I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
Who cares if it beat the other large plant at responding by a few seconds. They "arrested" the slump about as well as tossing a bucket of water on a forest fire. It was another large plant that actually fixed the slump. The Gladstone coal generator in Queensland.
Look at how they try to overplay the impact with the 2nd output chart. The scale for the coal plant is 0-600MW. The Tesla pant is 0-9MW. Compare them on the same scale and the tesla plant would barely be a bump on that chart.
The UPS in my home can respond quicker in then giant mechanical 600MW power pant. Doesn't mean it's any good at propping up a power grid.
I also really doubt anyone in the industry is "stunned" a small solid state battery plant could respond quicker then a massive turbine that needs to wind up to adjust its output.
If the Tesla plant respond in some unexpected or surprising way then there is a problem.
The Tesla technology is amazing but this story is ridiculous.
WAPA replaced the synchronized stations by buying other stations on different frequencies. They have 6 stations across the island. WAPA was not "neutered". People just had to move the dial as they moved around the island. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The synchronized relays where licensed for EXPERIMENTAL use. With no power the old synchronized stations would be off the air just like the 5 other stations they maintain now.
The synchronized system was more complicated then just running the stations on different frequencies like they do now. Each relay had to be GPS disciplined and needed perfect back-haul. If one of the relays become out of sync it would actually end up jamming the other stations. Imagine one of the relay stations getting out of wack and you have no way to get to the site to fix it or shut it down.
It was a big thing around here in the NYC metro area.You where even able to personalize the ringback. So when your girlfriend called you could have her fav song played to her. When your friends called you could troll them with Nickelback.. The cellphone companies charged 99cents or whatever to buy the ringbacks.
I noticed it died around the same time smartphones took over. People stopped voice calling and just started texting instead.

I'd just finished covering a trial at the local sheriff court when there was an altercation between people involved in the trial. I photographed the incident.
Why not just PUBLISH the photos? It happened in the public court. Publishing would give the police, and everyone else access to what happened that day.
As a reporter why would you take the photo's and then try and hide them? Did you maybe have an interest in protecting one of the parties involved?
I have T-mobile and its 128K. They don't connect you at "2g" or anything they just throttle you after you hit your limit. Forget about streaming video but regular web surfing is OK. Pandora and other streaming audio sites seem to work fine.
$20month for 2gig data and unlimited talk/text. No contract. No worries about overage costs.
You know what would make the most people happy? Just make a new version of Windows7. Why would I want to re-learn how to do everything...again?
Going from Win95->Win98->Win2K->XP->Win7 was easy. People stuck with windows because they knew how to use it. Companies stuck with it because re-training was easy. It kept people from jumping ship to OSX/Linux/ChromeOS.
Going from Windows 7 to Linux Mint is easier then going from Windows 7 to 8.
Microsoft spent 20 years teaching people how to use their UI then just throws that all out for no reason at all.
Most people's insurance plans can also not cover an 8 figure payout. People shop on premium cost alone.. Most have not much more then state minimums. When I was young and had no assets I only carried 40K of liability insurance. Connecticut state min is 20K.
At 20K even totaling out a mid-range compact car will max out that coverage. That's why we have "uninsured/under insured" coverage now. So when some 20 y/o driver with 25K of insurance totals my 60K car and puts me in the hospital my insurance picks up the difference.
If the 6 year old you speak of gets hit by the same driver he is just SOL. Past 25K he will have to sue the driver directly and hope he has some assets.
I do agree that putting your own retirement/home at risk just to save a few bucks a month is foolish. You could end up losing a lifetime of work for a driving mistake or something you have no control over (like your parked car catches fire in garage,burns down condo complex or hurts someone).
My "dumb" thermostat has a mechanical limit of 50-90F. All the way down and the pipes wont freeze and all the way up and it will just burn tons of fuel.. not my house down.
What happens when this software internet facing thing crashes? Or gets hacked? If it locks up in the ON or OFF state that could be very costly.
Internet locks? OK so if the internet is down, I'm locked out?
Are these IoT hypers saying that its a GOOD idea to tie the basic operation of my house to comcast?
What good is 1G internet speeds if there is a data cap of 300G?
Fiber is great but if its controlled by the same ISPs that happen to also be media companies then its something I don't want any part of. I have the option of super fast but capped DOCSIS3 here but I will stick with my cheap uncapped DSL. I don't want to have to think about how much a stream will cost or if this next.ISO download will cost me $10.

The best books are those that tell you what you already know.
Not much to love with that, since it reduced the security of everybody else.
Why should Theo wait around for everyone else and leave his users vulnerable? An embargo for a few business days after notifying sure. But for MONTHS?
Does anyone really think this flaw didn't leak out to the bad guys from one of the vendors the second they where notified?

Edison did nothing wrong.
To bad DeLorean isn't still alive. He could have helped Tesla with some creative funding ideas...

Everyone's fault but her own.
Who needs the rust belt or Bernie supporters. Who needs to campaign every day. It was her turn and that should have been enough!
The DNC is a Clintion suicide cult. They will run her again in 2020.

I've seen this scenario play out a few times.

What happened to slashdot? Is it just an automated news aggregator now?
Just fail step one of their flowchart.
Unhook the thing so they cant ping it.
"Hey Tech support? When I plug in my router no lights come on. I know the outlet works because I plug a lamp in there and it works"
Can't really trouble shoot past that. Send a new one.
After they put the order in hook your router and airport back up and wait for the replacement.

If they don't name the vender then what will change?
How can users be warned?
How do we know its even true?
They might as well be bashing some made up system by some fake company that doesn't exist.

IIRC it was an exploit in one of the tags.
Can your retirement account cover that?
