Nah. Investment expenditures are at all time highs. Besides, they'll just pass that subsidy-expiration on to the consumer. http://econbrowser.com/wp-cont...
I have a bigger problem with the whole proxy business. I have a great fat LTE pipe to the internet that speedtests great 24/6 but in the middle is a proxy I can't get rid of that inserts 10 seconds of latency to respond every time the phone loads a webpage.
the problem is it got there in the first place. Ubuntu was in this place 10 years ago and I stopped checking because there was always glitchy broken junk like this. I thought, they'll figure it out. Nope.
And telling people to report bugs is not the answer. We've been doing that for years.
FYI they wanted to recover but had difficulty getting permits to do so seeing as this is the first time ever. The agreement reached was if they can do it over water first, then allowed to do land next.
It's important to realize they're attempting to land a rocket backwards, which requires carrying extra fuel, which means if something went wrong on landing, there would be a rocket full of propulsives out of control landing somewhere in FL or CA.
Paraphrasing other Slashdot posts I have seen, there are no compelling reasons to upgrade to Python 3. Removing the global interpreter lock would be one major reason to, but no one has submitted a good patch for that, and besides, someone would probably just backport it to Python 2.7.
On the contrary, that point is exactly *why* we GPL advocates advocate it. We don't want to enable companies which have no intention whatsoever to be part of the community. They're free to do everything themselves, and good luck to them. But giving them a leg up to get off the ground just so they can be selfish assholes with their ideas? Why should we? And yes, sharing your *ideas* and *implementations* is what we mean by being part of the community. If this isn't for you, then don't let the door hit you on the way out, thanks.
hm I see your point, but i don't have a problem with enabling companies to be selfish. You only exclude the entrepreneurs by being viral. The large companies will jump in and be selfish because they already have teams they can dedicate to being selfish and rolling their own if they want. They'll just use BSD or something. The entrepreneurs create new technologies, so excluding them just kills new smaller markets that larger companies wouldn't have entered anyways. Maybe it's not a big deal and maybe its good we get closed companies being forced to contribute. I know IMO having closed hardware that only runs NonFree software is lame.
one would be dumb to take a loan denominated in bitcoin. Since the supply is limited, someone eventually loses (defaults) by simple math. With inflation, this doesn't have to happen, as new money enters the system. Which is why we have fiat. This is also why people get so cranky about "fractional reserve lending".
that's called being a scoffer, cranky, and losing what makes you young. Not to be critical. Us nerds are so self critical because everyone else is, it really hurts you long term. You turn cranky and skeptical of everything. Nothing is fun anymore.
the point is not "can", the point is "will" as in, will anybody bother reading slashdot to find your post and visit that website? no. people will still be forced to replace their incandescents in the attic, bathroom, and closets with CFLs that fail when they're not left on for 15 minutes.
Nakamoto registered the bitcoin.org domain on a somewhat obscure Japanese site. His communication in English had all kinds of clues that his native language was Japanese (sentence structure, word choice, etc.). He was active during daylight and evening hours in Japan.
I'm playing devil's advocate here, but that could be deliberate misdirection.
To put that in perspective, assuming you take a 15 minute shower at 2.5gpm, that takes 37gallons of water, or 3/4 a tank of water. That's 3600W, 3.6KWH, or 36 cents per shower.
Alternatively, for every shower, you could -run your 100w incandescant light bulb for...36 hours -or use a wireless charger to charge your phone and waste 30% of (2500mAh * ~3.7v so 10 watts) aka 30% * $0.001 -or watch your 65" DLP TV for 18 hours (200w) -tell a green thumb to stuff it
I honestly don't mind the SEER requirements for rental units and new constructions (except that they only measure ability to cool inside temps from 80F, with 85F ambient outside temps-- e.g. practically ideal situation that never occurs in the summer), but before they started releasing mercury into the atmosphere with the mandatory CFLs that nobody is going to bother recycling, they should have made us use heat pump water heaters (transfers the heat to surrounding environment, just like your AC works in the summer/heater in the winter [assuming you're not on gas]).
Slashdot Mirror
third and fourth in that playlist are where it gets interesting. I should not have linked first vid it is ahem boring.
Dear Oil Company, .
I have a bunch of batteries. And sunshine. And a thing that makes a light bulb go on.
Piss off
Dear tquasar, it looks like your power comes from coal, and will for the near and far future unless your politicians build nuclear plants.

What's the matter anyways do you have a 7 digit UID it something?
then think harder dimwit. I'm not going to lift for you. Step out of your thorough econ101 understanding and do your own diligence.
2.0 isn't good enough. it just uses 3d1080p60 as 4kP30. IIRC from another post on /.
Uhm, sorry, but you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.
(dude 1: [looks over at dude next to him]...what's with his attitude??? dude 2: dunno brah)
27" @ 1920x1080 via HDMI
24" @ 1080x1920 via Dual-Link DVI (NOT a typo, monitor has been rotated 90 degrees), and
27" @ 2560x1440 via DisplayPort
My total horizontal resolution is 5560
When I click maximize on my rotated 24" 1080x1920 I don't have to worry about it accidentally wasting space on the ENTIRE workspace.
*dude 1*: oh, I see now. here let me push your glasses up for you.
*dude 2*: [smirking] LOSER!
sounds like the financial industry. Finance industrialization. Now, finance the financed industrialization. Securitize it, and sell it to investors.
bitcoin has its share of internal support. It's a good thing.
it should be an addition to the bitcoin protocol. No transactions valid when >25% of aggregate hashing in one pool.
But it's good to have some controlling interest. Couple of in control parties provide direction and support to the price level.
one would be dumb to take a loan denominated in bitcoin.

Pittsburgh ok but what's in the grand canyon?
because when it sets at 4:11PM, that's so much better!
they're welcome to move here if they don't like it
