It will be interesting to see how YouTube will handle:

- the flat earthers
- the non-moon-landing believers
- the reptilian conspiracy posters
- the non-holocaust believers

It's all mambo-jambo and some of it potentially dangerous but as soon as YouTube draws that line... there is a LOT of house-cleaning to do and a LOT of free-speach to silence.

Have both:
Local backup for fast recovers (hdd failure)
Cloud backup for super-disaster (fire, theft, etc)

I personally followed the reasoning from the post below and went with Arq Backup so I'm not tied into any specific vendor but as long as you keep automatic (backups HAVE to be automated) to a distant offsite location, having disaster hitting simultaneously both locations is such an odd and colossal event that your data will be the least of your concerns.

I'm all for change but on IDE PATA drives I do think Master and Slave where more appropriate than Primary and Secondary.

Motherboards back then had a Primary and Secondary channel. First disk would be Primary Master, second disk would be Secondary Master and then you would start sharing the cables to Primary Slave and Secondary Slave.

Just imagine talking about the Primary Primary or the Secondary Primary to start the confusion!

The consensus now, after a lot of thought, is that disks could have been named Primary Device 0, Primary Device 1, Secondary Device 0 and Secondary Device 1.

Only EP8 - The Last Jedi - became all about magical force-wielding. So much in fact that's Jedi's became a new sort of super-heroes; Marvel Style. The original trilogy is a Space Opera heavily grounded on the classical Western. The characters are not super-heroes and are definitely flawed. It sprinkled that with a balanced layer of action-film humor.

Last Jedi broke major universe rules and had a sort of Disney humor that is a bit more childish than the rest. Solo, apparently was also going down the rabbit whole in terms of Disney gags thus all the cuts during major action scenes.

In my opinion, Solo is a perfect classic of what a new SW film should be. It's not gonna be the best movie ever, that place is taken by the original three but it's entertaining and doesn't spoil the future of the saga with such nonsense as exponential force wielding powers.

If they go the way of EP8 what's to prevent a single Jedi from remotely exploding Star Destroyers? After all the force controls everything around us.

IMDB vote rate wages a lot of factors including the top 1000 voters, etc. That rating will soon go up or down to reflect the actual quality of the movie. Good or bad.

Say Suzie earns 6 and makes 9 to the burger joint. If you replace Suzie with a machine the machine can make 18 to the burger joint which makes the burger joint 9 more than by employing Suzie as a burger flipper. The burger joint then can hire Suzie back to clean the machine, still pay 6 for the guy that built the machine and take home 3 more. This conversation seams perpetual. Mail by horse, carriage driver, telephone operator, morse operator, tailor, home cook, etc etc. on every single decade we've been saying that the new technological wave will spiral society into chaos and yet people are richer, have more time, live longer, are more educated, less violent and less famine than ever.

The mechanical ants weight 0.099kg and have 200N of force which translates to roughly 20.4kgf (kilogram-force).

That would put a 75kg adult being able to apply 15450kfg.

A very far cry from the 7.3 million kg the Eiffel tower weights but, nonetheless, absolutely impressive.

True! Wrist slapping should be common practice for all industrial consciously wrong-doing!

Let me see, the Indian Institute of Planning and Management (IIPM) deliberately and for years on a row cheats and bend information in their favour on Wikipedia and probably elsewhere. Wikipedia takes action. Wikipedia is to blame for having messed up the lives of 15k students. Right.

The only problem I can see arising from this is gluing the university's name to the idea.

Creationism; as talked on Michigan State University.

Well, while the media didn't focus much on the subject there are some religious practices that DO MATTER when it comes to spreading disease. Washing the dead and then drinking that same water is one of them. Natural selection will take care of it though. Pretty much the same deal that happened with cannibalism.

If the dollar bill sinks, US exports soar.
If US exports soar, US economy boosts.

Top US imports are Oil, Machines, Electronics and Vehicles.
Makes the country pretty self-sufficient in case of such a mishap.

One thing I DON'T STAND is when you buy a DVD and you're forced to watch a 3 minutes video stating that piracy is illegal. Come on! I just bought the fu***** thing and am still bothered with a warning I CAN'T SKIP?

Think of it the other way round; we need two Hubbles protecting us to be able to have one for science. War, greed and all in the mix are far more intrinsically human than science.

Blame AT&T and blame Google.

The real issue here is cable vs mobile. Apple has been clever enough to force AT&T into a flat-rate program where there is no reward whatsoever for AT&T to speed up its lines. In Europe (where I live), users are charged by GB so the cellphone groups are actually putting pressure in users to use more data.

Google is seeing YouTube growth in the mobile "trend" threatened and wants to speed up things. They will even go to the extent of paying ISP's to do it.

Like fixed phones (who uses them anymore?) in the near future so will mobile net access dominate. The big players will then have established themselves in such a way that there is no way a "youtube"-like startup will be able to compete as it's site will be excruciatingly slow.

This is an establishment-play by Google. A greedy play by the ISP's. A power-need play by the Government. And a suck-it-up-play for the rest of us.
