Add a keyboard and a file manager, and you basically come full circle with an OS that acts mostly as program loader/task switcher.
I want useful file management, and then maybe. The OS in the old day's was mostly the interface between the hardware and the application. I mostly use applications, not OS's so who cares.
I have read the popular press on this new story and it is unclear if they have just established a correlation or if there is causation. There other facts that might be correlated with high glyphosate use, and so correlation with the higher rates of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Presumably, the people who get this cancer tend to be field or farm hands that handle other herbicides and pesticides. I question if all these other cross interferences have been explored. And if there are other synergies what the level is. The work suggests it is high glyphosate exposure that is the issue. Monsanto/Bayer keeps messing with the ingredients in Roundup to keep patents and copywrites current and the money rolling in. The complete story hasn't been told yet.
Considering that the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth was 56.7 degrees, you're sitting somewhere else. If that's the alleged final destination of trolls who make completely out-of-topic posts, that place has not frozen yet. This is plausible considering that Elon Musk still has weird ideas, politicians still lie, everything seems to be going as usual.
Whoa, there. If Earth were really only 56.7 degrees, it would be a frozen hell already. I think you mean that the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth was 331.15.
Hmm, you said degrees, so you aren't talking K. I wonder which scale you are using?
Looks like at least this ISP no longer wants to be a common carrier and it does want to be responsible for all data on its lines. Looks like a trap to me.
I was a hotmail user long before Microsoft bought it, gmail didn't exist back then.
I kept using hotmail even after MS bought it, I really didn't give it much tought.
Suddenly hotmail asked me to enter my cellphone number that they would verify with a message, and I could not log in without this verification.
That's how I lost years worth of emails and why I will never use Microsoft services again.
They are going to ask me for what! Well I hope not, I may have to give up one of my burner accounts!
Also, Facebook isn't a 3rd party in this process, since their selection criteria for placing the ad allows their clients to select quite a large range of demographic markets for any and every ad that they place: age, nationality, race, gender, location (to more specific than zip code), education, favorite _____, etc. Also, they've already been charged with this type of discrimination before, so if they're still doing it, maybe we should see what happens when you imprison a corporation.
Not on facebook, but back when monster.com used to be a thing and people looked for jobs there- I remember lots of companies would have written down something along the lines of "must be born in the US to apply". This directly goes against the amendment that states that you can't discriminate against based on nation of origin.
I'd usually send them an email pointing this out, after which they would apologise and invite me to apply. Naturally, I wouldn't. I knew I wouldn't stand a chance after complaining about that... and wouldn't want to work for such a company anyway.
Ok, how about, must be eligible for a US Gov security clearance. The Government discriminates about non citizen constantly.
So, register all drones. What about guns? I don't see how the 2d Amendment prohibits gun registration (it talks about the right to "keep and bear" arms, not "keep and bear anonymously"), so if everyone has to register their drones, why shouldn't they have to register their guns?
What if I have a gun on my drone, will I still have to register it? Or would this be a violation of my rights to form a militia?
Folks,
Haven't you figured this out. The President is going to have a Mexican company build the wall, and then stiff them. Then they will have paid for it. It is how he operates.
If you want to drive electric cars, you'll need electricity.
Consider every time you charge your Tesla, 32-33% of that charge comes from coal, in the US.
Can't have it both ways.
Morons.
Well if you want to be precise, how about 30.4 % from coal. https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs..., at least for 2016. Expect it to be a little lower in 2017.
Hey, my SS card says it is not for identification. Past that we put to much weight in a social security number, particularly after the Equfax (and other unknown) security leaks. We need to have a way to verify it is us without an external (copy-able, steal-able) component. And not a dang implanted RFID chip. Are we back to passwords?
This is interesting stuff, but my question is, did they use this alternate trigonometry for anything. One alternative is some old crackpot in a Babylonian prison came up with this in his cell. Stamped it out on some old mud. The quest would be if they can find examples of these integer triangles used in construction. That would add a lot to the story. (Hmm, where do I find dimension drawings of some of their buildings accurate enough to test this?)
Are we talking The Evergreen State College in Olympia that was established while Gov Dan was in office to be an alternate progressive college? Are we complaining that it is what it was set up to be?
In 30 years of power plant engineering, this is no surprise to me. Coal gasification has been tried many times but it cannot pay for itself.
CO2 capture is just as bad. Stop screwing around and get on board with natural gas, nuclear, solar and wind. Dump coal and dump Trump.
Don't tell that part about gasification can't pay for itself to Eastman Chemical. They have been running a coal gasifier for years. They turn the CO into chemical products like plastics and others profitable products.
The South Africans also seem pretty good at using the Lurgi gasifiers for gasification.
How about a IBM green card, and I am not talking immigration. Useful for OS/360 opcodes, machine formats and punch card to decimal conversions. I still have one in my desk.
I wonder if they were using CCD's or CMOS for image devices rather than the old school vidicon tube. Plus I wonder if the vidicon would be more robust in a high radiation environment?
Slashdot Mirror
Boeing, in life support devices safety is part of the product, not a feature, is like selling a car without airbags or charging extra for the brakes.
Or school buses without seat belts
Think of the children!

I dunno. 16% of adults(23% for 18-34) in the US doesn't seem like an insignificant number of users.
Or in about 5 years the sales fall off a cliff because they have gotten good enough and everyone who wants one has one.

It's like restaurant-grade salt. Completely meaningless but at least meets the bare minimum.
Oh wow, where can I get restaurant-grade salt? This grocery salt just isn't good enough for me.

I removed Flash from my home computers some time ago. Now I only have access at work where it is a required application. (Boneheads.)
I'd mod this comment up. I think the end result will be Norway backs off on their requirement when no one comes up with the required product.
And "nasty" people can blow up factories using dogs! (but never cats, they are too lazy)

"My own surname is protected in the way that no person can change their surname to the same as mine without being born to the family, for example."
It's really cute that you think that.
But who would name their kid "nospam007"? so no worries.
That doesn't matter.

Thanks, I was looking for this comment. :)
Proof by example.
Are we talking The Evergreen State College in Olympia that was established while Gov Dan was in office to be an alternate progressive college? Are we complaining that it is what it was set up to be?

Yes I remember printing on band printer in college. I remember printing lines of underlines with a no CR (what was that, a "+" ?) :) noisy suckers.
Or produce solar at night.
You don't need nearly as much power at night, and if they go with solar thermal you get quite a bit of storage "for free."
True, Power companies typically have trouble selling excess energy produced during the night.
Or control the weather.
It's Arizona. They basically have two types of weather; Sunny and Night. =Smidge=
Where I come from we have two types of weather, rain and night ... we all hate you.
Sigh, where I come from we have two types of weather, rain and rain at night, you lucky dogs
