... basically, what American Colonists were rebelling against in the first place. . . then adopted.

He's not joking.

Open emacs.
Type the command "xdoctor".

Best part: no copay.

The reason why it's so cheap:
We all pay a shitload of taxes to fund wars to conquer lands where we're extracting the stuff.
We don't pay for destroyed habitats, and climate change (yet) from waste, spills, and other pollution. (basically, we're borrowing from the future generations who will suffer directly from these problems).

When compared, as an energy source, with something like solar pv, factoring these hidden costs in, gasoline is astronomically expensive.

With the galaxy gear 2, it's just a speakerphone (bluetooth). So it doesn't really matter how you hold it. If it's a situation where I can't speakerphone, I just pull out my actual phone.

Yes.

At it's root, the problem is that the product manager is not familiar with real engineering practices, and does not have the ability to plan a project lifecycle beyond; 1. code features, and 2. get paid. Too bad it's the industry standard.

In general, economists are not well known for recusing, or otherwise following ethical practices which are standard in other fields. The least ethical, are the ones at the top, and those are the people who run our economy. And this is why we can't have nice things.

lol. Also the same wonderful people who brought us Zyklon B.

Just develop a pill that "cures" female aversion to bald (or balding) men.

Problem solved.

This is really about how older people are experienced to know a boondoggle when they see one. (Example:the cloud, and how it's basically about trying to take control from the user and seeking rent). Older people don't buy into the bullshit and get off my lawn, and thus are seen as not wanting to embrace new technology. Its not that you can't teach an old dog new tricks, it's that the old dog knows that it's all a bunch of crap

But sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar.

Security researcher and Tor developer, Andrea Shepherd, found something fishy:

It was just a political stunt to try to appeal to nationalist sentiment. Probably ill-considered, and we would not have seen it if there weren't presently political tensions. Whether Musk won or not, he got some publicity out of this.

Most of these acquisitions are really about marketshare, and killing-off competition. When there is market-overlap, the purchasing company is buying that marketshare - and a certain percentage of those customers will abandon it; but some will stay. The abandoners will not likely go to a single (biggest) competitor, but often be scattered, which makes the purchasing player stronger as top-dog. When there is no overlap, it's usually for the purpose of keeping other companies who are nearby in the marketplace, from getting too big and bridging over. They'll talk the talk about "synergy" (which usually means, trying to bundle semi-related products as a suite, to vertically integrate) - but this is usually bullshit.

Source: been through three of these "mergers". Symantec is the devil.

all of that other shit is just pie-in-the-sky garbage.

The only proven method is a cap-and-trade.

We know this, because it worked with chloroflourocarbons.

What is less-certain, is if the carbon we've already released, hasn't already done irreversible damage.

.... develop a display panel which ONLY emits IR (not visible light).

Mount such display panel adjacent to your license plate.
Connect display to computer which outputs randomly-generated license plate numbers, every half second.
Result: Scanners "see" hundreds of different plate ID's, among your own.
Data collection foiled.
No Laws Broken.
