So in the end we end up with batteries that are 25 times as explosive too?
In my opinion batteries sucks as energy storage for heavy loads like cars. Using capacitor banks to manage start/stop in city traffic and uphill/downhill is another thing.
Room temperature liquids that mix with air to get combustion are easier to manage - contain them if they start to burn and it will stop. Contain a runaway battery and it just accelerates. What we should look at is cheaper processes to produce liquid fuels that are as good as the fossil fuels but from recyclable materials and waste material. A large scale multipurpose processing plant with high capacity is probably the most effective way to do this. Located close to a city any excess heat should be possible to use for central heating.
From one perspective some of us do care - they do make stuff that works reasonably well.
But my suspicion is that there's more to this than just abandoning Cisco. In many cases it's a lot cheaper to set up a router based on a PC and Linux, which probably is what happens in "emerging markets".
As for the NSA - they could probably do a lot better for the economy if they did put their effort into tracking down and nuking scammers, spammers and other internet pests - and their karma would be better. And they better use the CIA and others to really "take care" of those problems.
Criminals using printed guns wouldn't care if they are illegal or not. They want them to be undetectable by scanners if they use them.
But most criminals want guns for scaring people, and even a simple one made from bare metal would be sufficient. Give me some time with a piece of steel and a drill press and I could come up with something scary.
Also several of the travel passes in Sweden have the same flaw, Västtrafik, SL etc. - all uses the same data format and basic strategy.
It's fairly easy to hack and with the new cell phones with NFC you can even copy the card that someone else carries without them knowing it and copy that to another card.
There are better cards that has better encryption, but it's just a question of time before they are broken too.
Depends on the other sources of income that exists. If you live in a forest cabin and have just enough to live on it may make a big difference to cut the wood yourself.
Firewood heats at least twice - once when you make it, once when you burn it.
So what we will expect to see is that sooner or later Java will get the axe too - or be an Oracle internal tool that will cost a crapload of money for anyone outside Oracle to use.
Blackberries have always been a local feature to North America. If they really had been good then they would have sold well elsewhere too.
Apple did show how to make a touch-phone that sells, but now everyone else has caught up and Android is a lot more developer-friendly so there are more apps showing up there all the time. Blackberry and Windows Phone/Mobile/CE/Whatever are left behind and will have a hard time to catch up if they ever do. Phones today need not only to exist but also have a good and friendly environment for developers and users.
I have a feeling that the peak of phone evolution has been reached and what we see now is just minor tweaks and improvements. Profit margins are about as good as on cars - next to nothing. What contributes to profit is the aftermarket stuff.
It's probably a lot more well-implemented since those that are permitted to do that work at least need to pass some security checks. This means that it's not just any cheap labor that can be employed to do that work.
But for a lot of work the cheapest bidder is mandated by law.
I agree - the dishonor they would have faced when discovered would have resulted in a severe blow for both Japan and the US. How do you explain that all the government members committed suicide due to dishonor?
I agree TFA has it wrong - there is a lot of competition going on all the time and the large amount of services that exists are good for most of us.
I can only guess that the writer of the TFA is lazy and not willing to search for the best suitable alternative. And if you want an all-in-one solution set up your own server.
The Amazon brand is just the oil in the machinery that makes a lot of other businesses profitable. The day someone comes up with a machinery that don't need oil then oil as lubrication is dead meat.
Another way of looking at it - by having low levels of profit you don't attract a lot of sharks trying to suck the money out of that business - and you avoid most of the competition too because they don't think it's a profitable business.
Yet another way to compare it - the Amazon brand is the railroad tracks for goods - the goods on the tracks and the businesses that get the goods carried on the tracks are the profitable parts. If you get competition then you will have a different network of tracks laid out and the value for the customers will be lower.
So I sense a business strategy with a greater picture in mind. Too many operators today are short-sighted and just see other shops around as competition instead of collateral business opportunities. "I sell fruit, damn that pastry shop down the road that takes all customers" instead of thinking that "OK someone buys pastries, but they may want a fruit as dessert".
Game consoles are just stupid bricks that don't evolve. Looking at the speed that the PC industry has evolved it's easy to see that the game consoles are quickly left in the dead behind when it comes to performance.
Depends on your source address in Toronto, also on the delivery address. It's more suspicious if you use a TOR node in Toronto than a more normal address.
But it's to some extent also the fault of credit card companies that don't offer the best possible verification and resort to the stupid CVV.

Which is a good reason to avoid outsourcing to India - then the risk will be lower - unless you have people from India working at your local helpdesk.
And in the process they destroy the life of the people they did steal the identity from, therefore the means of capital crime is justifiable.
Identity theft should be a capital crime.
Francisco Scaramanga wouldn't care.

Oh - they do something about it - it ends up in their fap stash.

Winter?
The next ice age is approaching!
Screw Global Warming, nature is messing with us.

There are still people that have the kitchen stove as central heating for their house.
Of course - there are still people that just have a pit in the ground when cooking.

Only thing we have left now is 4chan - which never was good.
The book has some potential, but I wonder where all the need for action comes. A lot of Science Fiction would make a great adventure.
Even with lower power a directional antenna will lower the interference from other cells so it is definitely worth it.

And fill them with carbon dioxide. That will solve two problems at once:
1. Rats and other pests.
2. Any potential intruders.
Just use the exhaust from a local power plant or heating plant and flood that into the sewer system.

Not if you live in the boondocks of Montana. :p
