Cars in the 1970's were big, slow to get up to speed, slow to stop, and handled like they were riding on marshmallows. And the United States had a 55MPH speed limit across the country. Cars got better, much better, and the speed limits have gone up accordingly. Horrific looking accidents are far more survivable now because of massively improved safety standards. In many regions, time spent in traffic is improved because people are free to drive up to 75MPH on many interstates while staying in sync with the flow of traffic. Getting people moving faster allows the highways to allow more vehicles to travel on them per day. We should be figuring out how to safely get the speed limits up, not down.
I don't know about other countries, but in the US the redaction of the white line will give a license for a whole new level of passive-aggressive driving (as well as more overtly aggressive). We already have problems now with people who hog the fast lane, or who speed up and slow down to prevent other motorists from overtaking them or otherwise joining their lane. I can see that same class of jerk swerving back and forth to hog more of the road for themselves.
Sounds like a great recipe for increased accidents, road rage, and congestion. No, thanks.
Nobody ever said that Free Software = Cheap. "Free as in speech, not as in beer" is often heard. This is Free Software 101 stuff.
As for not imagining anyone spending that kind of money on a workstation, compared to what it'll get you in the Apple Store, some would call it a bargain. Note that it's being called a "workstation" and not a "desktop". For some people, there is a real difference.
1. Use your own modem. Your ISP should have a hardware compatibility list. Pick a model off of that list and you're good to go. I ended up picking one with no internal WiFi capabilities, because I had something better in mind. 2. I can't speak highly enough about the combination of a pfSense based router (I run mine on Netgate hardware) and Ubiquiti UniFi wireless equipment. I've got access points at opposite ends of my property to blanket the whole house and yard with WiFi coverage and it works very well. The AP's work cooperatively together, and I've been able to get creative about how I provide guest networking with this combination.
Any competent University CS major programmer could have figured out this was a stupid fucking hole. They are clearly incompetent and should not be in the security industry.
Yeah... who the fuck does this Phil Zimmermann guy think he is?
Strange commentary about your menses aside, there are valid applications for internet-connected refrigerators. Whether you can imagine them or not is another matter all together.
How about a refrigerator that knows its own inventory based on RFID tag scanning, and can automatically add items to your grocery shopping list when inventory is depleted? All of the parts to make this happen are there now. If you buy your food at a store that has embraced RFID. the part you may be missing is the smart fridge.
But none of it is relevant to this article; your refrigerator is going to have access to conventional WiFi when the time comes. This is much more likely about things like connecting municipal signage & traffic control devices, letting people at bus stops know how far away the bus is, etc. (or more likely smart adverts at the bus stops). Existing WiFi protocols are impractical to implement for devices that are rather spread out like this, and which don't require the kind of throughput that your mobile device or laptop would.
What's really sobering is when you look at relatively new but very successful FOSS ecosystems like that surrounding Docker, you'll see poor considerations for IPv6. If you're working on new bleeding edge stuff and you're still developing for an IPv4 world, you're needlessly wasting a huge opportunity to help the world move beyond IPv4. I really want to call out CoreOS's fleet project for using IPv4 private networks for cross-container communications where IPv6 would have been a much better fit.
...is that Zuckerberg is no Tony Stark. He had one good idea, and the right opportunity. Stark, though fictional, was an exceptional genius that had more brilliant ideas than time in which to realize them.
But Tor can do nothing about the path between the exit node and the endpoint. It can't protect you against an endpoint that is a bad actor. That's where the hidden service comes in handy; the Tor user has a completely hidden connection to the endpoint without the normal problems associated with malevolent exit nodes, or the path between the exit and the endpoint. Yes, good habits are still required between the hidden service user and the hidden service.
That quote is ridiculous. Anybody who's ever been to a gun show can tell you it's one of the safest most orderly mass congregations of people you'll ever have the pleasure of attending. The stuff that's for sale adheres to strict local, state, and federal laws. And there is no tolerance by the show management, attendees, or other vendors of shenanigans.
1. The summary doesn't even have a link. 2. Once you find the obscure link in the header, and watch the video, you just see some unfinished blob of a heavy lift drone taking off and hovering with some royalty free techno music behind it.
There's nothing here that is informative or newsworthy. Looks like more paid astroturfing.
I got a couple of Teensy3 boards for Christmas and they are nothing short of amazing. Better value than the Arduino. One of them is likely to find a permanent home running the lights and instrumentation on my motorcycle.
With the frequency of RPi "articles" on/. one might wonder if there is some payola behind the positive press.
But not a word is spoken about the ongoing supply chain issues, and resellers making candid statements about it not being worthwhile to try to carry them. Can we have a moratorium on articles that drive up RPi demand until the Foundation can get its supply caught up more with the demand you've already created?
These things are all over eBay and beyond. He'll have the thrill of building himself something hip & electronic that is practical and works well with tired older eyes.
I have an idea for an invention that I think I could build to make the AR15 safer, but I'm reticent to do anything with it because of the dominance of patent trolls in America and their ability to squash little guys like me. The free market could likely respond with some innovative concepts if we had patent reform.
This is just a clever way of forcing the worst kind of DRM on every consumer electronic device, at the hardware level, and making us support this "for the children".
If a credit reporting agency is providing false statements that are damaging to your reputation (your credit is part of your reputation), can you not sue them for defamation of character? Libel?
Right now the burden of fixing these issues is too great for consumers. I don't see how reporting false items on a credit report is any different from libel.
Of course, IANAL. I am only using common sense here. And we know there is no room for that in the judicial system.;-)
The software is just for their own software stack complete with adware and so on.
Really you're just plugging a router into their cable modem anyway. And from there your router doesn't care if you are running Windows, OS X, Solaris, Linux, OpenBSD, or OpenVMS (I can confirm all of these because I did them all... on Comcast!)
The software kit is something most geeks don't want anyway because it's just adware and additional revenue stream for the scumbag ISP. Comcast is about as plug & play as any other broadband ISP.

You're comparing apples and pancakes. They occupy completely different device categories.

It's obscure. Look for it in parentheses after the title. This was an editorial fail. Surprise!

$299 according to their web site.
I see you've never actually used a Mac as a server. Apple sells a server flavor of OS X, and it's actually quite good.

You don't hate the children, do you?
