including the Linux kernel, the core software program behind the world's biggest eponymous open source software.
What open source software, aside from possibly Linux, a mashup of the original developer's name (LINus) and the thing he was trying to recreate (UniX), is named after it's original author?
Is there a Mr. Containers? Ms. Drupal? Mrs. Apache? I've scan the list of books at O'Reilly and none jumps out as being named after their creator, the defining requirement for considering something as eponymous last I checked.
NY wind farm will be on line in 10 year, because massive state-funded municipal project always finish on-time, under-budget, and exceed everyone's expectations...
Hey, numbnuts - how does a nuclear power plant "spill" more power "out the side of a nuclear (power) plant" than it generates? Seems to me it would have to generate the power so it could "spill out the side"?
Elon Musk: “If you wanted to power the entire United States with solar panels, it would take a fairly small corner of Nevada or Texas or Utah. You only need about 100 miles by 100 miles of solar panels to power the entire United States. The batteries you [would] need to store the energy, so you have 24/7 power, is 1 mile by 1 mile. One square-mile.”
Did he, perhaps, mention that factoid as the upper-limit of his market for selling solar panels and batteries in America when he went looking for investors?
Curious, how many square miles of solar panels have the federal government subsidized since we started subsidizing residential and commercial solar panels?
Yes, go California and New York - drive up the costs of living in your state and then cry like stuck pigs when your property taxes aren't deductible any more...
California has this fantastic idea called a bullet train that will be slightly faster than taking a plane, and is already enjoying unprecedented delays and budget-busting cost over-runs.
California has another great idea, it's called single-payer universal healthcare - it will only cost 2x the current state budget, but hey, I'm certain your residents will enjoy paying triple taxes.
California also currently enjoys the highest poverty rate of all 50 states, yet oddly is also one of th emost prosperous states in the union... Hmm.
New York recently (and may still offer) a blanket ten year wavier on state taxes to try and convince businesses to relocate to NY state... That one really peeved off a lot of the current business owners in New York that are expected to ignore the offer and just pay their taxes.
Governor Andrew Cuomo unveiled a plan earlier this month to develop $6 billion of offshore wind projects off the southern coast of Long Island by 2028 and predicted that the industry would bring 5,000 jobs to the state. The plan calls for developing 2.4 gigawatts -- enough to power 1.2 million homes -- by 2030.
The report also notes that New Jersey announced a similar plan last Wednesday to develop 3.5 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity off its coast.
Why was New Jersey's plan to build 3.4 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity tossed in as an afterthought, but the article focuses on New York's plan to build 2.4 Gigawatts...
Please explain to me how this is in any way better than simply setting a reminder slightly shorter than the renewal date on your new driver's license and a PDF of your image on your phone.
I can easily imagine a program that detects a new photo on the SD card, transmits the message to the linked-to device (smartphone), then overwrites every sector the photo occupied with a random bit pattern before deleting the photo entry from the file directory on the device.
Sure, a curious regime could send the SD card out for data recovery, but the actual sectors the photo occupied would contain the random bit pattern - a brute-force search of the device would be fruitless.
Wow, I'd think the better approach would be a fingerprint reader that can store two fingerprints - one that operates normally, allowing access to all the images on the device, a second finger that only allow access to a curated area of storage, with pictures of puppies, children, and sunsets. A more aggressive option would be a third-finger that wipes the contents of the card...
For example:
scanning your pointer finger opens the curated photo collection
scanning your ring finger opens the entire contents
scanning your middle finger erases the device
such an arrangement would allow the photojournalist the option of providing access as the situation warranted, choosing to either protect their subject's privacy/security or save their bacon if they are afraid for their life.
There is the eyefi SD card that includes a wifi implementation, allowing you to shoot photos from your camera to your smartphone without any interaction, turning your smartphone into a secure, encrypted photo vault, which can sync with a cloud data service.
Why? This could be pretty easy. Just load up a small version of gpg that only encrypts. Load in your public certificate, and have it encrypt every picture using that. When you get home you decrypt them.
Except, how will this work if you want to see the photo you just took? Encrypt upon capture with encrypt-only software would prevent the camera user from being able to review the photo they just took until they get to a device that can decrypt them. if you implement encryption such that it is a process the photographer chooses to apply after taking the photo (think of it as a process similar to deleting a photo - you highlight it and select "encrypt", rendering it invisible on the camera), that will leave the photos vulnerable immediately after being taken - you know, like when the soldier grabs your camera right after you snap the photo of the soldier beating up a protester...
Biometric security can be "compromised" if you have the hand the fingerprint came from... We're talking repressive regimes here, they would happily put a pistol to your head and tell you to put your thumb on the fingerprint scanner.
The lack of encryption means high-end camera makers are forcing their customers to choose between putting their sources at risk, or relying on encrypted, but less-capable devices, like iPhones.
Or, you know, pulling the memory card out of the camera and hiding it.
I've seen wifi SD cards for cameras, so it should be easy to have your high-end camera send it's pictures to your smart phone, tablet, etc. as soon as you take it, then the photojournalist can simply delete the local copy on the camera. when your camera is searched, no images are found, they are all on your secure, encrypted smartphone, and who knows, maybe the smartphone could sync with a cloud service to get the images out of the region moments after captured?
Most of the FBI employees are long term public servants.
As as everyone knows, the vast majority of all 'long term public servants' are registered Republicans, that explains the tremendous concentration of Republican elected officials in the region surrounding Washington DC.
Mueller has been at it more than a year and over a billion spent without anything to show and after the next elections you probably won't even find enough people in congress to even get an impeachment.
Make that millions, several million - not "billion".
Bush commuted Scooters sentences, just like Obama commuted Chelsea Manning's sentences... both are still felons, they simply had the president reduce their sentence.
Hillary is at risk for prosecution for her crimes until the statute of limitations runs out. Comey's 'decision' to not recommend that charges be brought against HRC does not preclude any future investigations, prosecutions.
Take Comey's 'no charges' speech, cut off the last bit about not being able to find a prosecutor that would bring charges against her, and you've got a pretty convincing argument to pursue charges against Hillary & friends.

surely that would massively drive up power costs buying from such costly power generation.
Pish-posh, it's wind power, it's free.
Let's see, at $6 Billion to generate power for 1.2 Million homes, that's only $5K per home powered.
Now, about that 5,000 jobs, is that to maintain the windfarm or is that just to build them?

I kinda remember quite a few Democrats demanding Comey be fired by Obama in 2016, only to become Comey's greatest fans when Trump decided to fire him.

Why do you think Clinton didn't just fire Kenneth Star?
Perhaps he knew it would simply compound his problems?
That he chose not to fire Starr for whatever reason does not in anyway prove he couldn't, it simply proves he was wise enough to not do it.
It's something different.
And don't think 'different' is a synonym for 'better'.
The president is prevented from interfering with political appointees?
Fascinating, tell me more about your version of the U.S. Constitution!
... and successors did.
