It's about a belief whether there might any physical principle for wirelessly transmitting electricity that Tesla knew about back then and we don't nowadays.
Why are two totally unrelated cases mixed up in this one post?
1. A 13 year old asks Siri a joke question and posts photos of the result. 2. A 14 year old posts photos of himself posing with a weapon.
Apart from both being young boys there is no correlation.
The first case is definitely not worth even investigating.
In the the second I question why a boy at that age has unsupervised access to a weapon and if he was supervised, why photos were taken and published. The parents should be investigated.
The AFD is a rather recent phenomenon. It's possible that their data isn't included beause the actual leak is so old that there simply wasn't anything available about them from that source.
(Yes, I know I already posted that, but it was in replay to a different comment.)

btw: There is no such state as "West Germany" any more. Hasn't been for nearly 3 decades. There is only one Germany and sometimes I wonder which part it was that survived the reunion.
I'm not sure that making trains work like in Germany should be a goal. Deutsche Bahn has its own serious delay problems, because the track maintenance has been sub par for decades and many of the older trains are a pita. (Never rely on any of the toilets being in working condition!) Also, train stations that are not in large cities tend to be in a state of decay. Not to mention that they used to be very cheap when hiring staff.
The reason for this was that our government converted the railway into several separate companies, which are currently still owned by the government, but wanted to sell them so they tried to reduce the cost at all cost. After several decades of this, they realized that it won't work (Thanks to the bad example of British Rail.). And today this very slowly changes for the better again.
Especially security conferences attract people who might be viewed as suspicious by some US 3 letter organizations, so they try to avoid that country.
On a more personal note: I have not been to the US since 9/11 and if the "security" paranoia stays the way it currently is, I will probably not visit the US again. It's a shame really, because I have family over there and overall I liked the country. But I am not going to let me be treated like a criminal.
I remember a report (no idea where and when) about young people in Turkey who got serious health problems because they where sandblasting jeans and the sand got into their lungs.
I have been trying to do that (and before with OpenOffice), but it's just not on par. My latest gripe is the "speed" of LibreOffice Calc as compared to any version of MS Excel. It's just atrociously slow on large files, where "large" actually isn't that large at all. I'm not going to spend my time waiting for the bloody program just to scroll.
Granted: The average home user might not notice that. At home, I have never used any version of MS Office.
Yes. The company I work for does pavement condition assessment. We are required by the customers to deliver photographs of every metre of road we examine (actually pictures of 3m by 10m for every 10 metres). In addition to that they want a HD picture of the surrounding area. Some even want up to 4 HD pictures. Now, consider how much disk space this requires. Performance of generating these pictures is also an issue.
.. at least the version that runs in the context of the web site.
Or isn't it?
I mean: SGP relies on you typing your master password into an entry field which it then uses together with the domain name to generate the actual password. If the sites can spy on all your key strokes, they will know your master password, which is not good.
It's still simply the most efficient way to stay on top of various news streams. Neither twitter nor facebook (or Google+) can compete with that. I'm using netvibes to collect them.
Manna's job was to manage the store, and it did this in a most interesting way. Think about a normal fast food restaurant. A group of employees worked at the store, typically 50 people in a normal restaurant, and they rotated in and out on a weekly schedule. The people did everything from making the burgers to taking the orders to cleaning the tables and taking out the trash. All of these employees reported to the store manager and a couple of assistant managers. The managers hired the employees, scheduled them and told them what to do each day. This was a completely normal arrangement. In the early twenty-first century, there were millions of businesses that operated in this way.
But the fast food industry had a problem, and Burger-G was no different. The problem was the quality of the fast food experience. Some restaurants were run perfectly. They had courteous and thoughtful crew members, clean restrooms, great customer service and high accuracy on the orders. Other restaurants were chaotic and uncomfortable to customers. Since one bad experience could turn a customer off to an entire chain of restaurants, these poorly-managed stores were the Achilles heel of any chain.
To solve the problem, Burger-G contracted with a software consultant and commissioned a piece of software. The goal of the software was to replace the managers and tell the employees what to do in a more controllable way. Manna version 1.0 was born....
The first part is a rather depression dystopia. The second part is pure utopia.
There is exactly one reason to run Anti Virus software: To be able to say you did, if something bad happens. E.g. your bank account gets hacked. Your bank will ask whether you were running AV software. Even it the software is crap, you have to run it otherwise they will try to put the blame on you. Same with your work computer: Somebody in the intranet (not necessarily you) catches a virus. The admin will check whether everybody runs AV. If you don't, you will be blamed. Even if the admin knows that AV is mostly snake oil, he will still try to put the blame on you so it isn't on him. Or if you are the admin yourself, you also probably want everybody run AV because otherwise the PHB will blame you.

It might be possible, but I believe it unlikely.

Minimalist (Smart) Phone? For $250 ? You must be kidding. You get better offers for $100 less. Yes, that won't be an Apple phone, but who cares?

try f**k.cx
> Google suggests creating FDLs from now on, or using other shortening services like Bitly and Ow.ly.
Even better: Don't use an url shortener service at all. What's the point?
Shouldn't that be "radioactivity monitors"?

Simple programs like that can easily be written as a batch file. And those run any real computer (but not on tables and smartphones).

I haven't been to the US since they stepped up "security" either. I have got family over there, which I visited twice before that, but never since.

And you would trust that switch?
I wouldn't.
Sorry, but this is just terrible reporting. Not much information to go on, no link to external sources, just some technobabble.
If there is no more change in entropy, there won't be any time. Is that then infinite?
