I wouldn't say suckers. You make enough cash, $850/month is disposable income you don't care about. I guess older, used cars are for poor people who lack ambition to earn more. See what I did there?
Awwww, not this shit again. The DOE has stated that almost 80% of a US fleet of electric vehicles could be charged from off-peak (night) power generation, without building any additional plants. Raw materials? It's going to be far easier to come up with those than more oil (which is slowly running out). The electrical revolution has already been thought out, and it's running full steam ahead.
I'd have to Google for the link, but the US Department of Energy showed that even using coal for the electricity for electric vehicles was hugely more efficient than combustion engines in each car, on top of the fact that you could have a real emissions control system at the coal generation faciltity vs catalytic converters.
It's hard to go through life *without* spending money here or there lining the pockets of "bad" people, just because of how money filters through the economy. But with regards to this issue, I believe we've made the correct choice.
I have to disagree a bit. We buy carbon offsets for our company for the driving we have to do between datacenters/client sites/etc, because this is unavoidable driving. That carbon offset spending will shift to electric vehicle purchases from Tesla when the price comes down a bit more (we've already reserved a Model S Sedan as a company car, but they're still too expensive to get for everyone).
What sort of NTP servers do they need? I have several locations I can host from (I own a technology services firm) and could provide Stratum 1 services, as several of our NTP servers have GPS receivers attached.
Half-credit. They're trying to make the web faster, but to an extent to further their webapps agenda. Why? That's their playground. If the web is faster (Google DNS, Google's SPDY architecture), you won't rely on that desktop so much for apps now will you?
But why would one change to use Google's DNS? If you're technical enough and care about such, you're way better off setting up your own recursive DNS server.
Because it's clearly easier for me to setup my own recursive DNS server than it is to point to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. I have better things to do than manage basic infrastructure like that at home. Off-load the little stuff so you can do the big stuff, the work stuff, and the fun stuff.
Regarding datamining:
They state very bluntly that IP addresses are expunged from the logs after 48 hours, and that no data is shared with Google Accounts or other Google services. They still get to play with a lot of aggregated data, but this seems like a fairly non-evil way to do it. Good for them. http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/faq.html#privacy
Google's service actually preemptively caches records ahead of their TTL expiring, so while you'll have a bit more traffic versus running your own resolver, I think things will be faster for you because you'll never have a cache miss (and therefore, the wait of the resolver going to the auth dns server for the answer) with Google's Public DNS service.
My understanding is that the faster you can move particles around, the harder you can smash them together. The harder you can smash them together, the easier it is to see the fundamental building blocks of those pieces. Imagine a car wreck with both cars doing 50mph. Now imagine the same wreck with each car doing 100mph. Which will break the cars into smaller pieces.
If you uses Asterisk, you could probably configure the dialplan to use the Google Voice API so that when you dialed with the ATA device, Asterisk would kick off the webservice call to initiate the call, negating the need for using the web browser. Just a thought.
I disagree. This is a perfect comparison. It doesn't matter if it was an accident, you still killed someone and should be held accountable. In this case, the defendant was financially motivated, not meaning to attack the country directly, and the charges should take that into account. I think circumstances would be different if his actions caused a critical failure of some sort, death, etc.

Which is just as, if not more, inefficient as an internal combustion engine.
You have a plan to mine for hydrogen? Or are we just going to waste electricity turning water to hydrogen so we can use it in hydrogen cars?

Thank god someone picked up on that. This *is* Slashdot afterall.
Awesome. Away I go adding 6 servers.

Their pipes, their rules. Feel free to buy service from another last mile provider.

Doesn't folding@home run with the lowest of priorities?
Temporary or not, I still got paged and had to deal with it last night =(
I'm not saying it doesn't work, quite the contrary. It's working very well for what it's doing. I'm very interested in seeing in where it goes next.
Javascript is a nice experimental language like so many others but it shouldn't be running 90% of mission-critical applications.
But alas, it's driving a majority of the web.
Which, in some cases, share the same backhaul.

Welcome to reverse discrimination.
We could argue intention/motivation, but a crime is a crime, regardless what you meant.
You are aware that laws are based on intention, right? Like how manslaughter and murder are different based on intention?
If it's your 10 year old daughter who is raped and murdered, you have more than the stomach for it. You have your own muscle and a sharp object.
