About this time, someone is telling you to get on the plane. "Get on the plane. Get on the plane." I say, "fuck you, I'm getting IN the plane! IN the plane! Let Evil Knievel get ON the plane! I'll be in here with you folks in uniform! There seems to be less WIND in here!"
You never know how long you'll be in a property; the next owner might not be a tech head and cable in every room might be a selling point.
Exactly. I have only one TV, but (years ago) ran RG-6 QS and CAT-5e through the attic (I have a single-floor, ranch, home) to every bedroom and the family room (where TV is and MythTV system was) for potential use by me or future owners.
Apparently, it's the American way to want more than you can afford and then bitch about it when either (a) you can't have it or (b) you get it and have problems - and how it's someone else's fault. (said as an American, who is debt-free and lives under his means)
If you are unable to deploy because of a medical issue, then you have no business being in the Military.
The US military spends $84M/year on ED meds ($46M/y on Viagara alone) so it sounds like a LOT of people in the military are "unable to deploy" due to a medical issue.
That's 10x the cost of all the estimated trans surgeries, so if Trump *really* wants to save some $$$...
What next? A kernel bug gets blamed on systemd because systemd uses the kernel?
Wait! Who uses who now?:-)
Sorry, I'm from the future, where there is no kernel, only systemd.
Fun facts, after subsuming the kernel, the last non-systemd user land utility remaining is Emacs. Lennart and his (remaining) crew started the battle to absorb Emacs in 2040, five years before his death, and it's still raging many years after that. There have been casualties on both sides. Lennart died in 2045 when the experimental "systemd-elisp" module controlling his cold, robotic heart turned out to contain sleeper code, rumored to have been committed to GitHub by a radical faction of the FSF. He was found dead at his keyboard late one evening by the hooker he had ordered from Amazon Premiere earlier that day. The police report says he had been watching Trump porn.
I would like to point out that a significant subset of/. readers DO expect the headline to explain everything so that reading the article becomes unnecessary.
So the 140 character generation is becoming the (what?) 80 character generation?

The majority of CS majors I know can't even tell you how a processor works on basic principles. It's just a black box to them, and when things fail like a stack overflow, they don't know what that even means.
A stack overflow fail is when your question gets 0 responses - duh.
The profit margin on the $22k Surface Hub wasn't quite high enough using U.S. employees.
Don't be fooled by your company's slogans; "profits" not "employees" are the company's most valuable asset. Remember what Veronica said in Better Off Ted (S1 E4: "Racial Sensitivity"), which was refreshingly honest:
"Money before people," that's the company motto. Engraved on the lobby floor. It just looks more heroic in Latin.
[ And, no, I'm not against companies making money, but there's more to it than that. ]

London has an interesting idea to curb speeding -- magic.
Science takes brains, magic - black eyeliner.
I think the implication is that with abundant, easily generated H + O + C one could make hydrocarbon fuels, like gasoline.
'Cause Fake News is obtuse.
51% of our users want shit on the left
49% want shit on the right
Sure, if you go by the popular vote. The Electoral College on the other hand ... Wait. What are we voting on again?
Three more Communications Directors and Trump gets a set of steak knives.
Since you can't return "in" a motorcycle in a conventional sense, maybe it was in a sidecar bolted to the motorcycle.
Seems like you studied under George Carlin:

Python 2 and Python 3 are similar but different languages, ...
Or, using the Python 3 comparison operator: Python2 ~==~ Python3
Sorry, forgot to also mention the corresponding "different, but similar" operator: ~=!=~

Drivers get points added for hitting pedestrians on phones, points subtracted for hitting those without.
If bugs and programming errors that result in security flaws are a problem with systemd, would rewriting it in a language like Rust help?
There are bugs, programming errors and bad programming. Don't confuse the three.

I mailed in a Windows 10 Install DVD. When do I get my check for $250k?
...and not one coal miner...
That may change when Apple releases the iPhone 10 Steam Punk Edition, which will actually run on coal.

Let's hope they read 'Second Variety' by Philippe K. Dick.
And "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand.
And the fan-fiction sequel, "Congress Shrugged" by Paul Ryan.
(Sorry, couldn't resist a little political commentary.)

The number of spaces preceding a statement determines the scope of that statement? Wow. That seems totally nonsensical to me.
And there's absolutely no reason for it except hubris by the language designer.
'Theoretical' Security Flaws
I think the NSA has a whole department for these.
Likewise, for autonomous vehicles that may require instantaneous data transmission,
Okay, if their cars can violate the laws of physics, I think they might deserve special treatment.

OnePlus 5 will reboot itself once 911 is called, preventing them from reaching emergency services.
Hopefully the manufacturer will realize that it will hurt their resale business if their customers die ... and while using their product.
