We can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
You know when fluoridation first began?
Nineteen hundred and forty-six. 1946. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.
I'd hope that after 115 years, they'd be able to do better. But, an accelerator is an accelerator, which was what was claimed. If they said they had duplicated Fermilab on a desktop, that's different. How much real utility is offered by a 2 BeV desktop unit which differentiates it from a larger one? Is there any real value, other than "we did this?"
If you Google "2 BeV accelerator," the first relevant hit is a scanned typewrittendocument from CERN.
"Three different versions of android are going to present three different APIs that app developers are going to have to deal with."
You're claiming that all Android APIs change with each new version? Changes only occur to a small subset - mostly because it adds functionality which benefits developers, and with a strong desire to maintain backward compatibility. And a significant part of the fragmentation is to support consumer choice. I'll assert it's only the apps which push the boundaries which are meaningfully impacted, I've got apps which ran on my OG Droid running on my current phone, with no updates.
Microsoft seems to change APIs greatly between Windows releases, yet it hasn't seemed to hurt them much (UI changes are a different issue) - that's the advantage of market share.
But, more directly to your point - Android market share is 4x that of iOs, so even if a developer had to do 3 different codestreams for 3 completely different APIs, they'd still be ahead developing for Android, even ignoring the efficiencies offered by what is in common, and the uncertainty of getting into the walled garden.
Yeah, I was using the term as a catch-all for kids raised with minimal parental involvement (other than material goods and sports, of course) i.e. raised to be anti-social, with an unrealistic sense of entitlement, and aggressive in behavior.
"Expecting women to take the entire burden is unfair."
It's unfair that men don't have mammaries or uteri? It may seem unfair to you, but that's the way nature worked things out - women naturally carry the child until birth, then care for its nutritional needs afterwards. The men provided food and protection for the women. Women stay home and nurture (and gather when not doing that), men roam, hunt and fight. That's been ingrained for a million years, and expecting it to change as fast as society might want is unrealistic.
"Part of it is having better child care"
So, latch-key kids is your vision for a better society?
Decoding a WEP transmission requires a directed effort specific to each WLAN encountered.
We apparently just have different beliefs. I don't think it's the government's role to protect people from their own stupidity. Stupidity should be painful, especially if you can't be bothered to RTFM.
Seriously, I expect much better even from an AC. Pointing to an article about "Police radio," then extrapolating that to private communications and "commercial benefit?"
Are you claiming that if, after I see a TV advertisement for Coca-Cola, I'm a felon if I go out and buy a Coke?
The cited reference to "unauthorized reception" applies only to intent and disclosure of "contents, sender or addressee." Google's intent was to collect the locations of WiFi Access points, to improve their location services. They had no interest in who was sending what, and there's no indication that the collected data was ever disclosed.
I suspect that Google was simply working to enhance their location services by mapping Access Point MAC addresses to GPS locations. The simple way to do that is to drive around, collecting and location stamping packets, then process that data later. Nothing nefarious involved, and Google was upfront when they realized that some people were too stupid to set up encryption (or simply didn't care about their privacy). If they'd set up a pcap which grabbed only the headers, there would have been no issue.
No, it's more like standing naked by your front window, then complaining because someone takes a picture from the street. Setting up minimal WiFi encryption on consumer wireless equipment has never been a task requiring a "capable expert."
You do realize this was WiFi, so that the collected "private" data was being broadcast in the clear, right? There's a reasonable expectation of privacy if you bother to encrypt your WiFi, but running it wide open?
If you send radio signals off your property, they should be "fair game" for anyone who can receive them.
"You say that but on the last Tesla thread there were legions (well maybe one or two) of slashdotters who claimed that they regurlarly drove 7 hours without a break"
I drive a VW bus, you insensitive clod. 150 miles is 7 hours.
You go through all these calculations to make a point about "for rapid charging electric cars to be practical in anything other than really small numbers," while ignoring the obvious - electric cars use essentially the same amount of energy per mile whether they're quick charged or slow charged.
If anything, you're arguing against electric cars in general, not rapid charging.
Slashdot Mirror
Waze developed their own maps. The others who've done that are Navteq, TomTom (Tele Atlas), and Google.
LOL. You've apparently never seen Dr. Strangelove. Hint: you're Jack D. Ripper.

"The death penalty has never been an effective deterrent for any crime."
I would certainly be deterred from letting a parking meter expire if there were a death penalty involved.
OTOH, it also means that if you are polluting, there's no downside to killing people to keep it hidden.

They built a tabletop CRT?
I mis-remember using Netscape Navigator then. "Mozilla" was a code name, and part of the UA string, but it isn't what the browser was called.
