Thank you.

I was a bit worried about how far down I had to scroll to find this.

There are many other sources for combustable fuels that don't divert part of the food production infrastructure./pr>

Sadly, there doesn't seem to be a lot of pressure to put much effort into developing them. Seems that the pressure is mostly in the direction of "just keep doing what we have been doing".

My son started using Scratch when he was about 10.
He saw someone else using it at school and asked me to install it at home, then he basically taught himself to program simple games in it.

Lately, he has been creating mods for Minetest, again entirely on his own (researching the file format, reading the project Wiki, dissecting other user's Mods, etc)

I have a bunch of Python resources standing by for when he wants to take another step up.

And how, exactly, is that helpful if you get robbed while you are not at home?

Like OP already was?

You have, however, improved the armament of the thieves.

And the 911 service still works on them
Unlikely.
Those old transportables would have been AMPS phones, and there is no network remaining on the air (in North America, that I am aware of)that still supports that ancient standard.

They still are big users of uni-directional paging.
It's lack of location awareness is seen as a signifigant benefit in their business sector.

Maybe there are some ases that he hasn't thought of, and he wants to get some other input?

I notice that printing isn't mentioned. Can a tablet print to a network printer? Or to a USB printer, assuming the tablet can do USB host? ?

If your granny is doing any amount of typing, a bluetooth (or USB) keyboard would be amost mandatory, I'd think. I can't stand typing more than a few words at a time on the virtual keyboard.

What features does a mail client need that the existing ones don't already have?
I'd rather have a relatively lean (read fast) client that performs it's core function very well, rather than a monstrosity that does a thousand things in a kinda half-assed way.

Pretty much this.
The only relevant shows to my industry are held in other countries, and my boss won't send anyone below executive level. I certainly can't afford the trip + registration fees out of my own pocket.

For me, a higher priority would be to have these streaming services actually exist in my country.
I think that would do more for these artists to promote their music to a wider audience.

3) there are very few ways/places to spend bit coins.
And, that's really the purpose of a currency, inn't it? To allow people to exchange units of the currency for goods and/or services.

I was certain that the porn industry would be the first "killer app" that would bring 3D printing out of the workshops and into the hands (etc...) of the general public.
There is certainly precedent.
Though, I suppose humans being what we are, that finding new exciting ways to use technology to kill each other isn't much of a surprise.

It'll probably cycle back to local after a couple of cloud music services go bankrupt, and take a bunch of pre-paid songs/listens/months with them.

That's what they are hoping for.

Meanwhile, I think the proper response should be "show some actual evidence to support your allegation or STFU". Specifically, the kind of evidence that would be required to obtain a legitimate search warrant.

Is that my first, middle or last name?
Or is my favourite comic character's real name?
Or maybe the area of England where one of my ancestors came from?

And, yes Mr anonymous (or are you) I do use this username in other places (other recreational spaces only), but none have my real name attached to them. Nor anything that relates to my family or my profession.
