This problem is as old as manufacturing. Do we really not know or fail to remember that this is how the entire Japanese electronics and automotive industries were spawned? This is how the electronic industry of Korea came about, and one third of the entire Soviet Union's compute capacity from 1950 to 1990. Not to mention the entire DECSYSTEM-20 compatibles market and all the AMD, Cyrix, IBM, NexGen, WinChip, RISE, etc. x86-compatibles market.
I'm sure someone has already or will soon point out how this is newsworthy.
Windows 8.x is pretty good only as long as you have a touchscreen.
What is really atrociously stupid is Microsoft's idea of putting the Metro interface onto Windows 2012 Server. It is just breathtakingly stupid to put an animated, graphical user interface onto a system that is almost always accessed via Remote Desktop Connection.
I just took an SD Card to try to manipulate some images. Without an internet connection, Chrome OS was completely unable to do anything with these pictures--it could not even preview nor display them.
I like the ChromeBook, and I own a few of them, but without an internet connection available, ChromeBooks are a pathetic joke.
For real productivity they make great Remote Desktop clients. I only wish Amazon WorkSpaces would release a proper client for ChromeBooks.
After having to replace laptops with stuck pixels far too many times, I like the idea of Sager/Clevo laptops. They guarantee no stuck pixels on delivery and for a few extra dollars they will guarantee no stuck pixels for a period of time. That's pretty important when you're spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on something you have to look at for most of the day, every day.
Or you could start using Mozilla NSS (mod_nss). Not only independently written, it also aggressively protects private keys unlike any version of OpenSSL/SSLeay does.
About three thousand like-minded individuals are wondering why this article was conceived and assigned to someone to write for ANY reason and why whatever that publication happened to be, why did they feel the need to publish this drivel?
The CANDU reactor program got it right decades ago and keeps getting better, but since it's not from the US, and has the false reputation of promoting nuclear proliferation, the US is not interested.
CANDU also, unfortunately, has a politically-fueled false perception of promoting nuclear proliferation partly because it was falsely accused to have aided the Smiling Buddha program (that was CIRUS, not CANDU, but who's paying attention?).
Oh, there is that unavoidable 1% tritium release rate, though.
Did the OP even read the article? Even TFA refers to the flood as consisting of coal ash slurry.
There is no such thing as "coal sludge," but there is "coal slurry" which is something entirely different from coal ash slurry that allows transport of coal through pipelines in a very expensive process.
Yeah, I agree, but many folks' computers with checkbook software are also used for lots of other uses, including games. My opinion of SELinux still applies.
Simply put, gaming and the security model enforced by SELinux, just don't mix. The whole idea of SELinux is to provide fine-grained control to system resources. You can't have that and expect acceptable gaming performance. The specialized way that Miles' uses memory is just one example. The modern "direct" graphics drives are another.
How to solve this? Simple. Don't play games on your security assets. The security provided by SELinux isn't really intended to protect your checkbook from buffer overflow attacks.
William Mulholland didn't take action when the St. Francis Dam performed similarly, and after his inspection, killed up to 600 people twelve hours after his inspection.
Unfortunately, USB requires much CPU power. Some folks believe Intel pushed USB so hard specifically because it required higher-powered CPUs to run effectively, unlike the competing FireWire which is DMA.

Ahem. It's Forrest Mims III to you.
Is there ever going to be an OS 11? OS XI?
No? Why not?

Awesome. I can't wait to start to reconsider considering HP laptops for consideration.
Why didn't they just buy ViaSat, their space and ground segments, and their Exede brand? Charlie Ergen isn't going to sell HughesNet anytime soon.
It must be nice for your stock to be so excessively overvalued to have so much money to throw around on all these ancillary projects.

I recently shopped for laptops for home and for the office and I specifically excluded HP because of that ridiculous Beats Audio logo.
Not only is the logo tacky and unprofessional, it demonstrates that part of my purchase price was taken for something of no value whatsoever.
I'm waiting for Bruce Schneier's final take on this.
Right now he is throwing up his hands and saying "WTF?"

And now I try to imagine all the brainpower wasted on getting a handle on how git sees things rather than using the best tool for the job at hand.

All this episode does is to remind us that security is hard. Encryption is even harder.

ACARS may have been turned off, but the radio interface used by the ACARS system was still pinging.
The article does not make it clear that the satellite signals in question are those of ARINC's ACARS data system, developed in 1978.

This is cool but let's not delay commuter rail and subway construction.

Thanks for your thoughts.
I would have recommended the excellent Lindows/Linspire, then gOS, but, oops, they've been forced out of existence.
After that I gave up.

But Mulholland did not draw down the water behind the St. Francis despite so many warnings of impending failure, and 600 people died as a result.
