Most stupid idea I ever seen. I can't believe decent programmers are going this path. Just another way after the 'coding for pizza' idea to devaluate developers' skills and hold them in contempt.
The single biggest problem with the current internet, beside the technical things is this protocol has been designed for peer to peer networking and the Internet has been build as a server centric IBM mainframe SNA network.The fear to really democratize the internet and empower the users has result into this lame architecture where almost everything in this world converge into two dozen datacenters. The data has been made the property of a bunch of happy fews and made them immensely riches. The Internet has not played its role as it should have.
One important reason you should use something like Kerberos, is the usability. The users will not have a different password on each machine with its own rules and expiration date, etc. This quickly lead to users to write down their passwords on a post-it or use the bad practices to manage the security of their own passwords because they have to periodically change their passwords on many machines. Also, you will have a single or a limited number of password repositories to secure instead of having one on each machine.
You are also better to enforce longer passwords than byzantine rules for passwords to get enough entropy. I have even seen password rules which instead of leading to stronger security were leading to weaker security. It is not because a password is difficult to remember by a human it is difficult to crack by an automated program. There is no link between difficult to remember and good password.
Well, the point is not there isn't anything else to discover, the point is at which energy levels we can expect to find something. His assumption is based on the current theories and at which energy levels we can hope to find something. There is no reason we should observe particles at all energies and an energy desert is very likely and plausible. So, should we invest ressources, money and energy into the business of searching new particles at all energy levels without at least some indication they exists? Given the amount of money needed here, I don't think so. We should go ahead if we have a strong enough indication it may pay off.
In the mean time, we still have astronomical observations we can rely on and cosmic particles we can try to use given some are accelerated at energy levels much higher than what the LHC or any upcoming accelerator can reach. The problem being the luminosity, but in the case of cosmic particles, we have plenty of time to accumulate results on very long period of time to compensate for the infeasibility to build a large enough accelerator to reach these levels.
There is jail and police for these kids. The real problem is not with kids, it is with car hijackers, thefts and other criminals. Kids can be handled easily with the appropriate level of repression.
you are off by an astronomical unit if you believe it was the GUI that made the success of Windows 95. Its success is mainly due to the inclusion of the TCP/IP stack which standardized how PC owners can connect to the internet in an easy manner since then. Done with Trumpet IP and the likes trying to make things working. What drove people at this time was already the desire to access the internet, the real new thing. Most Joe users had to ask a relative if they were lucky enough to have one in the computer science field to setup their PC with Windows 3.1. Windows 95 made this easy.
Don't we have enough with this drama queen? Let him be forgotten by all of us. He is just trying to keep is popularity indicator to the highest mark he can. That is the only thing he can deal to get some money.
I don't see how this is a worst threat than the current situation provided there plenty suicide bombers available. The driver is only part of the problem to setup a terrorist action against a target. In addition, the AV is much more trackable than any other vehicle and then can be easily and quickly linked to the author. Which defeat partly the purpose of using an AV in first place to not be linked to the terrorist action.
Do you really believe the insurance companies will let these vehicles running without being tracked in order to establish the responsability in case of an accident?
Of course, someone can hijack the AV to make it vanish on the radar, etc. However, this will make each terrorist mission more complicated.
I guess someone in Hollywood wants to build another lame scenario around the usage of AV as remote controlled bombs or whatever.
And it is not that accurate as Christie believes it is. There is a limited number of locations the package can be: cargo airplane, truck, border/customs, distribution centers. FedEx doesn't update a map with the GPS coordinates of your package.
I suppose there is an hidden configuration option you can set to translate the codename into a version number, provided you know how to do it from the command line to show the hidden option into the GNOME configuration menu.
Uber is making its money from not paying what any legitimate taxi driver must pay or any taxi corporation must pay to meet the regulations and obligations. In short, Uber is making its money by cheating on the free market. Should they have to incure the same costs as the regular taxi industry as a whole you would be legitimated to talk about free market. But they just don't. Making money by cheating is easy until you get caught. Now, they are lobbying to evade the rules and regulations.
The regulations exists because otherwise nobody will enter the market in first place. They are there to ensure a decent revenue to the taxi driver and make this job appealing enough so there is enough taxis available for the citizen when they need one.
Who f... care how cheap is coal and natural gas when you factor, blah, blah, blah,... These are intangible costs you cannot compute and actually put on the budget sheet. So, as long as you cannot actually compute and link a real cost item on the balance sheet, it doesn't exist. Estimates are not costs, projections are not costs. Nobody really want to pay an upfront cost on gas and coal for something you cannot actually track the money to the actual expense. I can argue I am charging you a potential damage cost in the gas price to put aside to pay for all environmental damages or something like that and just bank the money for my next yatch and whatnots.
What a waste of resources. The selling argument '...preserving our memorial spacecraft for eternity.' is idotic, nothing is for eternity, in particular this solar system we all know perfectly will eventually be eaten by its Sun.
The worst part isn't the rebranding. It is none of these f... businesses seeking for rock stars will ever pay the money a rock star deserves. That's just hilarious to read a position description asking for a rock star programmer or whatever, it usually means you will be paid peanuts and you are expected to do miracles in exchange. The HR people are the worst dumbasses on this planet. Never apply for such a position.
It is not because you are not dead yet it is perfectly doable. And once you will be dead, you will not be able to tell us it is not that doable after all. How old are you? How many years did you manage to stay alive? What will happen when you will grow older and your reflex will become less accurate?

Me too. However I got a volleyball I named Wilson in case I am in need to talk to someone that isn't idiot and selfish.

The problem is illegal immigrants do not get visas, since they are illegal by definition.
I think Morgan Freeman has the best approach to dealing with racism, and that is to just stop talking about it.
So, you should have shut up in first place.

In fact, you confuse anarchy with free market.

There is always some time for mundane things. That's not the problem. The problem is that /. is making it news for nerds.

Difficult to say if you are repeating anything. You have a single dot in you plot, you may overfit it by extrapolating to your beliefs.
