A digital data cable? Not really, but of course signal cables in general have had it for decades, cf 3.5mm TRS (headphone) jacks and have been used in some devices to carry digital signals.
And then there's power cables - look at figure-8 power cables, and of course all the round ones.
Kudos to the controller on the other end of the radio too, who I'm sure would have been sweating, talking to someone whose life depended on him keeping his cool and telling him exactly what he needed to do.
What a horrible idea, but at least it's better than Visa, who seem to think you don't need any authentication at all now, with their retarded "PayWave" system they're pushing onto all their customers.
Now that there's a nice centrally-administered map database for all these, what's to stop antagonistic operatives (govt, RIAA, etc) systematically applying portable high voltage flash-zappers to these, rendering them all useless?
Lucas had a lot more help with the first script that just Marcia. I suggest reading the excellent "The Secret History of Star Wars" by Michael Kaminski.

It is possible if you happen to fall into a vat of boiling water.
Why none of course. What has that to do with anything?
What I do know, however is that I don't have to pfaff around with orientation when plugging in headphones, power, composite video, and with USB I do.
At least with RJ11/RJ45 phone and Ethernet plugs the orientation is made very obvious.

Micro-USB, while ubiquitous, is rather fragile and has orientation.
This.
What complete muppet designed USB, a frequent plug-unplug connector by nature, to have orientation?
Yeah, this is great news. We could even capture the by-product and help alleviate the helium shortage!

A smart watch that connects to your smart phone? What a great idea.
How strange that no one ever thought of it before.
What courts? Didn't they shut down too?

She was armed. The article says that she was driving a car.
Well that's probably because, as a name, "Tesla" sounds much cooler than "Pixii".
It's also fashionable to favour American folks over French, even if Tesla was originally Serbian.
Best /. comment I have seen this year. Well done!
Does anyone know how these work? Does it use a Peltier thermoelectric generator? I assume the water acts as a heatsink for the "cooling" side.
Or the other way around:

Or as any other user.
rm -Rf / will be equally devastating to an unprivileged user's data. It just won't leave you with a non-functional computer.

Of course Azure is secure - nobody uses it.
Saying "wasteful bitcoin mining" is a little redundant, like "round circles" or "avian birds".

Just so I understand this correctly.
Dedicated hardware is now being produced to allow bottom-dwelling scum to steal more of our money?
Even better - he could write his own and install it.
That solar data just goes to further illustrate that if the Gulf Stream were to ever shift or cease, Europe would be utterly screwed.
Absolutely correct.
Are we also not supposed to talk about the economic outfall as a result of the 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami that killed many more?
If not for this new island, that recent earthquake would not have made it to the Slashdot: News for Nerds blog at all.
Now, now.
You know options just aren't the GNOME way....
