They don't ever stick. I tag something and reload the page. Tag gone.
You can't select tags and see related stories.
Tags that are there are too obvious, prevalent and stupid, like the "Story" tag.
Tags are banal and never critical, this implies censorship.

personally, I'm tired of time wasting /. policies

It only took about a year. I guess that's the price for sporting unpopular opinions, especially about Apple.

Now, shall I actually bother to use them?

I'm tired of being abused by the admins (or self seen owners). I contribute my time to /. and then you restrict what I can say and when I can say it. Just because some apple fanboys don't like honest critisism, I no longer was allowed to post anonomously. Or, for that matter, moderate, ever again. Oh, and today, just because I had tried to post several quick comments, someone decide that wasn't to be allowed.

We have a word for this. Abuse. Thanks for abusing free speech and your users. Take your site and go get bent. Typical elitist tyrants.

With the current memeory prices, why don't hardware device manufactures include enough EPROM storage to be able to flash the current version of the device's driver? This would allow for faster installs and more comprehesive system recovery. As well, if there was sufficent space, you could store a diagnostics, original, reference, or signed driver there. In fact, using OTP memory would allow the system access to a copy of a secure, signed and uncorrupted driver.

An article about the LAMP probe discusses the multiple types of instruments co-ordinate into a cohesive explorative perspective.

This got me thinking that perhaps a similar approach could see much deeper.

Perhaps using 2,3 or 4 satellites would do the trick. Start with two in synch satellites, one a transmitter, one a receiver, exactly opposite each other. They then could encircle a planet and scan through it, eventually developing a 3D image. If one adds a third satellite, then an deep intersecting cross beam / pulse would be possible, and, if necessary, add a fourth to receive the secondary beam.

I'm thinking the essential issue here is types of transmission, perhaps only neutrinos which may not reveal much if anything.

I wonder what other particles or radiation could be considered for this?

Wouldn't it be handy if there were a protocol, similiar to NTP, that would allow clients to monitor local conditions for emergency broadcasts?

The University of Alberta has developed a "new microchip is 10 times smaller and 100 times more energy efficient than currently used chips" ... "The invention employs a new method of processing digital data, known as analog decoding, which uses extremely low levels of power to execute its detection algorithm. The team's research shows no other reported chip uses a lower amount of energy consumed per decoded information bit."

"The team at the iCORE High-Capacity Digital Communications Laboratory, including Dr. Vincent Gaudet, Dr. Christian Schlegel, and former graduate students Dave Nguyen and Chris Winstead, created the microchip while working in the University of Alberta Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The communications chip was designed by Nguyen, manufactured by CMC (the Canadian Microelectronics Corporation) and tested at the University of Alberta."

"Well, Professor, that was the largest grant we've ever awarded and you assured us that this computer would know everything."

"Well, yes," said Professor, "and it does, but it simply won't tell us."

"Why?" asked the Chairman of the committee, in surprise.

"It just keeps saying we wouldn't understand," said the professor.
