My God man, what are you thinking? Posting on/. something like that!
It's obvious you need a set of wrenches and screwdrivers, and to quietly put the units up for sale on Craigslist (in another city, several hundred miles away) nine months after they have gone missing.
Or you can take the meth route, and find out how much copper is in one of those things...
This. It will be Hell, any way you slice it. Why? Because at the end of the day, the people taking care of your mind...possibly your 'soul'...are going to outsource it / cut corners. Rows and rows of databanks / uploaded human minds, and the corporation running it is still trying to make their stock price 'sizzle' for Wall St.; at first you may have well-paid / caring beings who want to help out / fix things, but over time...they will be replaced with those who follow a script.
Allow me to give you a scenario: "Mrs. Watson is acting up about her left knee again on S-23453?" "Yup" "Ok, pull her image from last...Thursday, and modify these segments here...and she will no longer care about her left knee."
It's not actually fixing anything, but then, when you're just a brain in a box, who cares what you think? You got no power, no standing, no restitution, nothing, save what whoever out there gives you once your brain is removed.
We really need a filter for these kind of stories on/. I mean, the problem and solution is always the same: Company A has no network security because 1.) they went cheap, and the solution is stop doing that.
Whining to the government after your open-barn-door network gets cracked (if barely, would not be surprised to find an anonymous FTP running on the company's production servers) is merely an attempt to keep your own 'cost-center' low by shoving the problem off onto someone else.
Meh, Photoshop is close to running on Linux. I have CS5 (32-bit) running in Crossover Linux...it seems to just crash on Windows created PSD files for some reason (but any other file format it is fine with...or Linux-created PSD files (I haven't tested how complex)).
Because they've looked into their crystal ball, and have seen that the terrorists of the future are going to blog about their next big target ("200,000 likes and we'll bomb the Statue of Liberty!").
You know what, I'm fine with this. I just need some island to retire to, and the rest of the world can go full retard.
Seriously. I have this AlphaServer ES45 that I have been trying to bring into this century...and it has been expensive just getting it to boot to the SRM. Nothing at University has really taught me to take on this monster (I mean...maybe...), but I am going to get it to boot properly and consistently to a SSD, then I'm going to tear apart the SRM. Can't boot from anything except the approved devices whose drivers exist in the SRM...on-board IDE was a fun idea, but it turns out this particular chipset corrupts writes, so back to the drawing board; would go with another IDE controller, but again, the driver needs to be in the SRM to be bootable; which leads to SCSI, and SD2SCSI (abominable read/writes), or spinning rust (Cheetahs, as I have recently thrown in the towel here, and a Blu-Ray SATA drive with Acard SATA to SCSI adapter).
Really useful machines (4 x 1.25GHz EV Alpha Procs), but until these shackles are removed...oi.
People want you to bring back GTalk. And quit bundling your stuff so closely with Chrome. And then fire your Market research group...they appear to be drawn from the same people who thought Windows Vista was a winner.
Don't...don't even go down this path. Make your stand at "this is my computer, MY computer, and what it does with the information is receives is entirely up to me," as well as pointing out "Quite simply – if people don't pay in some way for content, then that content will eventually no longer exist" -> this man has no idea that the Internet existed before paid content, was more diverse during that time, and arguably a better place.
Perhaps they've reviewed the legal ramifications of losing common carrier status, and have decided, from a fiscal standpoint, that it's their morally corporate duty to maintain such status for as long as reasonably possible.
Yeah, we've, uh, topped out with nuclear fission, technologically speaking, at the moment. Not that it isn't a bang for your buck, fantastic technology...and those scientists will get fusion up and running at some point.
Now it feels like we're just running a science fair to think of any creative way to tap into energy..."Power via fluorescent slime molds!", etc. I don't know where I was going with this...someone find me a potato or a lemon and a voltmeter.

Yeah, right, and everyone is communist until they run out of toilet paper.

Because the length of rope is insufficient for a good hanging.
Orgy-Porgy.

Why not explain to them that they have pulled the technological equivalent of redefining PI as "3"?
Ah, the SG-1 approach. The 'dud' rocket that will take years to get working. Very nice.
And people wonder why I run the HotJava program as my main browser...;-)

Not all change is good. That's why we have Ctrl+Z.

Because people will notice you trying to bring a giant dufflebag into a church.
Remind me, in the future, when some politician preaches about forgiveness, that the forgetfulness part is on hold indefinitely.
Stop, do not pass go, you lose 20% of your stock holdings.

"Come, let us do evil that good may result."
Indeed. But more importantly, if the AI wants to do my work for me, I'm going let it; I'll simply go on vacation.

He's right. Let's hold out for the E7-v3.
