    Oh come on, it's the Internet, and Slash Dot, you expect accuracy? It's all about the clicks... doesn't have to be true, only has to anger people...

  2. California, the poster child for the environmental wackos has a "mountain of modern municipal and industrial wastes"

    I'll be snickering for hours about that one.

  3. Trump retweeted the meme because he has a sense of humor and thought it was cute.

    Unlike your typical politician who says nothing eloquently in circles like most Presidents I can remember.

  5. 134 degrees Fahrenheit

    This summer has been a scorcher in many parts of the nation, but this sweat-inducing heat has nothing on the highest temperature ever recorded in the United States, the whopping 134 degrees Fahrenheit that sent the mercury soaring in Death Valley on July 10, 1913.

    Before the climate change moneybaggers had even been born even! When CO2 levels were a FRACTION of what they allegedly are today...

    No, no, no every tiny little thing that happens - that can be leveraged for political gain - must be MAGNIFIED TEN THOUSAND MILLION TIMES for two simple reasons: 1) The left has no policies or solutions 2) People on the web need the impression/click revenue.

    The research was contracted by the City of Seattle who most certainly wanted the results to make them look good. I'm sure the WaPoo spun it into the exact opposite.

    Uber progressive Seattle does the Uber Progressive thing and raises the minimum wage, then contracts the University of Seattle - another uber Progressive institution - to prove to the world that their uber progressive doings really, really work...

    And lo and behold it turns out that it failed at $15/Hr but worked pretty decent a little lower than that.

    And right here on /. you see the uber progressive ideological hacks saying no, no, no we are right and everyone else is wrong. And you wonder why Trump got elected... Because he's not an ideological hack that's married to talking points no matter what the evidence suggests DUH

    I'm no die hard anything, social progressive, fiscal conservative but people, for crissakes, learn to ADAPT and CHANGE nothing is fixed in stone.

    Ranting aside kudo's to /. for printing this I was going to submit this story with an I DARE YOU TO PUBLISH THIS headline...

    I'm with you. I have an iPad Air, wife has the 12" Galaxy and while the screen on the Galaxy is AMAZING using it sucks because it's just too big to hold on to.

    I can't see the point in having a monitor with a computer in it that can talk to a bluetooth keyboard that won't run Windows, Linux, or Mac Linux. If you need portability... A micro cube with a decent monitor and a keyboard mouse fits in a suitcase...

  11. #clickbait again on New Study Confirms the Oceans Are Warming Rapidly (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    The summary contains two links, one to an article that discusses how the data is crap - same story as the atmosphere, the satellite data doesn't jive with the manipulated ground data, and a second link to a story in the Guardian. For the reader who isn't paying attention they both might be misconstrued as scientific studies.

    As long as one resorts to trickery and misdirection people are going to think you're making shit up.

  13. #fakenews on Walmart to Vendors: Get Off Amazon's Cloud (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    This story is simply not true. What WalMart is doing is telling suppliers they must host their own product images and feed them to WalMart's website.

    Nothing in any of the official communication from WalMart about this said ANYTHING about a preferred cloud vendor.

    This story comes from SnowFlake Computing, a startup that's trying to make a name for itself... but as of yet hasn't got squat.

    Elon Musk's main claim to fame is that he has fleeced more money out of governments than any man in the history of the planet. Sure, the cars are cool, but for eighy grand I could buy any number of cool cars.

    The problem with your thinking is that at microwave frequencies the wires in the device can easily become little transmitters themselves, so you can't use point to point wiring and terminal strips on those frequencies it just doesn't work...

    Correct and there's also that small issue that in the late 40's the predominant mode was AM which uses a very large swatch of bandwidth as it's double sided carrier. And then there's that pesky problem that point to point wiring and vacuum tubes is wholly unsuited for anything in the microwave range, where lead lengths and component tolerances are extreme.

    Frankly I think the author of this so called study has about as much engineering experience as my dog.

    Absolutely but denser air means more oxygen which should result in a higher fuel burn = more efficiency.

  21. Absolutely correct. By the leftist standard:

    When Trump said he would not investigate Hillary for the good of the country that was clearly obstruction of justice.

  22. Ordering him to stop would have been legal.

  23. And yet Trump could have stopped the investigation and it would have been completely legal he has that right.

    ICE cars lose range in the Winter because they change the fuel mix. I find from State to State I get wildly different mileage as different states allow more alcohol in the gas. What's actually impressive is the improvements in fuel mileage we'd get if we didn't dilute gas with alcohol. If you have a modern car with a decent computer in it. find some ethanol free gas (Most marina's have it) and try a full tank of that, you'll be amazed at the mileage you get...
