We *do* need superconductors. MRIs are an essential part of modern medicine.
What we don't need is long distance power transmission by superconductor.
This thread has been taken over by the unrealistic, unnecessary dream of superconducting power transmission. But there are a large number of other applications that superconductors enable. And doubtless even more that haven't been invented yet.
The section they are speaking of is giving recommendations for the initial state of the router. "Don't turn on a web proxy when he gets it out of the box. Let him customize that later."
There's already enough press about the goddamn company. I don't need you fucking up my newsfeed with this bullshit. You don't have a question. You have a job. So go suck Apple's dick somewhere else, ok?
I have no need for LinkedIn. Despite my boss's recommendation that I create an account, I closed my account years ago. Have never had any feedback from anyone at all about LinkedIn. A mail filter deletes any emails I get that even contain the word LinkedIn. So why should I care?
The word shit refers to something most people want nothing to do with, a substance they find disgusting.
And yet nearly everyone literally contains up to a few pounds of it inside themselves, at almost all times. (Unless they're preparing for a colonoscopy.)
How on earth did artists ever survive back in the days when you just paid them once for a record/tape/CD that you could play over and over for the next 20 years without paying them again? Especially when the studio/distributor/retailers took the lion's share of that money?
There were essentially no such days. Composers made money from published book royalties long before sound recording. Performers made money by performing. The first recorded performances from the 1890s onward were nominally protected by the same copyright laws, but they were poorly enforced; ASCAP started in 1914. Radio royalties started almost as soon as music started being transmitted.
Also will you continue to pay the artist for your favorite song over the next 20 years?
Why should I pay for a song more than once? Royalties continue over years because the streaming service / radio station has to pay for each use. Are you saying people shouldn't be able to play a song they bought over and over? That won't fly.
Or will that one song that you loved so much be the end of that artist. Because after getting paid for that song, they will no longer have an income because their other songs are not so popular.
Why should I pay someone for songs I hate and will never listen to voluntarily?
Also will you be paying for all the artists you enjoy? Or just a few of your favorites?
It's my wallet, isn't it? Each payment is my decision; if I decide not to pay and thereby go without some music that I might have enjoyed, that's my decision to make.
if DRM has taught us anything its that aggravating someone is the worst way to get them to participate in a market.
Well, to be fair, the argument against DRM had to do with the fact that it affects users who have already directly paid for the content. People streaming on Youtube haven't paid for the content, and thus must pay with some other means.
Youtube streaming is largely for convenience of getting to a single song easily; whether it would result in users paying for the tracks, paying for Spotify Premium or similar, or 'doing without' would accomplish the labels' goals...but the bigger concern I have is whether we'll see a renaissance in a Limewire-like service, which helps no one.
Use a radio streamer service, available in any decent Linux distro. Lots of non-stop music of all kinds.
You don't know how to read, do you?
Youtube is for finding the single song that you want right now easily. Non-stop streaming is radio, whether curated or random.
Argh, extra negation there. Rephrase: I don't accept that electrical currents in space are incompatible with the existence of these three other theories. Why would a platypus mean that ducks don't exist? Please explain.
So fine, there are electric currents. How do you get from there to such idiocy as
... exotic and untestable amendments to traditional theory—from “black holes” to “dark matter” and “neutron stars”—all based on phenomena unknown in our practical world and disconnected from any verifiable behavior of nature. (from Edge Science #9, your link)
I thank you for the education and I apologize for my misinformation. I gave up Pandora when Spotify began offering this service. Apparently Pandora just added this less than a year ago.

I suppose you never watch (scripted) TV or movies either. Or make up stories for children. You must be really fun person.
Try Goodreads, Mobilereads, LibraryThing, /r/books .... lots of places where people actually discuss books.
YOU ARE ADVERTISING, MANY MANY TIMES ON SLASHDOT OVER AND OVER, and you don't even have the guts to use your name.
You're an asshole and you should be ashamed.
Just great. Fucking ads on a story about ads.
uBlock Origin hides the sponsored listings for me, and now that I've told it, will hide the Amazon brands too.
The CHILDREN! Won't SOMEBODY think of the CHILDREN???
There is a maximum rate at which a black hole is allowed to rotate, and such a black hole is not a torus.

Because YOU HAVE TO WORK TO KEEP A HOTEL IN OPERATION.
Or a golf course.
Or even a slum rental property.
But Mickey Mouse? The only work being done on that is paying lawyers to get copyright extended again.
Delaware. Land of the corporations. What a fucking surprise.
And notice he's Democratic. Supposedly the good guys, according to some. Proof that it's all about the money.
Amusing that the Schelling point in this case would also be the selling point.
Um, what subscriptions? EvilSS is suggesting that *nonsubscribers" might receive injected ads.

I didn't. In actual fact, my first sentence admitted that I have accepted there are electrical currents in space.
I don't accept that admitting electrical currents in space in any way disproves these three constructs are thoroughly invalid.
To take only one, dark matter, and one bit of very persuasive evidence. If dark matter is not real, please explain gravitational lensing.
So fine, there are electric currents. How do you get from there to such idiocy as
?
Whereas in 2010, they were saying this:
Pandora is NOT an on demand music service. It is more of a music discovery service where it will play songs similar to the ones you already like.
