If I'm really that worried about people at a company potentially seeing pictures of my kids I'll set up my own server at home with an SSL connection and stream from that.
I really don't get the start menu love. The search feature is actually very quick and accurate once you start using it. Perhaps I'm not like other people, but when I go to run a program I already know what I want to run so it's easier to just start typing the name of the program than it is to navigate some legendary list of programs.
even if we were to go 100% solar tomorrow, we wouldn't have enough energy for this world. Period. The idea that we can simply just go all solar is naive to the max. We would actually be better off going 100% nuclear.
That's a fair statement. Perhaps I should have said something closer to "this is a direct result of the abuse of capitalism". My point being capitalism by nature encourages greed. Why? Because the primary motivator of the system is not the welfare of people, it's the welfare of the company and the people who own it.
You can call it whatever you want, but the reality is money flows uphill a lot faster than it flows downhill. The end result is that eventually there will be very little money at all flowing downhill. Whatever you'd like to believe, this problem is a direct result of capitalism.
One could argue that there is less capitalism now (as you've pointed out) but you need to ask why there is less capitalism. There's less of it because companies are now starting to consume each other at an increased rate. Why compete with a bunch of other companies when you can absorb them? This is the natural progression capitalism follows. Consume everything until you're the last one standing. Despite how good it was when it started, it has no choice but to end by killing that which put it on top in the first place because there is no real restraint. The safeguards that are in place are weak and ineffective and don't protect anyone except the companies the safeguards are meant to regulate.
Now that everyone has a smartphone in their pocket there doesn't seem to be a lot of need for something like this. Why would I buy another device to carry around when I already have a perfectly capable computer in my pocket?
There's a battery breakthrough every other week but they never seem to make it in to anything. There are so many parallels between science reporting on batteries and science reporting on cancer in terms of over-hype and fact misrepresentation it's astonishing.
Simple. They made shit and kids didn't want to watch it. They butchered shows so badly and made so many rules that it was impossible to make anything other than shit.
Absolutely nothing's wrong with that. Except in some cases an old car can incur huge expenses - particularly in areas that have air quality inspections.
...from having your car repoed? Don't incur the debt if you can't afford the payments. Or talk to your lender if you need a few days extension. The real issue here is that too many people ignore the payment request instead of using communication to come to an equitable agreement.
Science doesn't explain things, it's just a framework to help with discovering the validity or invalidity of an idea. If you can't find a way to test something, you can't really apply science to it.
Many religious people depart from science the moment it begins to conflict with their own insane views of how the world (and the universe) works. Some religious people feel that there is no contradiction between science and religion, and rationalize it as science discovering God's rules. Honestly I don't have a problem with this, since we don't really know who (if anyone) made the rules.
Atheists tend to like science because it's grounded in fact, and isn't bound to blind faith which I find is also reasonable. Religion has never really proven itself to be anything other than a source of control over people's lives and its value is at best, questionable.

Because there's one on every block! 7-11 has real competition now!

Why would I want the US to have ANYTHING to do with managing the solar system? They can't even properly manage their own pocket of earth.
open source is hardly "the frontier" anymore. It's pretty well established.

What an arrogant start to a summary. People who need to go out of their way to seem smarter usually aren't.
Watching under the dome wouldn't be a reward, it would be a punishment.
So you think the way to get people to drive EVs is to take more money away from them so it's harder to buy an electric vehicle?
Are you stupid?
That's not news, that's just par for the course.

>but will be placed on display in the Boeing Milestones of Flight Hall in 2016
No. Fuck this. It's not a milestone of flight, and it doesn't belong there in the least.
>Simple math. $5 of gas, split 2 ways, is $3 each. /facepalm
That's just about the dumbest thing I've heard anyone say this year.
