Put your phone in an aluminum foil pouch. (See Faraday cage) Take it out to check messages/make calls.

The Supreme Court that says you can't sue if you can't prove you've been spied on and and FISA says you can't find out.

Population is over 80,000.

It''s great conference - I've driven up from Seattle a couple times. In addition to Linux talks there are talks about languages and projects people are doing on Linux. One year I went to a talk by a guy who was writing a book on early computers (EDVAC I think)

About twenty years ago people were writing malware mostly because they could. I was working on a well known (at the time) product and one day someone joked that we write a virus that targeted our main competitor's product. This led to a serious discussion of what could happen if a team like ours of about 25 experienced professional programmers started writing viruses. It was not a pretty picture.

We now live in this world with Stuxnet/Flame/etc. It is even scarier now than it was tthen.

If you've read one Stallman interview you've read them all.

... with new and better bugs? Just what I always wanted - not.

Stop moaning about the Government and:
Close Facebook and Twitter accounts
Start using PGP (and, if necessary, Tor)

Boeing did this 6 years ago.

Considering RIM's small and declining market share hard to see how this helps.

This is old but still relevant.

Dear Red States,

We've decided we're leaving. We intend to form our own country, and
we're taking the other Blue States with us.

In case you aren't aware, that includes Hawaii, Oregon,Washington,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast. We
believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially
to the people of the new country of New California.

To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states.
We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get Elliot
Spitzer. You get Ken Lay.

We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood.

We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom.

We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss.

We get 85 percent of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You
get Alabama.

We get two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to make the red states
pay their fair share.

Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the
Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a
bunch of single moms.

Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and
anti-war, and we're going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at
once. If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They have
kids they're apparently willing to send to their deaths for no
purpose, and they don't care if you don't show pictures of their
children's caskets coming home. We do wish you success in Iraq, and
hope that the WMDs turn up, but we're not willing to spend our
resources in Bush's Quagmire.

With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80 percent
of the country's fresh water, more than 90 percent of the pineapple
and lettuce, 92 percent of the nation's fresh fruit, 95 percent of
America's quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners)
90 percent of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most
of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and
condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools, plus Harvard, Yale,
Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT.

With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88
percent of all obese Americans (and their projected health care
costs), 92 percent of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100 percent of the
tornadoes, 90 percent of the hurricanes, 99 percent of all Southern
Baptists, virtually 100 percent of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh,
Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia.
We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.

Additionally, 38 percent of those in the Red states believe Jonah was
actually swallowed by a whale, 62 percent believe life is sacred
unless we're discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44 percent say
that evolution is only a theory, 53 percent that Saddam was involved
in 9/11 and 61 percent of you crazy bastards believe you are people
with higher morals then we lefties.

By the way, we're taking the good pot, too. You can have that dirt
weed they grow in Mexico.

Peace out,
Blue State

Ever seen a garage workshop with tools hanging on hooks on pegboard? Get that, rest your cabling on the hooks, attach said cabling to hooks with twist ties or velcro loops. Problem solved.

Linux doesn't play nicely with the Retina display :)

Weight - solar cells add weight. The huge electric motors to generate >10,000 horsepower would weigh a lot.

Nighttime - they'd sit on the ground all night.

Density of solar power - ~1 KW per square meter at the earth's surface, ~750 watts per horsepower to get 10,000 horsepower you'd need a square array ~85 meters on a side. That assumes 100% efficiency of cells and motors.

Not happening any time soon.
