And the real story is... Where is the biannual training on reaching and living to your closes 3 fallout shelters? I happen to grew up in a country where this was a regular drill in school years - know your way to the shelter, know how to don a gasmask properly sealing around your face and how to attach your filter properly, try running with that gas mask on, so you are not that much confused, know how to do a primitive decontamination with iodine, water, and I don't remember what else. Get to know what is where in the shelters, etc.. Those are not everyday things, you push them out of your mind in about a year or so. And no, first responders numbers (declining die to budget cuts in the recent years) are woefully inadequate to direct the panicked masses to the shelters. Or do they plan to deploy FEMA and the national guard right away?
No it isn't and it is insufficient at blocking malicious javascript that is part of the page itself.
That javascript can manipulate the CSS and load and add, or malware. So hosts file could be just one layer of the security onion, but by far not the only one. You still need a deep packet inspection proxy, that manipulates pages (e.g. like privoxy) or you need an inbrowser object dom blocker, like adblock or ublock origin. And if I have more than one PC at home, it is much better that I properly bock on my border router than use a hosts file, as hosts files are useless for mobile devices, and you have to apply on each PC, whereas with the firewall you only do it once. Also I redirect all DNS requests to my local resolver on my border router and have local static entries for e number of sites, that point them out to IP addresses in the 239/24 and block those out in my firewall, but have the benefit of using counters and a centralized syslog for dropped packets so I can inspect which machine is sending request.
Hosts file just don't cut it. Not by a long shot on their own. Anybody advocating hosts file as the ultimate solution, is a ultimate fool if they don't understand that is insufficient, and an ultimate tool if they understand it, yet don't speak about the rest.
Yet rare earth and other materials for solar panels are actually strip mined, the energy needed to refine them and create the panel is about the same or more as the panel will ever produce before efficiency falls to practically zero, so it is foolish to use solar to any place grid connected, and even criminally negligent to use them for grid generation considering the environmental impact at planetary scale (not at the local 100 yard scale). It is even more foolish to replace base load generation to incidental peak generation. Hydroelectric (with pumping back up at night) is probably the only actual green alternative
The pages I visit (mostly salesforce and different wikis with scanned contracts if you believe it) will blow Firefox out of mem with 10 tabs easy (6GB+). The same type pages will take 60+ tabs in Opera 12 under 800 megs.
This is not hard at all.
There was one exam in my college that the professor knew we are going to cheat. What was his solution - give us 30 small question instead of 2 big ones. Small details that can be answered and written down in 30 seconds and that is how much time we had. There ain't no time looking for the cheat in 30 seconds. He instructed us how to fold the sheet of paper after each question, so it was not easily possible to go back and add stuff to the questions. And the whole exam lasted 20 easy minutes after which we went to drink beer in the lobby bar, not two effing staggering hours when you are trying to find the right cheat and copy it, and so on.
Well it shouldn't be. Overweight should not be protected at all. I am obese - 5'8" and 265 lbs and have 43% body fat (so not a muscular build at all). I also do Crossfit (though I hate cardio to my guts and just skip it), regularly bike for 55-60 miles (in Phoenix), hike 10 miles at a time at a pace my skinny co-workers can't keep up with on the flat, though on the way up I may need more breaks than them, but have the power to climb things they need a little push or pull on, able to handle more meetings and customer calls than they do without losing my mind and getting panic attacks, and producing generally more then them keeping 3 teams busy - work like an ox, look like an ox, live like an ox. I sat on a upside down $9 plastic trash can for two weeks after a move because we didn't have enough chairs and gave mine to a lady coworker that didn't have one. Most others said they can't work in the office and went home. No one has had the idea of calling me obese, even though I am and I accept it and I openly tell them that I am. I eat 1700 calories a day only, and have very efficient intestines that convert everything that I eat into energy with almost nothing to get out of me. I consider protein to be construction material, fat to be energy and carbs to be poison. I can drink two buckets of drip coffee and not have my heartbeat change at all. I pull my weight for the company and for my colleagues, and I am free to express the most management disliked opinion in public without consequences.
Now there are the land whales in the office, that when going through a doorway another person can't be in the frame at the same time with them, that get tired sitting on their asses talking on the phone for 20 minutes, producing almost nothing, taking multiple 1 hour breaks in the lunch room, just complaining about how tough life is, while gulping cookies and cupcakes and coke. And I do think they deserve fat shaming, and I do think they deserve being called out on their performance reviews for drawing the middle line back, and potentially relieved, or having their pay reduced to actually go hand in hand with what they produce for the company.
Who has enough ram on their machine to open enough tabs to even cover a decent monitor these days? The leaky inflatable canoe that Firefox is goes tits up on 20 tabs, on a machine with 8 gigs, and most people don't have 16 or 32 gigs in their laptops and even desktops. So yeah, removing this mistake of a "feature" is the proper option.
That all browsers we have today are leaking memory left and right is a problem almost no one speaks of. The last memory efficient browser was the 12.X presto based Opera.
Well it is nice, but it is late. 11 years ago we (one person at least) knew how to transmit both analog and Digital, yes digital with a homebuilt equipment

True, I am aware that concrete just crumbles and bursts in high heat and then rebar becomes soft and gives way to the added weight, but that is pretty rate in residential where the rooms small enough and no fuel is stored on premises. Furniture isn't enough to cause such high heat.
How about instead just use the robots to build the buildings out of concrete and rebar, so you are not having to deal with fires and fire alarms all the time, and for smaller houses build them from prefab panels or real actual stone and brick? I grew up in a country with concrete buildings and fire was the only disaster nobody was afraid of, as it practically never happened. You could have a localized fire in a room, or in a trash can, but that's about it, and all you need it is to kick it or throw a blanket over it. Concrete just doesn't burn.
You are wrong. If the goal was reducing the costs, then the governments could just institute basic income, and those displaced white and blue collar people will still be able to afford the goods, as the cost is marginal. But, you forget, the goal is not reducing the cost, the goal is maximizing the profit. So either through social unrest, or government mandate, the profit will be quashed. Sales price has to be something like cost + 20% max, and with robots being super cheap, it should be only cost + 2-3% (for upkeep of robots). I don't see those guys voluntarily abandoning their profits though.
So let's have it - super cheap made by robots, then almost nobody has to work, just get basic income and still be able to afford stuff.
Yet 2 out of my 5 SSDs have failed, and those are reputable brands. The first one developed memory hole that the controller does not see, it is just completely unable to read several sectors (a 64kb piece) and responds with seek error, and has made no attempts at remapping them, the other lost its capacity and is showing like 20mb drive (some kind of firmware update mode), which also has all of it's sectors unreadable.
And it is useless as you can't set your partitions to ZFS unless there is a complete development environment in the installer so it drops the kernel module at the installation time, so your system can boot. Oh, wait, it can't do that, since if you want to format your partitions as ZFS the installer kernel needs to be able to write to them, and that won't work, unless you can load the module dynamically in the installer kernel right after it is compiled.
It is bad enough that Ubuntu mangled the installation options so badly that to tell that I want my partitions as XFS inside LVM I need to jump though 10 dropdowns and windows, and now this. IANAL, but I do agree with Ubuntu's interpretation and not with Conservancy's interpretation.
Well, then it is again time to do a long-term evaluation..cough...cough... of Windows 2012, just like back in the days of XP and 2003. 2003 was better in every regard over XP, especially when running Autocad and 3DS Max even with Geforce 2 cards softmoded to Quadro and overclocked Duron @+30% clock. This served me well for ages, and the whole reinstallation of the OS and the apps every 30 or 60 days was not even a bad idea when you had your disk partitioned in the right way.
For Phoenix, Arizona you need only a quality set of driving gloves. Professions drivers and people with Bentleys still use them. Better to just class up.
There hasn't been a single person in the EMEAASPAK world killed by carbon monoxide poisoning, and our cars don't catch fire and obliterate in 30 seconds every time we crash, nor our homes tumble down because a fire has started, you just clean it out, put a new coat of paint and move on. Perhaps it is the American way of building stuff that is wrong and everyone is in the scare? Heck, even most of the eastern seaboard uses real bricks and mortar.
and I wish Microsoft still made Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 which was about the best mouse I ever used. I do have 3 of them, but recently got a Logitech M535 that is not too bad, but a little bigger than I would like.
BS. I've been using Bluetooth mice(Microsoft/ only lately Logitech) and keyboards(Logitech) with Dell laptops for more than 6 years now, and Bluetooth mice (HP, Microsoft) and Bluetooth keyboards (Apple) with Apple minis and macbooks since 2007. Never had this problem. The farthest practical distance that I used consistently (because I still need to look and see at the damn monitor, don't you need to look at it too?) is about twice my height or about 12 feet, and never had an issue. Bluetooth range is defined by classes - class I - 100m, class II - 10m, class III - 1m. Class II devices work well, and for mice and Bluetooth it is actually better to get class III as to additionally limit the range at which adversaries need to be.
Not necessary. They will apply their STIG though
here from the DISA website and firewall and additional security here from the DISA website. You will be amazed on what basic throve of info you have in those, even for Chrome and some other known to phone home things.

I am intrigued of this tab unloading extension you speak of. Is it made by Mozilla? If not, I'm not installing a random 3rd party code.

SLAM is a process, not a technology. It still requires sensors. If they are using cameras, they must be doing some funky 3d vision thing.

You only remodel with furniture, new ceramic tiles, new wall papers, etc.. The structure itself doesn't change.

It is not apple but the chipset that does not allow you to see the integrated GPU when another GPU is installed. Same for alienware alpha for example.
