"If this goes on in the long run, and if the EU or the app market doesn't find a solution for this problem, then seven to ten years down the road, the app market will be a third less valuable,"
7 to 10 years from now the app market may not even exist anymore, as we know it.
So, what's the point?
I use NTFS partitions for data I want to have available for both OSses in dual-boot PCs.
I would be pretty happy using NTFS as a Linux root partition, this would make it possible, for instance, to have one root with both kernels and put drive space to use that would otherwise just sit there inactive when you have booted into either OS.
We have been doing just that for 8 years; using the heat produced by the (late) Dutch national supercomputer Cartesius to warm the premises of the CWI during the winter with the warmed-up cooling water.
No idea if we are going to do the same with the new one, Snellius, as it's way cooler than it's predecessor.
Given the price of gas, we could as well just switch it on again only for the heating, LOL.
You CAN lose your job for insulting somebody, read your contract. Or not get a job because of too many pictures of you doing the Hitler salute.
this is so now, and was so when America was Still Great. Actually worse, for some things you could be put in jail or send to get an lobotomy.
It is not an Orwellian nightmare, it is just real and normal life.
Even offline: You can't just walk around and call people things, just to show how anti-PC and anti-Woke you are: You won't get apprehended by black helicopters or put into a Government Gulag, but you will have a hard time removing all the pubes of your mouth when somebody kicks your balls so hard that you look like blowing bubblegum.

> Using machines to do human's work
Worse: We use machine coded by individual humans and belonging to a particular company and culture to try to do the work of other humans from different cultures (even if English speaking).
And as you said alreadY: It is a moving target.
An utterly stupid way of wasting time and energy to bring null benefits while pumping CO2 into the atmosphere.
"having a live subject to study may help learn more about what motivates and influences these nutjobs."
And he could be used for other experimentation as well! There is a great opportunity to test new things on a living "voluntary" individual! And for once PETA won't have a reason to complain.
I went directly for Budgie after trying it on a VM. It has a few flaws like not being able to spawn panels on a second monitor, but I don't really care. The looks is nice, it's very light weight and at the end of the day I do my work on the shell or a browser, what's underneath it is almost irrelevant, I could just start my stuff from a shell for that matter.
Not necessarily because in the moon you could use the regolith as base material and extrude it in the form of concrete using 3D printing methods. All could be automated and only a few crew would be needed to watch the process.
But of course, you could also do it in space and send the regolith from the moon using a mass accelerator.
I do see a point.
Wearing it to track your time, pace, etc if you are doing endurance sports. It is darn useful, but then I would go for a specialized Garmin or Suunto (or whatever) product and even though this market is relatively big it is still a niche market and one where "normal" smartwatches can't compete, let alone outcompete the already existing big players.
I have bought a few compasses and a Casio solar-powered watch.
Well, it's not because of that but because the GPS sucks having to wait a century and a half every time I want to go out for a run and the batteries empty like crazy too :P
Yea, maps are the way to go, maps, watches and compasses.
+3 UP,
Knowing the readers of El Reg I assumethat they haven't understood shit and focused on the few times the word "reduce" appear.
Well, the whole paper talks about an improved analysis method to reduce THE UNCERTAINTY of some variables... what this means in terms of warming, etc is impossible to get from only this statement. But well, it allows a good inference of how the anti-climate guys work ;)
dont' take me wrong: I hate climate, I certainly do and all the Climate Scientist should be hanged and shot (at the same time) but I am still waiting for this year's Little Ice Age :_(
But well, 17 years of missing Elfstedentocht will not make me loose my faith in Global Cooling!!!
I would change the "we" for "I"
Because what you (and many others) are doing is saying that other peopler aren't right but YOU are.
Why aren't you then in charge of the Golbal Climate Science conspiracy thingy?
Or... you could as well sing your emails with a signature such as "Climate Scientist(TM)" and influence the politicians... they as all so stupid as to let themselves be talked nto stuff by a bunch of idiotic nerds such as the climate scientists... thousands of stupid nerds that barely understand their own job yet somehow manage to create a Global Conspiracy and influence politicians and whole governments to do what they want instead of following the obvious trail of money left by the oil lobbies... and all that just to justify their salary!!!
Mate I think I want to get myself a lobotomy and become Climate Scientist!!
Not necessarily.
If you fly all the way from Earth to Titan this may be the case, but if you avoid the gravitational wells the flight is cheap.
The extraction could happen in phases: The surface extraction facilities could use a mass accelerator to put containers of hydrocarbons in orbit (the containers themselves could be made of ice), a transport craft picks them up and using a part as fuel accelerates and travels into the orbit of the Moon-Earth system.
The hydrocarbons could be delivered at a terminal in the moon, just put into orbit around it or delivered into earth orbit, from there they could be equipped with chutes or something the like to make a soft descent and done ;)
The most expensive part in terms of fuel / energy of a space trip is reaching the escape velocity from earth, the rest is cheap.
In the future the fuel may not even be consumed in the Earth but in Mars or the Moon... Hey, we could even create a darn sweet greenhouse effect in Mars with all this methane!
It's all nonsense from the climate lobby!!
It's a generally known fact that there where fabricated graphics and emails were intercepted. We can therefore infer that the emails do exist. I have never seen one, but I have a friend of a friend who claims to have seen a female email with to cubs roaming near his hut in the Catskills.
But the green lobby wants us to believe all this crap about climate and orbits and stuff while we all know that it's absolutely not true. I will only believe that such things as the climate or the orbits exist when I see one with my own eyes!
What I still fail to understand is what the green lobby actually wants... that we all dress in green as in the Wizard of Oz?
Well, I wish you all a happy weekend and don't forget to adjust your tin foil hats... and mind the black helicopters and the chemtrails!!
Well, that''s nice but I'm afraid it's only wishful thinking.
WiFi and mobile internet is far, very far, from being practical. WiFi access pint still suck in most of the EU and specially in countries like mine, the Netherlands (one of the two or three countries with a bigger internet user percentage in the world). WiFi access pints, be it public or paid are slow, unreliable and the coverage is just crap. 3G networks are definitely not what you want to use except for browsing normally. We do have internet in the trains, the airport (I work there) and even so I am forced to read my mail through 3G and wait for syncing my gadgets until I am at home inside my own WiFI LAN. And I again kindly point to the fact that this is one of the most advanced countries in regard to technologies. Just think how the situation may be in the bandwagon of the EU... not to talk about the developing countries and the EU.
I’m not quite sure, as I Belgian civil registers are very liberal with respect of registering babies with strange names:
This reads: “Belgians give baby the name Rolex”
http://www.telegraaf.nl/buitenland/article69220091.ece?cid=rss
As you can read (if you understand Dutch), in Belgium names like Dijamant (Diamond) and Bahrain (the country)... and there is even a Chukwunonyelum (it’s as difficult to spell in Vlaams/Dutch or French as it is in English).
<i>Mégane</i> with and w/o accent is a surname and also a word in Japanese (dunno what it means). Thus Mégane is in no way a name worst than Rolex and it sounds a lot like Megan, a perfectly normal name.
Hey, but you don't need a makeshift boat to leave Spain, you can get cheap plane tickets or just hit the road...
You could perhaps ask the European governments for politcal asylum, so you could live without working in Britain, Holland or Germany at the expenses of us EUrian taxpayers :)
BTW, Cuba isn't this island with paradisiac weather and lotsa hot chickz?
Hmmm, like Cuba...
Sure you are not a spammer pimping for a Spanish travel agency?
