If it was, it wouldn't be about UFS, it'd be about ZFS.

UFS is still fine for small installations on embedded systems, but for any thing of any size, you should be using ZFS. Its superior in every way other than memory usage.

Android is the antithesis of privacy. You might as well be looking for GNU/OS X.

Androids entire existence is to gather your private info for Google. There is literally no other reason ite exists. If your not ok with that, you should probably start looking for alternatives.

You'll be more likely to use lava to chill your drinks than get privacy from Android.

Yea, but the latest OS X runs on hardware that can hardware emulate yor PowerPC at twice the speed your used to.

I'm sure your Mac can emulate x86 fast enough to run windows 3.1 like a champ to.

But let's stop pretending that your setup is ideal, sustainable or more importantly workable for others.

Does anything else really need to be said?

You've established that you think you don't need actual court approval just like Bush.

Now go fuck yourself and take everyone who thinks like you along to n the sit and spin.

Perhaps, or it could have been there for protection during the landing sequence.

And its likely that without the solar panels extended, there wasn't going to be much use of having the antenna available due to a rapidly depleting power source.

Not everyone wants to follow you're ridiculous upgrade cycle. Example: I like Google Chrome, I won't use it because its a pain in the ass to stop it from auto-updating, and if you stop it once, a month later it randomly starts upgrading itself again.

Why does Google think what its doing is any better than the people who sell exploits on the black market? They aren't asking for cash directly for them, but they are trying to hurt the competition.

Issue #128 might not even be a bug depending on your perspective, as noted in the report! The one that is 'the more serious of the two', WTF? And its not like MS hasn't patched it ... they've created a patch, that caused some compatibility issues so they delayed the patch so the compat issues can be resolved ... So Google publishes the exploit code just to be dicks about it.

The less serious ... lets a user view another users power control settings ... Seriously?

This is just Google mud slinging. Its starting to look more like Google is a politician running for elected office than being a good citizen.

Google: You're starting to look like an even bigger douche than Microsoft.

What do you call any number of attorneys at the bottom of the ocean? ...

A good start.

Its just you.

He could have just as easily caused his wife her sight by finding doctors that weren't as good as the originals and the originals having the right course of treatment.

Doctors practice medicine. Notice the words I used, PRACTICE medicine. They ALL get it wrong, A LOT.

Don't think for a second that this guy saved the day with his skill alone, he got lucky.

Neither the summary nor the article gives enough detail to make a medical decision and a 3d object printed isn't immensely more useful for diagnoses than the MRI/CT which they can manipulate on the computer like any other 3d model.

One of the things that causes problems for medical advancement in areas like this is that doctors are liars. ALL of them. Put the same MRI or CT scan of a 100% perfectly healthy individual in front of 100 different doctors and they will ALL diagnose something different but still wrong with the scan. Companies trying to do things like have machine learning decode/analyze and find problems on scans are essentially screwed because they get no help from living doctors who don't want to say 'I don't see anything on this scan' so no progress can be made as far as machine learning since no one else will accept anything from a study like that. God forbid someone call the fucking doctors out on their bullshit.

Okay so not ALL doctors at that way, just 99.999% of them, and I say this as the husband of a doctor with friends who work for companies trying to build the automation I mentioned. Again, he didn't show how awesome he was and better than the doctor, he simply found a different set of doctors who were willing to cut his wife open versus the other ones weren't. The rest was dumb luck.

Hate to break it to you, but humans aren't the only ones who know and use language. We're not really that distinguishable from many animals if thats your deciding factor. Dolphins, Whales, Octopus ... they all probably would like to have a word with you.

Yet, you can somehow manage to post on slashdot.

Your priorities are puzzling to say the least.

Tesla chooses to not use dealers.

Tesla can sell in all 50 states directly should they accept that they must sale to dealers rather than direct. It's not even hard, there would certainly be dealers that would love to do so.

Tesla wants to be like Apple though. They want to control the experience and price completely, and are unwilling to sacrifice that in order to sell in more locations.

And let's be realistic, anyone willing to buy a Tesla today is willing to deal with the hassle of not having a local/in state dealer. It's not like they aren't backordered for years. Tesla loses nothing by holding out in this case.

Items that had their sales cost lowered by subsudies.

Only because you ignore the environmental impact you shipped off to some poor nation.

In the long run, renewable is pretty much our ONLY choice, but lets not be fucking retarded and pretend they are the only choice for the immediate future. Theres a big picture to look at, not just your own agenda on how you want things to be.

Nuclear IS the right thing to use NOW. Solar and Wind hopefully in the near future, when we are more proficient with them. The physical foot print of these methods are currently untenable. Its not that they are eye sores, its that they will change their environment DRASTICALLY when implemented, so we have to implement them in a well thought out and efficient manner, engineering our climate by using their installation for more than JUST energy production.

The only real problem nuclear has is paranoid nut jobs acting like the world comes to an end over a minor incident. Fukushima WAS A MINOR ACCIDENT with practically ZERO consequence, regardless of how bad you want to blow it out of proportion. There has been more radiation spread from the energy (generated from coal) used to power the Internet based discussion about it than Fukushima itself released, its fucking ridiculous to treat it any differently. Yet you are.

Fukushima was a cluster fuck of preventable accidents and heads should roll for what happened when the plant survived the actual disaster only to succumbed to being unprepared for something that could have happened even WITHOUT a tsunami. We should bust our asses to ensure those faults do not happen again, but we should not run off on some ignorant tangent about using some other inferior (today) energy production method because people are afraid due to ignorance.

Nuclear can be MUCH safer, but retarded fear won't let anyone replace plants that are of known inferior designs with once that mitigate the problems passively. Everytime we see something like this happen, its to a plant that we should have decommission or in this case WAS about to be decommissioned in favor of a newer design.

You mention the very solution to the problem, then go off to stick your head in the sand out of fear that you don't understand it. You're going to have to deal with it eventually, how many disasters is it going to take before you finally realize that hiding from something you have to learn is the right idea?

I'm constantly wanting more space, never do I have free space. Its a constant matter of managing what I don't delete. I guess I'm a data horder.

On that same note ... do I really want someone's kiddie porn on my drive with all the legal issues that go with that? No.

Thats the point. You would have wheels, maybe no gear bay doors, but the wheels will be just fine.

Then you are in denial, naive or just plain stupid. I work at a phone company that also happens to sell mobile phones, I assure you, plenty of people say they would buy a new phone just for a new version of the OS.

The real question is WHY SHOULD I UPGRADE to the next version. Apple spews new features all over in press info and even TV commercials. You don't have to go looking for it, they tell you.

Android on the other hand uses silly code names so it takes normal (i.e. non-fanboys) a long time before they even know WTF lollipop is, and the real kicker is ... unless you go digging, no one anywhere has given any reason WHY you would want to bother upgrading. The people rushing to upgrade to lollipop are the same ones that run beta OS releases, and thats why it has an non-existent user base. No one else cares.
