Do you really need to bequeath your blog to your next of kin? If you're talking to your family about funds and credentials, you're telling them 'here, I expect you to keep spending money forever on pointless sentimentality'. Keep a backup of the content, that's all.

But don't get me wrong; we should all be ready for our inevitable demise. I can't overestimate how important it is to prepare a will, insurance, a small untraceable account and a few years of queued posts offering a food tour of the afterlife.

You know, maybe they could find a way to automatically search text against a index of existing works.

Actually, they should contact Google—I hear they're good at it.

Indeed, other than the words '3D printing', why is this news? It's not exactly rocket science.

...ok, well, it kinda is

Benchmarks are a more 'sustained' CPU load than typical home/office use. If anything, I think these would feel faster than the tests imply. Not everyone spends their day compiling code or applying Photoshop filters. (What's wrong with them?)

The *program* lasted six years, but the majority of the money was paid back 2-3 years in. It kept ahead of inflation and bond rates, so a net win for taxpayers.

Not shabby at all, as bailouts go. Brilliant compared to Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac or the disaster that was the '80s S&L crisis.

Intel is slapping i5 (and i7) on some pretty slow chips these days...

Troll? What else would make a public utility monopoly change its ways?

I know my average has plummeted over the years; especially when I bought a second display, and then a third.

Fortunately, this year I may replace them all with a large 4k display and then I'll have a long attention span again.

To be fair, that's not what I'm worried about falling.

The capsule in this test is a dummy; the final Dragon v2 will steer and land with its own 'SuperDraco' engines.

Until security is in a less sorry state I doubt too many people will stand in line to have the Internet wired into their nervous system.

She can see the economy from her house!

Glad I wasn't the only one to immediately think of this.

All the major testing houses check for false positives alongside detections, but perhaps they decided more false positives would still look better on benchmarks than a lower detection rate.

I'd love if they could start a new company that pays royalties, Spotify-style, where it can, yet allows users to share rare or otherwise unavailable content as well. Because of the mess of regional rights ownership there will probably never a fully legal way to enjoy all music worldwide, so a gray market will always be necessary to fill the gaps.

In the meantime, I'll sing a song for them.
