  1. Re:A nuclear power plant (and its control room)? on Ask Slashdot: After We're Gone, the Last Electrical Device Still Working? · · Score: 1

    The nuclear pile still puts out a decent amount of heat after scram, and there are thermocouples down there for emergency power.

    God I miss the days of good cellphones. My Nokia N82 was epic in battery life. Back when Nokia made the absolute best cellphones in the solar system.

    Why? just a nice big automated turret.

    Belt fed twin 40mm high rate of fire grenade launchers that are computer controlled so that all you do it highlight the target and press fire and it does the rest.

    Although I prefer this .... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C...

    Set to automatic and forget about tailgaters or idiots trying to brake check.

    Exactly, I am afraid that if "researchers" that should know this basic property are just now discovering it.... IT means the value of an advanced degree is complete and utter rubbish.

  6. Re:why use anything besides Kodi? on What Might Have Happened To Windows Media Center · · Score: 2

    What are you smoking? it works great as a DVR. I'm guessing you never used Kodi and only XBMC from about 10 years ago.
    and to hell with "premium channel support" flip to the RoKu box for that. you do know your TV has more than 1 input.

    As your boss. Not go mop up puke in aisle 4 again you loser.

  8. Re:alternatives on Critics Say It's Time To Close La Guardia Airport · · Score: 1

    The lack of video conferencing problem is mentally incapacitated management. Plus that many "businessmen" use business travel as an excuse to bill a vacation to the company, or enjoy an out of town mistress.

    Any company that does not have a good video conferencing system in at least 2 conference rooms is ran by morons.

  9. Do it to both NY airports. on Critics Say It's Time To Close La Guardia Airport · · Score: 1

    Recently flew into JFK and I was amazed at how crappy that airport is. Dirty, nasty, and falling apart. just look at the ceiling and see how much dirt is everywhere.

    It's like they can't bother to hire custodians and clean. seating all looked like hell, 90% of all the electrical outlets were destroyed.

    Yeah, not impressed for a city that has as much wealth as it does.

    "It's very well understood that DVDs can't be copied."

    I have spent a lot of time educating people that that is actually a lie and you can copy them. and giving people the tools to do exactly that on their computers.

    Been doing that for over 10 years now. Now I show them how to do it to DVD's and Blurays. Education empowers you.

  13. Re:I'd like to see the environmental nightmare die on Keurig Stock Drops, Says It Was Wrong About DRM Coffee Pods · · Score: 2

    Exactly. Either you have good coffee in earth destroying pods, or you get the compostable pods with the most rancid low grade floor sweepings coffee out there.

  14. Nobody bought the 2.0 on Keurig Stock Drops, Says It Was Wrong About DRM Coffee Pods · · Score: 1

    I see a lot of people looking for the older units, in fact they sell incredibly well. The 2.0 crap? absolutely nobody wants them.

    Dear Keurig want to save your company go back to the old 1.0 and stay there, refund everyone that was dumb enough to buy your 2.0 and send them an apology letter.

    No surprise they can't understand science. Have you met the average football fan?

  16. Re:Makes no sense on Why Companies Should Hire Older Developers · · Score: 2

    "often cannot do overtime"

    It's not that I can not do the overtime, It's that I refuse to work overtime because of a moron manager that screwed around. I will not sacrifice my life to fix a manager that is being a lazy fuck up.

    When I get handed a hot project that I discover was sitting on his desk for 2 months before being handed off. I'll let that deadline sail by like a pretty jet and wave at it as it goes by.

  17. Problem is idiots in management. on Why Companies Should Hire Older Developers · · Score: 1

    Older workers actually use the vacation time, we also are not happy to be treated as a slave. Managers dont like employees that fight back when abused.

  18. Re:One small problem on What To Say When the Police Tell You To Stop Filming Them · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It has always been a fact that cops are the biggest liars, It's been that way for over 3000 years.

  19. you lie to them. on What To Say When the Police Tell You To Stop Filming Them · · Score: 2

    You say, "ok officer" but keep filming them from your waist level, or from a distance. Honestly, get a frigging telephoto lens for your phone or carry a good video camera where you can be far enough away so you are not noticed.

    People need to be recording the police all the time and posting it all in public places. Cops need a strong light on them at all times, they need to be afraid of the public, and afraid of not being professional in public.

    I also say we need to film them when off duty, rat on the fucking scum cops that speed and violate laws.
