'll pay you the $2100.

And still, your dick remains as small as it ever was. You might want to look into buying an Escalade, or a Hummer.
Anyway, think about animals, little kids, etc. when you're electrifying your furniture.
That's exactly what I was thinking. That, and how many hits my CC camera clips would get on youtube ... if you know what I mean.
