This is not a practical bike. "Even on smooth pavement, your vision goes blurry because you're vibrating so hard," Collin said to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter back in 2012 when he was only 15 -- and already building wooden bicycles. Collin's wooden bikes are far from the first ones. Wikipedia says, "The first bicycles recorded, known variously as velocipedes, dandy horses, or hobby horses, were constructed from wood, starting in 1817."
You know what else those early bicycles were called? "Boneshakers."
This seems like Maker/DIY gone terribly wrong. Why would a nerd be interested in this news?
Media agent says that a professional community not currently in bondage to ^w^w^w parasitized by ^w^w served by agent representation needs vitally to be served by agent representation, and by a completely unrelated stroke of luck, media agent is available to help.
Thanks. I was afraid I wasn't going to get my daily dose of advertising masquerading as news.
You're missing the (unstated) part that anything a "legitimate" politician says will be immune to this. Because, you know, they're legitimate. Just ask 'em.
Do you really think a politician would enact a law restricting what THEY do? Law is for little people.
Are people actually hearing inductor acoustic oscillation over FAN NOISE?
If you can hear yourself think over your graphics card, YOU'RE NOT A REAL GAMER!.
DMCA effectively authorizes disclosure. Problem fucking solved.
Sorry, if it comes to a pissing match between EU law and US law for a US-based company hosting on US-based servers and infrastructure, EU law won't even come in second place.
I suspect that's by design. Sick and sad, but true nonetheless.
If you want your rights to be protected, don't use US-based services. You're just voluntarily surrendering all your rights if you do.
But the DMCA itself is quite applicable to youtube.com, an American company primarily operating within US borders.
I suppose EU member state citizens can post their videos on video sites outside of US-hosted ones, but if they choose to play in the DMCA's playground, they can't be surprised when they turn out to be susceptible to DMCA bullying.
No one doing this shit ever believes they'll wind up in jail or bankrupt. It's like the Dilbert, where PHB insists that even if he winds up being wrong in the end, at least he's right at first.
Sadly, the difference is that a Kerbal may have survived that mishap that killed Enterprise's co-pilot, just because they're unbelievably durable little (simulated) chaps.
I have no idea why I have to say it out loud. Hypocrites don't believe they're hypocrites. Frankly, they don't believe in hypocrisy. What they want, they deserve. What anyone else wants, is either irrelevant (if it doesn't interfere with what they want) or evil (if it does interfere with what they want).
Say what you will about unvarnished greed. At least it's internally consistent.
You clearly have no use for or expectations of commit messages at all, if your blanket answer is "look at the diffs".
That tells exactly as much as no commit message at all.
You probably don't comment code, either; I mean, the code's right there, amiright? Or else, your comment is a mindless regurgitation of the code, like "add 1 to pointer".
Complete waste of time, attention, and bytes. Don't insult the intelligence of the community with such brainless drivel. Add some value or don't use the thing at all.
the thermoplastic "ink" will be the most expensive substance on Earth, by weight or volume. And protected by a DRM'd cartridge system. And declare itself "empty" at about 25% remaining, in order to "protect the printer from running dry".
Because for good or ill, almost every nation has signed off on the idea that the form of fantasy property called "copyright" is legitimate property. Show me a Berne Convention equivalent that "legitimizes" bitcoins and its ilk, and you'll have a serious point instead of vague nerd-rage trolling.
Slashdot Mirror
He isn't an unperson until all his work goes into the memory hole. That is doubleplusungood.
And, quite tellingly, puts forth a suggestion on how to shut them up.
What I'd like to know is "if moderation hasn't silence Slashdot's angry crowd, why would it do so on Twitter?"
I tried tagging the article "not Linda", but since "not" is an exclamation point, it actually reads "bang Linda."
I don't think it helped.
Maybe he's not a fish research. Maybe he's a seal behaviorist. Or maybe he wants the cute seals to stay well fed.

At-will employment, that's how.
"We can fire you for any reason*, and you can quit for any reason. Fair?"
*"Any reason" except for reasons specific to the employee being a member of a protected class. But "pot smokers" is not a protected class.

Real nerds don't call it "First Edition."
There was only one edition. Any assertion to the contrary will be vigorously ignored.
the thermoplastic "ink" will be the most expensive substance on Earth, by weight or volume. And protected by a DRM'd cartridge system. And declare itself "empty" at about 25% remaining, in order to "protect the printer from running dry".
Indeed. The highest quality case would be shaped just like a spherical cow. I have so postulated.

"We ordered them to freeze and stop all movement. They kept breathing. They brought their deaths on themselves."
You keep repeating this egregious lie with such enthusiasm I have to assume you're being paid to do it.
At least we know that FTDI has some representation in this discussion, although they're not doing a very good job hiding their interest.
I hope the walls on your gated community are high enough and you pay your private security contractors enough not to steal from you.
Automation is the answer to that problem as well. Security 'bots and sentry guns don't steal. And only rarely attack the wrong people.
