Good article on the subject: https://www.bbc.com/news/world... I was in Victoria falls about two and half years ago and they where nearly dry! This is a major disaster for people and animals who live in areas that are becoming a desert. Apparently also for people who land will disappear under expanding lakes.

Nice name

Since you can use an app on the phone, windows or Linux for generating the 2FA numbers your claim about multiple identities is simply incorrect. 2FA helps avoid some one breaking in by guessing your password or using a leaked password..

If you look at the AEC-Q200 standard for car electronics you will see 5 types of chips. type 0 has to work in -50C to +150C hardly a working environment for normal chips. Type 1 up to +125C (for most chips under the hood) and type 2 up to +105C in the passenger area are also beyond generic chips specs. The automotive chips make up about 10% of the chip market (in cost) not something to laugh at so the chip companies do have a large monetary interest here. However I would expect the need for high temperature chips to be very much alleviated with electric cars; which is a reason for the chip industry not to invest too much in those types 0,1,2.

Charges and batteries. There is no reason why there are a gazzilion types of "batteries" for portable computers, It is obvious that one size will not work for all but right now a visit to a store that specializes in portable batteries is kind of amazing when you look at the variety for even a single manufacturer like HP. Since ordering them by airmail is not allowed their prices are sky high outside the U.S. Frankly I had this idea a long time ago that shipping containers for all products should also have standard sizes (much like post office boxes) this would enable using packages that could be reused. There is way too much waste packaging out there.

Who do not understand the technology signed on to something that is a problem. Or was it greed the usual motivator? I have seen this time and again in big company's. The managers know the buzz words. Or as one senior manager said to to me about the company president who was talking nonsense on a technical issue: "He is reading something some one wrote for him" When marketing types are is in charge this is what we get.

Are you a Republican? Libertarian , American? You have no idea what communism or Socialism are or what the difference between them is. Communism is the idea of the state controlling the production and commerce. Which state is in charge of open source? NONE. Socialism is the idea that society is responsible for the well being of the population. The U.S is a socialist country. It has public education, Social security, Labor protection laws and Health insurance for part of the population check out: Medicare, Medicaid and The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.. It also has gun laws and driving laws, all are controlled by the government. You might want to go back to living in the wild West which was non socialist but the people of the U.S put an end to it as soon as they could. In any case open source is neither of the above. It is altruism. The belief in or practice of disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others.

Why read the rest when you can laugh with the best? Seriously experts are wrong most of the time, just take a look at what they wrote a while ago. There are plenty of books on the subject of experts like:Wrong: Why Experts Keep Failing Us - and How to Know When NOT to trust them. In economics the "experts" usually are those who had a lucky streak. Yes there are experts out there in mathematics, physics and other things who know specific stuff but they usually do not write about it in blogs, they publish peer reviewed articles.

I recommend it. No I do not think that 20 years of hard work will make me into a new Beethoven. However hard work and very good training are what is needed to produce success. Here is an example of how it works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... her father as an experiment got her and her sister to the chess world. Nearly every sports super star you read about works much harder then his peers. Ditto for most people who succeed in research and hi tech. We should be promoting hard work and stop deluding our selves that we can pick winners because they where a little better in the beginning, which is what I think talent is.

You will meet lots of people from many countries on line when taking on-line courses; if the courses are set up right. I am not for abandoning universities I am for making them adjust. Unfortunately like all normal organizations they are clinging to the money they made the old way..

It is about time the universities go the way of the book, music, news, encyclopedia and information industries in which the Internet has brought down prices significantly. There is no justification to the huge amounts of money the universities charge for the education they provide and for the learning materials. This course is a live demonstration of how it can be done for pennies. The only thing that should cost more then a few dollars is final testing of a course which can be done for about $50.00 per course. Beyond that if remote testing is used it will be very hard for any one to get a whole degree by cheating on the total amount of courses needed to graduate. A few random tests on key subjects where you have to be present physically are more then enough to put an end to any shenanigans. The only reason it has not happened yet is psychological, people (those who study and those who hire) being conservative by nature want a degree from "a well known establishment". (Yes some courses need labs and cadavers but they are a small minority)

Sure Egypt will have a real democracy in a day or two. Like the Hamas in Gaza. I am no supporter of the Arab regimes but it is much more likely that we will end up with some kind of Muslim dictatorship.

The open source person should file a complaint regarding theft of IP with the FBI and the state general attorney (if he lives in the US). There is nothing companies like less then dealing with government lawyers.
