  2. Re: Strange divergence on Science Confirms That Women's Pockets Suck For Smartphones (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    Men don't carry purses because if we did they would be incredibly heavy and unmanagable. Mine woul have a full set of hand tools, a dremel tool, etc. Instead I carry the 'Tinker' model of swiss army knife that has the phillips screwdriver 'blade.'

    I keep hardware like screws and nails iin that small pocket. At one time it was a watch pocket, but it still exists on jeans because it's useful.

    An airgap should be required. The machine only sees the game with a camera/pair-of-cameras. The machine only makes moves osing electromechanical servos placed over a controller/keyboard.

    To be fair, if Tesla goes bankrupt, that means somebody will buy what gets liquidated. There will be a lucrative market for that entity, even if no further Tesla vehicles are produced.

    Why would I pay for my truck? The last payment was over five years ago.

    I have a 1959 (yellow) Lawnboy 2 cycle that you'd probably like.

  10. Delete social media from your phone.

    If you have friends, text message or talk to them directly.

  11. The power is a separe thing from the money. The power is vested in government, which is controlled by the people.

    Sometimes plutocrats like Tim Cook try to subvert this power, but it doesn't end well for them.

  18. An IBM 5100 For The Weekend on Slashdot Asks: Did You Have a Shared Family Computer Growing Up? (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    When I was growing up, a useful 'home computer' was not something that existed. But my father worked for IBM. I was in high school in the late 70's and on a number of occasions dad brought home an IBM 5100 for us to play with. The 5100 was a portable computer that had BASIC and APL built into it. There was a toggle switch on the front and you could switch it from BASIC to APL before powering it on to have it be a machine running either language. It had tape cartrige mass storage.

    We played 'Star Trek' on it among other things. It was definitely a family experience.

    Incidentally (or not) the first IBM PC was designated the Model 5150.

    Trump is definitely not a good politician. It's right for political people to really freak out about him.
