First of all, yes you can have a big screen, surround sound, and a beer at home. But, you can have all those, plus a wide,comfy leatherish recliner, reserved seating, at modern theatres. Yes, my local multiplex has a full bar and even a kitchen that makes reasonably edible sandwiches.
But here's the difference: once you're in the theatre, you respect the movie. You don't pause it to take a whiz, or answer a text from a friend (I hope!), etc. So there is something to be said for being in a theatre and giving your full attention to the movie.
I still have friends and family in the US, and it's beyond frustrating that they suffer, because these idiot GOP voters insist on shooting themselves in the foot.
... and then going to the Emergency Dept because they don't have health insurance.
If you/. complainers don't think both autonomous and HAD (highly-assisted driving) is going to be a gigantic market,you're not paying any attention. I am paying attention, mostly 'cause I work for one of the companies making radar & camera products for these functions, and partly 'cause I like the neat things my Tesla can do:-) . The fact is that there's going to be zillions of dollars' worth of contracts from car mfrs for sensors, processing algorithms, and control algorithms. Intel wants in on that.
You obviously haven't read enough dystopian SciFi. Heck, Even the relatively benign world(s) of Anathem put all the mathematicians into a locked-down monastery.
Bobs hacked Samsung TV is not a national security issue
It is when Bob is the son of a general and the television is used to eavesdrop on conversations of classified material in his house.
SRSLY? If some jackass general is discussing classified info outside of an approved secure area, that's the national security issue. He should be court-martialed. That said, catching him in the act in his own home should be preceded with issuance of a valid warrant.
I'm not bragging, nor am I whining: just stating a fact. I don't understand why people need a DVR when every show and its brother is available via OnDemand. NetFlix I could see as a possibility if I were suddenly laid off, deathly ill, and could do nothing but lie on a couch and watch shows. Since I'm not, I've got a job, books, the cello, tennis, and about a dozen other hobbies, leaving only a few hours a week for screen-eyeball time anyway. (and when the heck is Orphan Black coming on?)
Is there even ONE slashdotter who's going to comment on the **contents** of the catalog instead of bitching about governments and copyright issues (of which they most likely know very little)?
I'd be much more interested in reviews/ ratings of software tools for various tasks than in what NASA allegedly is or isn't keeping from the public.
This has exactly zero to do with "robots taking [someone's] jobs" and everything to do with the tax code and the government's attitude towards the majority of the people.
You are wrong. How do you think an EE picks the right transformer? From a sales catalog? You think a Mech E doesn't need to be able to run FMEA? Please tell us what company you work for so we can buy reliable products from your competitors.
You may not believe it, but back in the pre-1970s, every student taking science courses was expected to learn how to use a slide rule. Sometimes it was a similar one-hour intro, sometimes it came with the curriculum.
Programming high-level languages is the slide rule of the current era. Despite what many people think(cough cough Excel cough), you simply cannot be a scientist or engineer if you can't write decent code in, say R or python or Matlab.
As I've posted before, Fuck Toshiba and the [generic beast of burden] they rode in on. They have by far the worst consumer customer service I've ever run across.
You've clearly never actually read a security agreement document. At least for civilians, any threat of harm to one's self or family is sufficient cause to relinquish the classified material to whomever is making the threat. Personally, the thought of having to spend more time with a Wyatt-Earp-Syndrome border guard thug meets my threshold of "harm" . Just state that you're giving up the materials unwillingly under threat, and at least in theory you're in the clear.
If I understood this right they are calling the lack of attraction, repulsion. There's no negative force, or dark energy style shit involved. Shouldn't they call it a non-attractor unless they show active repulsion?
Despite what some of the other answers have ranted in agreement, this is a not-uncommon phraseology in science and engineering. Maybe a few of you have heard of holes propagating in a semiconductor, for example. Try not to get all wound up about a simple way to describe system behavior using simple analogies.
If dvd sales are replaced with streaming rentals, who is affected adversely?
Those of use who do prefer physical media where possible. I know this may come as a shock to you - but there are other people in the universe than you.
And this may come as a shock to **you**, but people stopped using sharpened quills to write books long ago. Just because you think some obsolete technology is daBomb doesn't mean you're correct. Get yourself a stream-capture tool and a couple 64GB SD cards if you absolutely must have a local physical copy.

Did he just say "No new taxes," or did he say "No Newt[Gingrich] Axes" ?
Heck you were even told, prior to that line, "read my lips," so you got no excuses.
Like they say, you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your nose.

Here, let me pull out the world's most violin for you, and use my thumb and index player to play it.
The usual response is "You accidentally the verb," but in this case "You accidentally forgot a very word" .

Apparently you aren't educated enough to know the difference between being smart/intelligent and being educated.
You pretty much proved the opposite of what you thought you were proving.

70% of Swedish youths are pirates. Don't tell me that number isn't related to Somalian refugees.

Maybe, but I'm pretty sure that the more pirates there are, the less global warming will occur. Just ask the FSM.

Joe Bob Briggs had it locked for movie quality . For quality ads, I say skip the bodies and beasts.

No.
