Perhaps the original question could be rephrased to, what can we plug into the mantle that electricity will travel through easier than the mantle itself? But I'd have to wonder, if there is some way to harvest electricity from it, would that have a consequence similar to what harvesting water has done to the Colorado River.
I think the reason nobody knows what major will cause them to get a good job is because no major will cause them to get a good job. That thing about going to college to get a good job, that's over. At least in the United States.
It's not that people think it's only good for a job. It's that you need to have some expectation of getting a return on the investment in order to justify what the education costs. Basically people can't afford to learn things.
The same could be said about the telephone, broadband, & oil industries. They're not forced on you. You could just do without them. And unlike her situation, it won't kill you. Also, if I were her, I'd be more concerned about the hardware than the software.
You're also allowed to make your state flag a symbol of slavery and hatred of Black people. And saying Gay people shouldn't exist and Mexican people don't belong in this country are both allowed. And you're allowed to celebrate any time a Muslim person is killed. And if your Wi-Fi network name says anything bad about any of these groups, I really doubt the police will come after you.
Google also obviously has a fair number of Slashdot accounts promoting their bullshit. You all went crazy about Bing using Google search results. This is a bit worse.
Not that I know of. It listed Fedora 14 as an available update. Not 16. And I've always been leery about upgrades rather than completely new installs anyway.
Well, I have a newer one but that one's running Windows. I've always thought of Linux as a way to install a modern operating system on older computers that couldn't handle the bloat of Windows.
Last week, I downloaded Fedora Core 16 and found that, for the first time, I was not able to update Linux on my Inspiron 8200. Because it has 512 megs of RAM and that install required more. Not sure why an installer requires 768 megabytes. So anyway, maybe that's a sign I should look at BSD.
Long ago, my friend had the NES Advantage Joystick. It was a big controller with a knob to simulate the joysticks of arcade games. Well that big black knob was missing from his, leaving only the stem that the knob was screwed onto. He continued to use the Joystiq with just that stem. I saw the red mark in the center of the palm of his hand from using the thing. He didn't care.
The ads caused me to "Unlike" stuff I actually like. I don't know if the ads much affected whether I like Dr. Pepper or Oreo cookies. However, anybody looking at my page in the past would see something like "Amber likes Dr. Pepper". Not anymore. It's almost as if they'd have been better off letting the profile page be the ad, at least with me.
If you think rich people don't say "you get what you pay for" and poor people never go for the cheapest option then you know nothing about rich people or poor people. Rich people buy iPhones & poor people buy Cricket phones. Rich people buy Mercedes & poor people buy Hyundai. And what the heck, rich people buy Sony TV's while poor people buy Vizio.
Oddly enough, I've got the Vizio and the Hyundai. But I suppose poor people don't buy EVO 3D's. Maybe that's where I went wrong. But still, poor people don't waste money on things nearly as much as rich people. They just don't have the capability to do so.
Replacing the firmware in a car can cause mechanical failure though, perhaps by causing a transmission to shift gears at the wrong time and strip a gear or making the engine rev too high. Replacing the firmware in a phone isn't going to make an antenna melt or crack the screen. If a hardware component fails that can't be due to a programming error, they shouldn't be able to get out of it by saying "the phone was unlocked".
I wouldn't say the right to discontinue a service makes them evil. But I do think it's a good reason not to rely on any Google "cloud" service unless you don't mind losing everything.
Cars and houses both have doors and windows, both use some form of gas and electricity, both are designed to hold people and protect them from the elements, both have air conditioning, and entertainment features, and even both have carpets. So by your definition or by everybody else's, comparing a car to a house is like comparing apples to oranges.
I think it means the percentage of people they claim to represent, rather than the percentage of people they are. And that's the case with most heroes.

I might give that a go. My first Linux distribution was Suse. But I still want to see what the big deal is about BSD sometime.

People are buying cables that let them plug their phones into their televisions.

Taking something that everybody is using, and using it to shove your other products down their throat that they wouldn't otherwise have chosen.
You can disable the indexing of your web history, effectively disabling "personalized search" at the same time.
Is it really disabled, or do they just stop showing it to you?

Yes, Google. Cut off all of your ad revenue and break every Android phone in France for a day. And see who that hurts worse between Google and France.

It's easy for him to say that if it isn't going to change.
Hey, it's got rounded corners...

Do you have a link? All I'm getting is this.

No, but we can have trans fat & corn syrup allowed in high amounts, and pizza considered as a vegetable.
