So why are you pushing out a site that doesn't have even the most essential features done yet? Slashdot Beta seems like something I could have whipped up in a week as an incomplete, buggy proof-of-concept.
a week? dont kid yourself, it is a custom WORDPRESS skin. You can make similar one in few hours.
I'v been in that situation. It was a PC hardware enthusiasts site sold at the peak of.com bubble to an investment fund. Within one month new management started changing the message board, message board that was the heard of the side and brought traffic. After one month they deleted old forum and moved everything into phpBB. Two months after the buyout forum was empty. 2-3 months later original creator of the site launched new portal:D with slightly changed name, and SAME forum software:D. One month later that new site picked up all the old users. Site that was sold closed shop a year later, new one is still running strong. Creator bought a new flat/house with money to spare = everybody wins.
Why buy something that isn't demonstratively faster than the old stuff...
I mean if the difference is so small that there is some sort of debate about if it is effectively working or not, then it seems to me at that point cost should be the deciding factor. I doubt these D Wave machines are any cheaper than the old stuff.
Because they couldn't afford not to, just like Spain couldn't afford not to finance Columbus. The risk is cushion change compared to potential reward.
The universe doesn't work in specifics until something is measured. It doesn't choose parameters for particles (spin, position, &c) at the outset and let things evolve like little billiard balls.
Instead, it uses probabilities which flow and interact with one another.
This makes ZERO sense, unless our universe is a running simulation and those are just optimization artifacts.
It is sensitive and you will get prosecuted for posting it _if_ you live in US and those are royalty details. By royalty I mean upper echelons of power, not some cattle citizens.
Samsung is the only mfgr I would truct in SSD market segment. Even with TLC that test shows ~2.5MB or realocated sectors after 500TB. Drive has ~10MB of spare sectors = will probably survive up to ~1PB.
You know whats getting cheaper? TLC flash, the kind that degrades WHEN YOU READ IT, the kind that has internal read counter and needs to be written again after a certain number of reads to level cell voltages, the kind that has ~300 writes life span. Its designed to DIE no matter what you do with it.
It's a weird phenomenon, but it seems that the Japanese don't "get" system software/operating systems AT ALL.
It almost seems to be a cultural thing. They like baroque/quirky interfaces and systems. For video games, that is often a good thing; it makes the game interesting. For applications, it sucks.
You hit nail on the head. For more reference just read about Nintendo Wii/WiiU. They delivered TEN (10) years old development environment for the Wii (straight from GCN days). It only got worse for WiiU.
but spendy ($300 on sale vs. $800 for 1920x1200 vs. 1080p screens, $500 laptops vs. $1000+ laptops, etc).
Price difference between shit on a stick 1366x768 panel, and a proper 1920x1200 (or even 2K) one is about $20-40. The only other thing you need to change in the whole laptop to swap screens is flex strip connecting lcd with mb because new screen needs two LVDS channels (or is eDP instead of lvds).
As you can see they dont make those shitty ~720p laptops because of component cost. They force this shit on us to artificially create "luxury" (read not totally shitty) market segment.
Cant do that, passing is sooo dangerous, just as changing tires and fueling is. Corners are also dangerous, but we cant figure out a way to get rid of them (yet).
Nvidia has a habit of showing stuff 1-2 years too early, and later under delivering. Meanwhile ARM is showing (CES) new Mali chips that are already shipping/will ship this summer, chips that are capable of rendering 3D games in 4K.
Btw era of $700 smartphones has ended (maybe except apple).

Managers have an intrinsic need to manage shit. With no new projects and business as usual they feel useless and threatened.

Just submitted a story to the Firehose: Once Slashdot beta has been foisted on me, what site should I use?

But don't they just type the hack really fast at a moments notice just like in the movies?
This requires two people typing really fast on the same keyboard simultanously

There's still potential for the Ouya 1.0, the Tegra 3 chip it uses has been demonstrated (by nVidia) to be perfectly capable of game streaming.
You mean like $30 Chromecast? Or any random $25-35 Chinese miracast dongle?
F1 got castrated after Senna died, it was gradually getting worse and worse, I finally stopped watching 5 years ago.
SSD is getting cheaper and faster every day.

so you have an IDS that can detect timing covert channel?
Yes, it did wonders for Formula 1. From most popular motor sport to boring snorefest nobody watches in ~15 years.
No, he means calling child molesters a fraud. Priests are people too, you know.
not the 10%ers that ride the Google Bus

I fail to see how this would be a better comparison, would you be so kind to enlighten me?
Specifically, how are the "technology workers" a "corrupt overclass"? Again, how come working for Google
taxes for starters
One of the ways to get promotion at Google is finding a way of automating your current position.

Go read his blog post about the "results" he experienced. He's giving the full-blown "I now have the body of a 12 year old
Well, have you seen his picture? He does look like a 12 year old boy from the neck down.
