It is not Slashdot, but an Oklahoma jury that determined that the automaker acted with “reckless disregard” regarding their firmware. We also have an admission of guilt from Toyota regarding that issue.
And by European cars, I presume that you are referring to the BMW fiasco.
Would you suggest that we blame all equally regardless of guilt?
The AC is not as much disagreeing, but suggesting that the user rather than Microsoft is be blamed in these seemingly accidental upgrades, because he is "fucking stupid" and is making shit up.
I might be at odds with Frank Hebert's fiction, but my view on control does not include destroying the device. You controls only the act of destruction (which is always much easier). Once you destroy it, it is no longer in your control, and it obviously was not in your control before you did.
I know that a lot of devices have USB ports, but not all of them do (including my Samsung tablet). I do not believe that they are to be found on iPads either.
I do believe in talking to people in person, not carry chains, and do not carry nor own a cell phone.
I've always had tape on devices I own with embedded cameras (which are few), so this is not much of a 'thought' for me. Controlling the embedded microphone is far more difficult, especially on a tablet running a proprietary OS. For Android, there's always cyanogenmod,
Not only the cost for building the first stage would have to be less than $200,000, it would have to be less than the price of the remaining fuel to make 'fuel efficiency' a consideration.
You seem to be saying that data can be misinterpreted or collected with faulty methods/sensors and that illustrating the said data with graphs can be used to support erroneous conclusions.
I will second that.
On the other hand models are not always correct, but they have been proven an invaluable scientific tool for discovery. Perhaps the previous post was meant as sarcasm.
Computer models are models. In which way have they 'failed the test of time'?
Would you rather not tell what it is that motivates you to spread ignorance, or do you not know yourself?
You make it sound like the absurdly short life of incandescent light bulbs neatly correlates to its efficiency. Another factor is how inert the gas inside the bulb is. A small amount of oxygen in the mix will make sure that you have to pay out sooner than later.
Driving to a store, the time to replace them, the delay in whatever you were doing when interrupted by the bulb failing is super expensive compared to the unit price.
Further 'efficiency' matters more if you are in a warm climate. When its cold enough, the entropy from my desk lamp simply causes the electric heater to take a little longer before turning on.
I haven't read the article yet, but Peru, Chili and other part of the High Andes are known for cultivating varieties of potatoes that number in the thousands. They are more resistant to cold and low pressure than the variety you and others are familiar with and alluding to.
Sure, this scientific data and the pretty pictures generate page views for NASA and sell coffee table books, but sorry, they aren't relevant to us.
Yes the pictures are pretty, but they do not diminish the value of the scientific data acquired. It may not be relevant to you but you do not get to speak for 'us'.
Obviously, I'm not someone with a stake in the next hobby project being sent to Mars.
Its a bit more than a hobby, but I'm not going to try to convince you otherwise. You seem to have your mind made up.
Running science experiments on Mars isn't very useful, if no one will ever live there. While having a repairman on the Moon to handle a few tens of billions of dollars in infrastructure is at least useful.
Not true. Running science experiments on Mars provides us with scientific data which is relevant to people on Earth, regardless of anyone living on Mars.
Obviously you are not a scientist. Perhaps a repairman hoping to work on the Moon?

No I'm not; You are making shit up.
I was telling you about the previous post only. That has nothing to do with what other people have said in the past.
The AC is not as much disagreeing, but suggesting that the user rather than Microsoft is be blamed in these seemingly accidental upgrades, because he is "fucking stupid" and is making shit up.
What "good name" would you suggest?
He said 'then' humans.. so they should both be wasted, humans last for some reason.
;)
Thanks for clarifying.
The word would then be 'absorb' as plants don't typically have lungs.
Those were actually not my words, hence the quotes, but the "BULL" is all yours; no one could possibly pretend to understand what you inferred.
You need to learn the definition of the word 'posturing'.
"Farmers don't re-use seeds"
Some used to, but it is indeed inconvenient to get sued by large corporations.
".. what your food or your food's food inhaled."
Perhaps you meant 'ingested'?
That's what they want you to think.
All the way up too.
Here is my summary:
1 - "Right now, it's hard to tell what causes the QR code to appear during a crash"
2 - "What's not clear is how the feature will end up getting implemented for general consumers."
3 - "Microsoft hasn't yet responded to a request for comment."
It hurts.

Tics might have served as a better example.

Why not correct the whole thing and delete the post completely?
Is it that you believe that people over a certain age are less relevant or that trying new apps makes you better?
What? Slashdot moving to FreeBSD is not real? http://news.slashdot.org/story...
We're all from Africa.
