Cable AND internet? Are you out of your mind? You never heard of "triple play", that's like 20 years old. You cannot detach cable or telephone from "the internet" it's INTERNET DATA, all in the same fiber LOL. TV is served over IP! You can watch every TV channel on your freaking phone! What, you never heard of VOIP either? There is no analog phone network anymore. Telecoms pulled out and sold the copper out of the ground years ago, it was worth a lot of money. No analog radio. And certainly no cable company. .I'm pretty sure we've had gigabit fiber connections available for some ten years or so. I live in a distant suburb, not exactly Wall Street. What have your telecoms been doing for the past couple of decades? :D
Let me guess they still charge you for text messages limited to 140 characters?
We don't even have 3G anymore let alone the old GSM texts. We're about to phase out 4G, too.

Bitcoin is completely useless and the fact something is finite doesn't mean it's valuable. My great-grandfather put all his money on land and nobody lives in former agricultural towns anymore. The land is worth shit.
Gold is way overrated as well.
I can't fathom what sort of idiots just want to park their spare million on obscure risky assets instead of letting a certified professional handle it. Blind faith and money laundering.

That's what we did. We built one of the world's largest datacenters in 2013 with a capacity of 34 Petabytes and at a cost of 100 million on top of our highest mountain, which has always been one of the main attractions in Portugal. Now it's old and for sale. Sic transit gloria mundi. Soon you'll be able to store 34 petabytes on your desk.

We try so hard to America that our lawyers are graduating from the Costco school of not reading so good.

I'm not a physicist but I seem to recall reading that over a long period of time it's likely that gravitational attraction can sync up orbits in a resonant pattern....if we're talking about largeish planets aligned on the same plane and relatively close to each other it sounds like the perfect environment for resonance to form.

As far back as 1889 there was a novel predicting the rebellion of sentient machines, "The Wreck of the World". Don't say they didn't warn you.

They should have simply added a lawnmower weapon to doom and turned lawnmowing into an AR game.

No. Jesus. What a stupid idea.

What exactly do you want to pump into the entire atmosphere? Particulate matter is widely regarded as pollution. Soot. Black lung. Volcano ash causes lung disease in people who live at a relatively safe distance from the exploding volcano but still in the range that ash falls. Chalk also caused lung disease in a high school teacher of mine. .I can just see the media raging over the new "Glitter Lung" that came from Switzerland.
USE THE ENERGY. It's fuckling FREE ENERGY.

This will protect plants and animals from excess UV and infrared (heat) while generating solar energy.
Build solar-powered desalination facilities in arid countries. Green the deserts. Let there be crops and forests.
Build solar-powered carbon capture, you get free carbon powder for paints, cosmetics, or medicine. Run a giant freezer in polar lands to pile the ice back onto them
You want geoengineering? Cover the world in solar panels and generate more energy than the mythical nuclear fusion plant we've been trying to build for over 50 years.

On some Dell tower PC's from around 2008, the notification was that at the next boot, the BIOS firmware showed a message saying something like "A single bit memory error was detected and corrected, press F1 to continue."

I have some sticks of RAM (in a box of junk somewhere) that caused the message on the hottest days of the year.

Or to increase our professors' impact rating. I lifted half my thesis from Wikipedia and got paper references from there, and those paper's references.
Don't care. Why the fuck did I have to do a thesis? I already knew how to code when I was a kid. HTML is not rocket science, neither is CSS, JS, SQL or PHP.

Or 8. I guess when the only use for an operating system is to load a web browser and an ssh terminal...

They should make an OS that's compatible with both Apple and Android, rather than create a walled garden.
I run DOS, Windows 3.1, XP and 10 under Linux in various VMs.

According to Dubya, at least. :D

It's an interesting finding.
The article talks about the photoelectric effect being an analogy, though it reminds me more of how ultrasonic humidifiers work.
