    So this will power 3 delorians for a 30 year temporal displacement?

  3. Re: I like the open plan on Office Space: TV Documentary Looks At the Dreadful Open Office · · Score: 2

    I only don't like it when the managers get their own offices. If they want a private conversation. They should have to grab one of the meeting rooms just like us plebs. The bank I am contracted to at the moment operates open an for all the areas I've worked in, and in most of their big corporate sites now have full wireless, standing desks you can move to, small meetingrooms, large kitchen and cafe space as well as cube farms. No one gets a perminant private office, and over all I like working there. The company that employs me however has got cramped open plan for the plebs, private offices for middle management and above, only one meeting room per floor and the tiny kitchen bay is right by the copier and printer so is never quiet. Luckily, I almost never have to work there.

    Even if it's dark, it's star would still be there, same mass bending space time to form a gravity well. If tinge star blew up, it would probably destroy the planet. If it escaped, you have an 11 jupiter sized bowling ball just waiting to be captured by another star, at just the right angle for a stable orbit?

    Don't forget gravitational lending and wobble as other methods to detect exo planets.

  9. AIO obsolescence on All-in-Ones Finally Grow Up, With Fast Graphics, SSDs, and CPUs · · Score: 1

    The biggest problem with these all in ones is that the pcs inside become obsolete well before the screen does. Most of my monitors have survived several pcs each. So I stick with Mac minis hoping that someday apple might just stick the brains of an iMac into amino chassis

    They can also tell when random bob downloads and the shares with his contacts too so they can follow those contacts. It's already known their policy is to capture and keep ANYTHING encrypted. Trying to hide in a crowd of people not hiding actually makes you stand out.

    That's why I encrypt my iPhone backup, and keep it local, not on iCloud.

    Phew, I'm mad then the best encryption is made outside the USA so it doesn't have to be exported. Though this does mean is citizens may be restricted to the broken backdoored systems.

    And of course, the us paid an informant to break the laws of another country to gather information without a warrant, or due process. Infant, wouldn't that make the informants actions industrial espionage? That might be illegal in some countries.

  18. Removing my Google-Fix on Slashdot Asks: How Will You Replace Google Reader? · · Score: 1

    Mail, contacts and calendar - options are going to me.com - not really a fan of more tie in, but at least supports push mail to my phone and tablet, or a zimbra mailserver appliance as a VM. Online filestorage: Dropbox and Mega are filling that role nicely, I might ass an owncloud server on a VM. Online Office suite: you know, a crappy old PC with enough RAM running ubuntu, VMware Server, a desktop VM, and the above VMs, and VNC or X11 tunnelled over SSH works well enough for me. I can get VNC or SSH/X11 clients on just about anything. Could also run an Open SSL VPN appliance. Software cost for the above: free Might have to buy a DNS name, as DynDNS is getting less friendly, Ive already lost my old [host].homelinux.org domain from them 8(

  19. Re: A few things to watch out for on Ask Slashdot: Wiring Home Furniture? · · Score: 1

    for my desk at home, I simply took a blank wall plate fitted 4 USB cables. Cut a hole in the desk surface off to one side and mounted the plate. The USB cables then go back to an active USB hub mounted under the desk. My MAc Mini is held in place with a bracket under there too, with a circular port at the rear to bring cables up onto the desk. Ive got a USB superdrive uder the stand of my monitor, and keyboard and mous are cordless. The number of people who have simply thought the superdrive awas a new Mac is just rediculous 8)

  20. Re: Particular diet. on Grocery Delivery Lowers Carbon Dioxide Emissions Over Individual Trips · · Score: 1

    The delivery services could be third party, not run by the store. The pickets are then working for you not the supermarket. The supermarkets could also grow produce on their roofs with vertical farming, further reducing transport costs.

  21. Re:Security Updates - Yeah Right on NetWare 3.12 Server Taken Down After 16 Years of Continuous Duty · · Score: 1

    Most systems we ever replaced net ware with windows nt servers need twice as many boxes to do the job for the same number if users, with the same uptime. Netware clustering was way ahead of MS in its day. Just working with a customer last week upgrading group wise for exchange. GroupWise and their edirectory servers had failed so infrequently they were actually short of people who knew how it worked.

  23. Re: rocket up and down video on SXSW: Elon Musk Talks Reusable Rockets, Tesla Controversy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Flying a rocket like this doesn't make much sense.... Here on earth, but as you can't parachute down to the lunar surface, or rely on chutes on Mars for hopping from place to place, then a reusable VTOL rocket becomes really handy. But it does have to be test flown somewhere, and easier to test here than out there.
