Are a bunch of printers on the Internet with public IPs (a thought that previously has never crossed my mind, as it's not even a criminal offense...we'd need to invent a new category for it)?
Why yes, let's ban them, that'll show them. I'm sure they are disbanding as we speak.
Or Reddit just drove them underground, removing the possibility that their ideas could be challenged in an open forum. That's real smart, *golf clap*; why don't you try running for President next? I'm sure the US government needs your assistance in its follies.
Meanwhile the NSA has ordered up another ~50 million or so GPU cores for their latest encryption / decryption servers...I'm not saying that they could run the BitCoin exchange if they wanted to, but they totally could.
Yes, yes, MS playing musical chairs with browsers is a perennial favorite of those who live in the Windows world. But there is something waaaaaaaaay more important that needs to be fixed before fixing that: Indexing with Network Drives.
*Sigh*. If you read the article from the link provided, you would find that we have fosfomycin in the US, it's just not on the short list of approved antibiotics; it is, however, approved for some form of cysts...and its usage here would simply be an off-label usage. In other countries, it seems, it is on their short list of approved antibiotics.
In other words, we are going through the "Mainframe -> PC -> Mainframe -> PC" cycle. Let's do work locally! No! The next big thing is doing it communally somewhere else! Wait, people want more control over their data, and processors are a lot more capable now! Yeah! Ad infinitum.
In other words, it's a clickbait article (but then, any article decrying the end of the world tends to be).
Having RTFA (and some others, apparently), the bacteria in question is resistant the 26 antibiotics on the US shortlist of approved antibiotics (read that again, and think about what that means). Posthumously, they found that this strain is probably susceptible to fosfomycin (http://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/nevada-woman-died-near-ultimate-superbug-n706641).
What more, there are more than 26 antibiotics in existence...and all of you who believe this super-bug stuff need your heads examined.
"And your gender is determined not in some magical early moment but quite late in foetal development, and not cast in stone as you're also surrounded by female hormones until birth."
Uh, you are aware that ovaries do produce Testosterone, albeit not as much as testes? What more, Androgens...I've lost your attention.
Seriously. Anyone who has attained 'Contributor' (made a half-dozen comments that were on topic in the last month? IDK) status gets a nice checkbox to turn them off; but then, if you only ever post AC, you wouldn't know that, would you?
Actually, I've been waiting years for a laptop with a 21" or 23" lcd screen.
I'll take that, and a full size keyboard. And maybe a detachable laser mouse. Or a mouse pad (aluminum) that swings out from the laptop for a laser mouse. I hate touchpads...they seem to have been created by someone who never suffers from the need for clarity during a file / folder selection operation, especially on a "live-ish" machine.
Because in movies like 'Avatar', the 3D is done well. In some other movies, it's a cheap parlor trick ("Let's have something jump out at them, that's worth the 3D tax for this movie"). And in other movies, it's obvious the director doesn't care / doesn't know how to make use of the 3D element: I guess they just film in 3D, keep the existing Z-axis values, and hit upload ("What is the foreground, what is the background, should my actors / characters have very flat Z-values or should I try to 'HDR' that, highlighting what's really impressive").
So what you're saying is, maybe I shouldn't be drinking the mercury that comes out of those old school thermometers, and playing with those discarded fire-alarms inside that off-limits shack with the peeling lead paint?
How about fixing your website(s), which use FTP, and possibly Telnet, before focusing on your printers? There are an awful lot of people who would love to be able to replace broken parts without spending 3 days trying to guess the right part number, as well as some of us working on more interesting equipment (like the Alphas) who just love it if you would fix some of those broken links to much needed firmware upgrades.
As for your printers, charge a lot for the printer, give it the ability to run some version of linux (which it probably does already) with lots of RAM and a HD/SSD, and low cost color laser printing. Oh, and network (wired) printing. And people will love you. High DPI printing, scanning (High DPI scanning), faxing (+ over the internet), etc. are just gravy.
Eh, sort of. There's kind of this area (https://wiki.freedesktop.org/xorg/RadeonFeature/) between the oldest ATI and the newest AMD where Hybrid Graphics support still doesn't exist....and for those of us with a muxless discrete GPU (I don't know, every modern laptop with a discrete GPU?), this has been sucking royally for the past 9+ months. See, the discrete GPU needs more than its driver to be loaded: it needs modesetting compiled into it as well (to tell the muxless GPU about the various inputs / outputs that the integrated GPU has, so it can steal them...).
I have a [AMD/ATI] Venus PRO Radeon HD 8850M / R9 M265X that I haven't been able to use under Mint 18. I've heard that more and more support will be added into the AMDGPUPRO driver from AMD for older cards with each release, but nothing for this one as of yet. And no discrete GPU means no games or GPU intense applications.
AMD, it's a laptop. It needs that hybrid-power app. Just give us a working version already, we're miserable as it is.
Me thinks Stephen is feeling the tap of the Reaper at his door, and is projecting his feelings of anxiety outwards (happens to the best of us). The only difference between him, and your grandparents, is that he has access to a public circuit.

Finally, a chance to use my alchemy toolkit.
How would you know?

So, any particular reason for their psychopathy?

Can we bring back HD-DVDs and the DIVX videodisc format while we are at it?
Thank you. To which I add "Kill it, kill it! Burn it with fire! Stop it before it breaches quarantine!"

No capes.
No 3D jump-out scare scenes.

As he said, it impinges upon creativity...fiscal creativity, that is, not the technological kind...

How did we go from Skype Version 4.3.0.37, which runs just fine on Linux, to Skype for Linux Alpha 1.13.0.3?
I'm looking at 4.3..... right now, and it has the option of sending SMS messages (probably for a pretty penny) to mobiles. And it does video.
