Your data is just moved to the hidden account Google keeps about you (and everyone else, even those w/o Google accounts) where it exists forever - you know, like Facebook does.
Is there oil off the coast of Mar-a-Lago? Trump pitched a fit about a wind farm off the coast of Scotland near his golf course there. Wonder how he'd feel about a few oil drilling platforms or a spill?
Just throw all your Apple devices into a conventional microwave oven and nuke on high power for a few minutes.
You realize that Wi-Fi and microwave ovens operate on similar frequencies. So, technically, you could both charge and nuke it from a distance, like from orbit - to be sure.
You might enjoy this (90m) video, Sugar: The Bitter Truth by Robert H. Lustig, MD, UCSF Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology.
The video explores the damage caused by sugary foods. He argues that fructose (too much) and fiber (not enough) appear to be cornerstones of the obesity epidemic through their effects on insulin. Series: UCSF Mini Medical School for the Public [7/2009]
Critics of Energy Star say the government should get involved in the marketplace only when absolutely necessary.
Please define absolutely necessary.
When it benefits the person involved, otherwise it's government overreach.
An example illustrating use by the uninformed, the common Tea Party rant: "Keep the Government out of Medicare." A good read is, The Truth About the Tea Party:
As Palin launches into her Ronald Reagan impression — "Government's not the solution! Government's the problem!" — the person sitting next to me leans over and explains.
"The scooters are because of Medicare," he whispers helpfully. "They have these commercials down here: 'You won't even have to pay for your scooter! Medicare will pay!' Practically everyone in Kentucky has one."
A hall full of elderly white people in Medicare-paid scooters, railing against government spending...

That's what happens when you get a bunch of blind men and an elephant.
Then what? You just stare blankly at your monitor? I don't think your manager would appreciate that.
Heard this quote today: "Don't mistake activity with achievement." - John Wooden
Certainly not w/o the Secret Service getting really upset.
Not seeing how this is different from say, PHP?
Maybe this won't suck. :-)
... the robot's cameras filmed the pranksters' license plate, making it easy to track them down.
Lesson #1. Spray paint over the camera lens first.
Lesson #2: (Advanced) Do NOT joke about having hair products in your backpack when talking with the security robot.
Did you see the list of companies in TFS? For at least half of them an association with Nazi terrorist puppy mulchers would improve their image.
And YouTube is all they have now that Bill O'Reilly is off the air. :-)
How deleted are the data? ...

Harry Huskey would be a great porn name. Just say'in.

Could you remind me how many people SpaceX has killed? Boeing and Lockheed have certainly killed people in the past.
It's simply a matter of time. Space travel is a dangerous activity.
Remember Challenger? When solids fail the possibility of vehicle loss is quite high.
Or when "o-rings" fail. If the booster had been one piece, it wouldn't have failed.

... allow users to charge up their iPhones with nothing more than a Wi-Fi router.
Now I have to carry around a Wi-Fi router and find a place to plug that in. (sigh) Fucking Apple.
I'm confident that my participation in the daily scrum meeting is in no way harmed by my Uber gigs.

It's pretty technical.
Not thinking it through, watch them set the limit to 118.
Millenials don't expect to work past 65 because they'd be surprised if they make it past 50 without committing suicide.
I don't think Uber can employ *that* many people.
I wish I had mod points. Best definition of "absolutely necessary" ever. But The Tea Party story is even better.
Thanks. I'm sure I'll get mod'ed down for mentioning it 'cause, you know, /. :-)
Er, coal and natural gas are both fossil fuels. And both release carbon when burned.
Coal emits far more ash and other particulates, which can cause health and environmental problems.
You could extend the life of coal a few years by letting them dump waste water into streams, reducing worker safety regulations, etc, ...
Just mentioning that's exactly what some of the Trump executive orders have (re)enabled.
Did you know they still make buggy whips? No joke. But while everyone on the road used to need a buggy whip, their demand is now greatly diminished.
Because they're ineffective. Have you ever tried whipping a buggy? Has no effect; they just sit there and take it.
... no less than Rick Perry himself has admitted the US needs to stay in the Paris Accord.
He meant the Honda Accord he was using in Paris.
I'm running out of armchairs to sit in while I solve all the world's problems!
So start work solving the impending armchair shortage.
