As things are with Google, this will remain a half-finished work in progress, be incredibly clunky, and then be abruptly discontinued for no good reason. That's how Google operates with everything else other than their ad revenue, so I expect this to be half-assed as well.
I could not disagree more. Google goes to great lengths to make something reliable and usable, sometimes spending years getting everything just right. Then they discontinue and bury it...
OK, calm down. It's going to be all right. First, do you keep your cell phone in your back pocket? If so, please move it before the microphone gets plugged up...
None of it is plausible. You space nutters with your "antimatter fuel" nonsense. You can't travel near the speed of light. We know that from basic Physics. How are you going to travel "a few thousands light years"?
Well, it's an older, advanced race that moved to a younger star over a long period of time. And I think the irregularly dimming light can be simply explain by the same set of facts... Old people driving with their turn signals on all the time and hitting the brakes randomly for no apparent reason...

Oh Dear Lord He's RIGHT!!! http://scaleofuniverse.com/ Oh, Flash Required... Bwahahahaha... Seriously, putting Quantum Foam at the lowest level was a nice touch, but had they looked more closely they would have seen that the foam is made of turtles...
But it's only the Anniversary Update of Windows 10 causing the Kindle problem. The vast majority of systems not running Win10 by now will never run it. Yes, other versions of Windows will go away as they EOL, but Win10 is not as prolific as they would like you to think. As machines do EOL (OS wise), I try to get the user to check out Zorin, as an easy transition away from WinAnything... but it's not always smooth sailing getting people to learn new software. I'm really hoping Android x86 takes hold and blooms, as most people are familiar with it already.
You think that's bad, TFS went from "a flurry" to "a handful" in a heartbeat and I want to see the conversion chart on that! Don't mind me, I read the RSS headline as "Intel Launches Furry of 3D NAND-Based SSDs..." and was disappointed when the story turned out to be something else entirely...
Happy Birthday
Now you've reached the age you are
your demise can not be far
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Doom and Gloom and dark despair
Death and dying everywhere
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
cities burning in your wake
burn like candles on your cake
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday...
Jeez, I'll pay the copyright to Warner/Chappell for the other song... even though I don't have to... On the up side you could use the song above to end the practice of food servers singing to people in restaurants!
Are you the person that sent that "Help, I'm trapped in series of progressively worsening movies!" text? Seriously, when I try to explain actual privacy issues to my friends, I come to the conclusion that I need some brighter friends...
I'm with you there. I have an LG Mach I just dread parting with... I even found a split case at Amazon so the slide out keyboard has a case as well as the display. I'm going to have to go to rooting the phone at some point, just to update the thing.
Stop the Windows Update service before you run one of these as it can just stall out if you don't.
I guess the thing to do now is move all user doc folders to a NAS and restore the user machines from images on a regular basis. I too would like a list of MS IP addresses, mainly because telemetry...
This would be a great time for the Android x86 guys to shine. What a bunch of asshats up there in Redmond!
Given that he's talking about ice dams forming and currently doing roof damage with a rake, I don't think a broom will cut it in upstate New York. I have used brooms to clear snow from TV satellite dishes, but not in that type of climate. I'm thinking you would need an A-frame type roof for a solid solar roof at that latitude...
These are not bio-weapons, or anything of that sort. These are tools built on flaws in existing hardware and software. Now that they will be getting into the wild, there should be a round of mitigation from responsible manufacturers and coders. And the ones that don't fix their issues should be notable by the absence of patches and/or the folding of the company... This is a never ending thing. We just got alerted that people we may not worry about too much (ymmv) lost some tools to people we do worry about, so let the repairs begin! As to what is mortally perilous, these things were already being used, maybe against you. At least you know now that they are out there, and they were poorly guarded...
How do you deal with snow on and around your existing solar panels? Not every climate will be suitable for this type of product, just as some locations are a poor place for an outdoor swimming pool, aluminum awning, etc.. Some products have adaptations, like heaters for TV dishes, but I don't think I'd want to heat my roof...

Is that due to saliva or, ahhh, other body fluids?
A friend of mine wants to know...
Not just misleading, but plain wrong.
It's not a rootkit and it's not Pokemon-themed.
How about: "Linux malware gets named for Pokemon"
Dammit what am I gonna do with all these t-shirts I had printed!

Look, it's time to face the facts.
Lucy was pushed and this "Jack" needs to be 3D printed and brought in for questioning!
Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.
Sure, but then they end up hiring "RALPH" THE WONDER LLAMA...

I just shit Richard Stallman's pants! (Maybe he shoulda used a password?)
He did, but who's not going to try "zipper"?
I'm a moderate... I believe in "The Pretty Good Pumpkin"...
Win 10 is no where near the top OS, it just beats XP by 6%...

But I agree this is a valid story and that not playing nice with a Kindle is a major screw up.
...Sometimes I feel like Neo in The Matrix.

I only watch audio books written in braille.
3D!
Nice...
Where do they expect to find two million blockchain-coin users who want to watch and who are also willing to pay?
I'll wait for the audio book...
I too have had new machines or fresh W7 installs that don't update. The best luck I've had is installing KB3102810

So... this is just two dudes in a cow costume and one of them is Charlie Brown?

Good question. We could end up with a world record batch of Bouillabaisse!
