My wife is a reformed pack-rat. One of my primary clutter-forms is books.
Do you have kids? Do you plan to have kids? (I realize/. trends towards no kids, but I thought I'd ask...) Kids are a great motivator / driver for de-clutterization, particularly when it comes to books. When kids are toddlers they take great pleasure in pulling things off shelves - So books on lower shelves have to go. If you haven't done so already, you also need to anchor your bookcases to the wall when you have kids so they don't wind up crushed. In some cases it's easy to just get rid of the bookcases - So those books have to go. Finally, you need somewhere to store kids-book and toys - You get the picture.
Of course, kids bring whole new forms of clutterization, but at least your books are gone...
When we went through it we put a lot of books in containers in the garage, 'in case we needed them.' Five years later it turns out I didn't really need that paperback of "Caves of Steel" nor that guidebook to Greece from 1993 and we got ride of them for good.
I have a Surface Pro at work (not RT). It's my daily computer, and it's pretty slick. At work I've got a mouse, keyboard and display attached (desktop is extended to the display). When I travel, I take the clicky keyboard case. It's a solid piece of kit that works really well and integrates seamlessly with our network environment at the office. All my applications and content is accessible. I'm the only person in the office with a tablet as my 'only' computer, and when I travel it's the only thing I take and everything is there. Contrast that with my colleagues who all have a PC (or Mac) + a tablet. Don't know why anyone would buy an ultrabook when this gadget is on the market.
These electric cars are just as poisonous to the environment as anything else but liberal idiots keep on keepin on.
Really depends on when your power comes from. I live in British Columbia, where the majority of our electricity comes from Hydroelectricity - So the electric cars here have a very, very low carbon footprint. Ditto jurisdictions where power comes from wind, solar and fission.
This is gonna be quite the paradox for the Slashdot community. To the Slashdot hive mind, there is no nation on the earth as oppressive as the USA. You could be describing some oppressive police state hellhole, with zero human rights, no press freedom and no rule of law and the universal Slashdot response is "Yeah, but the USA is WAY worse."
As the UN is dominated by these oppressive nations, in theory Slashdot should welcome an internet takeover by the UN because, you know, they're still WAY better than the USA.
A century ago telegrams were sent using morse, but in the last 80 years or so, a 'telegram' doesn't / didn't mean 'morse code.'
When Roger O. Thornhill sends a telegram in North by Northwest it would have gone by telex machine. The 'Congratulations!' telegrams we sent and received in my youth were sent by telex.
One of the reasons video stores closed was the cable companies were able to offer 'video on demand.'
Here in Canada, you just push the 'On Demand' button on your cable company's remote and presto there's a video store, with both free and rental content, available for you. I assume it must be the same in the USA? Why don't you start them with that?
You go to a local store on your way from work and pick up supplies for the day.
I leave work at 5. I get home at 5:45. That just give me time to help make and have dinner with the kids (with maybe a trip to the park afterwards) before we start pajamas, teeth brushing, stories and bedtime.
No way I'm gonna eat into that time in some Mayberry fantasy world of stopping by the Piggly Wiggly on the way home....and as for healthy stuff, I brought a mess of organic strawberries, blueberries and rasberries home from Costco, as well as other tasty stuff.
Just got back from Costco with my 2 year old and 5 year old. Back of the station wagon's full of provisions. Explain to me again how that works on a bike?
Do you have kids? I know Slashdot trends towards no kids (or only one kid), but it's often the arrival of children that becomes the catalyst for my non car-owning friends to bite the bullet and start browsing Craigslist to buy a ride.
Did you RFTA? It doesn't say they don't *drive* - It says millennials don't care about *owning* cars. They're fine with car sharing, car co-ops and using alternate transportation methods. My wife has a large circle of younger cousins (Catholic family) and they're all like this - All in their 20s and not one of them owns a car.
How is it a 'private convention?' I've never been, but isn't it the case that I can walk up, plunk down my cash at the door, and walk in? That makes it about as 'private' as the next Star Wars movie.
Note it's a hardware solution, while the question as about a software solution for existing hardware
It's a combination of software, hardware and services.
The hardware contains the persistence module code.
The software activates the persistence module code in the BIOS to ensure the software agent can survive an OS re-install. The software also phones home to the monitoring center.
The 'services' are the team of ex-law enforcement who liaise with local law enforcement to effect the actual recovery of the stolen computer.
By definition. The FAA exists, not to protect the flying public, but the flight industry. Perceptions of a design fault are not allowed, but a human error is allowed.
Just curious: If this is the case, how do you explain the FAA's reaction to the 787 battery issue? Or the changes mandated after Air Canada Flight 797?
My wife is a diabetic and travels with her insulin supplies in her cabin baggage. You throw that into the fire and I'm punching you in the face.
If we've crashed in the Amazon I might cut you some slack. But San Francisco? I'm pretty sure they've got insulin. Now leave your bag behind and get the f*ck off the plane.
If I ever have to do an emergency evacuation and the guy in front of me has his cabin baggage with him (like we see in some of those pictures) I'm gonna throw it into the fire.
Also, why the hell would you want to make things more comfortable in a shelter? You do NOT want to give people a reason to stay longer.
Exactly right! If you're taking care of refugees, you want to make sure they're as miserable as possible so the better choice is for them to go back 'home' so their daughters can be be raped and their sons can be forced to become child soldiers.
Slashdot Mirror
Ah, that stupid fallacy again. A measure won't completely and totally solve a problem 100%, and therefore it has no value at all whatsoever.
Yes, welcome to Slashdot. Whether it's electric cars or protecting IP, perfect is *always* the enemy of good.

If you're wondering about the Roman History part, the empire collapsed.
Good. Listen, the only people we hate more than the Romans, are the f*cking Judean People's Front!
Nothing new here. Had the same experience in mexico a dozen years ago.
Incorrect.
Mexican pre-flight airport security does not operate with a red light / green light system.
Customs does, but that's completely different...

but good luck building more
You build a smart grid that charges the cars between 1AM and 5AM and you don't need to build more.

I have a similar effect on psycho women
Yeah, but psycho crazy girls are dynamite in the sack, aren't they...?

...same deal in India. Telex, not morse

There's even free telephone technical support.
> What country has developed usable electric cars, for instance?
Japan.
> What country developed the internet?
Any country that is deploying fiber broadband nationwide. (Hint: Not the USA)
> Smartphones?
Finland & Korea, mostly.

Just stick them on your bike

How many of those can reasonably afford a car?
Could they afford to pick up a used Civic or Focus on Craigslist? Sure. They just choose not to.
Do you have kids? I know Slashdot trends towards no kids (or only one kid), but it's often the arrival of children that becomes the catalyst for my non car-owning friends to bite the bullet and start browsing Craigslist to buy a ride.

I owned MSN TV and it was one of the best services of all time. So long, you will be missed...
Poor bastard - Modded to -1 simply for saying he liked something that does not have Slashdot GroupThink approval.

Fuckwit. Do you even know what a refugee is?
