Wouldn't a good walloping mass ejection from the sun just fry an orbital array? I'm sire if its big enough it would fry a ground based system too, but there's a huge amount of difference between what goes blasting through space and what hits the ground....
This is very good news. Monkeyboy messed MS up really badly. I've never been a fan of MS. Under Gates they were evil incarnate, and under Monkeyboy they became the bumbling stupid giant. Windows 7 was something they ALMOST got right, which they had too, because Vista was a catastrophe. And what did they follow it with? Windows 8, another catastrophe. Hopefully with someone who isn't such a short fused belligerent douchewad at the helm, MS might be able to make excellent products.
To the owners of Hotel Quebec,
I told the truth. If you do not like that, please take it up with my go fuck yourself department. Please address all correspondence to the director, Barbra Streisand.
Pour les propriétaires de l'Hôtel Québec,
J'ai dit la vérité. Si vous n'aimez pas cela, s'il vous plaît prendre avec mon Va te faire foutre département. S'il vous plaît d'adresser toute correspondance au directeur, Barbra Streisand.
Please people, I mean... really. We've heard this crap before, we know it doesn't work. So, just stop. Really. These people are snakeoil salesmen, parasites. Yeeesh.
The best insurance would be multiple hard drives in trusted hands.... Then the drives get duplicated, and the copies go up on pirate bay via Tor and other copies arrive on desks...
If the NSA wants to own the online, then, don't play online. The only way to win a game is to not play.
8 pm - 8.20 : shakey head cam shot of the sargeant at the station getting a low down on what to expect and assignments.
8.20 - 8.45: shakey head cam shot of donuts and coffee
8.45 - 10 : shakey head cam shot of the taillights of the car in front of the cruiser
10 - 10.05 : shakey head cam shot of the officer peeing all the coffee out
10.05 - 10.07 : shakey head cam shot of the officer's path out of the donut shop with coffee and another donut
10.07 - 10.15 : shakey head cam shot of officer writing a parking ticket for some douchebag's BMW parked in the handicap zone
10.15 - 12.30 - shakey head cam shot of tail lights of the car in front of the officer's cruiser
12.30 - 12.37 - shakey head cam shot of officer driving like a maniac to a call - lights and sirens rolling
12.37 - 12.45 - shakey head cam shot of some psychotic dumbass with a bullwhip on a street car screaming that he's Jesus and that the cops are all a bunch of fags and wimps cuz wimps are nothing but a bunch of WEAK IMPOTENT MOTHERLESS PUSSIES!!!! SO FUCK YOU COPS!!! FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU!!!
12.45 - 12.45 shakey head cam shot of the officer getting increasingly pissed off at being bated by the psycho, and then the officer tells him to drop the whip. He refuses, so the officer perforates him with high speed lead projectiles. As the psycho pukes blood and goes into convulsion, the officer barks "OK NOW WHO'S THE FAGGOT, BOY???" To which another officer says "Yeah. Damn straight."
12.46 - 2 AM - shakey head cam shot of officer driving downtown and filling out paper work.

The problem is: diesel is either made of petroleum (a very limited resource) or biomass (which has a low Energy Return on Energy Invested ratio, and is also based on a limited resource: arable land). Electricity can be generated locally (nuclear, solar, wind, water, tide, geothermal etc) and fed into a decentralised grid. Nuclear uses a limited resource as well, this is true, however, a switch to thorium fuel would permit a fairly graceful transition out of fossil fuel to a solar based (Because wind and hydro are also solar energy) system.
between hyperloop and high speed rail is a false race. YES we need fast trains to move people. What we need MORE is an electrified rail grid to move our stuff around. Most trains run off diesel. The age of cheap oil has been over for quite a while now. We need to shift our infrastructure away from fossil fuels, sector by sector. Moving ALL mass transport (cargo or live, vacuum tube or rail) to electric is of paramount importance, and it needs to start happening now, this way when oil started getting really expensive and scarce in the coming decades, we will be able to transport food and goods. What I think we should see is someone haul 100 boxcars of food from California's central valley to New York City using ONLY electrical engines, no diesel. That would be a landmark moment in history and a real beacon of hope for a future to technical civilisation.
You say "They don't provide any keys." But if they did, you would have no ability to tell. WOULD YOU? Very simply the internet can no longer be trusted. At all. Ever. It's effectively enclosed and dead.
How much is enough? 70 isn't long enough? 80 isn't long enough? 90 isn't long enough? 100 isn't long enough? 110 isn't long enough? 120 isn't long enough? 500 isn't long enough? 1000 isn't long enough? 10,000 isn't long enough?
The position Maria what's her name is describing is, in a word, stupid. People can live longer and longer, but how long? When is enough life, enough? For her, immortality is the only logical end point, and immortality is impossible, as we live in a materially finite universe. So, she's just pulling the Oliver Twist line of "More". The universe built humans to last (x) long. She wants (x+y) long. Tough shit. Learn to live, and you will learn to die. IT's what we're built to do.
Juliet, lissen beyotch, yer fam is like wack. I juss wanna make love to you babeeee! And we can commit sewer pipes! Yo! That'll teach those mofos ya can't stop luv! Buncha fuckin HATERS!
Make Another Jobs. He has to be super smart, he has to have a vision, and he has to have total charisma. He doesn't have to exist. You just MAKE SOMEONE like that. They will have to come from outside Apple - some crazy genius they find and hire to do some important, but not uber task. Then they are declared genius, and this person (essentially an actor) bloviates the planet. It would work for quite a while.
I live in Canada. Believe it or not, it's a different country. ALL Canadian internet traffic is routed through one of three cities: NYC, CHI, or SEA. I'm in Toronto. If I email a friend in Alberta, it goes through Chicago. By going through Chicago, the NSA records it. If you live in the USA, the NSA is recording it. Period. The only thing that will prevent them from reading it is if it's encrypted, end to end. But if that's the case,
a. the fact that its encrypted flags it
b. forget about searching your email for much of anything (they're working on that, but it's a hard problem...)
c. you will only be able to communicate with people who can decrypt your messages
So. basically, there is little purpose in trying to go around the NSA on this. The only way to beat them is to wrangle them in legally with policy and legislation, or, (my preferred alternative) simply disband the NSA and abandon the Empire....

How can you be so arrogant to think it should be modifiable?

I completely agree. The American passenger rail system is dreadful.
Solar?

We were supposed to leave that one alone....
No. Copyright is absurd. If copyright wasn't such a total clusterfuck, fair use would not be an issue.
