Can someone clarify this for me (still haven't finished my coffee yet): If T-Mobile is offering "Unlimited Mobile Hotspot" data as a part of their plans then how exactly is this stealing?

I wish it were real, then we'd have a pop-up industry for e-tattoo removal as everyone would want to upgrade their tattoo every year.

I came hoping to see robots making food; I left disappointed seeing no robots at all.

Whenever I read articles like this that touch on the Kessler syndrome I'm reminded of Planetes and that one day it just might be real. Fiction becomes reality.

A term I know well. Eternal September never ends. Hell, hipster culture revolves around this idea. It's the very core of being a hipster to be one of the originals and not the flock of new users.

This is something I've noticed for a long time. Many communities have this occurrence. usenet, 4chan, reddit, world of warcraft, the "internet" itself etc. Any networked service can fall victim to this pattern. The original c

Tire grip is a huge one. I'm sure the improvements are as you said it's been a theory of mine too. Suspension also has an effect however obviously wouldn't be affected by this update. I think they do these test with the stock

I just might do that! My initial thought was pulling some of my favorite shots from Flickr and using this to find the location of where the shot was taken. Great for finding those hidden photoshoot locations! Unfortunately most DSLRs do not

Correct, I should've been been more clear in my post; I meant location data in EXIF data that has been recorded by the/a GPS module. I think this is so. Reading the developer's post it seems he had the idea to use pictures ta

I'm assuming this works with GPS data. So this would not work with photos taken with a DSLR without a GPS module/attachment. Am I correct?

Living in Vancouver, BC, I can totally see this being an economically viable option.

I'm glad you mentioned that. A full scale switch like this, if successful, would be great marketing ammunition and would simplify the administration of their datacenters. No separation of their cloud hosting and internal services would

"The Cloud" that they're talking about is their own datacenters (they're certianly not using EC2) and they're hosting their web-apps over a WAN without VPNs or other traditional forms of closing off access. However,

I see this being the most plausible thing to happen. Separate insurance classes for manual and automatic cars, the costs of each being supported by their perspective groups. However that begs the question: by sheer numbers would that make i

Didn't think of the horse perspective. Thanks for that. Still feels bad that some I love doing every day will be regulated to somewhere far removed from where I live and done only a few times a month at best.

I want to hear the argument about people who want to drive. I enjoy driving. I like driving cars. I still drive a manual and will not buy an automatic transmission. I participate in car clubs and I compete in autocross events. I enjoy autom

Yep! Latency and Inertia still exist with autocars. Anyone wishing to challenge physics may as well be awarded a Darwin Award.

I'm in your position right now. I set up Nagios to monitor about 50 servers last year and now I'm almost done switching to Icinga2. I think it's worth it if you have spare time, but the major improvements I've actually n

I came here to say this, more or less. Maybe when streaming services offer what I want to watch in better than current quality I'll consider stopping. Until then I'll be using Canadian Netflix for 10% of my viewing and other metho

I understand your feelings. A part of me wants to unglue from the computer and be a baker.

Thanks for this. I'm on this path right now but with only a week out of the hospital it's still pretty fresh. I fully understand that feeling of mortality though. I think letting go of the things I can't control is one thing

Not surprising. The entire legal framework around music is a disaster and harmful to both listeners and artists. The only people who win are lawyers and large corporations. The DMCA and its supporting system are a toxic waste of the industr

No she's from Japan. True blood through and through. But yes, you're correct, she's not very traditional. I'm not all that worried; I know things will work out and if they don't I move on. We're both young. She
