It took 7 years for scientists to count to 507 (the rings the clamshell form). I'm glad my math skills are superior. It must be all that metric math in the UK...
Yeah, Silly Metric. Only intellectually superior countries are holding out on this issue...

Agreed. I'm one of the fortunate ones - my boss actually follows the rules, but I've worked in places where the boss is exempt from basic network security. One was a small business where the boss 'pays the bills', so he got to 'make the rules'.
When his customer database was deleted he fired his IT guy in a fit of anger. He lost a lot of money in a wrongful dismissal settlement, and lost all of his business. It might have been the IT guy who did it - but the lawyers obviously felt that 'I don't need a slow virus scanner' was more likely the cause. Or at least, reasonable doubt.
Want to stay safe? Don't learn ANYTHING that the government doesn't explicitly approve.
If you're living in the 40s, that means avoid learning about integration. In the 90s? avoid learning about marriage equality. Living in 2013? Don't learn about avoiding government interrogation. Living in 2015? Don't even THINK about avoiding surveillance.
I did this at college with a peltier cooler, a backpack full of batteries, and a GPU water-cooling kit:\ It ain't rocket science, and Atlanta heat is a powerful motivator.
You did something different that had a similar effect.
Having the same results is not the same as doing the same thing.
That's awesome! It's a phenomenon, but I don't see how it's different from the experience of so many failed entrepreneurs. Especially when it doesn't shed light on the PERSON, and only talks about the experience.
Though the classic consoles are getting reboots this fall, there is no guarantee that new models will permanently revive the format's fortunes.'
No, they probably won't. The main "feature" of these reboots is to tie the consoles to Internet-based DRM and add always-on spy cameras whose official use is turning precise and effortless button-pushing to spastic, inaccurate and space-demanding motion controls. They're far worse than the previous generation, so why switch?
You're right. Progress is always negative, new features are always bad, and we should have stayed with our 2600s (or Dreamcasts).
GM is functionally incompetent when it comes to the internet. Tesla is new, small, agile, and responsive to the market. GM is still stuck on the couch with its hand in the chip bag, bitching about how easy kids have it these days.
Get off the couch GM, lose 50 pounds, and divorce yourself from the idea that you're owed something. Keep it up and this new generation that seems to have little interest in cars, preferring to bike everywhere and sees no particular status in owning a new car will put your fat ass outta business.
GM will continue to survive until it is forced to compete in real capitalism.
But hey, I'd rather car-shop online, and if that is EVER going to happen, law-makers have a vested interest in the success of GM (an "american" institution). Not so much in Tesla.
It started as a GreaseMonkey script, why can't that particular functionality be open sourced? The few times a month I'm forced to go on Facebook I make sure my Social Fixer is up to date, especially since I want to be signed out of chat automatically. Having all the games and apps on a separate tab is nice too. - HEX
Sure, open source fixes everything. Except, you know, legal threats.
Brazil has a lot of things going for it... but the moral high-ground one of those things. Brazil isn't exactly spotless when it comes to human rights abuse. Sure, it's not wide-spread mass surveillance, it's just regular police state concerns (non-existent rights for both the accused and the convicted, and systemic government corruption), though they're not doing so hot in promoting equality (or addressing their widening income gap and widespread poverty).
But hey, they're not wrong, and that doesn't excuse what the NSA is doing. Has done. Is accused of doing.
Although there are many good, reliable books that are several years old (on computer principles, logical logic and whatnot), you'll probably be better off sorting by year.
You'll end up putting a few great books farther down the line than you otherwise would, but sorting by publication date will ensure that the vast majority of the books are still relevant.
If you've got time, sort by quality. You're the expert, though, and your time is limited. Would you prefer something that is good enough - and done, or something that's perfect... but not available.
...what are the alternatives? Rolling your own crypto won't work well.
I suppose that depends on the type of information you're trying to protect - now you'll need to decide if it's worth even writing the information down!
I just upgraded to a smart phone and hated how every app I wanted to download wanted everything. Why should Pac Man need my contacts list and GPS information? So when I saw the submission I though ALL RIGHT!!!
The solution you are looking for is SElinux, and it is already enabled in the latest cyanogenmod nightlies.
Well, remaining mentally and physically active has been linked to prolonged life spans . ..
Right. So if I work hard, exercise and deprive myself of good food, I might live long enough for them to slow down my aging process to 1/10th of normal. And I'll have a chipper 4 more years until death, instead of several weeks.
In the last 30 years, when has the losing party every accepted the loss gracefully?
Sure, the article says "Mr Leyonhjelm accepts his party probably gained votes in error, with voters thinking they were choosing the Liberals."... but what else is he supposed to say?
When the people make a massive mistake in democracy, it's still their decision to make. Look at the american elections for the last 20 years. Both sides will say the people made mistakes.

Great. Another configuration change to manage on all our workstations.
No problem with anti-competitive practices, or inferior-by-default programs. Just don't make your system administrator ... administer anything else.
Why are we even holding onto PDFs, anyways?

What was the point of examining this individual animal?
Look at us still talking when there's science to do...

Maybe even some wool socks if they're really pushing things.
Somewhere in translation, it was changed from Massive ESD to a much more threatening Massive EMP.

A multi-billion dollar corporation has creepy stuff in their secret lair?
And it is used to promoted company "culture"?
Call me when you find a giant company that doesn't do this.
If it goes off-road and off-ground, it's starting to sound like that jetpack I was promised back in the 50s.
HURRAH FOR PROGRESS.

Having the same results is not the same as doing the same thing.
In many regards, but especially to Mr. Musk's business model.
So, you're proposing that Tesla will face competition from a car that uses alternatives to alternative fuel?
Hofstadter would be proud.
That's awesome! It's a phenomenon, but I don't see how it's different from the experience of so many failed entrepreneurs. Especially when it doesn't shed light on the PERSON, and only talks about the experience.
Oh, and except, you know, that he didn't fail.

My Surface Pro (not RT) update went swimmingly.
Its faster than it was before. Oddly, I now have two voice recorder apps. ? But everything I previously had on the machine works perfectly.
Not surprising - The x64 / x32 versions never stopped working.
Though, if you had an older (AMD) processor, 8.1 never really started working...

"newly discovered" != "new". Those streams may have been there for millions of years. They certainly were there when the continent was free of ice.
It's new knowledge, even if it isn't a new phenomenon (which it might be - who knows?). Kinda like ... math. Relativity (as it is). Microbes.
Even if it isn't a new development, or a new phenomenon (we don't know), we do need a baseline measurement.

So, enthusiast computing switches to either smaller devices, or focuses on software development.
Doesn't really matter - how many companies cater to 'horse-and-buggy' enthusiasts, after all?
Year of the BSD desktop.... FINALLY!
Sure, it's an advertisement (or slashvertisement, *groan*) ... but this one is highly relevant.
To someone.
Somewhere.
Maybe.
