  1. Re:Stop using lithium! on Elon Musk's SolarCity Offering To Build Cities, Businesses Their Own Grids · · Score: 1

    In order to save my hope for humanity, I assume they do not actually believe what the oil companies pay them to say.

  2. Re:OMFG on Steve Wozniak Now Afraid of AI Too, Just Like Elon Musk · · Score: 2

    Accountants are still very much in demand. I worked in the energy sector recently, and they have buildings full of accountants taking care of lease and partner payouts from wells and pipelines. My brother's wife is a CPA, and she finds it impossible to be unemployed. As soon as it is even rumored that she may be out of work a line forms at the door to beg her to go work for them.

  3. So what if AI is above us? on Steve Wozniak Now Afraid of AI Too, Just Like Elon Musk · · Score: 1

    You have to ask yourself- if mankind is better off for it, why would it matter if we are no longer the top dog on the planet?

    BIODEGRADABLE --- in 300pt font across the entire object

    only in UV light --- in .0000015 point font on the bottom, on back, half covered by a seam, color matched to the material.

    That's why. they are pushing them as biodegradable but not being very forthcoming on the limitations of that ability.

    Because it still works would be my guess. Why buy a replacement when the one you have is perfectly good?

    My emergency kit in the car has a plastic poncho from DisneyWorld. It is very bright yellow and highly visible. So what if it happens to have Goofy on it. I have not been to DisneyWorld since 1992.

  6. Re:Recycle and bioplastics on Some Biodegradable Plastics Don't Live Up To Their Claims · · Score: 4, Interesting

    We had to separate glass, plastics, and paper. The a truck comes around and dumps all three bins and the garbage cans in to the same trash truck without any form of separator.

    And to induce more rage- they won't pick it up if it is not sorted properly.

    My reaction, at first. Then i thought about the US calling it 'China Syndrome" and why it is called that.

    I was disappointed when they took all the desktop and server OS out of DreamSpark. That was a great source of licenses for virtual machine learning environments.

    Out of curiosity, how or why does it fail? UAC issues or drivers?

  11. Re:Free market will sort it out on Evolution Market's Admins Are Gone, Along With $12M In Bitcoin · · Score: 1

    In order for a black market to exist you have to have prohibition. If all prohibition is removed, then no black market exists.
    Of course, that cannot happen. Some things need to be prohibited.

  12. Why was the EV1 killed the way it was? on Ask GM's Exec. Chief Engineer For Electric Vehicles Pam Fletcher a Question · · Score: 1

    Seriously, a line of test vehicles that every test driver loved and wanted to buy- likely the best test run of a vehicle model ever. All gathered up and destroyed, including millions in litigation to force the lease owners to abandon their purchase option.

    Such actions reek of covering something up. So, statute of limitations is over. Spill the beans. Why?

  13. Re:Could be promising on 3D Audio Standard Released · · Score: 1

    I absolutely loved my A3D card. I was sad when SB bought them out then killed the line. It was a very promising technology.

  16. Re:As expected since they are large companies. on Twitter Will Ban Revenge Porn and Non-consensual Nudes · · Score: 1

    You seriously need to learn what "liberals" means. It is not a generic curse, like "asshole" or "fuckwad". It has actual meaning. Your constant misuse of it makes you look ignorant.

    If you cannot see that only applying it to female pictures is unfair, then there is no hope for you at all.

    Step 1 of a pentest- a contract that clearly defines your limits and criteria of the pentest.

  21. Re:Just get Kali Linux, it is set up for Pen Testi on Ask Slashdot - Breaking Into Penetration Testing At 30 · · Score: 1

    It is better to set up a virtual server with a wide variety of images in a wide variety of stages of secure. One decent hardware server can run it and hold 4 or 5 images live during testing.

    I have hundreds of images in all states of secure- from a heavily STIGed and locked down DoD Server 2008R2 Gold Image to a base unpatched install of Server 2000 with IIS6 for Windows server testing. Same with OS including Mac and linux builds. Cisco images are also important. It does you no good to know the OS if you can't get past the firewall or navigate the network.

    Reagan and the NRA started the whole gun control craze when the Black Panthers started open carry demonstrations teaching black people how to protect themselves. They pushed for and passed the California gun control laws you hate so much to try and disarm blacks.
