Apple is pushing two-factor authentication right now, with an implementation that sends a numeric code to any of its devices that are registered to you other than the one on which you are authenticating. If you have two iPhones, an iPad and an Apple computer and change your Apple ID main password, two-factor auth takes you through several rounds of authenticating the change on each possible permuted pair of all of your devices. You will spend most of a day just entering two-factor authentication codes on one device after another.
Because of the messiness involved with changing an Apple ID password you make a point of never intentionally changing it - except that every third or so operating system update adds more rococo clauses to the ever-stiffening list of requirements for this password, requiring you to change it. Let's see now, three or more capitals, at least four numbers, an emoji, and two Unicode kanji....
Cupertino might consider replacing the numeric two-factor with a Bluetooth, rather than a plug-in, implementation of this hardware dongle. Place your dongle close enough to all of your devices, and it merrily plays its part in all of the authentications.
So we had best wait a year before doing anything with it. Until it's ready for human use you don't have a vaccine, you have a hype train.
Relax. This disease is not hitting the US, so Ebola-ravaged countries won't have to wait years for the vaccine or need to have half their Ebola at-risks given a placebo. The final testing is in progress now in the field.
It not going to "soon be the norm"! Good lLord. get out of the basement and speak to real people - none of whom want this crap/
Within twenty years, people who want to indulge in the nostalgic experience of "driving manual" will have to go special state parks in Tennessee or Georgia where they can drive a Camaro through Potemkin villages set up as pat of the experience.
This experiment will be interesting purely as a wear test. Ifthey can make a panel that will withstand road wear reasonably well and not itself be a hazard to drivers, then they can look at improving power production.
"All currency (including gold) is an agreement between people that something has value. Bitcoin is no different. You're under the illusion that money is real, which it isn't. It's all a collective, convenient illusion."
But gold at least is broadly accepted as a standard of value across most cultures, and is easy to validate because of its density. The value of BTC is purely in its limited supply.
"I've never used or considered using Bitcoin and I don't know a single person who has. "
When BTC first went live, my big concern was that someone would crack the algorithm for generating it and it would all either disappear in a flash or infinite amounts of it would be created, demolishing its value like the Zimbabwean dollar. It has now been around long enough that there is little possibility of that happening.
But store it anywhere, in one of those online exchanges or on your own computer, and the hackers still seem to have a million ways of stealing it. Exchanges go poof all the time, carrying millions of dollars worth of BTC wit them each time. No thanks.
If you mean the 5400 rpm spinning drives and the i5 processor, those are the lowest of all the desktop build options. The high-end alternatives are not available on any laptop.
So you plug your laptop into a docking station. Now that your slow laptop processor and GPU are sweating away driving a large display, you're still not getting the performance available from a less expensive desktop.
Working on laptops is a horrible experience. How mac users can tolerate this is baffling.
Trollish as this may be, you have raised an interesting question. ALL laptops are crappy compared to a good desktop running the same OS: cramped keyboard and display, processor low-specced to prevent overheating, components that have to be ruggedized against vibration and shock. Everything on a laptop costs more to repair than on a desktop.
We have been putting up with the limitations of laptops because of the need to be able to run the same software on the road as on your desk. Now that tablets and phones are taking over on the road, the advantages of good desktops are being recognized again.
I think thief should file a lawsuit against filmmaker for making his private live public without consent. Probalbly he would be able even to defend himself from charge of theft, because it evidently was a provocation.
Yes, this would be a totally European thing to do. But act fast because the political climate there is changing fast.
The LA Metro already reaches as far as San Bernardino, approximately a million miles from City Hall, but only the line from Union Station through Hollywood is underground. Underground construction is expensive, especially in a city that is riddled with faults and petroleum pockets. A portion of the Santa Monica line now under construction is being built through tar.

Is this happening to other people too? For example, might there be someone other than BeauHD who posted a renewable energy story?
If everyone is going over the speed limit, everyone is a road hazard and everyone should be fuckin arrested.

How does one go about catching a prion infestation from such a person?

Arizona has a high percentage of very old, and otherwise handicapped, drivers. A reasonable SDC implementation would be just what they're looking for.
Good riddance to to the Bay Area with its tech-hating protesters, and welcome to Arizona!
