The summary lists climate change and nuclear war as being "at the top of the list" as though it has some relevance. The list doesn't appear to be ordered by likelihood, otherwise why is "Major asteroid impact" listed above "Ecological catastrophe"?
Yup. I busted out laughing here at work when I saw "future" before that one.
I am a bit confused here. Are they installing wifi infrastructure linking back to their own network, or at they depending on the consumer to piggy back on random people's base stations?
The latter, of course! Why spend money improving your own cellular network or building out wi-fi when you can trick people into using their own internet bandwidth (and leaching off others) to carry their communications.
His defense was a pushover. Would sue again. A+++++
I thought something was off, feels like it's been a week since the last time I saw an article about systemd (not to be confused with all the other Linux articles that are turned into systemd discussions by commenters).
Bah. Stupid typo.

A decade ago, Netflix meant DVDs by mail, video referred to TV and the Internet meant simple text and pictures.
In 2005? No, The Internet was a lot more than "simple text and pictures". I think you're remembering 1995.
It's completely unnecessary for everyone to learn how to code. If anything, more emphasis should be placed on practical things, like basic home repair. Understanding how your plumbing works, or being able to change a tire, is probably far more practical and relevant to lives globally than being able to write simple software.
What? Are you crazy? We can't have people repairing things on their own. Why are you trying to put handymen and AAA assistance people out of work. Not to mention if people start fixing shit they will be buying fewer replacements. Think of the impact on corporate prof--- er the economy! Yeah, The economy!
With the whole 2-year contract things, most people can basically never have their phone unlocked for international use until it's time to upgrade anyway.
You say that like people have to upgrade their phone every two years. They could just, I dunno, be happy with what they have. Get a battery replacement if that's the issue you're having (mine personally last closer to 4-5 years). This whole need-to-upgrade thing is only a consumerism mentality.
So what's the story here? Is it about a publisher, or about a copyright infringement?
If Tolkien's rights had lapsed then there was was no copyright infringement, just a guy who screwed himself by not keeping track of his creations.
Hence, he had to resort to writing angry missives on the back of later printings instead of taking Ace to court.
nobody knows that you're a pig.
There have been stories before about kickstarter projects going off into the weeds because they were oversubscribed by so much that the projects didn't know how to handle all the extra $$$.
Is this a similar case? (EG going from dual to quad core because now they have the $$ to do it)
So you're complaining that they're improving the product over what was initially announced? As long as they deliver the device as originally spec'd in the Kickstarter they are meeting their obligations. They delay might have been inevitable regardless of how much money they received. They could have just pocketed the extra money from all the extra pledges (if they get a higher margin from production economies of scale, etc), but they're going to use the money to upgrade the processor (giving a more responsive UI) and work on the wi-fi (improving network connectivity). Damn them!
LMDE, as the name implies, is based off Debian.
Sounds like you have a complaint that needs to be directed upstream.
Ahem... House of Cards (US), Orange is the New Black, Marco Polo... won't find those in the "bargain bin".
I like how your first example is a show exclusive to NetFlix.
Apples/Oranges, etc
That does not compute.
