No, this requires government interference with the free market (legislation against Tesla's business model). In a free market, Tesla could... *cough* MAR-KET freely to whomever.
But, don't you see? This shows that cancer is just part of a simulation. Now, we just need to figure out a way to break out of the simulation (like Neo) and... will the cancer to be gone... or something.
(I'm rolling my eyes as I type this. This whole simulation premise is just a modern rehash of ancient philosophical machination.)
He's not talking about the politicians, he's talking about the journalists themselves (who only skew public opinion, rather than shaping public policy.)
Yes. Also, according to the US gov't, we don't even place in the top 15. I dislike inaccuracy, and your post was inaccurate -- especially in stating that we (the US) produce more oil than any other country.
Obviously, the do-it-yourself method won't work for everyone (especially for defeatists). My point was that, if you have the means to be the keeper of your own data and you're concerned about security, then don't place your data in someone else's hands. But, when making a statement like this, there will inevitably be those who seek scenarios for which it wouldn't work and, in doing so, conclude that it won't work at all.
But, to answer your question, you could periodically back your data up on an external hard drive and keep it in a safe deposit box at the bank (or at your workplace, or at your mom's house, or in a ziploc bag with some silica gel buried five feet deep in the Arizona desert). This isn't as convenient as an automatic script, but this goes back to point #1 of my first post about security and convenience.
External hard drive -- to keep at your [mom/brother/girlfriend]'s house. Connect it to his or her computer, poke a hole in their firewall, and run rsync (use cygwin if it's a Windows computer). Like I said, do it yourself. Once it's set up, it's done.
We'll see. I've been running the FlashBlock plugin for years (to manually enable flash elements) with VERY FEW adverse effects. I doubt having to manually activate Java elements will be any worse.
Yay, yet another notebook with a resolution lower than a... *blink* EFFING GALAXY S4 CELLPHONE! My first PC was a 386 back in 1991. It had a Viewsonic graphics card and 14" CRT with 1024x768. 22 years ago. Same vertical rez. Dammit, guys.
That shit matters in the long term for interoperability...
Why?
That security part in particular should have your attention if you've been paying attention to the Snowden releases.
Yep, good point. That's why I use Nouveau at home. But again, remember, this is a gaming device -- and a beta release one at that. They're after benchmarks, and their primary objective is to legitimize the Steam Box as a viable gaming device to the gamers -- people who have a particular interest in performance, not long term open source altruism.
Their objective is to maximize and/or evaluate possibly maximal performance -- not make people feel good about the work they're doing for the open source/Linux community. Calm down.
What the hell are you talking about. Contrary to the Verizon commercials, people aren't watching movies on their phones in subways or coffee shops. They're scarcely watching them in theaters either. Where, then, are they watching them? In... *cough* the.. ah... LIVING ROOM. Yeah, and people still game there too.
First, you update the Maps app to combine Navigation, and it TOTALLY SUCKS (thank goodness for my Titanium Backup of the older version.) Next, the abomination that is the new Nexus 7. And now, this. How about a little QA, guys?!
While you're at it, please fix the GVoice texting functionality. Receiving texts the day after they were sent is a little pathetic.
You're still the best thing going, but don't be complacent.
I'm not getting over anything. Middle-click paste is nice, because it's uniform across applications. CTRL-C / CTRL-V does not (try doing this in a terminal window, where CTRL-C means something else entirely. Now, you have to hold SHIFT as well.) It doesn't hurt anything to keep it, and there's no real reason to get rid of it, so... people, get over it!
As Scotty told Geordi, "Don't ever let them promote you. Engineering is where it's at, baby." Or, something like that. I'm an embedded systems engineer with 10 years in the field, and I have absolutely no desire to ever move "up" into management. Sure, I've been the lead on projects, but I always want to have a hand in the development.
Slashdot Mirror
Exactly correct. They're hindered by Texas franchise law.

Yeah, nice try. This is not news for nerds, or even stuff that matters. This does not belong on Slashdot, because this is not Breitbart.com.
Razzmatazz -- now that's a word not used often enough anymore. I shall add it to my common vocabulary forthwith.
Tell that to hemophiliacs and menstruating women.
(On second thought, maybe you'd better not mention it to the women)

You don't have to be any kind of zealot to dislike Apple. iTunes makes it quite easy.
YDRC. Prototypes were developed in the late 70's, and they were commercially available in 1982.

He's not talking about weight watchers.

Ohh. Wait, nevermind.

Two adages apply here.
1. Security is inversely proportional to convenience.
2. If you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself.
So, lesson learned: Be your own cloud.

No. McCain lost.

Here's a nice summary, though you could have Googled it yourself (that still works).
Basically, to put it somewhat humorously, this tablet keeps touching itself.

Those who can't do, manage.
