Unfortunately, continually dumping shit into the atmosphere is all about money too. Of course coal-generated energy will be the cheapest there is if you don't have to fully account for the waste products billowing out of the stacks...
I never said that DU is "weapons grade" but rather what is left over after enriching other bits of uranium to be "weapons grade" - as in a large percentage U235.
Not necessarily. Just a firmware change that has everything disabled until you change the admin password in the "setup wizard" that everyone is likely already running anyway.
If the source address is spoofed (they were) then it's not legit traffic. If you are getting thousands of requests a second for a service like DNS, from a particular IP that is not known to be an edge router for an ISP, then it's not legit traffic.
Inflation covers some of it - all goods do not change prices at the same rate. For example, in 1975 there was a significant amount of steel that would have been locally produced and cheap. Between then and now, the steel prices have changed dramatically, and by far more than inflation. New laws and new standards have been put in place that affect pricing outside of the standard inflationary index.
Damn. I guess I got lucky when I've been charging an iPhone every single night for the last 4 years without using an Apple cable, OR the little thing that plugs into the wall, since according to you they keep me from doing that.
What are you doing that destroys cables so quickly? I've still got 34-pin iPod firewire cables that are in great shape. The only reason I'm not using them still is because they killed 12V firewire charging with the iPhone, and then killed the 34-pin iPod connector with Lightning.
I've got tons of cables laying around that have been here for years and work fine. I think I've only seen two cables for Apple products "come apart" - one is a Lightning cable that is *not* Apple's manufacture (I think Monoprice) where the cladding was exposed to sunlight for extended periods and became brittle, and the other is a 4-year old Thunderbolt cable where a 180-degree vertical bend with a tight radius has caused the stress relief bit on the end of the plug to tear a little.
So, because Apple is involved, it's ok to pass off shoddy untested and unverified products at the same time as ripping off a company's trade dress and defrauding customers.
These aren't just generic USB chargers you plug into the wall - these are made and advertised to look like genuine Apple products, using Apple logos and everything. Except that they aren't.
Good to know that irrationality still wins the day with both Apple's fans, and detractors.
Because that's not how it works. "Depleted" Uranium is simply the U238 that is left over after enriching natural Uranium into reactor grade / HEU / weapons grade. It's not "depleted" by being used in a reactor - actually, U238 that is in a reactor (the majority of the fuel assembly) captures neutrons and turns into Plutonium, which then fissions and gives off more neutrons.
Now only if there was a power hungry city somewhere close to the Nevada Test Site that could use the power generated for big shiny lights and air conditioning. Or maybe a large pre-existing hydroelectric project that already has transmission lines running to it.
$370M in 1975 is $1.66B in 2016 from inflation alone. Add in the increased price of construction materials over what steel, concrete, etc cost then, as well as increased cost for labor and you might be getting close. Then, all the legal wrangling...
And Time Warner Cable was already swallowed by Charter Communications. The NBC Universal / Comcast deal is quite similar to AT&T / Time Warner Inc., actually.
He should have moved all that classified data through a private email server, then it would just be considered careless with no charges brought forward.
Please point out where non-software Apple products are included in this suggested "unlimited-time lease agreement", because that sounds like a baseless accusation which is completely off-topic.

Every year is an election year. It's just a matter of how big the election is.
The new acronym should be TWAT&T.
With the Clintons, "wait and see" equates to "our focus polling hasn't come back yet, so we don't have a stance."
Just once, I would like to see this "leader" actually lead the way on something.
Where were these fears when Comcast and NBC Universal got together?

Unless that router is employing NAT...
Isn't a dramatic landscape altering what is called for here?
Not anymore - there isn't enough Slashdot traffic left to melt down a load balancer.

It really shouldn't be that hard to analyze.
Wait, you mean that people should use the distributed nature of a worldwide network to their advantage?
Crazy talk!
Yeah, because no goods have ever had forged / false FCC or CE certification emblems on them...

Well, we all know that Slashdot uses the mighty APK HOSTS engine to protect it!
Just hang around here long enough, you'll see everything you've ever wanted to know about it.

No wait, you're just full of shit.

No, they aren't.
Time Warner, Inc. != Time Warner Cable.
And Time Warner Cable was already swallowed by Charter Communications. The NBC Universal / Comcast deal is quite similar to AT&T / Time Warner Inc., actually.
Not actually the cable company. That was already bought by Charter, and it was named Time Warner Cable.
Time Warner, Inc. is the content company that owns Time Magazine, Warner Brothers Home Entertainment, HBO, Turner Broadcasting, etc.
Yes, this is stupidly confusing.
