There are other considerations as well. Houses require sewers and you do not want sewers filling full of salt water, it tends to cause lots disease when it floods out. Electricity is also problematic when it floods. Not to forget no, good people do not stand by, when people are being ripped off. The whole absurd notion of what business is if of mine when I see people being ripped off, seriously, do unto others and yes I would appreciate being warned when I am about to be ripped off. What the bloody hell, do people not understand about that.

And it has them for the same reason it has beautiful hacks:

The complete and utter lack of fucking memory management, forcing the development of such hacks.

Except of course altering bios boot queue and shifting it to USB and booting say an Ubuntu image to fix and clear the hard disk drive. So still pretty much targeted at amateurs. Infected computer, once discovered, immediately reboot from a secure stable OS image on a thumb drive, Linux preferable as way to expensive to pay for a second copy of windows just for emergency boots. Then have a good hard look at what is going on with regard to that OS image on the hard disk drive, what files are where and, what they actually are. That lesson was learnt many years ago, getting caught deleting bad stuff only to have it reappear on reboot was to be expected. So normal tactic was to have a non aggressive look around, see what protective software was actually doing and based upon that do a reboot to CD and fix the problems on the hard disk drive, with thumb secure response and repair thumb drives properly set up, the fix is much easier now.

"What is the use case for a high end integrated APU? The current use case is for systems that need modern GPU capabilities, but not high graphics performance."

The reality of the situation is that right now, even at current tech, if AMD used a bit more actual die space, and embedded a couple gigs of eDRAM for the CPU/GPU to share apart from main system memory, the performance increase would be quite huge.

If my mobile phone was just a phone, I would not have a mobile phone. That sense of isolation and freedom when you are out and about is worthwhile (except maybe for out going emergency calls). So as much screen real estate and reasonable possible, lots of reasonable and accessible features as possible without installing additional apps. this to make carrying the thing worthwhile. PC convergence, why? When I get home I do not throw my phone in the bin, it is still fully accessible sure transfer data that is pretty much it. As a remote for a large screen device it is a bit small, so a tablet coming with that large screen device simply works better, again screen real estate (you simply can do more when you can see more and parts of your work are not hidden).

So lets see more Ubuntu on the big screen, lets crack that large display barrier and force manufacturers to drop their own locked heavily censored smart TV interfaces. All in one computers need to kick up their size to the plus 40 inch range and beyond with a tablet as the remote.

It's called research. Police types going to one of those events will never be in trouble as long as they write a follow up report and attend a debrief if requested. In fact they would receive browny points for doing so. So feel free to attend them all, see if you can be spotted but do not forget the follow up observational report, including whether you were or not you were spotted, how you were spotted and whether or not you traded a mug for a T shirt (ain't nothing wrong with that, unless the mugs were not provided for that purpose ie not stolen). Showing a sense of humour ie having fun when you are annoying some and just some people, promotes good relations with the public. Two way street there, fellows. When it comes to computer crime the best resources is not the FBI (most certainly not the NSA the NSA are foolishly proud to be law breakers) but a public that will support the efforts of quality responsible policing. So open a booth and hand out, no wait, swap mugs and a good T-shirt for naughty T-shirts (do not forget a biological containment device for the sweaty T-shirts).

Underwater front property valuations are in for a rather rude and sharp decline. As this increases, denials and attacks will increase (they will become extremely loud, aggressive and distorted, pretty much anything goes), to allow the rich and greedy to dump those properties, into a market of the gullible. Low lying water front at this time is a truly horrible investment and governments who approve construction in low lying coastal areas are corrupt as hell. Yes, developers will be seeking to develop and on sell land with multi-million dollar new buildings on it, knowing full well, they will be flooded out because it is more profitable than just dumping the land alone.

Other bad investments, coastal tourism companies, hotels chains with lots of at risk properties. Port facilities will of course be in major turmoil, needing to either relocate or where higher land is closely accessible shift from fixed dock design to a floating dock design. So no ifs just when, how bad and how fast and a real hold your breath when it comes to major methane releases which could trigger extreme compounding surges (fortunately the methane does readily break down over time, unfortunately, no where near fast enough and as flooding increases so does displaced organic matter and hence more methane is generated).

Never make the mistake to think the deniers are disbelievers, they are not, all they care about is how much they can make and how much power they have and totally disregard the consequences of their actions upon other people. A whole bunch of deniers are actually believers and are simply denying now to continue destructive practices and to be able to off load at risk investments (a whole lot of pension funds are going to be burdened by at risk investments and basically glug, glug, glug).

Seems its just a search engine rebranded to look like grooveshark

once had a system that would go down between 10 and 12. Trouble was NT used a longer time stamp than 98 was a 'y2k upgrade'

This is a good plan. Nuclear reactors could provide power almost indefinitely. Greenhouses could maintain plantlife. Animals could be bred and slaughtered. Selecting survivors need not be difficult -- a computer could be set and programmed to accept factors from youth, health, sexual fertility, intelligence, and a cross section of necessary skills.

Naturally, they would breed prodigiously; there would be much time, and little to do. And, with the proper breeding techniques and a ratio of say, ten females to each male, society could be rebuilt. Though since each man will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.

Mein Fuhrer, we should start planning at once!

Battery? No, what we need are nukes, a subterranean (submarsean?) vehicle that can travel to the core to place them, and a team of misfit heroes.

We'll find out later this year if it can clear an accelerating stage with the in-flight abort test.

Watching the stream this morning, I couldn't help but feel sorry for any crew who were in the capsule as it tumbled over after separation. That looks like a really uncomfortable ride, but better than exploding on the pad.

Touche. With a scalpel.

However, I will never be stuck in that situation. :)

Police should be required to get a warrant to get any information that I can not get without a warrant.

The federal and state governments have more constraints than you do.

The president can't get rid of existing laws. That's congress, and (because they usurped the power to do so), the courts. Learn how the system works. Then you might have some chance of making relevant commentary and/or writing accurate sarcasm.
