Well they can move to Texas and launch from Lubbock or Amarillo. Out west is nothin' but sand, rocks and California - so if any rocket falls, nothing important (to a Texan) will be hurt.
Fscking pay to train people. If COBOL knowledge means means a good paycheck and job stability - lots of people will want to do that.
I mean hydroponics and grow lights are all the rage now but i hear of no plans of migrating all the existing old-style dirt-based and sun-lighted vegetable gardens to that. Why ? Because people are still learning how to dig the dirt out in the sun.
The robots are not here to take our jobs, but instead to protect us. This has been known since the beginning of the century, as described in this documentary.
I mean, who wants do do those menial jobs of transporting and feeding older people ? Especially in the ones in multi-story buildings.
If you download & watch an old and obscure movie - which is not available anywhere for sale or rental - is it still pirating when there's no possible loss to anyone ?
I'm waiting for the "soldering gurus" who were screaming why the original RPi was not sold cheaper in component kit form to get the Lite model and solder their eMMCs on those empry BGA pads.
I remember all the boasting about them reflowing huge multilayer PCBs in their kitchen oven.
Maybe that's the whole idea. Those solar panels on the roof of Campus2 are not enough to power everything. But if they glue some rare earth magnets to a certain coffin and insert the resulting cylinder in an enclosure surrounded with a lot of coils...
And maybe they'll consider splitting the boring and uninteresting computing division as a separate little company: Apple Computer - that can resume making and improving the last Unix[TM] Workstations available.
How cross-platform is Swift ? Are the GUI libraries platform-dependent or independent ? I.E: can i write a single Swift program with a GUI that will compile, work the same and look similar on multiple platforms: Linux, Mac OS, Real Unix-es & BSDs, AIX, Windows ?
All binary & lib dirs linked in/usr ? That's incredibly STUPID Don't they know why/usr existed in the 1st place ?
Story time:
Back in the days when today's grumpy old beardy Unix Admins were young PFYs, the Unix operating system and it's ilk were gaining more and more libraries and utilities. Unfortunately the hard drives at the time were very small so / was running out of space. Thus a new hard-drive was mounted at/usr, and all the binaries and libraries not needed to boot the system into multiuser were moved from/bin,/sbin &/lib into/usr/bin,/usr/sbin &/usr/lib. This also allowed universities to have labs full of workstations with very small and cheap HDDs and NFS-mount a single/usr (as read-only) to all of them. New software needed on all workstations ? Just put-it on the shared/usr
So:
Those days we have large enough storage devices for huge / partitions and cheap enough that we don't need to NFS-mount them on lots of computers.
If you don't want to have binaries & libraries separated into / and/usr/ JUST PUT EVERYTHING IN / DAMMIT !

LATE-BREAKING NEWS FROM THE COUNCIL: VICTORY! The Council of Elders has confirmed the blueworlders' resumption of aggression upon our noble red sands. K'Breel, Speaker for the Council of Elders, addressed the planet thusly: OKAY. Okay, so I'm K'Breel (even though anyone on Slashdot can assume the mantle merely by declaring themselves Speaker for the Council), and I'm late, but I'm merely chronologically late, not as in the Late Second Adjunctant to the Council Formerly Known As G'Ranee.
But domestic politics is beneath us tonight -- just take a glance at the blue world beneath us for a look at how bad that can get -- and let us focus on what's important: over the past sol or so, our Planetary Defense Force has been so good at pre-emptively distracting the blueworlders with tasks like landing comets, grabbing their prospective mates by their genitals, low-planetary orbit missions, and just general tribal infighting that we haven't had to shoot down any robotic invaders in quite some time. But when the opportunity presents itself, we take advantage of it, and so, we did. Hence the trivial elimination of yet another putative invader from elsewhere. We'd do it every day, except that the blueworlders lack the gelsacular fortitude to send us more targets. Now as to gelsacular fortitude, on to Second Adjunctant G'Ranee...
When a junior reporter pointed out that the destroyed invader was merely a technology demonstrator built on the cheap to see if a landing was possible, and that the blueworlders' actual payload was safely in orbit, K'Breel had the reporter's gelsacs launched into orbit alongside those of G'Ranee for a closer look.
The Pi already has the maximum possible RAM size. The RAM is accessed trough the VideoCore chip and the VideoCore was built for a max of 1Gb. Pi 3+ will have to either use a new VideoCore chip - if Broadcom decides to make one - or a new APU altogether - breaking compatibility with all the other Pi versions. Get a cheap micro-ATX board with a passive cooled CPU and you'll have all your DIMM slots and SATA ports.
The only Display Out available at the moment for this device is a tiny I2C LCD. You will need to pay extra $15 for the expansion dock and $15 for the tiny LCD module. No option for Composite / VGA / HDMI / LVDS / anything

How about a 4th option ?

Also previous story was better, had 12 new clouds.
Where will 4chan's purple penguins spend they time now ? :-)

Same question for old music, books, software ...

I did it, and it works perfectly if you don't use any Gnome & co. stuff.
Not asking about the Apple GUI ones.
Just curious if there's a generic one (like Qt, or Swing) or at least a plan to have one in the future.
How cross-platform is Swift ?
Are the GUI libraries platform-dependent or independent ?
I.E: can i write a single Swift program with a GUI that will compile, work the same and look similar on multiple platforms: Linux, Mac OS, Real Unix-es & BSDs, AIX, Windows ?
... and with no orifice large enough (like, circular and 3.5mm large) to quickly vent any gases created by a shorted battery ...

Also the VoCore2 Ultimate, which actually has USB & microSD ports like a RPi sells for $44.99
The "normal" VoCore2 is just a PCB with a chip on it.

Mars will have high-latency internet.
Waiting on the opinion of the Ludite Apps guy - he's /.'s expert on this matter so we should abstain to further comment until he gives us the insight :)
To add to that:
- Any automation in and around Upton Towers using a raspberry pi ?

Read the storage & RAM sizes again. :-)
Values are in MEGA not Giga
It's just a very cheap OpenWRT box.
