All this does is provide emergency shade/shelter from rain. It completely fails to provide: 1) potable water containment, 2) grey/black water containment, 3) cooking facilities, 4) sanitary facilities, 5) perishable goods storage, 6) personal goods storage, 7) any form of even temporary privacy, 8) any form of air conditioning or even ventilation, 9) any form of power for receiving news , maintaining contact, or even doing useful work outside daylight hours.
This would scale less well than tents, for equivalent protection/amenities, and in no way be a long term housing solution for families waiting for an area to rebuild, as many of the FEMA trailers turned into.
Well, as the other posters pointed out, it is also about demand.
So, I'm certain that given the average demand for Slashdotter's emissions, the Earth probably has more than enough supply until the Sun expands into a red giant.
Plus, self-driving cars, in particular, will be using the time stamps from GPS, which is about as accurate as you can get outside of a lab these days, and far more accurate than anything the vehicle will need it for.
Now what time source my IoT toaster will use, to brown my bread for exactly 23.5439263 seconds, starting at precisely 13minutes and 4.5098 seconds after local dawn... THAT I am concerned about!
a service to have charging trucks come out to you to you should you run out of charge (maybe even heading to the point where you would run out of charge before it even happens so that there's no wait)
Hmm... I wonder if there is money to be made with some sort of "in air refueling" type scheme. huge truck consisting mainly of batteries or charged super caps pulls up behind a Model S, extends a rigid charging plug (appropriately penis shaped), and inserts it into a port mounted in the center of the rear trunk. Rapid charge exchange, credit account is debited, and the truck pulls away to go to the next customer. All performed at highway speeds...
So, if they aren't passing the information on to a third party, just WTF are they doing with it?
I'm sorry, but what are they planning to do if their analysis suggests little Timmy is a bit depressed? Is a random post on his timeline from some stranger asking if he needs a hug really going to change anything for him? Or is FB just going to increase the rate of advertising and only show him ads for the Suicide Prevention Hotline?
/I'd bet his local gun shop would pay better for that ad space.
Hey, having an ornamental monarchy is actually a pretty cool thing. It's not like they are a huge cost on the budget, and they more than make up for it in the tourism they generate.
Be very careful getting rid of them, because once they are gone, re-establishing them is incredibly difficult.

I think moving to killer bots would be a great idea.
The only reason the US government can maintain its pro-war stance is the idolization of the military, both men and machines, and the romanticization of war. It's very hard to make machines killing machines romantic or heroic. Event Battle Bots had to make the show as much about the builders/drivers as the competition.
Take away the romance and "heros" and all you've got left is pure patriotism and bigoted hatred. Those can take you a long way, but eventually people start noticing the cost, that today is justified with "we must keep our brave boys and girls properly supplied".
It tells you something about the skill of their design teams that AMD was able to be competitive for so long in spite of being 1-2 process generations behind Intel.
Of course! They had to wait for the next generation of Intel chip to use them to design the next generation of AMD.
If so, then yes. Selling advertising is the ONLY remaining legitimate use for what passes as journalism in today's media.
Sex, Violence, and Religion sell, to the most titillating, gory, or enraging/enrapturing limit society will accept at the time. So, in the interest of ad impressions and eyeballs, whatever you can broadcast that generates publicity and traffic is the definition of the journalists doing their job.
Don't like it? Then get us a better society, or a better species.
No, this is them annoying some of their customers (people who want to fly illegally in the DC no-fly zone) in an attempt to preempt knee-jerk over compensating by federal authorities. The feds would rather just ban the devices entirely, period.
The Feds will do so anyways, so I don't see why the manufacturer is even bothering.
Because finding out the dude was high when he forgot to check the safety harness on Space Mountain after someone flies out and dies makes it all better. Suuurrre, he's the one they are going to sue for millions of dollars over negligence and Disney has no right, reason, or interest in ensuring the safety of their customers..
Look, ganjadude, it's FINE that you want to toast your brain. Rock on, dude. Just don't do it at a time or place where your impaired state is likely to affect me in any way whatsoever. In exchange I promise not get wasted on single malt and drive around in your neighborhood.
I had an original Galaxy S. It was so bad, I swore I would never buy another piece of Samsung electronics again.
Well, this time around, the only phone AT&T offered that met what I wanted was the Note 4, so I took a chance, with a heavy heart and much misgiving. I have to say, almost 4 months in, and I love this phone. Most of the stock apps are good enough that I'm using them rather than taking the chance on play store garbage. (Very unusual for me, I usually end up modding the hell out of my android phones) The Gear VR came in for Xmas,and is a great toy. I put in a 128Gb SD card and I have way more room than I need, even with a half dozen 3D full length movies on board. There is no lag or slow down on any of the games I have downloaded, and the screen is beautiful. WiFi and Bluetooth so far work flawlessly and fast. So far, all of the things that have frustrated me have turned out to be KitKat issues, not anything that Samsung has done.
It's large, but I never wish it was any smaller, only that my hands were a bit bigger. It's still small enough to be pocketable, even inside an otterbox, and I never hold it up to my ear when I'm actually on a call (less than 5% of the time I'm using it anyway). With bluetooth in the car, as a headset, and speakerphone on my desk, I rarely have to take it out of my pocket or the car/desk holder to talk.
It is good enough, that it just may entice me into getting Samsung when I get my 70" UHD TV later this year.

So... Tax forms really are inevitable?
Idiot.
I'll just leave this here: Ring Species

If you are not running AdBlock and NoScript don't visit Slashdot until that crap is gone.
If you're not running AdBlock and NoScript, you should just kill yourself now.

No previous Windows has ever done anything so mindlessly wrong.
That is just factually incorrect. The list of mindlessly wrong things previous versions of Windows have done is worthy of it's own miniseries.

I couldn't even guess how many flops it takes to play soccer, or write a script for a Hollywood movie...

'Cause stealing someone else's cell phone and using it would be totally Inconceivable!
/ I don't think that word means what you think it means.
We've always been at war with Oceana.
So, I'm confused...
You're saying the Ruble and Hryvnia, because they have fluctuated wildly like bitcoin have been known to do, are not real currencies?
Or are you saying that because real currencies can also fluctuate wildly, bitcoin is a real currency?
Are they showing ads on the page?
If so, then yes. Selling advertising is the ONLY remaining legitimate use for what passes as journalism in today's media.

Well, obviously. I mean since they instituted no gun zones around schools, there haven't been any school shootings... Right? Right?
