How do solar panels catch on fire? Too much sunlight?

That's like saying you're going to remove all the dumbwaiter functionality form the bay window in the sitting room. WTF was it there in the first place, when there are other things that do the job much better?

I don't use the jack directly on my work laptop, I use the jack on the docking station for my laptop at work. I don't generally use the one on my personal laptop at home, because I have much better sound reproduction equipment available in my home. I do use the one on my mobile phone, in case I want to listen to anything on the go.

There are few places where subscriptions are the right way to go... like subscribing to the feeds your firewall vendor has for threat definitions and botnet blacklists etc.. Adobe is a good example of where it's absolutely, horribly, terribly WRONG for them to sell their software as SaaS and for customers to tolerate using it that way. Adobe's products like Lightroom and Photoshop absolutely do not need to have the latest up-to-date version of the software. For people who use it all day every day... it MIGHT be worth it to have a subscription.. but probably not. I've been running the same version of Photoshop since just before the went subscription-only on it. I've been running the same version of Lightroom since then, too. I've not needed anything beyond that. I did have to make a small concession, and switch from using Pentax's proprietary raw image format (PEF) to the DNG raw format.. that was a menu setting in my camera. For a hobbyist, there's no way spending tons of money each month is less expensive than spending a few-hundred once every several years, and even professionals, once they have a tool set that works for them, really just don't need new features on a weekly or monthly basis. and then there's the problem of falling on difficult financial times... where you can't afford that monthly subscription on the correct day of the month.. and it puts you out of business because you suddenly can't get your work done. and then there's how much of your copyrighted data ends up in Adobe's hands.. probably under a license that says they can do whatever they want with it. (I've not read their full T&C's, but I bet it's there.) Their whole creative cloud model is an evil money-grab as far as I'm concerned. So.. for me this question needs to be asked on a case-by-case basis. Many of the subscriptions out there are just stupid, and some few make a lot of sense. If there were protections against losing use of the software, and just not getting any more updates, that would be a lot easier to stomach.

I write tons of bash scripts, and my variables are always uppercase, as it makes it easier to see that they are variables. Sometimes variable names can get a bit lengthy, if you make them even remotely descriptive. Having to hold down the shift keys, and hunt & peck, when I could use the CAPS LOCK, and touch-type, would slow me WAYYYYYY down in my work, and increase the likelihood of typographical errors. So.. don't you dare touch my feckin' caps lock key! It's not like I keep it on all the time and YELL AT EVERYONE!

I want it for my nVidia Shield like LAST WEEK!!!! :)

Don't threaten.... DO!

I guess the boring company really is boring while doing its boring.

Good riddance to bad rubbish!

So, people with LED televisions & monitors are damaging their vision over time? That's pretty uncool!

Wow! That means their costs for storage just plummeted! They're going to save a crapload of cash due to this "mistake" !!!

It sounds like this man was planning to fake his own death & disappear. Are they sure, I mean REALLY REALLY sure, that he's dead & not living it up in the Bahamas?

Since Microsoft took it over, yes, it sucks bigtime. Although.. the worst thing about it is all the people who just send connection requests to everyone. There is no value in your list of connections if none of them KNOWS you and your abilties. There is no value to having a connection who knows nothing about your professionally, and you provide no value to them if you don't know them and their abilities professionally... but like on social media, a lot of people treat it as a "contest" to see who has the most connections. I have a feeling a lot of people think that MORE connections means more likelihood of getting hired etc.., rather than having good quality connections who can vouch for your ability and knowledge due to experience working with you.

Federal, State & Local government aren't fined or charged when someone shoplifts a slice of pizza, then uses ROADS to get away from the scene. Why would the provider of the virtual "road" that infringers use be fined or charged? There's very little difference.

What happens when they have something in their office that is worth a criminal chopping off an employee's hand to get the chip?
