This seems kinda pointless. Engine-modified cars represent a tiny, tiny portion of the total population, and probably contribute a rounding error to the pollution. Sure, go after pickups that "roll coal", but going after people that want to install a cold-air intake or larger exhaust is just odd.

I dunno about the ESP8266 being a Arduino killer- it doesn't handle analog very well last I checked.

But as for details over what happened, check this [1]hackaday article.

I recently had to do some security questions with my bank to verify myself- the trick was, they were all multiple choice, and they actually said "we pulled these from public record". Furthermore, I saw earlier someone mentioned the same thing, but they had filled their questions with gibberish, so when support gave the options the gibberish stood out significantly.

It will take a while (keyboards and the lot are gonna be usb2/3 for some time) but the newer asus mobos (and I'm amusing others) have a USB-C jack on the back.

Luckily, usb-c has usb2 pins right in the middle of it, so I don't see it taking longer than a decade.

You get a tiny fraction of the power of the card though, a 1080 would get you the performance of a 750. Also, I think it's kind of insane that instead of just getting decent onboard graphics your option is to buy a whole nother graphics card, power supply, and the adapter which can cost 500-800$.

Weird, I've had all sorts of bugs happen to me, but I've never actually seen this particular one happen across 4 or so systems.

As to your question, I figure it's the same as anything else in windows, legacy code. One library gets stacked on top of another, then another, and when the UI pulls from it, it drags up bugs from the entire stack.

In addition to what other people have said, it's feasible that he had a longer sleep schedule- maybe 36 hours instead of 24.

You kind of can already, stick linux on an ssd and just carry it about. I say ssd because not only are they fast, they can be powered over USB.

I suppose the optimal version of this would be to have your userspace carried on a cell phone, so you could plug your phone into any desktop and use it. There's already kind of versions of this, one where the laptop is basically a dumb terminal, and another called drivedroid which allows you to treat your phone as a bootable disk.

Wow, this could be exciting, I'm really glad valve followed through on their word of opening this up, and it seems they've done so in a pretty good way. Providing an open standard for tracking is fantastic.

I don't think I've heard a single person say elite dangerous is better without VR. It's just so much better with it than without, I can't not use it.

Mind you, I just have google cardboard, but it's kinda similar, right?

I don't really think there's a difference. My thoughts is that brushing pushes most of it off, but pushes some stuff into small holes and stuff, which is then removed by flossing.

Personal antecedent is that I never flossed for 18 years, and would always walk out of the dentist with a bleeding gum somewhere in my mouth, and my teeth would hurt drinking cold water, etc, but when I finally started flossing all those problems evaporated.

Some mouths probably need it more than others, and it appears that mine is one of them. Is flossing the best option for inter-teeth cleaning? Maybe not. However, even after a good brush I can pull bits of food out by flossing, and I don't think anyone will disagree that it's a good thing to leave it in there.

Seriously, I've clicked through that on purpose many times with a lot of open-source projects, in development stuff, hell, I've gotten unsigned programs from companies!

I think the biggest issue with google right now is they have so many simple answers available. If I google some even slightly in depth problem, I'm bombarded with quarter explanations from "popular" sites like howtogeek, cnet wikihow, etc, which as far as I remember have never helped me one bit.

They seem to rely too much on site popularity, and not enough about quality of result, and god help you if you try to google a higher-level math problem.

I finished the expanse series in about a week- it's a fantastic sci-fi, but it's really not for people who go in expecting action. Most of the series is space politics, as well as an annoying tendency to just vaguely hint at alien stuff, flip flopping between space magic and dumb ol' block.

That being said, I really liked it, and I would recommend it. Also, if they're not your thing, the first book is the only one with zombies.

Yep, it's a similar problem in a lot of fronts- most of the time $200+ isn't worth a 5% increase in quality.

What bugged me about the media coverage of the leaks is the stupid russian thing. Cnn had an article, and more than half it was discussing how it could be russians providing the leak, with bits like "Refused to confirm or deny the leaks were of russian origin" despite russians not being mentioned in the source at all! You can say "assage refused to confirm or deny he is a stack of russian midgets in a suit" and it's just as accurate!

This was one of the more fun sciencey things to keep track of, and it brought space back into the media for a short time. Godspeed lil' probe.

Anyway, I kind of wish people would edit this style of title to something like "It's time for me (Philae Lander) to say goodbye"

In addition to the other things people have mentioned, the NSA appears to be fond of retroreflective bugs that don't transmit anything, but reflect incoming signals with modulation.

Whoops, I was.

In a similar vein, I've seen a lot of push in some communities to move to a zeronet-based torrent site.

Zeronet has a couple good torrent sites set up on it.

A month ago you'd be right. As it is, all manufacturers are stocking their cards pretty regularly it you set up notifications for em.

Not surely- the old titan X didn't have any video ports on the back. It's a computing card, not a video card.

Probably stuff like ecstasy would work- but that probably produces different patterns too.

Bunnie of chumby/novena fame has this pretty great blogpost on how cheap stuff spurs innovation.

Discord actually went as far as to add a streamer mode which adds on extra security & obscures names and the like. Handy.

Heh, reminded me immediately of the will it blend guy.

"Asprin smoke, don't breath this!"

Wow, that's a trick worth knowing. I've tried everything, but this sounds promising.

Wow, it kind of sounds insane that we don't have multiple-copy paste by default now. Come to think, I can think of a bunch of times where I open up notepad to store a copy-paste.
