The problem with hypothetical statements is that they ignore reality - the emergence of "full artificial intelligence" over the next twenty-five years is far less likely than an asteroid striking the earth and annihilating us.
Gog is great, I've been binging in the recent sales and have shown support by pre-ordering Witcher 3.
Trojans are worse - they don't have an install option, just starting the installer will install the trojan. Trojans don't have an uninstall option. Trojans typically try to commit crimes such as CC card info stealing, DDOSing or spamming.
That is part of the reason, continuous manufacturing improvements / new techniques is the biggest reason for the drop. New methods of creating Solar Panel / Solar energy collection are still being invented regularly. The chart you linked goes from $60/Watt to $1.5/Watt but the price now is below $0.5/Watt.
Tools like Process Monitor, Process Explorer, Autoruns are better for watching viruses.
Checking the software with VirusTotal is the best way of finding out if it's virus/trojan. Of course the best way to scan a system is from separate OS. But I'm lazy and use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
"So the question really becomes what percentage of your electricity price is generation and what percentage is distribution?"
Admin, grid, profits = 50% of the price you pay for electricity. That means your solar system can be nearly twice as expensive (per watt) as the utilities and still break even.
From $4 per watt in 2008 to $0.5 per watt in 2014 that's a lot more than halving every ten years, I wouldn't be surprised if the price halved again within the next 2-3 years, that would lead to utility solar being cheaper than coal power.
If a car can have a 85KWh battery then why can't a house have a 10KWh battery? The price of batteries is set to plummet due to mass scale production of electric cars which need the batteries and the billions going into battery R&D.
Most of the cost of Solar PV is in the installation and bureaucracy now.
You weren't downloading cracks. I downloaded a load of 'cracks' from Piratebay and ran them in a VM for kicks, there were some right nasty little buggers.
This isn't rocket science, all that is needed is some script to copy files to the hdd, delete files, rinse and repeat, check smart stats occasionally.
HDDs write at over 100mb/s. the test they did wasn't a whole lot faster. It is simple to deduce that the test is easily possible on a hdd. No-one has said the drives have to be filled the same number of times, merely that a petabyte has to be written, that can be done, there is no reason why it can't be done and you haven't given any valid reason why it can't be done.
The ads are only half of the story, it's the stalking I don't like, some pages have scripts from 20+ sites half of which are for advertisers to stalk you.
Googleâ(TM)s boldest energy move was an effort known as RE(less than)C, which aimed to develop renewable energy sources that would generate electricity more cheaply than coal-fired power plants do.
**Excluding Externalities**
The real cost of coal is already far more expensive than wind, solar, nuclear, or even geothermal.
So these guys decided that the health costs and environmental destruction that coal plants cause are irrelevant.
They also decided that Renewables were not feasible because they supposedly could not create energy as cheap as coal. Two things here, One - So fucking what if coal without the externalities is cheaper, it needs to die regardless. Two, they must suck at projections because wind is now as cheap as coal and solar looks like it will catch up.
The full version of the WHO health effects report adopted by the UN, published in April 2006, included the prediction of 5000 additional fatalities from significantly contaminated areas in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine and predicted that, in total, 9000 will die from cancer among the 6.9 million most-exposed Soviet citizens.[64][not in citation given]This report is not free of controversy, and has been accused of trying to minimize the consequences of the accident.
So, "no other known surplus cancers", what is that supposed to mean? And by the way, those 9000 cancers - (the low estimate) is just from the most affected 600,000 people. The radioactive cloud from Chernobyl went as far as the UK - but everyone else in Russia, Ukraine, EU is not included in those estimates.
"There is no evidence that what they are doing is dangerous." So, do you think living in an area where trees don't rot because fungi doesn't grow, where mice are 10,000 more radiative than normal, where birds have shrunken brains is safe?
Rod Adams has a hard time attacking what the 60mins guy says so he goes on a long attack against the man himself.
He then implies that being 10,000 times more radioative than normal is no big deal.
He also seems to have avoided noticing that lumps of metal cannot move or become airborne without some kind of driving force or that materials inside buildings â" even poorly maintained buildings â" do not harm people who are outside of the buildings.
He then comes up with an absurd fallacious argument stating that the area is safe because buildings and metals are solid so this somehow makes the area safe, serious WTF here, the guy is an complete idiot if he thinks this is sound reasoning. This didn't stop the mice becoming 10,000x more radioactive did it?
If Chernobyl is so safe then why are they building a new billion dollar sarcophagus around it. If "lumps of metal cannot move or become airborne" then why are they building a new billion dollar sarcophagus around it?
In all, Rod Adams page is full of drivel, no fact is sensibly debated or shown to be wrong, he 'reads into this' new facts that never existed, he attacks 60mins and it's presenter because there is nothing in the video worth attacking.
He concludes with a quote from someone saying they would trusts 60mins facts less in the future. I conclude that Rod Adams is a nuclear zealot who is no good at science and so attacks the people who state anything he doesn't agree with, rather than having the intelligence to deconstruct the message and debate it in any meaningful way.
It's nice to hear someone say that, I've said it myself. Journalists get hold of the wrong end of the stick and then exaggerate and here we are. That and people don't know where the fiction in films ends and reality begins.
People don't understand that the fancy things that computers can do aren't actually intelligent, they're the result of countless hours of work creating fuzzy logic, pattern recognition, great database tools etc. But this does not equal intelligence.
Take Google's autonomous car, in my view it requires either considerable AI or there will just be situations where it either doesn't know what to do and it just stops or crashes.
That is why i just don't understand those that rage because a browser goes to poo
It's because of browser customizability, I have about 30 extensions - a dozen of which I'd hate to lose and to configure a new browser with all bookmarks, extensions and settings would take many many hours to do, weeks of fixing niggly little things.
Is it so much to ask that a company with $300m revenue doesn't wreck one piece of software and fixes the bugs.
Fraud is obtaining money by deception, money that would not otherwise have been received.
"A false representation of a matter of factâ"whether by words or by conduct, by false or misleading allegations, or by concealment of what should have been disclosedâ"that deceives and is intended to deceive another so that the individual will act upon it to her or his legal injury."
Cheating to obtain a prize is very much fraud, the law covers it rather well.

I have explained how it is feasible, you on the other hand have insisted it isn't feasible without giving any logical reason why.
I think removing the other-OS functionality from the PS3 was far worse and a large part of the reason hackers like to target Sony.
No, sad is people who can't admit they're wrong.
You haven't done any math, if you had you'd realise they haven't been doing the test 24/7.
Look at the screengrab on this page:
http://techreport.com/review/2...
Here:
http://techreport.com/r.x/ssd-...
It shows that their test was rather slow, they were only writing at 208MB/s
At that speed it would take 58 Days 19 hours and 45 minutes to write 1 Petabyte.
I already did the math for a HDD - it would take about 100 days to write 1 Petabyte to a HDD.
Since they started the test in 2013, they could have done that easily.
Eh? It would take less than 100 days to write a 1PB to a 3TB drive. One could write to a 240GB area of the drive repeatedly if they wanted to.
A 3TB drive can be filled roughly 3 to 4 times a day.
