The idea that alien lifeforms we could recognize are visiting us and traveling in space is utterly ludicrous. On the cosmic scale, we are the same thing and same size as an ant. No cosmically connected society would even think of talking to

I have come to the conclusion that climate change will have to cause enough scarcity and enough chaos to require despotic governmental changes towards environmental preservation. It's going to have to get absolutely terrible, and when

OMG, ditto! I grabbed 2 of those enclosures for home use without HDs in them. Didn't realize they had come from Archive.org.

Probably not. That newspaper LITERALLY makes things up. See this recent story: https://thehill.com/homenews/media/550599-reporter-who-wrote... It's one thing to get something wrong in a story, it's anoth

Calibre is great, but if you just want to throw a directory at an ebook server and be done, Ubooquity is GREAT! https://vaemendis.net/ubooquity/

Information Technologies have been weaponized, but not hardened, if that makes any sense. A lot of soft targets and heavy ordinance, not so many fortresses.

Last I checked, they were in downtown Oakland and you could just knock on the door.

I remember trees encased in beautiful ice. Freezing rain, basically encased everything in that ice: powerlines, trees, roads, it was a monster.

I hear you, I grew up playing 2nd edition, and somehow the 5th stuff started off feeling empty for me, though I have to admit the rules are so much better and rolling is so much easier. Pathfinder is like doing math homework, every roll...

Completely agree. Apple has nothing but contempt for its developers, and treats them like indentured servants. "Oh it took 10 years to get your app working right? Well, it doesn't work right anymore after yesterday's patch.&q

I mean, "Advertising Integrity" and "Facebook" shouldn't appear in the same sentence. Amazon is bad enough with fake reviews and retailers that ship terrible products when advertising them as something better. So it

Leave the Mac behind. Run with great speed in the other direction. Things are SOOOO much better without Apple hardware in my house.

Certainly not all of those, but a fair number of those are supported on GameRanger. Battlefield 2, for example. They do still kill games, no denying that, and their track record with MMO's is terrible, but comparing the number of old E

Actually, EA doesn't always kill games it shuts servers for. In fact, it gave the rights to online hosting of its entire back catalog of games to the amazing Aussie Scott Kevill, who runs GameRanger. You can play games as far back as D

Ah, lovely of Amazon to employ the EXACT same people that Carnegie and Frick hired to beat and kill steel workers in 1892. How long before Amazon has the Pinkertons open fire on the unionizers? Great prescident, Amazon. No bad choices here.

Finland, Finland, Finland, the country where I'd quite like to be, eating breakfast or dinner, or snack lunch in the hall. Finland, Finland, Finland... Finland has it all.

Speaking as someone who worked to get a 1201 exemption, and who personally shit in the MPAA, RIAA, and ESA's Cornflakes, I can confirm the 1201 process is stupid. Mainly because the RIAA,MPAA, and ESA always show up tp fight the exempt

This reminds me of when the Bush administration gave the contract for building a cell network in Iraq to Worldcom. And Worldcom went bankrupt. Clearly, they were not in the right position to fullfill the contract, but they were in the right

On the bright side, I can print reliably from Linux now, which is the first time I've been able to do that since 2005. Thanks Greg Kroah-Hartman!

This is 100% because Apple decided to pick up the CUPS developer. I called him after he was hired to do a story about it and he acted like I was trying to kill him . "I CAN'T TALK TO YOU!!! you're a reporter!!" Imagine t

Shhhhhh, you are giving 2020 ideas. And the point isn't that we'd not be able to spin up farms, it's that we'd run out of food before that could be accomplished.

I was just wondering what had happened to the Duke Nukem Forever of tech products. So.... nothing, really. Just more lab success. At this rate, HP will be dead long before this comes to fruition.

This would be so cool, and could potentially target things like the Amiga and the old school Macintosh! Yay! As a preservationist, I can confirm this would be used. Not much, but it would be used.

I reported every single ad for Legos I saw for a week. I ended up with more ads for Lego scams, too.
