blah blah blah. It is much simpler than that. From the article...
the most intense solar maximum in fifty years
It didn't say the most intense solar maximum ever. It just said in the last 50 years. So what did the Mayan calendar have to say about that event? Well we are still here, so it couldn't have been much.
I repeat DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME DOES NOT GIVE US MORE DAYLIGHT.
That's odd. I can now go down to the airport and get some flying in after work, whereas before I could not. I guess that is just my eyes playing tricks on me.
Seems to me like the system itself is not flawed, but the way the users choose to operate on it. This could be due to a lack of clear explanation by the BOA website.
You give users too much credit. The fact of the matter is that people are idiots. It's one thing for people not to recognize <a href="http://200.200.200.200/accountbalance">http: //www.bankofamerica.com/accountbalance</a> in their email. But for someone to go through the trouble of picking out a picture and then summarily dismiss it says moron to me.
For example when you tell them that they blacklisted your IP address and you can vouche that you don't spam, but they won't do anything because you belong to a/16 where somewhere sombody is spamming. blacklisting might be a good idea, but organizations like spamhaus make it bad in practice.
WiFi comes along and gives us blazingly fast Internet connections
My internet connection over wired ethernet - 512Kbps
My internet connection over WiFi - 512Kbps
Wtf are they talking about?
I think they meant to say ethernet instead of Internet, however, they are still wrong seeing as how 54Mbps is much less than 1000Mbps which seems to be the standard option these days.
Unless of course you're live in a place that uses the MM/DD/YY scheme for recording dates. Then you already encountered these dates in February, March, and April.
You mean like in America? Nobody from there reads Slashdot.
This sounds similar to the file versioning on VMS which I have never heard anyone complain about (other than being wicked annoying). If anything, I would think that people (and by people I mean the techno commoners) would like this feature. I think most people still believe that when you delete a file that it is really gone. Maybe this feature will show people that without wiping the free space on your hard drive things that you thought were gone are still around. I can't see how anyone could think of this as a privacy concern except maybe law enfourcement who end up finding that people are better at permanently deleting files.
You might be surprised that this isn't illegal and/or controversial. If you're going to complain about the man, find something valid to complain about.
From your link...
In some jurisdictions this would be considered illegal as incest.
Some think it's acceptable. Some think it's not. Sounds controversial to me.
...the proposed.tel TLD would allow individuals and companies to keep all of their contact information in an easily accessible location.
In an age of too much communication how about a top level domain called.dnc (do not call) that has all of my contact information. Oh wait, why don't I just not make it available to everyone in the first place. Today with the "Do not call list" being so popular and being able to keep your contact information private when registering a new domain this new.tel tld seems to be going in the wrong direction.
I have had nothing but bad experiences with X-10. I was about to jump on the UPB (Universal Powerline Bus) bandwagon when I got my recent smart home catalog promoting Insteon. So I'm curious how Insteon compares to UPB.
I don't let a little thing such as a (tm) get in the way of a good argument. I lump the two together because for all the reasons that matter they are the same. Speaking as a Unix admin, of course.
But I wonder how they determined what list to put a purchase in when a company buys somthing like an HP Proliant server. I've worked places where there are racks and racks of DL360s running Unix and other places where they are Windows. Seems like a somewhat dubious report.

I suppose we will be at the mercy of the Film Actors Guild now.

Some quick googling says it does!!! Woo Hoo!!!! I know what I'm getting for my birthday.
