If it's not yet, it will be soon. At the moment the SHA-256 algorithm is being run in the neighborhood of 15,000,000,000,000,000 times per second by miners.
So...several orders of magnitude less than (eg.) the Windows task scheduler?
Yes bloat always begins by using something already installed and in memory instead of creating a separate pile of shit that has to be loaded. They're soooo stupid... wait...
Yep. Chrome is already installed and running on every machine in the world.
You are right (they are particularly bad at muffling baby cries to any degree, it seems), but they don't need to be perfect. Especially so if there is a decent selection of stuff to listen to on the armrest jack. Just good enough to keep sanity above zero is what is needed.
What if we don't want to pound our ears into submission because of the constant background yammering?
What exactly is wrong with just having peace and quiet?
So most GPS systems are illegal, as most are not "installed", and a dash-mounted tablet used exclusively for GPS is illegal, as it doesn't have an interlock device.
It doesn't sound like it's separating the hydrogen and oxygen atoms, more extracting dissolved oxygen. Fish do this, so it's within the realms of possibility.
It isn't actually doing anything. It doesn't exist.
(and something that size is never going to be able to extract enough air for a human...)
If you have to be "polite" because you fear someone shoots you because you may sound "disrespectfull/unfriendly/annoying" the "politeness" is completely hollow and is in fact fear.
Either that, or.... you could read the entire book and not just repeat a one line quotation taken out of context.
Also, how THE FUCK can you reference Heinlein's "polite society" quote in this case?
Maybe because I've actually read that book and don't have it all ass-backwards like you.
Of course it isn't "polite" to shoot people. The point is that the overall politeness of society goes up every time you shoot somebody who acts like an asshole in public and attacks anybody who dares to tell them to stop.
Well I will clue you in, having nachos or a cold soda thrown at you are also not valid reasons to kill someone. Valid reasons to call the cops and press assault charges maybe, but not valid reasons to shoot someone.
That depends. What happens if the other person is a lot bigger and stronger than you and looks like they're about to open a great big can of whup-ass when they run out of popcorn?
Next time you step on someones shoes or accidentally elbow them when walking past would they be justified in shooting you, because you certainly cause more harm then being hit with a piece of popped corn would.
Wrong, because I'd apologize for doing it and try to make amends, not act like a self entitled asshole who thinks they own the sidewalk.
In the context of Heinlein's book, if somebody acts like that then yes, they get shot. And good riddance.

they have had a couple years to work on this, why are they dragging their nuts
Because the first 18 months will have been spent picking out nice furniture for the new offices.
Yep. I see no mention anywhere of "penalties" or "personal liability".
I bet those people who are busy pocketing money wouldn't be so eager to sign government contracts if they put words like those in them.
Money.

Not.
I MUCH prefer that cell phone usage remain banned (data usage okay, but no cell usage).
Skype?
Incessant "whatsapp" beeps...? How many of those beeps could you listen to on a 12 hour flight without beating somebody to death?

Notice how they never build medical devices or something to help poor people in Africa. It's always something military? Yeah, that...
I'm sure the same thing was said about tulip bulbs...
So most GPS systems are illegal, as most are not "installed", and a dash-mounted tablet used exclusively for GPS is illegal, as it doesn't have an interlock device.
Right. So stop using them.
The cost of the support agreements, would still be less than the replacement of several thousand ATMs and internal systems.
Is that short-term or long-term costs?
Yep.
Why on earth would anybody need a "Starbucks App". With sensitive information in it, and a password.
What information is there to hack? If it's anything more than where the nearest store is and you coffee preference then you're DOING IT WRONG.

(and something that size is never going to be able to extract enough air for a human...)
While I don't know if the device exists,
No video? No photo...? It doesn't exist.
(And there's no way a device that size could filter enough oxygen to supply a human...)
And with some of the worst use of fonts....
And now you've said something even dumber;
But still not as dumb as telling me I think it's polite to shoot people.
The real solution is to stop spending trillions of dollars on war and invest it in energy research instead.
Once the new generation of Thorium Reactors (or whatever) is in place then nobody will give a damn about what sort of light bulb you use.
Plus it will fix the economy by lowering the production cost of everything and creating new jobs. We also get to fix the planet, too.
But nooooo....
An armed society is a FEARFULL society. FTFY

Here's how I read it:
Luckily for us there were eye witnesses sitting two seats away, we don't have to rely on armchair analysts like yourself.
The article doesn't say the victim threw anything, so kudos on reading comprehension.
That's because it's a crappy article (following the great Slahdot tradition of posting the worst possible link...)

An armed society is a polite society. Sometimes an example has to be made.
I don't want to live in your world if shooting someone for a non-threatening situation is called "polite".
No, you've got it all ass-backwards. In my* world you only shoot people when they're impolite and unapologetic about it.

every time I want to use this third interface, I have to bend forward over my desk, raise my arm and make a smudge on my screen.
I guess you missed the whole "leapmotion" part of my post, huh?
