What utter crap. You ever heard of a battery charge indicator? Clue - its on the top right of the screen on most phones and - surprise! - it gives people an idea of how much charge is left! So now, there wouldn't be "random" shutdowns, and if apple built a product where you could change the battery this wouldn't be an issue in the first place would it Mr Shill?
Yeah right. Todays gamer is tommorows fat cardiac arrest victim. The next Bill Gates is designing and writing the games, not sitting eating pizza playing them.
"Still bad, but not a huge deal 20 years ago, when computers with Intel CPUs were almost always single-user machines."
20 years ago was 1998, not 1968, and Linux and WinNT were both online as servers back then so your comment is nonsense. Are you a Millenial by any chance? If you are then an FYI - the modern world didn't start when you were born.
" A reactor that produces electricity and a reactor that enriches plutonium are both reactors, with a risk of radioactive contamination"
The fact that you see no difference between a civilian nuclear reactor that uses uranium (or thorium) and a military one that enriches plutonium says everything about the ignorance of you and the rest of the hysterical anti nuclear lobby.
Tell me - where do you think the uranium comes from in the first place? Do you think its magicked up? No, its fucking well mined out of the ground! This planet is naturally radioactive in numerous ways.
With any sufficiently large number of items you can almost gaurantee the self checkout will complain at some point and require a member of staff to put in an override code.
Quite why these checkouts require you to put the damn things in the bagging area to be weighed is a mystery to me - if you're going to steal something you're not going to scan it in the first place, it'll go straight from trolley to bag!
The assumptions these systems make and the constant faults they exhibit lead me to believe they were designed by idiots and coded by minimum wage morons presumably somewhere in asia.
Another one in the face for those silicon valley arsewipes who's idea of "disruption" is destroying established businesses through undercutting and paying as little as possible to both employees (yes, they are in the EU) and the taxman.
Tell you what bro's - if you don't want to pay tax how about you don't use any facilities paid for out of tax revenue? That would be , oh, most roads in the world I suspect!
DAB has worse battery life than FM, a shorter reception range for the same TX power, and often (depending on bit rate and codec) poorer audio quality. No one was asking for it, its purely politicians grandstanding and looking like they have their finger on the pulse of technology. Also the FM band being 30Mhz wide - less bandwidth than a modern ethernet cable - isn absoltely not use for modern data comms so it can't even be sold off for that to raise money.
I suspect all that will happen is legal broadcasters lose listeners hand over fist especially in car, and pirate radio takes over the FM band.
A sequel is a seperate film. "The matrix" is generally considered to be the first film of a series of 3. Therefor it had 2 sequels both of which were pretentious new age bollocks dressed up as sci fi.
Those of us over about 35 really don't give a stuff, we have real lives to lead and social media or discussion boards such as this are merely an entertaining diversion to while away the working day. For millenials it is their life, since most of them don't see to have a real one, at least not from a social point of view. A rather pitiable generation really.
... is he's an arrogant fool with an overrated sense of his own abilities who will not listen to advice from people who know a lot more and have a lot more experience of using linux/unix in a critical enviroment than he does.
Why red hat and other distros are in thrall to his buffoon and his 2nd rate software is a mystery that I suspect even Mulder and Scully would find a challenge to solve.
"Think subway functionality, with far more flexibility since individual cars can join and leave trains at full speed"
So basically its just a very expensive automated highway. I'm sure it looks great in an episode of the Jetsons. I've a better idea, save the money and improve the road system to people can drive their vehicles faster on it. Or if people don't want to drive they can get a taxi.
Odd how these people invent overpriced solutions for problems that were solved 150 years ago.
"You on the other hand seem to want to be acknowledged as an expert"
Seriously? Which part of "I suspect" and "There may well be" in my original post do you have a problem comprehending, because its seems like simple fucking english to me. If english is your second language I'd suggest learning it a bit better, if not then buy yourself a nice spade for christmas, it'll help you did that hole even faster.
Agreed. Its mainly a human survival (physical and mental) problem, not a launcher problem.
"Because he was sick and tired of being stuck in traffic and nobody was doing anything about it."
Perhaps Musk is from Mars, because people did something about it in the 19th century here on Earth - they're called underground metro systems. He should try riding one sometime.
Some sure, but the other moons of jupiter would be jet black even in their craters if it was any significant amount. Since there're not, it obviously isn't.
Very little I should think given the amount of ice still visible on calisto and ganymede especially in craters, which almost certainly don't have any kind of crustal convection. If it was any significant amount then these moons would be jet black after 4 billion years. So go ponder that one you smug bastard.

Multiple users not logged in at the same time? Maybe not on NT, but on Linux I assume you've heard of telnet logins?
Perhaps it might incentivise him to get out the basement and go get some exercise instead.

Most of these bloggers probably don't even have a license and think a car is just a tablet with some wheels and a seat attached.
Yeah, I wonder why? Blackmail a company over a gripe and tell them exactly who you are as well. I mean thats just savant level criminal genius, right?

Those don't even come close to covering the costs of maintaining the system. Corporation tax is required too.

"So your using social media"
I don't expect the usual lump of idiots on here to read entire posts any more, but is it really so hard to read the first fucking sentence?

Sure, build a metro, not some multi billion dollar evacuated tube that will apparently do 700mph. I think he's read too many jules verne novels.
There's decent overground passenger rail too in civilised countries. This might not include some parts of the USA.

You have a go at me for saying "I should think" , then you say "Seems to me".
On your bike you hypocrite.
Some sure, but the other moons of jupiter would be jet black even in their craters if it was any significant amount. Since there're not, it obviously isn't.

So you don't read, you just make it up. Got it. Glad we cleared that up.
