Comment Re:Julian, California: Apple pies, yum! (Score 1) 191

Unfortunately, fires have drmatically changed the flavor of the region. Julian in the 70's through the 90's was truly well worth the drive from San Diego. If you left early enough, you could many options for getting there and back. Palomar Observatory, the desert, etc. all could add up to fantastic one day adventure. If, per chance, you made the trip on a motorcycle you would enjoy a ride that defined the very reason you were a rider and not a driver.

Submission + - Godwin Interviewed

theshowmecanuck writes: CBC Radio in Canada has just posted an interview with Mike Godwin, the originator of the famous (infamous?) Godwin's Law. Unbelievably it comes after a week where politicians started flinging the H word at each other. If you haven't been on Slashdot pretty much ever, say lived under a rock for the past 15 or 20 years, you will understand the interest to this site. :) So as a matter of that interest, enjoy.

Interesting comment that I would like to have some cites on. As you well know the only thing corrupting 'big government' is assholes on the right bringing 'big government' to its knees whenever an opportunity arises for 'big government' to make a difference. Of course I am referring to 'big government' as the US model. You know, the one where we have a bunch of red neck right wing wanna be good ol boys fucking up the country. You know the one. Where a Senator from a farm in the middle of a swamp in a state that rightfully has few citizens, has the same say as the one I voted for. You know the country. My Senator comes from a state with enormous population(the largest), enormous economy(largest) and yet has to sit and be brow beaten by Sen.Redneck.

Do I sound mad? You bet. Because we all know that this didn't happen by accident. Won't go into that whole thing. But what I will say is I am so fucking sick and tired of hearing the term 'big government' used in situation like the one you used it in that I could puke. You act as if we're fucking children. Like 'big government' is excluded from political events. You act as if we had a coherent energy plan in place in the US and as YOU DAMN WELL FUCKING KNOW WE DON'T. SO QUIT WITH THE 'BIG GOVERNMENT' PROGRAMS ARE A FAILURE BULLSHIT WHEN THE REAL PROBLEM IS THE FUCKING LACK OF A BIG GOVERNMENT PROGRAM IN CONJUNCTION WITH A BIG INTERNATIONAL TREATY.

Yeah maybe. But actually no, you're wrong on both counts. They exist and they look good. I read about them months ago on the Budget Light Forum site(flashlight stuff mostly, but cover just about anything to do with LEDs).

Hey, look at this. Ali Express lists 4217 results for 'led filament bulb'. Guess this isn't really cutting edge news.

Submission + - Apple decides competition isn't a good thing after all...

chasm22 writes: According to this http://www.valuewalk.com/2015/... Apple is removing just about everything from the shelves that might compete with the Apple watch.

This latest move suggests that the porkiest company in history is still trying to quench its glutinous appetite for more profits. First came the ejection of Bose (after the acquisition of Beats) and now it appears this is going to be SOP for competitors.

chasm22 writes: Krebs on Security has written a very nice synopsis of the Apple Pay fraudsters and mentions how the fraudsters used Apple Pay to make significant purchases at Apple retail stores.
