Yea, because when you use some other mail server and your messages flow across the Internet in standard clear text SMTP ... the NSA can't read it from your server, just Googles. As far as being an idiot ... well ... pot, meet the kettle ... its black too.

I love when idiots think they know so much ... and every time you speak you show that you know far less than you think.

You also better look up the definition of collaboration, might surprise you to learn that it doesn't mean what you're using it to mean.

Before you rant and rave about how I'm a total idiot, you should start with a dictionary and a clue.

Someone doesn't know WTF they are talking about. Windows store containing iOS apps ... which can't actually sign them with the digital signature required to actually load to a iOS device and run ...

And if they are referring to web pages ... well, web pages != apps, stop ruining the terminology you ignorant fucks.

If you can't handle spam, you aren't qualified to be in IT. Seriously, you can't solve the most common problem that occurs on the internet ... Get a Gmail account you moron, FFS.

If this is really a problem for you, you need to switch professions, become a psychologist you'll fit right in, its full of people who talk out their ass like they know something yet have absolutely no idea wtf they are doing ... sounds like a perfect fit for you.

Your assumption is wrong in most ways.

You aren't going to cycle your entire battery every day, so 2000 charge cycles could be twenty years for all you know. You don't know what the actual battery capacity is. You know what they are telling you is available and for how long, but simply selling you a 800w pack and utilizing it to only 50% capacity (because its actually a 1600kw/H pack) changes the game entirely.

Thats how you extend battery life, you simply use less of it.

Tesla isn't going to warranty the pack for 10 years if they have to replace it in 5 unless they can replace it for less than 10% or so of the original sales price or something ridiculous. In which case, someone else will start making the same batteries and selling them for less without the spare capacity, probably out of hong kong, HobbyKing I bet will be first.

Really? Tell that to all the people without AC, you know, like several entire countries? In those countries you get less heat on cloudy days which requires even more energy from your less power

Wrong.

The first time there was a major outage and everyone ran off batteries for an extended period of time ... needing to not only start using normal mains power again but ALSO charge their batterys ... now you're fucked if you don't have the capacity you already have and probably more to deal with the surge of everyones chargers.

Great UPS, but the energy has to come from somewhere.

Mean while ... the BSD people keep thinking of Linux as a 'third party' they'd not let their worst enemy run.

Linux is for the unenlightened. Running a Linux file server or firewall on a heavy network ... there you're just showing how ignorant you are.

Linux on a desktop with shitty hardware that BSD doesn't support ... sure, its great.

yes, its not a flashlight ... except if you mean a highly focused 100kilowatt flashlight, BUT it certainly stands to reason from our observations of the universe that some frequencies of EM are better suited to this purpose than others, as well as various drive configurations.

And for reference, if you read the article ... they compare it to photon drive engines, they are very real (although very weak)

You might want to checkout the definition of engine too, I think yours is probably not the one the scientists are using. Its not always about having a hemi.

Its not a violation of the laws of conventional physics.

Some of the microwave radiation escapes, thats where your thrust comes from. Matter propellant isn't used, energy is the propellant. What I don't get is why people keep calling it controversial or defying the laws of physics. To defy the laws of physics, it would have to accelerate with no energy supplied to the system at all, but it has a supply of energy it is expending.

Remember kids, in our universe Matter and Energy are more or less one and the same and completely interchangeable IF you have sufficient spare energy :)

Photons of light (which are EM just like microwaves, just a different frequency) impart energy on things the impact, this is well known ... where do they think a solar sail comes from?

Like you said, they may not understand how the microwave radiation is moving the device, but saying its breaking the laws of physics just makes it clear to anyone listening that you have made no attempt to understand what it does.

This is the drive output portion of the Impulse drive from startrek, once refined of course ... the input portion would be fusion generators to power it all to some useful energy level.

Technically, the only thing Jeff Bezos is doing is lending his name and some money to the project, its not like either he or Elon Musk are ACTUALLY involved in the work done in any way. They are mouth pieces.

Its their money, they can do whatever they want with it, but lets not pretend either one of these guys are actually doing anything impressive. They got lucky in a boom/bust situation, nothing more.

Hell, has Elon Musk EVER ran a profitable company? Just because he got rich selling stock doesn't mean the company was worth a shit, it just means there are people dumber than him.

No it doesn't, it just changes where you have to do the attack vector. If you think switching to HTTPS is going to fix this you're an idiot. So you can't mess with the encrypted stream ... except ... you can, because the country installs its own root cert on your machine, don't like that? No problem, good luck getting anywhere on the Internet because the GREAT FIREWALL ISN'T GOING TO LET YOU DO SHIT if you don't do it there way.

Of course, you're one of those tools that still thinks this is China attacking random tiny companies so this post is surely wasted on you.

I'd think by your UID you'd have been around long enough to recognize this pattern.

This is just how Netscape manages itself into ... well not being in business. Just because they changed their name to Mozilla after Sun realized how shitty they were doesn't mean its a different company really.

Netscape has never had a grasp on what their customers wanted or needed. They have always coded themselves right out of existence by doing stupid shit JUST like this. No one at Netscape that makes decisions should be allowed to make decisions, they repeatedly show no clue who their target market is or what that market wants and then tell that market both things regardless of the fact that people WHY more qualified than them are part of their target.

You know why we have Google Chrome? Because Netscape (the company) is fucking stupid and Google knows it. They like to make decisions based on principals ... and they're stupid principles that no one gives a fuck about outside of their tiny little over funded for no reason world.

I call them netscape because its the same people making the same stupid decisions that put them out of business the first time around, and some of those people went on to Sun ... and helped put them out of business as well. They make decisions for their own personal purposes. They don't deserve to have a business, but a bunch of techies fanboy'd up on firefox because 'its not Internet Explorer' ... not because its a good browser, its about the shittiest browser used on the web today in every way. That legacy still keeps random fanboys ranting and raving about how theres nothing wrong with firefox and random UI and code changes weekly are the way everything should be done.

God, I can not explain in enough detail how horrible Netscape/Mozilla is at software development. Without their anti-Microsoft fanboys, they wouldn't exist, and even thats going away.

When Adobe's PDF reader is less of a resource hog than your browser, you probably fucked up ... A LOT.

science.

There is pretty much nothing done in psychology that is actually good science. You can almost universally pick the results of any study before it starts, just ask the people doing the study what they expect and thats the result your going to get. Even in 'double blind' studies, most of which aren't even blind studies when you look at them closely are always clearly biased by the test design, which was done in a way that to show someone the results they wanted to see.

Theres a reason psychologists are called quacks, like most stereotypes it doesn't apply to all, but it damn sure applies to most, which is why it came to being in the first place.

Most psychologists doing studies are trying to push their own personal agendas and the effect its had on the profession in general is obvious. Example: Guy has psychological condition as defined by DSM ... guy's a psychologist ... he becomes leader of psychology association ... suddenly his psychological condition ... is no longer a condition, its normal. Rinse, repeat. The history here alone will tell you why you should be ignoring most of the profession outright.

Its not science, is people manipulating people because they can.

Very true, it is worth nothing though that efficiency in the air is far more important financially than it is on the ground so while taking a bus is going to be WAY more efficient over all than flying or being the one person in the car you're driving ... Airplanes are typically more efficient than any land vehicle and we should actually try to be better at incorporating things the commercial airlines do into other mass transportation options

With that said, fi that means we start using airlines for a guide to how the seats should be sized, I promise you the entire nation will just drive their own cars, in which case, it would be less efficient.

The summary (didn't bother to read the article) doesn't understand the point of not letting jurors talk about the trial to others. Its not so they don't give out trial details to the public, its so the public doesn't give them things from outside the court.

The judge ISN'T BOUND by that and is in fact REQUIRED BY LAW to hear things first (when requested by attorneys) to verify if its even okay for the jury to hear it. The judge posting on Facebook is not a problem for the trial itself, its just unprofessional, trials are public you know, unless deemed otherwise by the judge.

Telling the jurors not to talk to others about the case doesn't make it a private case, its just normal to not have the jurors getting data from other places.

The mistrial was for entirely different reasons if anyone bothered to know anything about the actual trial.
