The "wisdom" of the crowds is "managed" via cherry picked search results, etc;
The graphic says electricity generated today is 40% "clean energy". With a number that high I assume they are including nuclear and natural gas power plants, hydroelectric, etc.
From the article:
"In fact, the fresh water doesn't have to come from a river. Cui says that storm runoff, gray water, or even treated sewage water could potentially be used. As an added benefit, the mixing entropy process can be reversed to produce drinking water by removing salt from ocean water."
First it was the "remote kiss/tongue", now it's a nose extension for smartphones...
There is another appendage that will eventually end up with an extension and "remote sensing" capability.
"I don't like ass kissers, flag wavers or team players. I like people who buck the system. Individualists. I often warn people: "Somewhere along the way, someone is going to tell you, 'There is no "I" in team.' What you should tell them is, 'Maybe not. But there is an "I" in independence, individuality and integrity.'" Avoid teams at all cost. Keep your circle small. Never join a group that has a name. If they say, "We're the So-and-Sos," take a walk. And if, somehow, you must join, if it's unavoidable, such as a union or a trade association, go ahead and join. But don't participate; it will be your death. And if they tell you you're not a team player, congratulate them on being observant."
So if I bought a Sony Blu-Ray player a while back, and had to create an account on their site to "access" the device, it appears that account I created has been compromised.
Well, I usually have 2-3 console windows open at a time on my Ubuntu desktop, so I can actually do what I want. I really only use the "UI" for things like browsing and playing music...

Should be modded insightful. Yes, the whole Apple culture/worldview/aura is very L. Ron Hubbardesque.
Is that you Dr. Spengler?

I'm truly offended by your unbiased and rational reply to this story, and that you haven't gone along with the USPS bashing. You should be ashamed.
If there were mod points for Snarky you would get em.
One of the better posts in this thread.
Yea, it's call fact checking, and with the digitization of modern life, it is a skill that is quickly disappearing.
OMG!!!!!!! Reveal Codes!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, thats what the "F" stands for...

Is that a straw in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
A good friend of mine has been trying to get me to read this for years. I don't need to though, I'm a non-mormon who grew up in Utah...

All flight data should be backed up on Cloud Storage.
You've got it all wrong. They sent in the North Korean sub to retrieve the "memory part". You know, the sub that torpedoed the Deepwater Horizon.
The best post in this whole thread.

Weirdo codenames haven't been cool in a loooong time. Give me dot releases anyday.
