Yes, but how many of those 96.5% employed CS grads are in jobs that use their skills? How many of them are stacking shelves at the local store because they can't get work in their field?
Baseline Bullshit - you simply build your generating capacity across the grid. Coal and nuclear power is already moved hundreds of miles over power lines, so space your solar and wind generation across the same distance - the chances of a region being windless and sunless over hundreds of miles at a time is zero.
No it isn't. I wish it was, but for practical purposes of generating electricity, it's nowhere near zero.
Excess energy can be stored in hydrostatic batteries - pump water into a reservoir, then release the water to move a turbine to generate power when needed.
This is *exactly* what needs to happen, and fast. Unfortunately hydro power (what this is) is embroiled with NIMBYism so difficult to build new plants.
Before dismissing that idea, remember that all your phancy pants nuclear power plants do is heat water - to move a turbine to generate electricity.
No, it's right there, right beside Firefox. Unused, except for testing the odd page.
Most people use the default. Google are using the dominant position in operating systems to push their browser. Sound familiar?
Perhaps, perhaps not. But that changes nothing for us tech-savvy people who don't have a problem with tapping an icon on the home screen to launch a web browser.
I use several Android devices daily, and never use a browser other than Firefox, except occasionally for testing purposes.
People use the Google Search Bar? I always just remove it (or, in the case where it can't be removed, ignore it) and keep a Firefox icon persistent across all screens.
However occasionally a battery tech comes along that really does change the world. Remember that NiMH and Li-Ion were met with scepticism when they first came out too.
This probably won't come to anything - but it might, and that's enough to warrant further investigation.
You can set the RGB colour and brightness in Night Filter by tapping the name in the pull-down menu. I agree about the default colour being too yellow, so I fixed it myself.
I won't cite any studies about sleep, but when I briefly turn off Redshift at night, my eyes hurt. Turn it back on, they stop hurting and I can read the screen much more easily..

According to Dave Barry in the 80s, Mars should be called Planet Trump by now.
I think you mean Lister, Rimmer, Cat, Kryten, Holly, Kochanski, Ace.
I can.
Every single country in the Middle East.
Except one.
I can't see how this is anything other than a good thing.
There is a reasonable expectation of privacy on ones own property, and this was recording sound, not just video footage.

No need to be rude.
No it really isn't. Unless you think people don't need electricity on still days, or at night.
Yikes, really? That's bad on several levels.
I realize I should have said fossil fuels rather than coal in the GP.
You're not getting this.
Wind is not a base load and can't ever be so long as you don't have a guaranteed 24/7/365 air flow or massive battery reservoir.
Solar isn't for obvious reasons (night time and clouds exist).
Both wind and solar presently serve to supplement base loads, not replace them. That means they provide power when they can, not when demand dictates.
At the moment the only viable base loads are hydro, coal or nuclear.
And then tells Microsoft when you've done it.
Oh really? Care to elaborate?
Not sure if you're aware of this, but BSG has been LDS (ie Mormon) propaganda straight from day one.
I'll just wait here for someone to call the Cameroon government right-wing, or start making comparisons to the Trump administration.
That was the capture stage.
There was no interference pattern from coherent light.
Watch the last two seconds of that video. It was a flat, front projection onto glass. Nothing more.
That means most likely you've uninstalled Chrome.

But clearly Anonymous want Donald Trump in power.
After all, last year they bragged about how they could ruin his campaign any time, and then did nothing.
So either they're full of crap, or they didn't really want to do it in the first place. Which is it, guys?
Marginalised?

It's never been a problem.

So... why aren't they "Americans" by now?
That's simply not true.
"News for nerds, stuff that matters" is still there in the title bar on the front page. It just doesn't make part of the logo any more.
Damn good point there. I'd mod you up if I could.
You're very likely right.

The Night Filter app from Google Play works well for that. The Widget toggles every time you hit it.
If you want a FOSS solution, Red Moon from the F-Droid repository works fairly well too.

Conclusion: It does some good.
YMMV
