  1. Ancestry matched my twin sisters on Identical Twins Test 5 DNA Ancestry Kits, Get Different Results On Each (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    Both my twin sisters submitted their DNA on Ancestry, and on the matches page, it said of the other twin - this person is either you, or an identical twin.

  2. I have a friend who works for a company in the know, and he mentioned to me months ago that there would be no 5G for iPhone until 2020. And funnily enough, my response was fairly similar - that it will take a while for the network rollout to become fit for use and for apps to take advantage of what 5G bring over 4G.

  3. Worried about eavesdroppers on iPhone? on Worried About Trump iPhone Eavesdroppers? China Recommends a Huawei (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Get a Huawei, then it's guaranteed

  4. On the first day of career... on The First Rule of Microsoft Excel -- Don't Tell Anyone You're Good at It (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    My manager told me don't be good at anything you don't want to do for the rest of your life. Probably the best advice I've ever gotten in my 13 years. The problem is you don't realise how important those words are until you become good at something.

  5. Find my device is new? on Slashdot Asks: What Are Your Favorite Android Oreo Features? (thehackernews.com) · · Score: 1

    My mum lost her phone a couple of weeks ago. I helped her find it with this: https://www.google.com/android... So how exactly is #10 new?

  6. The ISPs just do DNS blocking. Switch to the google DNS and you are gold

  7. Used to be a standard feature on a Nokia on FCC Chairman Wants It To Be Easier To Listen To Free FM Radio On Your Smartphone (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    Now that they are back, I wonder if FM will be enabled on them

  8. If it wasn't for piracy, they would have made $100 Billion

  9. I bought my iPhone 6S from Telstra in Australia, and I had this issue too (it once died at 66%). My girlfriend got a 6S from Optus, same problem. She got so fed up with it she went to the Apple store, they ran diagnostics but the hardware came up ok. The genius said they have had reports of this issue, and that engineers at Apple were aware of it, but no updates as yet, so its still an issue for her. I made my problem go away by upgrading to a 7.

  10. I beat the world to making a time machine... on IBM Beats The Rest of the World To 7nm Chips, But You'll Need to Wait For Them · · Score: 1

    ...but I don't know when it will be commercially available

  11. That depends on How Much Python Do You Need To Know To Be Useful? · · Score: 1

    Define useful

  12. Don't be good at anything... on Ask Slashdot: What Do You Wish You'd Known Starting Your First "Real" Job? · · Score: 1

    "Don't be good at anything you don't want to do for the rest of your life."

    Those were the words of my first supervisor on my first day, and after almost 10 years experience in software development, no truer words have been spoken to me since.

  13. Name? on Scientists Create Mice From 2 Fathers · · Score: 1

    I hope they didn't call the mouse Luke.
    Mouse1: I am your father
    Mouse2: No, I am your father

  14. Re:So? on Vuvuzelas Blare On Pirated Copies of Music Game · · Score: 1

    Nope. I liked it so much I made it my ringtone.

  15. Re:Facebook + Apple = ... on The Case For Apple Buying Facebook · · Score: 1

    Let me introduce to you the.... Applebook!

    When you buy an Applebook, all you can do is load Facebook!. Wait, that doesn't sound appealing at all. iApplebook? Yep, people will definetly buy that

  16. Labour winning is good and bad on Australia's National Broadband Network To Go Ahead · · Score: 1

    Good because the NBN is going ahead (Liberals broadband plan was a joke). Bad because Senator Conroy is still in a position to put in the internet filter. As a side note, and I don't have a reference right now, but I recall reading/hearing somewhere that it will be much cheaper to build (in the order or $7B or so if i recall correctly) than originally planned based on the trial performed in some suburbs. I don't know how accurate/reliable that report was though.

  17. For some, there is no choice on Should Developers Have Access To Production? · · Score: 1

    I have systems which go out to site, and sometimes, I need root access to them because we simply don't have access to the hardware in our R&D lab, and need to test code on a production system.

  18. Let me at 'em on New Research Suggests G-Spot Doesn't Exist · · Score: 1

    How about they give me 1800 women, and I'll decide wether or not a g-spot exists

  19. Re:As evil as it sounds... on AU Authority Moves To Censor Net Filtering Protest Site · · Score: 1

    I'm in the States, and Steven Conroy makes me want to punch him.

    Here is a plane ticket. You will get your Australian citizenship when Conroy shows up to a press conference with a black eye.

  20. Re:Oh sure... on US Nuclear Sub Crashes Into US Navy Amphibious Vessel · · Score: 5, Funny

    The navigator was constantly refreshing /. trying to get first post

  21. Re:I don't mind a little bit of noise from a HDD on Silencing a Hard Drive Using Household Items · · Score: 1

    Exactly. If my HDD starts making the clunk of death, I don't want anything preventing me from hearing it. In fact, I want to hear that one loud and clear.

  22. I don't mind a little bit of noise from a HDD on Silencing a Hard Drive Using Household Items · · Score: 2

    Whilst I could do without the constant whine of the drive spinning, I actually like that I can hear the heads doing their thing because you can use it as another way to monitor what my system is doing. If the hdd starts making lots of noise when I don't expect it to, I want to know whats going on.

  23. His face? on Halloween Pumpkin Carving With CNC Robotics · · Score: 1

    ...A guy at Lumenlab has created a way to carve his face on a pumpkin ...

    Thats his face?

  24. On to next text... on Single Neuron Wired To Muscle Un-Paralyzes Monkeys · · Score: 1

    Next up, getting them to dance. Dance monkey boy, dance...

  25. Re:That's why I prefer... on People Prefer Angry-Faced Cars · · Score: 1

    I prefer popup lights too, because it makes me feel like a sleeping ninja
