The last thing I want to read about on a technology web site is politics and global warming nonsense. I personally am carbon negative with my solar panels and electric car. That doesn't mean I want to read about every idiot's plan to tax and spend and go technologically backwards to "fix" an already paused state of global warming. Lets keep slashdot to nerd-worthy stories...

We've saved even more money by having wildly inaccurate and dire predictions that didn't pan out. Think of all the money we saved by not having increased hurricanes, $12.99 gallon milk, $9/gallon gas, and New York City flooding... The real miracle would be to find a circa 2000 prediction of global warming that was even moderately accurate.

Expect 24/7 operation in 30 years.

How many suicides and divorces and single-parent homes will this lead to...

I got woken up by the windows reboot chime this morning. When I logged in this morning, my 2560x1600 screen was in double vision.. Found the change resolution page and that failed to restore it.. was getting a little worried.. luckily a reboot fixed it.

I would have been ticked if it hadn't come up.. But that goes with any big upgrade. But generally I'm happy with W10. All my apps seem to work (including low-level networking apps like Wireshark.)

BitTorrent is built into a lot of NAS systems, which are exclusively Linux. Same with the thousands of BT hosting services that people use to "download documentaries".

Really.. Name some who have done more... in this decade.

He is a journalist illustrating a point. His traveling legally after exposing obvious flaws in our border security is no reason to detain him. It is simple harassment designed to intimidate him and others like him.

Exactly. And he is a member of the press who the government is trying to harass for pointing out the obvious flaws on the Mexican and Canadian borders. This is a pretty clear violation of the first amendment.

James O'Keefe, a right-wing investigative journalist gets detained at every opportunity.

Another blatant case of government employees trying to get even with people they don't agree with.

"It's ironic someone who has been driven around in a limo for the past 30 years is giving ride sharing advice.

Hillary Clinton just chided the sharing-economy which is boosted by services such as Lyft, Uber, and Airbnb. We must advocate for innovation and disruption and need to support increased choice which leads to lower prices for all Americans."

The warning should be "Disabling Java in your preferred browser is the recommended course of action".

But even that might be more than you need. My FireFox always asks if I want to allow Flash or Java to run on any new site.. Another dialog comes up to display the code signing details. This seems pretty safe.

That said, the code signing and sandboxing situation for Java IS a holy mess.

This is crazy. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i... (OK, its fake... but won't be long until one gets sucked into an engine.)

Yes his free business model was doomed to fail. Take away lesson: Avoid employer hostile countries from the get go. Outsource as much development to companies like odesk or freelancer.com where you have insulation from draconian labor laws.

To suggest he is a cry-baby is silly. Every business owner or CEO will be emotionally attached to the success and failure of the company.

While a cash-poor company is more susceptible to failure, ALL companies will fail if there is a significant unexpected loss of cash. Defending lawsuits, real or frivolous is extraordinarily expensive. Lessons were learned, and wisdom is being imparted.
