  1. They can make the shit 'theme' blocks in the lego 'kits' biodegradable and keep the real rectangular blocks made of the same solid plastic. Because the 'kit' Lego is the new crap and it tends to discourage imagination.

    The older generic rectangular blocks don't make the Lego company anywhere near as much money, because it's just a big bucket of bricks for children to express their imagination with. No licensing deals or steep markup, and the kids don't need to 'want' a new kit ever few months.

    If they do this, the crap 'kit' Lego stuff can crumble away and the blocks can endure as always.

    I'm just dreaming, though. That isn't how Lego will make a bunch of money in a 'sustainable' fashion.

  2. Nobody is 'forever banned' here. The word to use instead of 'banned' is 'shunned.' Yes, It's more work and it's not an easy top-down authoritarian thing to do like they practice at Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, etc., but that's the deal.

  3. It has been greatly increased activity with the newer, nourishing insulation on wiring harnesses. Before, rats might gnaw on a wire in their way. Now they eat all the insulation off the entire harness.

  4. Reimbursement Model on CRISPR Gene Editing Fixes Muscular Dystrophy In Dogs, Humans Could Be Next (time.com) · · Score: 1

    "We are going for a cure, not a treatment,"

    The first thing a Medical Industry executive will ask when someone makes an assertment like the above is "What is the reimbursement model?"

    Because drug and medical device makers view treatment or cure of a patient as a side effect.

  5. A plan for emergency services would by necessity have to involve planning for contengencies during emergencies. So who in the Fire Department drew up the FMEA documents, and have they been fired yet?

  6. Nobody read your lengthy document because it was just a diatribe written by one individual.

    Automation cultists need to tone it down and stop trying to work out a Final Solution to impose on us all.

  7. Your goal should be to not cram your fantasies down others' throats.

    Yeah, we know. People shouldn't be allowed to drive. You shouldn't be allowed out of your dwelling. And here's the wire cutter and a nice RF shield. Because my theory says the outcome will be splendid.

  8. Your very own Emmanuel Goldstein.

    Rage at his image! For five minutes!

    Adobe is rich and powerful. For today's A.C. that is enough and justifies anything.

    I really want the old Slashdot back, without all these non-nerd dinks hanging around because they think this is an 'IT' site.

    The pity is that people can't parade around on the street showing off their big hi-rez screen.

    I will settle for the paperback version. You'd be blown away by the human brain's ability to 3D rendering from 'source code' in the form of skillfully crafted text.

    Naw, you'd never understand. Never mind.

    There is a minimum amount you can pay the fucking marketing department, in their tasselated loafers. Anything less and there isn't enough 'margin' for the blackjack, hookers, etc.

    Yes, we can pay again for the same content. Yay. Rah.

    It's easier to rip DVD, and I only watch video content these days on my 8 or 10 inch tablets.

    There has never been anything but mostly crap to watch.

    If you are paying that much attention to the screen resolution, you're probably missing the story, and the whole point of entertainment.

    Definitely. Technological advances to the rescue! It is time to sell the same content to people, yet again, another time!

    Gmail is more 'professional.' It indicates to the HR people that you will probably be a good compliant employee.

  21. Fastmail on Is Your Email Address Holding You Back? (wsj.com) · · Score: 2

    I quit using gmail for anything important about a year ago. They had gotten strident and shrill about wanting a phone number for 'recovery' if they ever choose to lock the account for whatever reason. For a few dollars a month I got a paid account. I chose Fastmail, there are other companies as well.
