  1. Re:Step 1: Remove the Code of Cancer. on Linus Torvalds is Back in Charge of Linux (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I learn new things and gain new insights every day, and I am 60.

  2. It would be great if the US would do the same. on UK Steps Towards Zero-Carbon Economy (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    Even if you don't believe in climate change wouldn't it be nice to enjoy cleaner air and purer water? It sure would make those hunting and fishing trips much more enjoyable now wouldn't it? No matter which side of the great "climate debate" you fall on, it makes no sense to be against improving the environment we all have to live in.

  3. Anybody can destroy a private... on Senate Passes Bill That Lets the Government Destroy Private Drones (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    ...drone that is flying over the private property. There was a court case that settled that a while ago.

  4. Calling Dick Tracy! on Slashdot Asks: Anyone Considering an Apple Watch 4? (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    I may be wrong, but my understanding is you must still have an iPhone to use the Apple watch. So, until the watch is completely standalone, my answer would be no.

  5. Re: Rock and hard place on Trump Tells Apple To Make Products In the US To Avoid China Tariffs (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    So why don't they?

  6. Re:Is one of the addons Pocket? on Mozilla Removes 23 Firefox Add-Ons That Snooped On Users (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    I was totally flabbergasted to find my default page connected to sites I had no interest in after my last system upgrade. What brainiac thought this one up?

  7. Re:Hey lets remove the old addons. on Mozilla Removes 23 Firefox Add-Ons That Snooped On Users (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    Okay, but the main thing I want is a status bar on my desktop computer, the ability to easily add bookmarks with just a click or two, and I certainly don't need a "pocket" connecting to websites I want nothing to do with.

  8. Re:Class Action? on MoviePass' New Business Plan Is To Charge You Whatever It Wants (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    You'd have to get inline behind the investors who have seen the share price drop from a high of $38 to a low of 18 cents. Today's close was $0.1906. Movie pass is losing somewhere in the neighborhood of $20 million a month and are churning out billions of new shares to try to cover it.

  9. Nvidia is dead money! on Nvidia Looks To Gag Journalists With Multi-Year Blanket NDAs (hardocp.com) · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Their refusal to open up their specifications to ever increasingly popular Linux systems will be the death of them.

  10. Why are all these weird characters in your post? Don't you have a regular text editor?

  11. It would be great if... on Europe Plans Ban on Plastic Cutlery, Straws and More (cnn.com) · · Score: 0

    ...the U.S. would subscribe to protecting our environment as much as our European neighbors did. Unfortunately, we are stuck with Mr. "Screw Everybody" Trump as President.

  12. Re:Enjoy the almost free ride while it lasts on Most MoviePass Subscribers Have Gone To a Movie They Normally Would've Ignored (exstreamist.com) · · Score: 1

    So true, the stock has gone from $38.00 to $0.40 per share. Apparently they are losing $22 million a month, and down to $43 million in the bank.

  13. Re:Content is king on Netflix's DVD Rental Business Is Still Profitable (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Movie theaters are the worse. They won't pause the movie when you have to go pee or get a phone call, volume is set to their liking, and they charge per person viewing the show.

  14. So is drinking, should we... on Supreme Court Strikes Down Federal Law Prohibiting Sports Gambling (espn.com) · · Score: 1

    ...try Prohibition again? Every place I've worked at has had a pool on one sport or another whether it be legal or not.

  15. Great Idea!! on Medicare To Require Hospitals To Post Prices Online (pbs.org) · · Score: 1

    Will be even better if they post patient outcomes too. That would be pretty significant data in determining whether cost of care correlate to results.

  16. Re:Of course they are! on German Supreme Court Rules Ad Blockers Legal (faz.net) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Can't see why anyone would have anything against this law. Yes, at least in the US anyway, there is the right to speak your mind. But there is no right to make anyone listen to what you have to say.

  17. Of course they are! on German Supreme Court Rules Ad Blockers Legal (faz.net) · · Score: 2

    I can't think of any reason they wouldn't be. After all, my computer is my property, not yours.

  18. Tried contacts, it was a no go for me. on FDA Approves First Contact Lenses That Turn Dark In Bright Sunlight (interestingengineering.com) · · Score: 1

    I gave contacts a try, but I just could not tolerate sticking myself in the eye to put them in. And besides, at the time they were not very good at correcting both nearsightedness and astigmatism at the same time. Add to that the need for bifocals for close reading. Discovered that when I had to start taking my glasses off to read small print.

    Anyway, the permanent imprints on my nose from 45+ years of wearing spectacles will remain until I die.

  19. Foundation may just be... on Apple Is Developing a TV Show Based On Isaac Asimov's Foundation Series (deadline.com) · · Score: 2

    ...too cerebral for T.V., I doubt it will fly.

  20. But Facebook doesn't just track the idiots, it tracks everybody those idiots interract with whether they are a Facebook user or not. That is exactly what the government needs to crack down on and crack down hard.

  21. Looked outside. on World Cities Go Dark For 'Earth Hour' Climate Campaign (afp.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    All my cities lights are still on. Doesn't seem to be an "all" thing to me.

  22. Re:why is the graphics subsystem churning for deca on A New Era For Linux's Low-level Graphics (collabora.com) · · Score: 1

    Because just about everyone wants killer graphics instead of just good enough?

  23. Do away with links in emails already! on 1 in 3 Michigan Workers Tested Opened A Password-Phishing Email (go.com) · · Score: 1

    Seriously, these phishing scams have been going on for far too long now and cost billions. If there is information that can not be disseminated people should be directed to go to a well vetted website.

  24. Appropriate decision. on Trump Issues Order To Block Broadcom's Takeover of Qualcomm (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It is hard enough for us to protect our privacy against the likes of Google. Throwing foreign entities into the mix would be suicide.

  25. As long as Uber allows anyone heading their way to jump on board, all is good.
