  5. my first job / project on So You Automated Your Coworkers Out of a Job (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    My first job as an ME intern during college was to help design a machine to automate product inspection.

    I was present when the machine was moved into QA department ... right in the center of the human inspectors.

    They knew what their new co-worker was about to do and they were staring at me. It was awkward but such is progress.

    The warranty is still honored by the new owners.

  7. Re:I don't. on 'Two Years Later, I Still Miss the Headphone Port' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I simply shrink wrapped the adapter onto the end of my 3.5 mm equipped headphones. I use separate headphones with my 3.5mm equipment vs my iphone though, so might not be a solution for those who need to mix and match.

  8. Re: Worked for Ma Bell. Sounds like a good idea. on Tim Berners-Lee Says Tech Giants May Have To Be Split Up (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't agree with Facebook in "product" and "principals" but this sounds alot like old Russia to me. No thanks.

  9. Re:If you volunteered your time... on 'Open Source Creators: Red Hat Got $34 Billion and You Got $0. Here's Why.' (tidelift.com) · · Score: 1

    Eggactly, if you don't want to volunteer look for a paid gig. If you can't get a paid gig, then consider volunteering.

    Wow.

  13. impressive on Bloodhound's 1,000 MPH Car Project Needs Money (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    "Bloodhound has already built and tested a viable racing car to speeds of 200mph"

    I think a couple rich guys in my neighborhood bought cars capable speeds of 200mph, with factory warranties.

  14. Re:Massive goverment failure on Equifax Web Site Designer Fined $50,000 And Confined To Home Over Insider Trading (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Thank you ... you are a fine example of right wing NPC.

  15. Since when is the US government against tracking of users on the internet. If that were the case they would discontinue their Facebook site.

  16. Re:Right. And the Black Hawk military helicopter? on Mystery Solved: FBI Closed New Mexico Observatory to Investigate Child Porn (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Locally it seems SWAT teams are deployed for shoplifters these days, it not surprising the gov't deployed all their toys for a crazy diddling janitor mumbling it was only a matter of time before the facility 'got hit' ... at a federal facility.

  17. I think technically they are FCC 1984 phones (Reagan phones) but who cares, those who keep beating that drum are already dead for the most part.

  18. Wow, the promise of 1 million jobs selling cheap consumer products. Now that's a recipe for a healthy economy.

  19. Re:I can only applaud this! on More Than 1 In 4 American Users Have Deleted Facebook, Pew Survey Finds (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 2

    Nope, private group chats. At least that is what my step kids do. They maintain a harmless presence on Instagram to fool their parents. From what I can tell, there will be no appreciation of Facebook on the basis of "nostalgia" because they haven't built up a Facebook history to be nostalgic about.

  20. Re:Monopoly is meaningless? on Amazon Hits $1 Trillion Market Value Milestone (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    True ... even with 4-5% of the entire retail market it's a tough sell they are a monopoly, they don't seem to be controlling the supply of retail goods at an inflated price. But they do sell alot of disposable crap (Amazon Basics) at inflated prices and drive over your lawn to deliver them (Amazon Delivery). Shame!

  21. service? on Popular Subscription Email Service Newton Mail Is Being Discontinued (thurrott.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The title say "Popular Subscription Email Service" but I think it's really a client app subscription, an app that connects to other email services. So yea... might be tough to find a $100 market there. If it were a true service + client maybe they could offer something like privacy ... pretty sure you don't get that with the free email services.

  22. In the spirit of Slashdot ... can we use this in a Tesla 3 battery?

  24. Re:I liked MacRumors reporting of the news on Apple Becomes the First $1 Trillion US Company in History (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    It's revenue is more on the order of 1.25% GDP ... I think ... which is still a solid % for a single company.

  25. I'm think you mean finite, there is definitely finite amount of land capable of growing trees.
