So it's super-efficient and all... if you intend to move no farther than 10 ft forward.

For greater distances, you could, say, keep the balloon constantly inflated with some kind of pump. And then, to save unnecessary weight and complication, you could do away with the balloon and let the pump shoot out the back of the vehicle directly.

I shall call my invention a hydrojet. Genius!

No, it's time to apply the law.

How in hell the voters from Britain as well as from America allow such things to happen in the first place??

A true democracy works thanks to the four boxes of liberty (soap box, ballot box, jury box and ammo box).

Our so-called "democracies" have two more (ice box and idiot box) that are more important to people than the four others: as long as people are stuffed full of junk food and can watch the football game on TV, they feel free enough.

National espionage agencies operate outside the law these days anyway.

They didn't rediscover it, they created predictive algorithms by leveraging machine learning. That's a pretty cool accomplishment similar to auto-focus and face detection algorithms.

It's entirely possible that comparing their results to traditional photograph and compositional "rules" may result in even better rules than the time-trusted ones we use now.

Vaccination exemptions are highest in Orange County, which while in California, leans very conservative in politics.

I neglected the important part - I've upgraded to Yosemite as well but have had no issues.

Anecdotal - I have a 2012 MBPro (Retina) and have no problem sleeping and rejoining 5GHz APs on wake

It's such a big company it's in plural.

I sure hope his hack is free/open-source.

Seriously, that's probably less than the cost of installing/replacing a single rural circuit.

How long before that's SystemD/GNU/Linux?

In the time I've not run a/v, I've never had an infection. (I never had an infection before that, either, but that's beside the point.)

That you know of. There have been many documented cases of drive-by installs, worms that infect from external media, infected installers from legitimate installers. Hell, even legitimate open source projects having their servers unknowingly hijacked and malware injected into source or binaries during download.

While some malware is geared at spamming your desktop with ads, the good stuff tries to be as unnoticeable as possible, especially for botnets or if the goal is keylogging. Today's sophisticated viruses aren't trying to wipe your machine - they're all about creating networks of vulnerability to sell later to the highest bidder.

So this-or-that company promises you unbreakable encryption or that they won't poke their nose in your data. Do you trust them? I don't. All it takes is a little firm chit-chat from the national security agency of the country your data is hosted in, and your "safe" data isn't safe anymore.

If you really insist on putting files and shit in the cloud, encrypt it yourself before uploading it. Better yet, run your own server and provide yourself with your very own fucking cloud. Those who want real security aren't lazy and do the work themselves.

That guy makes awesome audio equipment (if only I could afford it) without the audiophile Monster gimmick.

I am jealous to this day of my dad's digital tuner which is finally starting to flake out after 20+ years - too bad it's stereo :(
