Well that's a nice thought but even with the technical breakup with Ebay, Ebay is still not allowing other payment methods so I figure paypal will be around for a while yet.
I don't know why but anymore I have a hard time reading BS and when I read TFS I completely missed that they were saving power using thermostats and assumed that they were working on a sewage to energy plant and forgot to mention it in TFS.
As the only way you are going to get a citizen-fuelled power plant is if people give a shit.
I like having options every computer I work with on a day to day basis or I own has at minimum USB DVD multi recorder hanging on it if it happens to not have a ODD built in.
I don't use them a lot anymore but there is no cheaper method of giving files to people offline that's as easy to use and reliable.
I've never used a cd or dvd as a backup media aside from the os recovery discs you get to burn yourself because they aren't included with new PCs anymore.
I've got discs burned discs from 2004 that still read fine. I've been throwing a bunch of them away lately I didn't use to be very good at labeling my discs. Most of it is junk but I still have a few boot discs that I still use today. The current version of Gparted doesn't allow resizing certain partition types anymore. But the version I had laying in a drawer for the last 10 years works fine.
I have to mention yes this was 2 years ago but I feel it's relevant). Someone did a ask/. on how to build a network to handle google fiber without doing any modifications to the building.
He was planning on using a poweline adapters and wanted to know a better solution IIRC/. pretty much just said run a wire there is not any wireless solution that could handle those speeds.
Yeah i'm typing this from an AIO touch screen computer that's connected via wifi to the internet the router is only 10ft away but there has never been reason to run a wire no file transfers are done and the 802.11g is still faster than our 12Mbps dsl connection at that distance.
It's still going to be wired coming out of your cable/dsl modem or optical transceiver.
Someday it might be done 100% cellular but not as long as they insist on having an access charge for every device you own.
10GB of data is 10GB of data it doesn't (with current networks anyway) matter if I use it on one cell phone or 1000 IOT monitors I strapped to the trees outside to monitor their O2 production.
Oh it's an unlimited service?! I thought it was a service to let you play games you owned on a crappy computer that isn't powerful enough to run the games.
I was talking about bandwidth transfer not storage
Even if we were talking about storage $50/TB is still too high.
Without bothering to google anything They also offer a box with 10tb storage and 20tb transfer. something like $54/mo
If you just need the files backed up and not a full hd image I would go with something like backblaze $50/yr. per machine unlimited storage and transfer but no accessibility.
I personally don't care if they allow people to immigrate. However what I don't like is that we aren't doing an adequate job of enforcing the current laws.
Come on if you're going to live here illegally and drive without insurance you should not be given special haha can't touch me i'm an illegal privilege. Fine and or jail them like you would an american. Or if you're not going to punish them like you would an american why not ship them back out of the country?
Slashdot Mirror
The folks who built the car... That's already been decided.
That's a rather unusual layout the flip numpad looks like a kludge. Kinda like the usb number pad I use on laptops without number pads but more so.
So it has eye tracking is that why I don't see anything that looks like a touchpad on the Predator 21X?
Or does the eye tracking do something else?
How is this different than the pm of vBulletin or any of the other many sites that allow their users to pm each other?

Well its $1.50 a issue twice a month so I would assume that they operate with fairly high margins.
Other than that I don't know much about them.
I don't have the funds to travel to alaska so I look forward to watching a video of the tour someone puts on youtube.

Not any time soon.

A little would be requiring them to go through a firewall that only allowed connections to and from govt websites.
Cutting them off from the internet entirely is very excessive.
I'm not liking this two party system. It's always party over here! or party over there!
And neither party seems to care about anything other than how many people show up.
I have never understood how its cheaper to mail something from china to the us than it is to the building across the street.
Otherwise I am still waiting to see a robotic lawn mower in person.

Do you have something like this: http://www.okjailbirds.com/ in your state?
2.5TB seems reasonable for $70mo at 1Gbps. Although for $9.30 I can have a virtual server with 5TB of transfer at 1Gbps.
So its 1Gbps and then 5Mbps after the first 5GB? I could live with that.
Now we just need to work on the price per GB.

Where did you go to school? None i've been to paid anything.
Long hours lots of tests.
Homework just in case you thought you would have free time.
Zero pay. Or if we're talking college you get to pay them $50K for 4 years.
Seems to me like they teach it already.
I remember /. was breached twice several years ago. I haven't been here in several years so if there have been any since then I haven't heard.
