When Kepler "found" the giant exoplanets, what was the certainty associated with the findings? Was it 100%? .
I doubt if it was even close to 100%. So it should be expected that follow-up surveys would help to start sorting out the false positives. That's the way science works.
...that is most odorous. It is usually the minor provisions, tucked into the bill by special interests, that are the most damaging to people and most beneficial to corporations.
I want a fast, lean, standards compliant browser, which respects my privacy, and isn't trying to do 50 other things.
And you probably would have gotten that if Mozilla hadn't taken a detour.
.
Did you ever stop to think where Firefox would be nowadays if Mozilla had taken all the development effort wasted on Australis and other useless bloating enhancements, and focused that development effort on making Firefox a lean, mean, efficient browser?
We all know that the cost of networking equipment is rising and the performance of said equipment is dropping. So it is getting much more expensive to provide the same amount of data./sarcasm
...For what its worth I tend to install auxiliary low-RPM fans that blow directly on passively cooled motherboard chipsets...
I do the same thing. Sometimes it is not a case of needing more air flowing through the case, but more directed airflow within the case. I then just assure there's enough airflow through the case to keep the internal temperature where I want it.
...One thing I've noticed about homebuilt rigs is that they are occasionally louder than normal...
The last PC I built was substantially quieter than anything I could buy commercially. Indeed most of hte home-built quiet PCs now use they same tactics for quiet that I used 15 years ago.
.
At the time, the toughest component to get a quiet version for was the graphics card. Nearly all the ones I could find had one of those little whiny high-speed cooling fans on the card.
... consistent difficulty with posts that exceed the bounds of civil discourse...
The paper is doing what it accuses others of doing. The retroactive revealing of the authors of anonymous comments clears the bounds of civil discourse in street shoes.

imo, The Montana Standard is violating all manner of rules of Journalism if they go through with this most egregious stunt.
... What uses and functions does one giant screen serve that can't be cleverly redistributed to smaller screens?...
The size and mobility of the screen will continue to evolve towards use cases that are both needed and appropriate for the task involved, along with a continuing and increasing lockdown of the media streams so that a tithe can be extracted..

There, I saved you from having to waste time reading TFA as I did.

Oh great! Another mouthful of random letters....
I mean, really. That name looks like a random collection of letters. :)

I doubt if it was even close to 100%. So it should be expected that follow-up surveys would help to start sorting out the false positives. That's the way science works.
In other words, this is news?
...that is most odorous. It is usually the minor provisions, tucked into the bill by special interests, that are the most damaging to people and most beneficial to corporations.
That's news to me.
I want a fast, lean, standards compliant browser, which respects my privacy, and isn't trying to do 50 other things.

.
Did you ever stop to think where Firefox would be nowadays if Mozilla had taken all the development effort wasted on Australis and other useless bloating enhancements, and focused that development effort on making Firefox a lean, mean, efficient browser?
...focusing on making a really good browser is a great idea.
Yes, that is a really great idea. When do you think Mozilla will start doing that?
I don't see a lot of complaining about this latest move by Mozilla, Inc.
imo, it would be good news, if it does occur. I'd hate to see Mozilla mess up Thunderbird as they have messed up Firefox.
We all know that the cost of networking equipment is rising and the performance of said equipment is dropping. So it is getting much more expensive to provide the same amount of data. /sarcasm
...We do not yet know how to make truly secure systems...
While that could be debated from now until doomsday, I'll take a different approach...
.
We do know how to create systems that are very significantly more secure than the insecure garbage that is currently being sold.
The fact that many (most?) IoT companies don't even meet a minimum level of security is bordering on criminality, imo.
They may have had objections but were overruled by managment.
In my experience, that would be a correct assessment.
.
Are the developers of such devices really this incompetent?
Are they really so focused on jumping on the IoT revenue bandwagon that they give the actual security of their devices a passing glance, if that?
Some of these security lapses seem to border on criminality...
They will then be able to sue people and companies who use "their" emoji to describe products other than the trademarked one.
... linux for everyone right?
Nope. I am just very disappointed in Microsoft's recent behavior regarding data harvesting. Very Disappointed.

It makes sense that KDE would like systemd. They both are bloated and do far more than they need to.
Vaccuum tube radios were damaged by EMP
The radios, yes. But were the vacuum tubes themselves?
EMPs are the death of solid state devices. But, due to their nature, vacuum tubes can weather EMPs fairly easily.

Looks like there's a new browser compatibility test in town....
That motherboard might be nice if OpenBSD ran on it. :) It's almost worth looking into....
