How much have we gained!? Notice how much he talks about "working" when he has time aka "furiously posting on forums and writing emails".
I can't believe I read that overly verbose nonsense. He writes about people wasting his time with formalities, but his rider is a waste of time with all that verbiage.
This. This is why we can't have nice things.
Those purposes are already legal? Well, then my health insurance is already breaking the law.
Ignoring the oxygen deprivation, I'm not sure anyone riding that coaster would be the same again, anyway.
Tech companies are just giving consumers what we want - less complexity. Perhaps our government is, as well. Scary.
Your post is very informative. I think I see an obvious solution from what you've posted.
Most industrialized countries don't have access the the abundant geothermal resources Japan has (due to their location on the edge of the "ring of fire").
On demand energy storage can be in the form of batteries, super capacitors, gravity reservoirs (e.g. pump water uphill to a reservoir during periods of excess generation, release it through turbines when needed), etc.
Let's use the ground as a battery and then geothermal to recapture it!
Let's make our own "ring of fire"!!!! It worked for Johnny Cash.
I believe WebOS had sufficient Android compatibility, at least on the tablet. I think this is a smart move for HTC - they can finally differentiate themselves and control their own destiny. For a while during the Windows Mobile/early iPhone era, they were kind of screwed.
And their forums are an awesome resource.
I recently made a 'quiet-ish' gaming HTPC. It has all top-of-the-line hardware in a smaller form-factor case (antec nsk24800). I had to mod the case, the VGA card, and the heatsink to get everything fitting and decently cooled. Was it worth it? Probably not... but it makes the geek in me happy. My final build photos are here: http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=62147
Indeed. He said that drinking helps. So working causes him to drink...
Still not caring all that much. Google+ is keeping Facebook in line.
They can have them. Who cares? Particularly, who on Slashdot cares?
Getting rid of crappy facebook applications is actually doing the opposite of evil. Google is doing Good here. Thanks Google!
Mandriva 2011 supports KDE only, no GNOME mess here.
I'm a huge Mandriva fan. I've been using it for 8+ years in some way or another. And I'm also a huge Gnome fan.
Will I hate my life if I try to stick with Mandriva + Gnome? Am I better off switching distros?
Solution: Use Objective C. It's a better language. It makes more sense. It has a better design philosophy. There is usually only one or two correct ways to do something, rather than C++ where you have a million options and a hundred third party libraries and each has its own object model.
People have enough crap that they play with instead of paying attention to the road, now they're going to be swiping through multiple cards on their in-dash systems looking for things while careening down the highway? Wonderful....
My 2009 "luxury" car has a terrible UI where the radio should be. If the next generation has good software, I'd be more than happy. What I would like to see, though, are touch screens in the middle of the steering wheel so you don't have to turn your head to navigate through the menus. People are going to do this anyway, so may as well make it less dangerous.
An adequate bootstrap is a contradiction in terms.
