I never said it did. But like an odometer, S.M.A.R.T. Power_On_Hours gives a good indication whether or not you're getting closer to the end of a theoretical lifespan.
I'm thinking the same thing, and not just the windshield, but with every window. It seems like a permanent application of Rain-X that never fades. BTW, that stuff is awesome!
I was being sarcastic, but yes, your comment is justified. In any event, such a detour would be costly in terms of the amount of fuel burned if not a complete waste of my time. But hey, it's Siri. We are all so lazy that we now rely on a machine to make stupid decisions for us. And just when you thought that facepalm would languish sooner than later, it doesn't.
So as I ask directions from Siri, it may inform me that there's a 25% sale going on at a store in route of my final destination. So rather than looking at 'shiny', it tells me where and when to look for 'shiny' for me.. Nice!
It should be worth noting that linking an online account with a local OS account is nothing new. It first started with Window XP letting users link to a Hotmail account via MS Passport. The most notable feature was a count (often buggy BTW) of how many unread messages were left at the Windows XP logon screen.
To this day, Windows 7 does the same thing, only with a Live ID account. Things like opening up MSN Messenger become transparent as you're automatically authenticated. If you want to do this, follow the path of --> Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts\Link Online IDs
Ya, that's pretty weak. But that said, shouldn't all secure sites use an anti-hammering scheme with a specified cool down period. You could apply this behavior on a per source IP only so as to not DOS an account. In theory, a distributed botnet could attempt a brute force crack from multiple sources against one account, but how often would that happen unless you were specifically targeted in the first place?
first and foremost, bureaucracy is in the business of supporting said bureaucracy. That why the Government is called "The Beast". It feeds and grows ever more in complexity and without regards to individual freedom and liberty. In theory, this can all be corrected via default sunset clauses for each bill. That alone will keep them busy without having to keep expanding the government and thus spending and what seemingly would be an exponential rate.
I said in "theory". Come election time, make your vote count. Turn that "theory" into fact.
What was the the Chinese military contractor doing with the VMWare source code anyway?
If I had to take a guess, most likely it was a case of corporate espionage. Many engineering folk are of Asian descent in the US. Specifically Chinese, Indian, and Korean nationalities. So sure, Chinese had political ties back home hoping to garner favors for extended family back home and themselves. Generally not done out of patriotism, but for self political gain. This shit happens all the freaking time!
Steve wasn't that bright. Sure, he was smart, shrewd and an authoritative asshole based on others that have had to directly work with the man. All hallmarks that define effective leadership. From that aspect, he was just another benevolent dictator. And historically, people love this type of character.
Agreed. Console have evolved and expanded into full-blown multi-media hubs of our living rooms. Minus Blu-Ray playback, the PS3, XBox, Wii, can all play games and stream NetFlix. The Apple TV in theory could play games too with an OS update and iOS games synced from iTunes. The path is clear to anyone that can see. It's no longer about the hardware. It's about cloud based content that can be synced between different devices. The focus is pointing at intellectual property and not so much the hardware now and into the future. PCs, Consoles, Pads, Smart Phones...you name it. Different ways of accessing the same content you own.
I've heard of this. But what I want to know is this. Are the shortening of the telomeres caused by...
A:) poor diet, exercise, and lack of nutrition. or B:) Stress hormones causing destruction of our own DNA.
If it's "B", I'm really fucked! I have so much stress these last 5 years that I've about had breakdown (life, economy, working long hours to keep my job..ect). I don't drink, smoke, or do anything physically abusive. But I feel like I've aged 10 years. Now multiply that by however many American's and Europeans are going through the same shit in the Great Depression part 2.
Even if they are doing it for lulz, it employs people.
But is it productive to society as a whole? Does it encourage progress? Be careful how you state that or you might trip over the 'broken window' fallacy, even if inadvertently.
Core2Due (Q6000) here. Just found out my Asus P5B-Deluxe has at least one bad cap next to one of the PCIe slots. For me, Ivy-Bridge is the holdout. Besides, I prefer a mature platform over a new one. Microcode updates rolled up in the latest BIOS revisions not withstanding.
What pseudo-science? I I thought the parent was referring to the location patterns because of the known fault lines. That part is science. Now if we're talking about trying to assign order among chaotic events, then yes, that would be pseudo-scientific BS.
Most likely, yes given that it's part of the Ring of Fire if not near it. Disruptions just about anywhere along that area tends to cause a shake up (pun not intended) elsewhere shortly following a previous event.
Funny, I actually love glossy screens. They provide better contrast ratios and color depth. So crisp and clean. But that's ok, I know other people that hate them too. It all comes down to personal preference. Though it would be interesting to see the breakdown of that on the next slashdot poll.
Must be nice to own a home. Many urbanites either live in an apartment or condo. Often with designated shared parking. The very core group of people that could benefit from EVs are at a disadvantage when it comes to recharging them. I suppose you could have a recharging pole next to each parking space like an old school drive in movie theater from the 1950s with wired speaker mounts. But then you looking at maintenance, vandalism, and the dense electrical infrastructure capable of handling the nightly recharging load.
As others have suggested, the best way to address this with EVs is to use swappable cells where the owner pays for electricity and not the container (battery pack). The cells of course being a public vessel by which to obtain a recharge.
Yes, but it's mandatory. It won't stop, but just evolve from there.
Imagine the next version of the bill requiring GPS mapping along with speed recordings. The data gets dumped automatically via wireless upon your next pit stop for fuel. A speeding ticket is then automatically mailed to you with a court data.
Version 3 may include auto acceleration governors tied to the electronic throttle body (everything being drive-by-wire then). The car caps how fast you can go depending on where you're driving.
Version 4 may make driving manually illegal. Everything automated. Welcome to Minority Report. Don't think bad thoughts BTW. I'm sure they get uploaded too. Nothing seems impossible these days.
Hah, I love it! So now Apple' walled garden has come to bit them in the ass! Essentially, they set themselves up for responsibly of what 3rd party apps do. Keep tilling that garden Apple. Keep on tillin.

Used HDDs are not worth reselling due to the MTBF rate being met or exceeded. So you want secure your data by recycling your drive? Shred them!

Exactly. The ARM version of Win8 is a half-ass completed product if not explicitly neutered.

Let's hope it won't turn into a "falling star" as in Diablo 3 there after.
Perhaps it would have at least thrown DEFCON to lvl 3 if only for a moment.
