Exploiting women for their sexiness is done for the express purpose of exploiting Men.
Men are always the ones who are exploited. We are exploited by our employers to generate profit. We are exploited by women to provide for their welfare. We are exploited by our children in the same way.
Men do not do the exploiting. Men are the ones who are always exploited, because we are the only ones who actually DO stuff, and so those who don't DO must exploit us for a portion of our productivity.
I wonder how it feels when your college degree is worth less than just standing there being looked at.
A good-enough looking woman can make six figures easily at a strip joint, and in fact many girls put themselves through college doing just that, only to stick with stripping after graduation because it pays more. A lot more than an entry-level CS job anyway.
One of the coolest things about Hydrogen is that at the pressures required to keep it liquid at room temp, it is a supercritical fluid, which means it is both liquid and gas.
What makes this cool is that, upon loss of the pressure that is keeping it liquid, it will spontaneously switch to its gaseous state. And, this change is not mediated at all since a supercritical fluid has no heat of vaporization.
In other words, the fuel source works at all temperatures, even the -50C found at altitude, without requiring an external source of heat.
Of course, the bad part happens when there's an accident, and hundreds of gallons of supercritical H2 suddenly become several hundred thousand cubic meters of H2 gas, which is not exactly what you want to have around when there's a lot of energy being dissipated by mangling metal.
Renouncing your Citizenship is as easy as a visit to the State Department. You're welcome to go turn in your card and go somewhere else. In fact, please, do it.
There is no such thing as a net zero anything when you look at the dust-to-dust analysis. Things always cost energy.
In this case, it is only a net zero proposition when observed inside the confined bubble of the datacenter. However, when you look at the total energy expenditure, it is hopeless to try to call this a "green" solution.
Currently, it takes about 30MWh of energy to produce 1kW of full-sun solar capacity. So, their 134kW solar farm cost about 4GWh. Of course, with a 30,000 hour full-sun payback cycle, the solar farm will never produce that in its useful lifespan of 25 years, let alone with most of its energy being consumed by the datacenter.
This is not even to mention the energy cost of building the datacenter, and the things inside the datacenter, maintaining them, and then managing the waste when they are discarded.
So, no, this is not a net zero project - not by a long shot. In fact, I would venture a guess that it is actually more costly from an environmental standpoint than just building a traditional datacenter powered by electricity produced from NatGas or Nuclear, especially when adding the toxic waste emissions from producing silicon solar cells to the tremendous energy required.
I burn carbon for heating every winter, from a 100% renewable, scalable, naturally-occurring energy source. TREES.
Yep. Every year I axe a tree or two on my property, chop them, and set the wood out to season for the following year. For every tree I cut down, I plant 10-20 oak saplings in pasture land I am not using. I figure I'll cut down 30-40 trees on my property for heat before I expire, leaving behind a veritable forest in my wake.
I think you need to take a Valium and go seek out some of those fact-based papers you speak of, because you've obviously chosen to guzzle the scaremongering religious koolaid from the climate change FUD camp.
Seriously? We need gadgets to grill out now?

You do not need gadgets to grill.
You need two things:
1) Meat 2) Heat
WTF. I seriously hope there is never a breakdown of civilization because today's tech-dependent freak parade would never be able to survive.
The difference is that 1 + _ = 2 is taught as "magic," where you just "know" that 1 + 1 = 2. It's rote memorization of addition tables.
1 + x = 2, subtracting 1 from both sides to get x = 1, is algebra, where the pupil knows what they are doing instead of simply recalling that 1 + 1 = 2 .
What is sad is that algebra is incredibly simple to teach and learn, and the average 6 year old possesses the cognitive faculties required to become proficient in it.
At my old high school, athletic coaches make more than the teachers, and administrators make way more than everyone else.
My wife is in school at Clemson University finishing her degree, and we recently found the website where SC lists what it pays people there. On the first page, there are probably about a dozen athletic coaches making $245,000 per year (and we can't forget football coach Dabo Swinney, who costs the State over $2M/year in total, and gets two brand new cars every year - despite the fact that the football program doesn't make one red cent in profit for the State). Most professors make between $90K and $125K.
We have really fucked up priorities when it comes to HOW we spend our education dollars.
I think one of our biggest spending missteps is that we pour so much money into trying to make all students the same, when it becomes very clear by the age of about 6 what the kid is going to be when he/she grows up. I was taking apart the Atari and asking for a 200-in-1 electronic project kit for Christmas when I was 4. I went to a Montessori school in New York City until I was about 8, and they encouraged me to pursue those interests, but then my parents traded the private school tuition for a new life upstate, and I started going to public school, which could not understand that I already knew math on what was their 11th grade level.
Those idiots forced me to spend half my school time on arts and crafts, home economics, and other stuff that I had zero interest in, and it was a waste of my time and theirs.
We need to put a system in place to identify where kids are going at a young age and put them into schools that allow them to pursue those interests. The people who currently control our education system seem hell-bent on stamping out a bunch of identical automatons, and it's just wrong.
I started teaching myself Fortran in 7th grade when I got my Ham Radio license and heard that it was the program of choice for modeling Antennas. Of course, I was not aware of this whole calculus thing, so I couldn't actually write my first antenna modeling program until 8th grade after my dad taught me calculus over the summer.
Math is another subject we seriously need to accelerate. High School just doesn't teach enough Math, even in AP. High school graduates pursuing STEM degrees need to have a firm grasp of Vector Calculus and Differential Equations by the time they get to college. Too many entry level classes are non-calculus based because of this problem, and are therefore a waste of time.
Seriously? It costs 2 cents to print the consent form and a fraction of a penny for ink in a fucking pen.
There are things in life that are more important than the State running around collecting peoples' DNA without their consent for unknown and/or nefarious reasons.
What else has become evident is that trolling has become trivially easy on Slashdot. Judging by the positive moderation of the OP and the cornucopia of responses it has already gathered, all I have to say to the OP is:
Bravo. Bravo. One of the best and most successful troll posts I have seen in a long time.
It's still just LTE, which is not 4G. So, it only makes sense to rebrand it (and all of it's other "4G" products) worldwide as "cellular," since none of them support 4G.

Sounds like it's FEMALE-dominated to me...

There is no such thing as a woman who does not like being admired for her appearance.
While that is correct, Slashdot just got a bunch of money from nVidia, so the opportunity to create that appearance just couldn't go unutilized.

Just because it was not observed, does not mean it did not happen.
If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is there to hear it, it still makes a sound.
Or, perhaps, 1930's Germany?
Just curious.
... how the FUCK this passes the slightest hint of anti-trust scrutiny?

Yes, it is legal to require you relinquish rights to partake in a voluntary activity, such as purchasing Windows 8.

If you are very concerned with your privacy, it MUST be because you are up to something illegal.
If you aren't doing anything wrong, then you have nothing to hide.
And so on... scary, Orwellian shit going on these days.
Moral of the story: If you don't want to get assessed a huge penalty for stealing music, then DON'T FUCKING STEAL MUSIC.

I took programming in 3rd and 4th grades. In 3rd grade we started with logo, and then in 4th grade we started writing in BASIC.
That was standard curriculum throughout the State back in the early 80s.
