Due Process in US is a parody. California makes it even worse with stuff like recent law about drunken sex consent. Add astronomical prices and you get toxic environment. I have plenty of job offers, but I would never move to California.

Actually US did not founded atomic research. It was kick started by French, English and to some extend Germans. Manhattan was mostly developed by immigrants from Europe.

In my house the toaster would get toasted on firewall. I am paranoid enough to disconnect regular toaster from plug when not used. This 'intelligent' toaster would get lobotomy. I do not want some hacker to burn down my house.

I had 4x22" until recently, second screen adds 50% productivity, third 25% and forth about 12.5". Upgrade to 3x32" is underway, so I can not provide data for those. I will probably keep old 22"s around for some statis

It says NSA only keeps 1 month of voice records. I think they store everything for couple of years, perhaps indefinitely. Storing all that voice is very cheap and is too juicy to let go. Also there were rumors about this recording for the p

I think problem are working conditions. Modern programmer is expected to work in coffee shop on tiny laptop, practically worst conditions imaginable. If I ask for decent private office and 3x32" screens I just get blank faces and bulls

They are like cockroaches always find their way. There was embargo on Germany during WW2 but IBM was renting their machinery to Nazi. Also Coca Cola was on every corner in Iraq during embargo :-)

I am just saying that GPS is not reliable and should not be used in high-risk cases. There is no "evil mustache twirling", any teenager will do it as a joke.

There is also cost cutting. Multiple independent 'smart' systems are ok. But pushing cost down means higher integration to save money. Now when engine dies it may take down power steering or even brakes. Self-driving cars are grea

I think it is you who is trolling. There is lot of crapware on Windows (even in default installation) which slows down system a lot. Antivirus, toolbars, keyloggers... Also Linux (and nix) in general IS FASTER*. Especially the filesystem

I think one can not go into personal bankruptcy for student loans...

I have question how young students can give legal consent for such loan? Most teenagers can not legally drink or have a sex, but they can agree to this sort of commitment?

I traveled a lot in post-soviet countries. Once I was held for several hours by military police for losing my way into restricted military area. But never ever anyone took my fingerprints, except TSA agents...

Legal responsibility for finishing the project and tax accountability could be separated. Anyway this is going to be just another accountancy nightmare.

I use Linux since 2002 and actually hate M$. But yes, it introduced Ajax and changed the world. Gmail was revolutionary because it offered 1GB when 10MB was the norm. Not because of UI.
