Having been following the progress of HS2 through Parliament, I think it's safe to assume that the main means of transport that it will be enable will be yachts for the various Ministers, CEOs and lobbyists concerned in railroading (ho ho) it through.
Understanding the principles of how to make a computer work is no more 'vocational' in today's world than understanding the principles of opening a door.
Sadly no, the ADHD Kid is still jumping up and down and shrieking about how great it is that there are (at least) 4 major versions currently on the go. I only wish I were joking about that.
So the only way he can tell people to get off of them is by going around yelling it.
He's right, but he's also a crazy neckbeard who shares RMS's talent for alienating anyone who doesn't already agree with him in every particular. With friends like that, the FSF hardly needs enemies.
Just buy in someone else's video, spend the savings on better dorm rooms for the Chinese and Korean students who are funding your Dean's yacht. It's not like he really cares whether they learn anything, as long as they (or superficially similar professional exam-sitters) get good passes and keep the school's 'reputation' up.
To be honest, the only reason I eventually chopped in 2K for XP was that MS started shipping tools and SDKs that (arbitrarily) refused to install on 2K.
Windows is a operating system for hosting applications, generally ones written by someone else. Everything else that it insists on doing is completely extraneous to my requirements - that it just shuts up and gets into the background. MS has failed to make a compelling argument in favour of 7. I don't find "or else" particularly persuasive.
For when you're too cheap to spring for a BerkeleyDB license, some amateur playing a decade of catchup gives you everything you'd ever need, as long as you don't need support, performance, stability or data integrity.
Globally, BREW, generally on top of *Tron, wipes the floor with iOS, JME and Android combined, but who cares about those teeming billions of yellow devils, right? I mean, they only use their phones as their primary computing device, what do they know?
Because as we all know, the Slashtard Collective knows far more about this than the actual scientists working on it, who never saw this coming and have therefore just been sitting pat rather than working on new solutions to feed the world.
Point of order: nobody, ever, has felt "terror" at the approach of the weedy nasally vegan carbon units infesting the Steve Irwin, or whatever bandwagon jumping name they've crayoned on it this week.
Oh, give it up already, it was a niche quirk

The Bitcoin Strikes Back

· Score: 2, Insightful
What was the peak (notional) value? A few tens of millions of dollars? That's just noise. A few nerds, pimps and pushers got all excited, played with it for a while, then got bored. The number of bitcoin nodes has been dropping steadily even before the Bit Sploit, and that's coming from the true believers on the bitcoin forums.
Sure, it's fun to discuss the theory, but can we please stop pretending that it was or could ever be a real currency used by actual folks.
An external battery pack has about 80% of the energy of a hand grenade stored in it and can get past the, uh, highly trained TSA agents. Heck, you could probably carry a hand grenade on if you put an Apple logo on it.
Sourcing the parts and getting it made really isn't a problem. [...] I've managed it *as an individual* with no organization backing me using these services.
If you did it for under $100 then you must value yourself cheaply. $100 doesn't even buy an hour of my time.
Then factor in the costs of extra batteries, plus replacements as you wear them out, plus your costs when your cars do run out of electrons and whine to a halt in the middle of an intersection.

I'm just hoping that the Court will cut the baby in half... and then bury it.

Invoking Godwin's Law in the first post is worse than anything that Hitler ever did.

Your post is very insightful, and I'm sure you'd do a much better job of it if you ever bothered. Where do I sign up?

Toga, toga!
Heck, I can't even remember anyone watching fictional TV in that documentary.
K5 was... of its time. I'm still stoked about the the inaugural meeting of the Collaborative Media Foundation. Any day now!
I can neither confirm nor deny that I was teh K5 ASCII Reenactment Players.

They only recanted when it became clear that some of their customers were wearing Big Boy pants and hats.
So screw them, to even contemplate supporting SOPA was absolutely unforgivable, I hope they die penniless in a gutter.
Insightful and funny, you win an Internets.

We're talking in the "If we had bacon, we could have bacon and eggs, if we had eggs" sense.

Good luck getting replacement batteries for your Tesla in 10 years.
