I suspect there's a strong correlation between location and choices. I live in Norway and I almost never see anyone pay cash. Cards are becoming a rarity as well, everybody taps their phone, backed by a debit account. People are less paranoid about privacy here, I think. Probably because we have more laws protecting privacy (we hope). I was traveling the past week and forgot my wallet. No problems whatsoever. (Ponder your definition of freedom)

Laying bastards!

Well then they should do that. Let the market work it out instead of going behind the customer's back. In the end the consumer will have to pay if costs go up, whether it's the ISP or the services that charge more. The ISP's are just trying to shift the blame. They seem to have enough money to pay for their lobbyists.

Those genetically-modifying mosquitos are welcome to try! Or did they mean genetically modifying mosquitos (without hyphen).

Microsoft-written seems to be a misnomer. AFAIK the kernel is still 99% based on the Linux kernel, but with some patches (as every distro does). TFA doesn't really provide links but a few links down I found this: https://devblogs.microsoft.com...

The source seems to be on GitHub already (they still have to comply to GPLv2): https://github.com/microsoft/W...

That's a good idea. Do you think I should shave my beard?

The whey monster in the spare parts refer them to the industry, as "frankenshows" is people out of that.

There, FTFY?

Or am I?

No you didn't.

Jacksonville (FL) hosts a run tomorrow. Ironic! Any chance of getting this boycotted?

Is that true? I though the double jeopardy clause ruled this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

I think we'll need to examine those Back Peters a little closer. It's seems their half-life period is almost up.

Would that be robot robot homes, or just normal ones? BTW robot homes are already quite well described in Futurama. Ample closet room, in any case.

50 Years is only a short while. So yes, there are challenges, but we shouldn't be surprised that we didn't solve them in such a short period of time.
Regarding the radiation issue. How about we create a magnetic field ourselves? Energy requirements may be too high, I don't know. Just an idea...
