I've strapped a 3D printer on my back, if someone shoots at me I just say "3D printer! Body armor!" and it 3D prints a shell of graphene all around my body!
Yeah boy! It's the future and the game has changed!!!!

The technology required for wormholes is so far removed from our current and plausible near-future capabilities that to throw lots of money at it would almost certainly be a total boondoggle.
So basically what he's saying is we might as well dump the money into a black hole. Sounds like most government programs.

An MS cert does not trump someone with 2 years of real experience. MS certs are only for people that have zero experience hoping to work somewhere other than best buy.
I once had to help a MCSE guy configure an email account. In outlook. They have no value if there is no experience backing up the ability to pass a test. I've been working with computers for over 30 years, and I'm 40. No official certified training, just a lifetime of being a geek. They still call me for the hard problems and never complain about the bill when it comes.
My understanding is there are "boot camp" test prep courses that are worthless then there are (apparently) some real cert programs.
Enlighten us. What is the reason?
Steep apple discounts and grants make them nearly free? The districts can also charge the parents for them and double dip? Just guessing.
"In fact a good laptop and a good tablet will cost less than a surface."
A Surface 2 (running Windows RT) costs $449 - I question the quality of a 'good' laptop and 'good' tablet you can get for less than $449...
A Surface Pro 3 starts at $749 - list price, less in qty. - that gets you close to 'good' laptops and tablets.
he wasn't referring to windows RT surface.
No one wants a surface, unless it's to use as a stand for an iPad.
And internet explorer is the #1 browser in the world used to download another browser.
draconian licensing is an issue no matter what company is doing it.
Microsoft, Autodesk, Sony and Allen Bradley are the ones I deal with personally. They all assume their customers are criminals, based on the licensing schemes.
To be fair though the Autodesk licensing isn't so bad once you get it working.
Siemens software licensing seems to be pretty fair and easy to live with.
schools around here either go with chromebook, macbook or ipad. No-one is going Microsoft.
i'm not saying anyone with a CCNA can hack Tor
i'm saying that anything that exists that can be transmitted and decoded can also be accessed by a third party
if it exists, it's not "secure"
maybe my analogy is awkward, but it's valid and accurate
Sort of a "Analog Hole" analogy.
A digital hole?
mozilla works better than chrome right now though.
Chrome does NOT work well for the last couple months. IE has never worked. Opera - no. That leaves Firefox. It gets me by. It's way better than it WAS.
The whole "safety, safety, safety" bit has gotten so ridiculous and I am endlessly surprised by the fact that a majority of people haven't cried "bullshit" on it.
Bullshit
Uhhh, in Soviet Russia October fools you?
I think this is totally awesome, really I do. But I'm not really sure what I'd use it for.
What sort of everyday things would someone use a scanner for? (No, scanning a widget to make a 3d printed version of it does not count as everyday.)
3d printing is the future, this goes along with that.
pshaw, personal space programs are so 00's!
The new hotness is life extension research and personal immortality.
Minecraft is already pretty transhuman.
You can change your skin at will, appearing in different worlds with a completely different appearance but it's still you. You can die on one world and appear on another world with a different skin - but it's still you.
I know many modern sci fi novels have embraced this body swapping idea either as a main plot point or as a normal practice in the sci-fi universe.
Thats nothing. I use a VPN everyday for my company's cloud based accounting system. My entire department is staffed by pirates.

You can buy a year subscription to privateinternetaccess for something like $35, you can pay with bitcoin, and you can use it on PC, linux, and android and presumably iOS and mac. And there are others but that's what I got, just for kicks. It even comes with a DEDICATED PROXY that you can plug into uTorrent. HA HA HA. and it works. It all works seamlessly and reliably and very very fastly.
But of course I've only downloaded linux distros with it and not top gear episodes.
VPN are only going to get more commonplace for every day internet using. Because screw you, NSA.
