Once we're all paying "by the byte" for metered service, that is.
>> Apple co-founder..."Galaxy Gear...worthless"
Hmmm...I read that as "Apple insider says Google device bad." And...you were expecting?
More like a computer- generated robocall.
Besides, your doctor or hospital would probably prefer that you acquire an expensive long-term health condition that requires a lot of billable and reimbursable outpatient labor. They just don't want to see you walk in the door without private health insurance.

No, your STEM undergrad degree, dumbass.
From TFA: "Webber excluded from his sample people with postgraduate training."
>> What the hell for?
To consolidate the industry..so where there were 100's of thousands of ISPs in the late 1990s, we'll soon be down to just a handful. Think of GoDaddy...times ten.

schwit1, are you one of POTUS's speechwriters in your day job?
>> In the modern world, all wars are dumb
Unless they lop off chunks of the Ukraine. Or depopulate chunks of rival territory in Bosnia. Or expand tribal influence over oil-rich parts of Iraq. Or...
(Long story short, there are still some pretty evil dudes in "the modern world.")
This essay's also a good introduction to the role of trade in precipitating war (e.g., "lost trade" doesn't necessarily reduce chances of war):

>> A weapon can seem like an amazing invention, but it still has to adapt to all sorts of conditions--budgetary, politics, and people's plain bias
I actually read TFA, and it seems like each one of these "amazing inventions" would have let someone fight the last war...a little bit better...with an incremental weapons system that would have taken a lot of resources to develop. In retrospect, it seems the right call was made to kill ALL of these systems. In fact, if there's a lesson to be learned here, its that American superiority since WWII has depended on us jumping on the right trend at the right time (e.g., carriers instead of battleships, ICBM's instead of fast bombers, missle delivery aircraft instead of dogfighters, etc.). It will be interesting to see if we moved into robotics at the right time (or if large stealth was ever worth it) when we look back in thirty years...
odd that an actual paper trail was allowed to be released...wonder who forgot the degausser this time?
Hmmm...posted to SlashDot...on a Friday night.
>> can you openly criticize your government. If the answer is yes then congratulations, you don't live in a dictatorship
And if a government body (like the IRS) singles your group out for harrassment (like auditing the hell out of all your associates) after critizing the government, then "yes, you can" live in a dictatorship too.
Um...is anyone on Slashdot still on Facebook? Can't think of the last time anyone I work with went there...
>> anyone who has handled email admin for a big business knows they have email "retention polices" where they explicitly delete all email older than X days...to preemptively destroy evidence that might be used against them...
He's right. Here's a typical article relaying that point from last month:
