01:22 rue_house and securryity holes
01:22 rue_house crap code on crap code
14:23 any93147498 it's not security holes, they intend to let the advertisers, and most anyone else who can pay for it, have info about who you are
14:23 any93147498 "privacy online" interferes with them making money
14:25 any93147498 it's called (among other things) "targetted advertising"
14:26 any93147498 it's the same as looking at new.google.com or ddg, and all their links to news go back thru google, so they know what news you are looking at
14:29 any93147498 oooooooooooooo 1 hour ago?

14:29 any93147498 Logitech today announced its latest high-tech computer accessory: The MX Master wireless mouse, which works on Windows and Mac PCs.
14:39 any93147498 what i wanna see is a module for the usb port, you drop in a pill to program with any online database (wikipedia, etc), and when you swallow it, that db is installed so you can access it at any time
18:54 katsmeow-afk California is first state with 5% of its electricity from solar
18:55 katsmeow-afk California was followed by Arizona and Nevada, both of which generated 2.8% of their total electricity from big solar plants.
19:00 katsmeow-afk The price of solar photovoltaic, or PV, systems is expected to drop by 65 percent by 2050, van der Hoeven said.
19:00 katsmeow-afk 20forking50 ?!?
19:01 katsmeow-afk 35 YEARS from now?!
19:17 katsmeow-afk Trucks get in accidents at highway-rail crossings about 10 times a week in the U.S., federal regulators say.
19:18 katsmeow-afk "As soon as someone acknowledges responsibility to try to solve the problem, their own belief system is that that opens them up to liability,"
19:18 katsmeow-afk And industry groups representing drivers, trucking companies, railroad owners, trains, state troopers and state road and rail agencies don't want their people held responsible
19:19 katsmeow-afk A technical fix, "Positive Train Control" using global positioning systems, was required by Congress to be completed this year.
19:19 katsmeow-afk During the 47 years since the NTSB began advocating for some form of this technology, it could have prevented 144 accidents injuring 6,500 people and killing 300
19:25 katsmeow-afk it won't be completed this year, it may not be completed by 2020
19:26 katsmeow-afk pretty sure the protocol for completing it insures it will never be complete
19:28 katsmeow-afk too bad they cannot put a video camera at the crossing so the train driver can look at it looooooooooong time and many miles before he gets to it, eh?
19:29 katsmeow-afk plus if the camera cannot see certain targets on the pavement, or tracks, then it automagincally screams at someone
21:39 dumbass 1 step forwards, 2 steps back : replacing one of the old 700w invertors with a new 400w for the lcd tv/sterio/desklamp , so i can use the two 700w in here and the 1kw for house lighting,, well, the 400w popped the vcr/dvd player
21:42 dumbass the vcr does the converting from the digital tv reciever box to ntsc for the ntsc-to-vga for the vga monitor
