Maybe Amazon needs to rethink their update process? Or at least make the devices more diligent about warning the users that their internal certs are about to expire and that they need to turn on WiFi mode for a day or two?
I thought there was some internal cert that's about to expire and lock the device out of the Amazon store and update service? If that happens, it becomes pretty useless, at least once you finish all of the books that are already loaded.
Honestly, the CEO sounds like a petulant child crying that the other kids are taking their turn. I think this is just a scare tactic, he doesn't have any real plans to automate anything. Fast food automation was tried before and found to be too expensive, way more than an additional $20 an hour total he would be paying his normal wage slaves.
In short, this is just the CEO trying to scare people into voting for Trump.
Because in the long term pretending that you aren't part of the world is counterproductive. For the most extreme example see North Korea. Beyond that however there are several problems that require the cooperation of the entire world to address, and that's not possible if everybody is only looking out for #1. Resource depletion, pollution, and even global political stability are all things that can't be handled at the national level.
Sanders is pretty much out at this point. Unless Hillary has a heart attack and keels over at a $900,000 speech to Goldman Sachs she is going to be the Democratic nominee. Trump is Trump, and is looking increasingly likely to be the Republican candidate, even though his chances in the general are pretty poor. A Clinton/Trump vote is good for Republicans though, since although Clinton is likely to win the Presidency, the enthusiastic support for Trump is likely to elect quite a few Republican congressmen and governors and further cement the Republican hold on the legislative branch.
You are probably taking apart drives that were purchased by cheapskates. What usually happens is you see a manufacturer announce a new drive line with 2TB, 4TB, and 6TB capacities and what they do is sell you a drive with either 1, 2, or 3 platters. If your purchasing guy is looking to cut costs he will only buy the lowest end drive in the line.
The "not practical" came at the end when he calculated how much power it takes to lift a squirrel. If you have that much power to waste there are much better alternatives.
XKCD covered this and came to the conclusion that laser propulsion just isn't practical, even by the lofty standards of theoretical intrastellar space travel.
For what it is worth, very few consumer routers use glibc because it's too fat. Your point still stands that once a product is out of it's usually narrow service window then it will become impossible to fix. Worse, the vendor supplied firmware is often of poor quality (limited feature set, insufficient NAT table, buggy, and sometimes even with remote security exploits) and the best way around that was to install OpenWRT or similar.
The ones I've replaced are just glued in with rubber cement (comes out with a firm but gentle pull) and only the power connector is clipped in. The power connector comes out with a gentle pull as well.
Parking brakes are usually all or nothing. If you use them every time you park then they will generally operate normally. If you never use them and then accidentally set them one day you can very easily discover that the lines are frozen on you when you try to disengage the brake later.
I have never rented a car that came with the manual. Usually there is just a sticker in the glove compartment with the rental company emergency number.
They counted for a fairly small fraction of a delegate in the end. The odds off getting 6 coin flips your way is 1 in 64. Not an everyday occurrence, but hardly impossible. This is a cute story but it doesn't mean anything.
Slashdot supported Unicode for some time in the old days. Then someone figured out that they could leave a dangling RTL marker in a comment and reverse the rest of the comment section. Rather than trying to sanitize the Unicode the Slashdot team took the nuclear option and just stripped everything down to 7 bit ASCII. Now there is nobody left who feels qualified to touch the code anymore and the problem has festered for over a decade.

Nah, BoA would just let them drain your account and then blame you for trusting their security.

Could you point me to one of those articles? I am having trouble finding them.
Anybody who tried to argue that it wasn't Snowden was being willfully obtuse. Even CNN pretty much said it was Snowden.
I guess it is nice that the government accidentally confirmed the obvious, but it's not much of a news story.

I'm sure MDSolar would get your story posted to Slashdot.

Low turnout elections are fantastic for Republicans. They'll get so many seats.

Low UIDs aren't that uncommon. There are 899 three digit UIDs. That would be a pantheon dwarfing even the Greek gods of old.

Still have the 40MB SCSI-1 drive in the Mac LC. Amazingly it still works. Everything before that was floppies, many of those no longer work.
You can get that by switching from OCZ to virtually any other brand.
It's getting pretty hard to find a vehicle with rear drums anymore.

I will retract my statement if Bernie loses by two delegates in the end.
