So this is click-bait, people are going to think these sponges do passive electrolysis.
Well, I suppose the sponges need to be used for something, since the cold-fusion thing didn't pan out.
I need crowdfunding so I can quit my day job and become a sculptor, but it's a chicken-and-egg problem because no one will chip in until they at least see one of my works. Obviously this is a fundamental problem with crowdfunding!
For that $59 refund you can get a five year old computer at RE-PC and put whatever operating system you want on it. The growth curve on clock speed and such has pretty much flattened out, and PCs that came with Vista or XPSP3 installed are quite serviceable.
Here's why ChromeOS (and Chrome and Chromiumn) is not idiotic: I'm tired of having to install the latest Flash player just so the ads don't crash the whole shooting match. So to hell with it, I have a Chromebox attached to the living room TV for Youtubes and Netflixes, let Google keep the thing updated. If I install 7 on something, I get Firefox and DON'T add Flash. Life is good. For Slashdot I use Lynx since there's no pictures anyway, it's faster, loads ALL the comments on one page, and has a much smaller RAM footprint.
If you can't move files off your phone, file a Freedom of Information Act and make the NSA give you a copy of their copy of your file. After all, it's a Windows phone.
I don't hate Windows. I saw the screenshots for Windows Nein on a German site today. Objectively, it should be called Windows 8.2 by the looks of it. So it's just something that bores me, not something to hate.
So if everything is just Windows, that's going to turn tech support into a major Charlie Foxtrot. "Exactly what Microsoft product are you complaining about today, sir?" "Uh...Windows."
Exoplanets are everywhere and the astronomers keep jacking up all our classic science fiction novels set in the neighborhood by revealing the actual layout of the systems...
And yet I can fit a fully working linux distro on a CD.
I can fit a fully working Puppy Linux live 'stro on a 204 megabyte 8cm CD, with room to spare to install a hunnert meg of Debian or Slackware apps and remaster. And the sweet thing about it is Puppy runs entirely in RAM, so I can pull the boot CD out and play movies. I don't even have to install libdvdcss like I have to do on Ubuntu, it's already done
Now the definition on wikipedia seems to pretty much include ANY vulnerability that hasn't been patched. So by definition ALL vulnerabilities are "zero day" until the vendor releases a patch... so therefore to add the "zero day" adjective in this context is meaningless...
And a "new" zero day at that. That's a relief, it could have been an old one.
IMHO, the sucky part is that unless the story arc skips ahead as many years, the by-now old/wrinkle-bound actors are going to look really out of place...
Doesn't alleviate the headache of fully checking your compiler's source code to make sure it doesn't do anything nefarious in select circumstances.
If you search the comments in the source code for the text "nefarious" or "evil" you probably won't catch it. But if you can spot an obfuscated system call handing out permissions like candy then you might have better luck.
So having millions of machines running unpatched XP, and then telling the Americans to go fuck themselves by banned a supported OS... isn't that a bit like cutting off your nose to spite your face?
It's a communist plot. China asked Mr. Softie to please support WinXP past April 8 because it runs on 70% of the PCs over there, and Mr. Softie said no, so this just retaliation, like when China cut off oil to the Norks for a few months for lighting off a nuke. But it's not really going to hurt Mr, Softie very much, because finding an actual licensed copy of Windows in China is like finding an unwokked house cat.
When you're talking about people's lives at stake, and lobbing enormous explosive devices around, minimizing people's hours and maximizing the profit isn't necessarily the best answer.
The evil capitalist profit incentive has gone a long way toward making the chances of dying in a plane crash approach the probability of winning a lottery. If an airline lost the entire plane on the twenty-fifth flight ala Challenger, and again on the 113th flight ala Columbia there'd be a lot of empty seats.

There's no sharp boundary between the plain and Mt. Sharp.
So you want the justice to be less arbitrary...like when they rule something is obscenity? "I know it when I see it."

That makes my little Chromebox that much more awesome. Redmond be very afraid.

Lithium is no longer available on credit.
We should be able to get a reading of the shield up or down. How can Earth be jamming unless they know we're...coming?
Britain is full of savages, who also happen to be Muslims, only they don't call them that, they call them "Asian militants".

It's more like, "Discovery, this is Houston, you have twenty minutes to get in your flare shelter and spin down HAL's hard drive. Out."
You're my only hope.

Its already been stated that 7 takes place 30 years after Jedi.
Thirty Earth years? What?

The ACA was pushed down Republicans' throats, for sure. Americans in general, however, supported it to various extents.
Sure. And that's why every Donk who wants to retain their seat in November is running away from the ACA as fast as their little legs can carry them.

They "DO WORK" when it comes to space. WTF are WE doing? Sitting around, remembering the good-old-days while NASA fine-tunes its diversity statement.
Meanwhile the USA is building up quite a portfolio of images from the surface of Mars and shit. Russia's got a gig driving a space limousine.
