My pet peeve is piping hot coffee which is brewed or delivered using plastic. It is almost impossible to buy prepared coffee that doesn't come in contact with some kind of plastic. I don't trust any of it.

Why is AMD making these chips with 14nm transistors instead of using TSMC's 7nm stuff? AMD is only catching up to Intel because Intel's 10nm has been delayed so much, but if Intel can ever figure out their 10nm process they'l

This problem is solved by the GPL/AGPL. Id corporations want the code then they need to contribute back, simple. But then the Silicon Valley startup culture started whining about not being able to use all that tasty free code and have

When your hand accidentally touches that miniature touch screen and random things happen on your mac how do you control the urge to hurl it across a room?

What kind of citation would make you believe that the US government concluded it was Israel? Or about the other occasions? A lot of times when people don't like a story they shoot the messenger.

I'm not saying that they are not convenient, I'm saying they're unsustainable. Eventually they either will be more expensive or less convenient. The question is how much they can reconfigure society to their advantage in the
