Simpler than that. Identify a fissure in the ice covering. Collect samples from the ice and look for biological material that might have been squeezed out at the time it opened.
... will an iWatch last? I don't mean physically break down. I mean become functionally obsolete. How often will one have to 'trade up' to get the latest features or even compatibility with current apps?
I have a couple of analog watches that are ~25 years old. My dad has an Omega that is over 60 years old.
Part of the attraction of a fine mechanical watch is its heirloom value. It will still be a fine watch when you hand it down to your kid. Apple watches won't outlast their 'end of support' dates. That's going to limit how much people are willing to pay for them.
You think that Playboy would have been well received in the Holy Roman Empire during the 1450s?
Ever seen the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel? This obsession with nudes is a modern phenomenon. The Roman Catholic Church was far more concerned with different bible versions (and other theological publications) undermining their authority. Which they did. And it didn't get the printing press banned.
'We only read it for the articles' was far more frightening to them.
Its the lower receiver that requires a serial number and registration to be bought and sold. So the home CNC machine just ensures you can recreate this part when the gov't comes around to confiscate your guns. When they do, the only part you must surrender is the lower receiver. Everything else you are free to buy, sell, or trade with no restrictions or reporting. So when the confiscations begin, all the barrels will disappear. And when the cops leave with the one registered part, you just make a new one.
But my init-based laptop does all that just fine. And I don't have any problems adding new hardware to it. It handles switching between different power states just fine, including battery, line, sleep mode and ejecting from its docking station.
As far as I can see, systemd still needs to know interdependences between various system daemons. So if someone is too dense to figure out how to order the init S* and K* scripts, they'll just screw a config file up as well.
Probably some sort of jamming system. But I'm surprised they chose to test this in Washington DC instead of out at some remote military base. What happens if their EMP weapon accidently wipes the e-mail servers at the State Department?
Him: Look down at the keyboard, in the bottom left corner. Do you see the C...T...R...L?
Me: Yes.

First of all, if the minmum wage rises to $30 for drop out burger flippers, a burger flipping robot isn't far off. Some people are only worth $10/hour and if you eliminate the $10/hour jobs, they go back to living under the freeway off-ramp and breaking into your house.
Sure, we could lock them all up in jail. But that's just welfare for criminals;
Not if that means chaining them together and walking them down the shoulder of the freeway, picking up trash. If the result of criminal behaviour doesn't buy you a nice, comfy cell with a TV set and XBox, some people might figure its better off picking their own employment than having the state hand them a sledge hammer and a pile of rocks.

Unbelievably it comes after a week where Canadian politicians started flinging the H word at each other.
Please people?! Why can't we have peace for our time?
No sweat. We'll just fix it in software.
I've seen the movie.
He's making money
Is he? TFS says he is posting the results of a hobby. YouTube is adding the adverts (and making the money for its parent company).
Hanes needs to contact the FAA and have them send the cease and desist letter to Google corporate.
Now all we need to do is drill a hole
Simpler than that. Identify a fissure in the ice covering. Collect samples from the ice and look for biological material that might have been squeezed out at the time it opened.
Why would he be arrested?
Held as a material witness into who leaked all that stuff to Wikileaks.
Same cell. Different colored jumpsuit.
Want to snort a line of Scotch?

instead of starting with the Gutenberg Bible, you decided to start with Playboy.
Many of us believe the world would be a better place had they started with Playboy and never printed that damned bible.
Let them have so many that citizens are scared of *not* owning a gun and demand their freedom.
Doesn't work that way. Citizens will expect an ever stronger police presence. The side effect of which is an eventual totalitarian state.
Why audio? Can't the Nest just real lips?

So, again, what problems does systemd solve?
The problem is that his solutions to existing problems aren't perfect
Exactly what problems were being solved with systemd?
I agree. Store it on film.
Probably some sort of jamming system. But I'm surprised they chose to test this in Washington DC instead of out at some remote military base. What happens if their EMP weapon accidently wipes the e-mail servers at the State Department?
Meanwhile, bullets have been fired, and you're dead
Dead? Come on folks. Its a bunch of ones and zeros.
You can close up the firewall, pull your plug out of the Internet and recover from backup. But nobody actually dies.

That site is trying to con me into installing Flash. What kind of low down, dirty scam is that?
