    One of our cats is deaf. He does respond to gestures, though. But it's difficult to skype him because he isn't always interested in looking at the computer screen.

    Right. My grandpa told me in 1968 that The Oil Companies had bought the patent for the simple inexpensive additive that turns tap water into 100 octane gasoline.

    even after towing that missile cruiser [wikipedia.org] back to port.

    That case is ancient. It's Windows 4.0 old. It's Rex Ballard advocacy old. It's tired and anybody with a clue remembers people citing it ten years ago when it was already extremely outdated and old.

    You are not a law abiding citizen if you race down the road above the speed limit.

    In the real world, unlike here in blogland, Musk is viewed based on his performance, not ideological dreams.

  8. Re: Lone Skum on Short-Sellers Sue Tesla After Musk's 'Going Private' Tweets (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    A lot of the most strident Tesla supporters, especially here on Slashdot, are ideological investors. They think Musk is an environmental savior doing good for the planet. As such, they view any attackers as evil. Not just wrong or misguided. Evil.

    It's a nice little army for Musk to have marching for him. It badly distorts the discussion. Many investors have no ideological motivation, wether they are short or long, the ideologues could turn on them at any time.

    Enjoy the public domain stories, then. You can probably download them from Project Gutenberg.

    Reading is such a powerful form of entertainment. We have the world's most powerful 3D rendering engines built right into our heads and just need to plug in the source media and start rendering it.

    The Disney movies are bowderized shiny copies of the original folklore they took from to base the films on. In most cases we'd be better off just getting rid of the Disney version.

    Disney stuff isn't that important. Most of the best Disney content derives it's value from folklore that is in the public domain. We need to just rout around the locked-down content and make new culture.

    Facebook does not have 'sites' that it can ban. They might host 'pages' that people are foolish enough to consider their 'sites.'

    If you want a host a site, rent a server or a spot on a server and host your site. Facebook has no say in what you host on it.

    Big difference.

  21. Update to a DX. Your 80387sx has a staggering amount of collector's value now, because almost nobody except apparently you was foolish enough to buy one. You can sell it to a collector and probably buy a current i7 processor with the proceeds. Or you could afford a 12 MHz 386DX. Those are rare, too.

  22. Well, you could carry a cellphone in your pocket that has tethering, and use a VOIP app on the low-end Kindle tablet.

    The drone isn't being 'taught' anything either, which was implied in the summary. It's 'programmed' just like a PIC embedded controller or a furby is programmed.
