This is just a basic Silverado 1500 Crew Cab with a stupid paint job and a bunch of crap thrown in that and "prepper" already has. For Chevy's sake I hope this stays a "concept car" because the "concept" sucks and if this is a serious direction, Chevy is in serious trouble.
Gnome and KDE went through similar histories. The maintainers (for some unkown reason) decided they had to radically change their product - just as Ubuntu decided to introduce a totally new gui a few years ago. The verdict with Gnome is almost universal - the new Gnome (Gnome 3, which you have with Centos 6, unfortunately) stinks and isn't getting any better. Nevertheless, those who offer Gnome - e.g., Redhat, SUSE, others - offer only the latest version. Redhat has made it the default. Their motto is "just get used to it". But there is one hugely positive development: Mint decided to fork the old Gnome, Gnome 2. Mint offers 2 versions of Gnome 2: the Cinamon gui and the Mate gui (pronounced matey, a type of tea). I have no experience with Cinamon but love Mate. I am using it on my main computer. I noticed recently that Fedora also offers a Mate variant. My guess is that eventually most of the distros will; they will offer their main gui, whatever it is, plus Mate, XFCE, LXDE, etc. I am guessing that Gnome 3 will eventually go away.
KDE4 is like Gnome 3 but actually improved as it developed. One of its peculiarities is that it offers 5 (I think) different ways of laying out and using the desktop. One of them - called Folder View - makes it quite similar to the discontinued KDE3. I have instances of folder view KDE4 in my PCLinuxOS and Mepis setups, and like it. Be aware, however, that KDE3, like Gnome 2, has been forked. If you go to the Trinity Linux website you will find that there are people who have rejiggered Debian, Ubuntu, and PCLOS with the KDE3 gui. In fact, one of my partitions is running Debian Wheezy with KDE3. One of the best things about KDE4 is the Dolphin file manager which I have imported into all of my non-KDE setups. It is far, far superior to every other file manager, including the old Konqueror, which Trinity KDE3 still has.
A meaningless comment. In fact, pretty much a troll.
PopSci brings up a lot of good points, and they have made a decision that I think more and more on-line pubs will make. You are free to send them a Letter to the Editor, but these ugly snipe-fests that go on in many forums have little if any value.
The comments at the Seattle Times are a great example, having been taken over by extremists who apparently have no voice anywhere else.
The fact is that in most forums that don't have a "moderation system" become flooded with trolls that render the whole forum concept useless for any real conversation.
PopSci isn't the first to ditch forums, and will not be the last.
If not directly, they will try it indirectly like associating Tesla with political movements that make them sound socialist or otherwise un-american...
Didn't Al Gore invent the electric car? Isn't that all you need to know?
But seriously, this is clearly "sour grapes". Can there really be any reasonable reason why a consumer products company should not sell their product to anyone who wants to buy it?
The cops will have copies of all 10 fingers, and will be able to add this technique to their fourth and fifth amendment circumvention strategies.
And given the secret associations that the NSA has with Apple, Microsoft, and all the telcos, they will now have fingerprints from all the iPhone users who use this device...
You say this as desktops outside the corporate environment are dieing...
Desktops outside corporate are *not* dieing, PC sales are *slowing down* because people are not replacing the ones that *work*, opting to buy toys like tablets.
That's the only "real" one found, and it was in the possession of someone who routinely has them and had it on him at the time by mistake.
That's the only one reported in THIS story. Also, the fact that the guy "routinely has them and had it on him" and made a "mistake" should scare you even more, not make you feel safer.
Or they are simply trying to give such an appearance to try to salvage the loss of business the NSA scandal is creating for such online services.
The problem with your idea is that in fact there has been no loss in business for Google over their cooperation with the NSA, and indeed the average American doesn't really care.
I know it's popular to spout the anti-big-business line when you are in college, but as you grow older and wiser, you will find that your over-simplistic idealism doesn't mesh with reality.
They are people with "the right stuff". While the Apollo astronauts knew the plan was to come back, they must have been ready to face a one way trip, as the probability of that was, or must a least have seemed high.
The difference being that this trip IS a "one way" trip.
Anyone who uses a 'best interests of the children' argument should be immediately shipped to an island populated entirely by other people just like them.
I say ship them to an island with other people's children.
Second: Humans; perfect, young, humans, can hear up to about 20k Hz. Humans can't hear anything above 20k (although dogs can!) so there is no need to reproduce it.
You're missing my point.
Of course humans can't hear it.
BUT do sound feqs we can't here effect those that we can?
Sample rate: a higher sample rate allows for higher frequency representation. As in, if you have a sample rate of 48,000Hz, you can play back a frequency of 24,000Hz (already above the range of human perception). Higher sample rate = more high frequencies you can't hear.
First, I know *nothing* about audio.
So a question: Sure, there are frequencies humans can not hear. However, in to context of "playback", do those frequecies effect how we hear what frequencies we do hear, eaither due to the audio equiptment (speakers) or interaction with other frequencies?

With a 2 million Slashdot ID, I think it is probable that you were not even born "in the earlier days of the internet". Just sayin...

Seriously. I can't think of a better system for comment handling. Just move the sliders aaaaaaall the way to the right and never see another troll!
Sliders? I'm viewing this in Lynx.
All the better to just push an opinion.

or did NSA tell RSA to slip in a backdoor back in 2006
It's not so much the possibility that the NSA influenced RSA, rather they influenced the standard itself.
Here's the whole story according to Bruce Schneier:

There is a difference.

Oh first world problems.
Yes, many of the stuff discussed here don't have much to do with feeding and housing poor people.

a majority of the confiscated grenades are fake, replicas or otherwise inert.
Except the ones that are not fakes...
Officers at Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) discovered a live 40mm high explosive grenade in a carry-on bag in 2012.
You do realize that current meters measure water speed, not pH. Right?
"Cuyrrent meter" is a generalized term. These meters - if you had taken the time to look you would know this - measure many parameters INCLUDING PH.
You do realize that current meters measure water speed, not pH. Right?
You do realize that the instrumentation is independent of the package, right?
These people have been doing this sort of thing for years.

I engineered a fake test based on my persona bias, and the outcome was as predicted. Now, maybe RMS will let me suck his big hairy cock.

Gold is a safe haven not an investment.
Those like myself that invested in significant amounts of gold ( > 50,000 US ) disagree.

The tl;dr is 'No'.
Meaningless. Why waste you time by saying nothing?
