Behavior is defined by feedback loops and currently there is no feedback from selling insecure crap to idiots. The obvious solution is to create a feedback loop by having each insecure device pound away at the websites of the people that made them.
Your anti-consumer attitude in the original XBone launch...
Whoa, there. It took you until the Xbox One to realize that Microsoft is anti-consumer? Have you learned nothing about their tactics over the last 30 years? Microsoft doesn't give a flying fuck about what their customers actually want or don't want and the only time they react is when it begins having a significant impact sales. I'm a bit thrown off by the fact that you don't know this already.
This never would have happened if Bernie had been allowed to win the nomination.
You bring up a good point and inadvertently another. Bernie never would have been totally excluded from eligibility if we had ranked voting because a Bernie supporter could still vote for Bernie and have the fallback vote. How many "Never Hillary" people would have voted for Bernie, Trump and some other people? Options are good and we need to fix our voting system that is limiting our options.
It's only ridiculous until you begin calculating the cost of actually removing the car's pollution from the environment. After that, it's quite reasonable.
While interesting, the obvious thing they seem to be leaving out is the performance comparison to a regular processor of similar complexity. I'm not trying to pit a 1152 qubit machines against one with trillions of transistors, it would just be nice to have some semblance of a comparison for the reader.
It's weird how Wikileaks was "just trying to get the information out there" and "serving the people" when they leaked information critical of a Republican, but now they're leaking information critical of Democrats, they're a "highly political organization" that's carefully timing their leaks. Or did you forget how Wikileaks came into being? When they leaked information about the Bush administration?
How dare you! How dare you make a well-formed argument on the internet, let alone Slashdot! You've become some sort of... civilian! Your civil manner and lack of froth emanating from your mouth is a disgrace to the barbarism we stand for! You're worse than literal slavery, you fascist! Even the Nazis wouldn't be so repugnant! #Internets;)
Just wanted to touch base and help you web 3.0'rs navigate this open architecture communication feed!

I'm saying a high-tech military machine cannot sustain itself on top of a low-tech, undeveloped economy..
They can if someone else provides them with the technology. It's exactly why there is an embargo!
You can't have a few smart people and a shitload of serfs in backwater west Africa support a high-tech, industrialized military machine
Umm... how many people do you think are technically inclined in your own nation's military? Sure, they can use the technology but they aren't anywhere at the level of actually developing it.
It's de-modernized now why?
It's not de-modernized, it just failed to keep up with modern technology because they've been embargoed. China cut themselves off from the world for a hundred years and they fell behind too despite having many highly intelligent people.
I do not believe you fully grasp the consequences of the indoctrination of otherwise intelligent individuals.
These aren't your dad's BMs, these are 16 high quality gold plated BMs. If I were ever going to get BMs from anyone, it would be from Dell. Dell's BMs are the best BMs on the market and let me tell you, there are a lot of BMs on the market. Even Microsoft put their BMs in a box and they can't even pay people to take them!;)
Features are great but standard compliance is what I'm interested in. That means getting all the nitty-gritty details right so that standards compliant code works with their compiler instead of whining about errors that don't exist.
Future released the self-titled FUTURE on Feb. 17. One week later, the artist then dropped a second album HNDRXX which is the new champion. What does it mean, though?
It mean's he's clumsy for dropping his own album just a week after finishing the first copy. Also, a week to make a second copy is just absurd. Microsoft should really fix that buffer underrun problem with CD burners.;)
Humans are by far the apex predator of this planet, so why not use that to poach the poachers? The "stick" method isn't doing nearly enough, so I think it's time to employ the "carrot" method for all the other humans. #GottaCatchEmBeforeTheyCatchEmAll
Every part in your car exponentially increases the chance of failure. Electric cars have significantly lower failure rates because they have significantly fewer parts. Not only that, when the new solid-state batteries that are nearing commercialization go into production, the battery damage issues and the runaway thermal reaction problems will be a thing of the past. It's good news for electric cars and anyone with a Samsung phone.;)
HDDs will die. If you want something that will last for many decades or even centuries without getting corrupted then you need to stop using a volatile filesystem. The best option is to go with write once media. The best option I know is M-DISC.
M-DISC's design is intended to provide greater archival media longevity.[3][4] Millenniata claims that properly stored M-DISC DVD recordings will last 1000 years.[5] While the exact properties of M-DISC are a trade secret,[6] the patents protecting the M-DISC technology assert that the data layer is a "glassy carbon" and that the material is substantially inert to oxidation and has a melting point between 200 and 1000 C.[7][8] -- Wikipedia
If you look at it rationally, you will see it's the best approach for getting the highest quantity of jailings versus the highest quality of cases. That seems like the most likely justification. This doesn't address whether they are doing more or less harm than good by withholding the information but I think their view should be obvious.
Just a few more pieces of automation and we can have farm field to home delivery fully automated. At that point, only processed foods and meat should cost money (or if you exceed a certain quantity).

If you are still using Windows 10 after all the terrible shit that's already come, you have earned this.
BUT, they still need the full complement of diesel generators for those times when the sun doesn't shine enough to keep the batteries charged.
Excuse me but are we talking about the same Hawaii?

Ridiculous taxes and exemptions will do that

We could be surrounded by alien data sand waiting to be discovered, except somebody vacuumed it up from the floor mats in their car and threw it out.
This is just retarded. Anyone storing data on something so incredibly volatile deserves to have their data destroyed.

Why restrict this at all?
Because North Korea is a cult and we've technically been at ware for then for many many decades.
The difference is technology.
Do you really think they are buying all this technology for their people and not for military use? If you do, you don't know North Korea.
Does that sound like the kind of blind, raving, fanatical population that would tolerate Kim Jong-Un?
So apparently you don't understand how cults work. Besides, you only need a few smart people in each sector to organize the other people.
Economic sanctions are an ineffective and dangerous way to handle undeveloped ratholes.
I agree. However, North Korea was actually quite modern before Kim II Sung declared war and created his cult nation.
Dell XPS 13 developer edition, Ubuntu, i7 processor, 16BM almost $1900. Yikes.

I know in the US the slang is to "drop an album" but I would much prefer if slashdot would use the more widely understood "pooped out an album". ;)

Now if they would just make it standards compliant and add basic endian macros, it would be even greater!

the fact that electricity to charge the cars likely comes from burning fossil fuels anyway
And you would be wrong! Even back in 2006, nationwide, about 30% of electricity is generated by non-fossil fuel sources. Though if were talking about just the state of New York, in 2013 it was greater than 50%.
