While interesting, I can't see how there is a difference between this and cartoons.

Then why not just rephrase the problem, so the "low performers" can simply be removed from the education system entirely? That's what you're proposing when you tell someone gifted they can't have education that _act

Ah, bubbling in the correct little bounded area. My experience was about the same. Maybe no one thought to stop that the kids who couldn't fill in a little area didn't know the answer to the questions in the first place? In any ca

Additionally, he only owns it as long as he can pay whatever property taxes are levied upon it.

No, that is incorrect. The domain of the FCC extends to all property of the United States of America, be it public or private.

Wow, you're right. I figured an 8051 was popular, but its derivatives make up >50% of the embedded market it seems. I am guessing most clones offer more than 128 bytes of memory.

This chip makes me laugh: http://www.keil.com/dd/docs/datashts/nuvoton/w78e054d_w78e05... It's a clone of an intel chip from the 80s. It's still used to make new stuff. Here's a video of i

You're confusing "the citizens" with two specific citizens. I've never called out Chelsea Manning or Edward Snowden specifically. We did nothing in spite of the actions of those individuals. They laid everything bare out

learc83 used the term "the government" in his post. I would not say that every US government employee is personally responsible for the current surveillance state. But when someone suggest "the government" is about to cr

As opposed to what, conducting surveillance on basically every citizen in the nation? That was just dandy. But a Muslim registry, now you're going to get all uppity about that?

Isn't this just another variety of Tivoization? The platform is nominally open source, but unable to run anything other than approved code.

Pretty much anywhere with a sensible idea of what liability means. When the car is gone, you're not liable for it. This year a car I used to drive was involved in a serious accident. I sold the car 7 years ago, the owner was just drivi

On the contrary. Blizzard cancelled a project also called Titan which they had never actually publicly announced. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_(Blizzard_Entertainment_...

That's a unique theory, especially considering the SR-71 is anything but stealthy.

Seems to sell just fine in the current market, I haven't seen a huge move away from Diesels as a result of its introduction.

That one is simple, just make the vehicle not run when certain conditions aren't met. Most diesel trucks already do this from the factory, if you don't follow the regen. cycle the truck just turns off.

Just another step to the complete infantilization of citizens by the government. If you can't pour a liquid into another container, you have no business being outdoors.

They could, but there is no incentive to do so.

Just because you can see the tower doesn't mean the antennas are pointed in your direction. Furthermore, signal doesn't mean jack. I have a great 'LTE' signal all over where I live in Austin but only get about 0.25 mbps

What about 'Deplorables'? Can we tag news stories as that?

That's genius. I feel like I need to create a blog documenting stuff like this. We could compare the cost of the tooling used vs. the cost of the replacement part. Except nowadays it is more like "I just went over to my uncle&#x27

What you've essentially discovered is the difference between someone's hobby and trying to support yourself by doing something. People who do this sort of thing as a hobby just want to feel good and are looking for distractions. A

I will ask again: Why do people keep repeating this? You keep throwing around ideas like "They are simple nuclear bombs". It's not like during WWII the US asked some physicists to make a weapon and they replied with "jus

Why do people keep repeating this? Reactors don't go 'boom'. They aren't thermonuclear weapons. The worst you'll get is a bunch of heat when the cooling system fails and a possible steam explosion.

I've worked with people who did it with pride. When I pointed out we had no license for the code, they proudly told me anything without an explicit license was public domain. I quit not longer after that.

Comcast and the other ISPs are ever going to "cut off" access to anything. What they have done and will continue to do is to make it extraordinarily difficult to use other companies services that replace their own. For example, ma
