  1. Re:Two-cylinder on BMW Debuts First Electric Vehicle Made Primarily of Carbon Fiber · · Score: 4, Informative

    The engine is optional for people with range anxiety. You use it to generate electricity, not to drive the wheels directly.

  2. Re:"rant" is a nice way of putting it on Dr. Dobb's Calls BS On Obsession With Simple Code · · Score: 1

    To put it bluntly, you underestimate kids and overestimate yourself

  3. Re:Backfire? on Verizon Accused of Intentionally Slowing Netflix Video Streaming · · Score: 1

    Redbox has its own netflix-like streaming service now

  4. Re:DON'T PUT SERVERS IN BASEMENTS on Jon 'Maddog' Hall On Project Cauã: a Server In Every Highrise · · Score: 1

    (A legitimate curiosity question. I agree with the rest of what you said, I'm just ignorant on that bit)

  5. Re:DON'T PUT SERVERS IN BASEMENTS on Jon 'Maddog' Hall On Project Cauã: a Server In Every Highrise · · Score: 1

    So... how exactly is he going to connect to ground fiber if not from the basement?

  6. umm... on Genomics Impact On US Economy Approaches $1 Trillion · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So in other words this stuff really is overpriced?

    This is an insightful comment.

  8. Re:Why? on NTSB Recommends Lower Drunk Driving Threshold Nationwide: 0.05 BAC · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Exactly. More arrests means more money.

  9. discrimination on Dropcam CEO's Beef With Brogramming and Free Dinners · · Score: 1

    Did this guy just publicly admit to job discrimination? As in he won't hire single young childess male programmers?

  10. Re:Seems like..... on Wordpress Sites Under Wide-Scale Brute Force Attack · · Score: 1

    Don't listen to them. It is quite possible.

  11. Re:What a Scam? on OUYA Console Starts Shipping To Kickstarter Backers · · Score: 1

    Fine. Let me rephrase. As an investor I fully expect any company to have customer support. If not then I wouldn't invest in them because they won't succeed.

    Bad communication is bad communication. Call it whatever you want.

  13. Re:What a Scam? on OUYA Console Starts Shipping To Kickstarter Backers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They're a small company, you want them to spend money on a call center or the device?

    Yes. YES. 1,000 times yes. If you have customers, you REQUIRE a customer service department, a department that services customers, by definition. Don't get me wrong, I agree with the rest of what you said. It's just that if you have customers, you'd better treat them right or they won't be coming back. I understand that they're a small group and a new startup, but business is business.

  14. Re:Um... on Wrong Fuel Chokes Presidential Limo · · Score: 1

    Seriously? I haven't ever seen any stations that don't offer both diesel and regular...

    If you read about it you would know they've got you covered and you can bring those sticks too.

  16. Re:Let me get this straight on Hockey Sticks Among Carry-On Items TSA Has Cleared For Planes · · Score: 3

    If you take a look they still ban small knives, just not super tiny toy swiss army knife style ones that people forget are on their keychains.

  17. Re:What is a "great relationship"? on LG Not Working On Windows Phone 8 Devices · · Score: 1

    But which is the parasite and which is the host?

  18. Re:not new on Ask Slashdot: Is the Bar Being Lowered At Universities? · · Score: 1

    You say that, and I agree that is supposed to happen, but welcome to the real world buddy.

  19. not new on Ask Slashdot: Is the Bar Being Lowered At Universities? · · Score: 5, Informative

    This is nothing new. Universities have a BROAD set of admissions standards. In any college you will frequently find people who you wonder how they got there. Even if they didn't someone could get in via money, lying, legacy, getting lucky, socio-economics, knowing a guy in the admissions office, you name it...

  20. Re:What happens when the machine dies? on Retail Copies of Office 2013 Are Tied To a Single Computer Forever · · Score: 1

    Huh? I've been swapping out car stereos for years and I've never even heard of this...

  21. For what purpose? on Which Cloud System Is the Most Open? · · Score: 2

    There's lots of cloud systems out there serving different purposes. Without the purpose defined this question is useless.

    I can't say that I've even used Exchange in my 30 years of life and 18 years of computing...

  23. Scrolling not working on Experience the New Slashdot Mobile Site · · Score: 1

    On my Note 2 the mobile site is having trouble registering any scrolling. It's most likely due to bad javascript.

    I'm not sure why you think this is unique to the new generation of kids.

  25. Re:Just stop using Skype on Privacy Advocates Demand Transparency From Skype · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So what you're saying is you never need to talk to someone who uses Skype?
