That Homer Simpson is safety officer and the plant hasn't, so far, wiped Shelbyville downstream off the face of the map demonstrates the overall fool-proofing that goes into a nuclear plant.
I'm more concerned about a plant's management. Monty cutting corners on proper maintenance, dumping waste into a local water supply, having piles of cash to bribe officials and an army of lawyers on standby is the worry.
The last time I used public wifi it diverted to a EULA asking me to provide personal details and by clicking this box you agree you're not a terrorist. Then the darn thing wouldn't connect anyway!
A local coffee shop had an open access point but you're never truly anonymous if you don't know where the security cameras lurk.
But I wouldn't expect them to chuck the MIPS architecture in the bin entirely. You'd think they'd at least keep the IP alive and make an effort to port an internal build of iOS/OS X to the architecture for fun. Understandably, productization would be some way away if at all.
Imagine a future of 'smart' buildings where every office kitchen is fitted with a waste disposal unit that sends organic waste down chutes and up tubes to the rooftop greenhouse to fertilise climatically controlled coffee plants.
I updated recently and 2016 seems like a work in progress, e.g. Word's grammar checker removed most of the options - which according to MS support will be added back at a later time.
I briefly played around with Rust about 18 months ago.
The syntax (aaaaargh pointers!) took a bit of getting used to and admittedly I think the lack of implicit conversions involving mutable types, strings etc is a bit of a pain in the arse.
Wasn't the functionality of "tab groups" moved to an extension?
Look, clearly I've never used the feature, but what is the main objection to using the extension and pouring resources into that codebase rather than maintaining it as part of the core browser?
Surely maintaining less code in the core browser is a good thing, if the modular replacement does the job and is supported adequately by an extension writer.
Maintaining EOLed technology as complex as a browser is a big ask, when the Web itself evolves rapidly. Interesting to know the fate of the project if Mozilla divests itself entirely of Gecko, XUL and related technologies as early as 2018.
Buy a book on Rust and send your CV into the Servo team... Or become just another Chromium fork.
Pop quiz, hotshot. There's a bomb on a bus. Once the bus goes 50 miles an hour, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do? What do you do?
Qualcomm Snapdragon SoCs generally support FM Radio and it used to be a standard feature with the headphone jack acting as an aerial.
When I'm on public transport I listen to the community radio stations such as PBS, RRR, ZZZ that support local artists and subcultures. How else does one stumble across gigs and local happenings?
Obviously Googlebots in California don't use the feature though, since they explicitly do not support the feature in their Nexus series - bastards! So it will be a turnaround if LG's next Nexus includes *digital* radio.

Bloody oath.
Just because it's shaped like a Sherrin doesn't make it good chocolate.

Tasmania is in drought. When the water runs low, so does the power.
(And yes, they had a cable to the mainland which has sadly been offline for several months)
RAM was bloody expensive at the time but Apple's Quadra 900, released in 1991, supported 256MB.
They haven't criminalised open wifi yet? :)

Well it's 3 months to the day since my neighbour received an expensive fitness tracker from his well meaning daughter for Christmas.
He grumbled something about having troubles pairing it with his digital devices and hasn't worn it yet.
A niche for the health conscious but hardly a guaranteed motivator for the inactive. Maybe I'll offer him $20 for it...
I always thought it was Gnome as in Gnocchi. :)
But in all seriousness it's not that hard.
Just don't aspirate the 'g'. i.e. think of pronouncing the word 'ignore' but without the initial vowel.
true, PowerVR is the main reason.

A rumour this week is that Apple were haggling over chip maker Imagination.
So it's more a case of MIPS replacing ARM.
You just invented compost.

CDMA and still resisting the metric system? What a strange country y'all live in. :)

thanks but I'll wait for the SE/30
I'm sure someone is registering the domain name UbuntuRedox.com as we speak! :)
You have friends or family who haven't migrated to other social media?
Sarcasm?
Cables declined because normal people don't run coax or twisted pair to every room in their house.
vodka flavoured coffee?
Not by coincidence. Iceweasel *was* just the ESR release rebranded for debian stable.
Anyhow, I use the past tense.

But the functional aspects seem handy.

Yes, I call bullshit on the IoT angle.
With all the hype on rPI 3, Qualcomm chooses *not* to compete in the hobbyist market (cheapest Inforce dev board is $126).

WD list a bunch of accessories.
