It's just not interesting anymore; whoever can spend the most money will have the fastest system simply because they can buy the most blades.
I was more excited back when System X was built (aka "Big Mac"). It was able to make #3 on the list for less than $6,000,000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Just a few days ago I was watching an old documentary which stated that the impetus for Charles Babbage creating the Difference Engine was his frustration with dealing with inaccurate mathmatical tables. I was skeptical of this claim, but at least Wikipedia backs it up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
I can remember TI-82 and 83 I was required to use back in 1995-1997 costing about $120. It's crazy that a TI-83 still cost almost as much new: https://www.officedepot.com/a/...
"The tweets came after a separate report in the Financial Times that Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund had taken a 3%-5% stake in Tesla, a holding worth at least $1.9bn."
I am sick of the trolls that are trying to destroy Tesla.
Unfortunately, here on Slashdot, a troll is defined as anyone who points out that they are burning through cash faster than they can earn it. Yes, they've hit their production goals with the Model 3, and that takes investment...but time will tell if that investment pays off. They may not have enough time with their current burn rate. https://money.cnn.com/2018/08/...
Look, many of us like electric cars and most everyone will probably end up driving them in the very near future, but odds are Tesla may not be around that long. I'm wondering if part of taking this private is so that their quarterly balances won't be so public.
That's a good point, but if I leave my phone on the charger overnight I usually don't need to recharge for at least another 24 hours. Maybe I'm the exception.
I'm not sure how necessary this is going to be with more vendors jumping on board with wireless charging (Qi being a big winner).
Of course that doesn't tackle the situation where the Qi chargers themselves may need different cables (but I have yet to see one that isn't micro-USB).
Fun fact: The suits used during the Apollo program were made by ILC Dover, which was a branch of the International Latex Corporation.....which was originally famous for making Playtex bras and girdles.
Does this mean that it was "one small step for (trans) man"?;-)
Thanks, I didn't get that far into the article (TL;DR). It is an interesting question, was an ATM or debit card ever used at any point? If not, I'd have to side with "computer fraud".
Maybe, maybe not. It depends on what the contract requirements are.....system update frequency, external security audits, etc. I doubt we're going to be able to find the text of said contract until it goes on record at trial.
Now the financial institution is suing its insurance provider for refusing to fully cover the losses.
Hack me once, shame on you, hack me twice, shame on me?
Seriously, 8 months passed between the phishing incidents. That's plenty enough time to do a security audit and train your staff, and the insurance company knows that.
I was in the second grade when AT&T was split into the Baby Bells, so I was never able to compare then-to-now. In conversations with my Dad and Grandfather, I was quite surprised to hear them talk about how it was much better when AT&T was still a single company, and their rates were actually lower. After researching it a little, it seems that the ones who benefitted the most from divesture were corporations, who spent way more money on long distance calls than the standard consumer.
I don't know if any of this is true, but I'm pretty sure that divesture isn't what killed the AT&T monopoly; it was the cell phone that did it.
The Mac Pro design is stupid and needs to be fixed ASAP
This, 1000 times over. I still have the 5,1 revision of the tower. I just added an AMD/ATI RX 580 so that I could run Mojave; by doing so, I have a machine that is almost 6 years old but faster than the latest iteration of the current Mac Pro. (12-logical cores, 8GB vid card, 32 GB of RAM, SSD).

What's the alternative, spouting a bunch of bullshit nonsense about leading a revolution
Seems to be working for Elon Musk ;-)
But in cases where a hacker has a foothold on a system -- via either malware or by brute-forcing an account with a weak password
If that's the case, I don't think the hacker needs to worry much about mucking around in the Registry to get administrative access.
Isn't this the same Bloomberg that hasn't shown any evidence that SuperMicro boards were hacked?

Why wouldn't parents prefer a healthy, attractive, intelligent, athletic child over one lacking those attributes?
I remember seeing a documentary about this ;-)

Japan. Just do a Google search for "Japanese Tentacles" and see what results you get.
Be afraid of what you may find though...
yet the public services never gave a shit.
The summary stated that he was living on disability, which I'm assuming is funded from Social Security.
With all the mud being slung at anyone who questions Tesla on Slashdot, you'd think that 9 out of 10 posters were shorts.

database not via the SQL commands that it supported, but by directly accessing the DLLs
I used to see this quite a bit with applications written in VB5 that used an Access backend. Being a DBA, I found it absolutely disgusting.

TFA is about things that go poof.
Like all of my physical books did in the flood two years ago? I just checked and all of my e-books are still there.
It was also just announced that the Saudi's purchased a pretty big slice of Tesla:

"The tweets came after a separate report in the Financial Times that Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund had taken a 3%-5% stake in Tesla, a holding worth at least $1.9bn."
I've already been modded down. I rest my case.

Will this result in a headache?
Nah, my wife got those long before she put her wireless charger on the night stand.
