Since I know what comments tend to be, I'm not going to read the rest of the responses however.
But having had an ex-wife who was in IT and a roommate who was a female gamer and programmer, and working with a lot of women at a professional level in STEM fields, I know it's sadly true how poisonous things are.
Some days I miss when USE*NET was real people's accounts, before we let you trolls in. The good old days of the flame wars.
First time they deploy these in public, some small kids will get killed and it's game over for the auto companies. Parents with dead kids don't ever forget.
I've given up on remote tech support for Windows myself for my relatives.
Hopefully my last Win 7 Professional will work for a while on my 8 core home PC. I'll install a dual boot Linux on a spare 2 TB drive just in case.
They lost me on this last Win 10 thing. I had hope Win 8 was just an Ooops rollout that they quietly kill, but if they're going to SaaS models, they aren't getting my cash.
Some of us run it at home, but since most of the work is done on Linux anyway, the whole auto updates was the last straw. It's kind of fun watching the distributed computing model morph back into the server based model that existed when I first got into programming.
My niece is an MD doing her placement in DC. My other niece works for Disney.com . My former roommate is now a software engineering intern in Mountain View.
Women can do it. The question is why are male hiring managers and execs so afraid of hiring them?
There are a lot of intelligent women they could hire, but they tend to hire men who they know, who belong to their frats or went to Stanford.
Many of my colleagues teach at Stanford.
The problem for Silicon Valley is that the world has changed, but they haven't. Kind of like the Deep South.
Just Do It. Hire women as interns at a 50 percent rate. Hire Hispanics and African Americans at least at the level they exist in the general population.
There are many highly able hires out there.
I know, I've been taking classes with them, as I go for my own PhD.
Sadly, I think you're right. He's even trying to remove the right of Canadian citizens worldwide from voting in Canadian Federal Elections, making Canada one of the few countries to deny their own citizens the right to vote.
That said, the Courts in Canada have tended to respect the Constitution there, so this too shall pass.
Yes, but if the power is out for a few months, anyone who installed their own panels will quickly convert it to power existing in-home systems, disconnecting from the grid.
My dad installed his own and is off grid. It's not that hard.
Slashdot Mirror
The video ads are what I hate the most.
Autoplay was the beginning of the loss of audience for slashdot.
More tech, more geek. Polls that are actually funny and geeky.
That's what engages us.
Agreed, the lack of nerdish news threads makes one less likely to visit.
If I wanted reddit or some other clickbait slushpile, I'd be on reddit or some other clickbait slushpile.
And answers.

Baaaaa!
Meanwhile, there are holes you can drive a truck at speeds up to 125 mph thru. Remotely. Against your will.
Mind if I slam on the brakes?
Polycore works better.
Well, more satisfying.
Actually, you're right, birdshot is more effective. But I love watching them go down in a punch.
Not sure how to welcome them, though.
Maybe we should have our Amibo welcome them with open arms?
Hmm, maybe if it had lasers ....
On the other hand, I still don't need a new browser.
Oh, come now, it's not like any decent hacker can compromise an automated car in under 10 seconds.
Oh.
Wait.
Why are we testing on humans?
Now, hamsters ...
Heck, at this point I'd settle for some GMO-mutated sea bass ...
Seriously, why should automated cars be operating in places where kids on bikes and skateboards and pets exist?
Automated cars might make sense in secure retirement communities, where everyone is 55 and nobody minds if they die.
Now that's driving.

Ever.

And now my entire lab is going Linux, because this Win 10 thing and auto updates means our systems would be at risk.

There's no reason to be afraid. They don't bite.

Sorry, I hear lots of Brahmin excuses for why they don't hire women or Untouchables in this.
Just Do It.
Seriously, I've met many highly educated women who would work in STEM if hiring managers and top execs would just hire them.
Excuses don't matter.
Actions do.

The UK high court ruling on a challenge under EU rights. Same diff.
I mean, unless he's a drone ... Although, given the actor, that might make sense.
Make it so!
Find a home using Windows 10 Home to run it's security.
Spoof server.
Feed "update" during automatic patch cycle.
Control home security.
Loot.
Profit!
Problem solved.
