  1. I thought they were replaced with robots on Japan Moves To Ease Aging Drivers Out of Their Cars (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    There is no where to park in Japan. So they are replacing drivers with robots so the cars can just keep driving around looking for a parking space.

    I always thought it was Intel/IBM/Microsoft, but I've been around for a while.

    It their rockets don't work, how did they get all those rovers to Mars?

  5. Re:Voip is better. on Microsoft Turned Customers Against the Skype Brand (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    VoIP is voice over IP. Skype also offers video. I don't doubt many VoIP programs also offer video.

  6. Re:Actually the world mice population is shrinking on Large Island Declared Rat-Free in Biggest Removal Success (nationalgeographic.com) · · Score: 2

    Well, they keep suing people for inappropriate touching. I don't think they have a future.

  7. It had to be rats...

  8. Spent many hours in the car listening to my parents play music on 8-track.

  9. When the Moon is in the seventh house... on Orbits of Jupiter and Venus Affect Earth's Climate, Says Study (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    And Jupiter aligns with Mars Then peace will guide the planets And love will steer the stars

  10. They need a 20th anniversary version on Apple's iMac Turns 20 Years Old (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    They need to bring out a colorful 20th anniversary version, instead of the plain aluminum ones they currently make.

  11. It's not rocket science on Tesla Stock Plunged After Elon Musk's 'Bizarre' Conference Call (wired.com) · · Score: 1, Funny

    Go back to launching and landing rockets. The stock market isn't rocket science.

  12. Re:Earthquake, Hurricane, Tsunami, Vulcanic erupti on Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano Erupts, Prompting Evacuation Orders (chicagotribune.com) · · Score: 1

    They just had a 6.9 magnitude earthquake. Next up, the Tsunami...

  13. Sorry, but I find it one of the greatest movies ever made. It's one I often watch again. Except for the 20 min color montage toward the end, I fast forward through that. The movie uses perspectives that aren't often used in motion pictures any more, and rarely in the past. It works to put you into the perspective of the subject, and you only know what he knows. It doesn't explain the situation to you, you have to experience it and figure it out just as the subject does, too. People don't seem to like movies that make you think, they want everything handed to them so they can sit there like a lump.

  14. Re:Krusty? on NASA Successfully Tests New Nuclear Reactor For Future Space Travelers (npr.org) · · Score: 3, Funny

    The only nuclear reactor endorsed by a clown.

  15. Earthquake, Hurricane, Tsunami, Vulcanic eruption! on Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano Erupts, Prompting Evacuation Orders (chicagotribune.com) · · Score: 1

    These all happen in Hawaii. Sooner or later, chance dictates that they will all occur at the same time. That would be a bad day to be on the island.

  16. As in "the clown?" Hopefully no one there is named Bart.

  18. Re:Still can't detect incompatible hardware on Ask Slashdot: Any Idiosyncrasies of the New Windows 10 April 2018 Update? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    He's referring to older versions of Windows that keep trying to upgrade. They download the hardware check software, discover that the hardware is incomparable, and stop. But, they try again the next month.

    Great idea! I wish I had thought of it!

  20. Re:Fukushima ... chernobyl ... 3 mile island. on Russia Launches Floating Nuclear Power Plant That's Headed To the Arctic (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    You forgot all the nuclear powered ships and submarines.

  21. They would stop manufacturing them. Simple solution.

    He was too busy panicking

  23. Just as Ford gives up on making cars on The Auto Plants of the Future May Have a Surprisingly Human Touch (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Hopefully it will help Ford make trucks and SUVs.

  24. Re:different wireless protocols on Sprint, T-Mobile Aiming To Reach Merger Deal Next Week (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    Sprint using WiMax basically killed that technology. It would have been a great way to get last mile access to people who weren't near towns or main internet connectivity. Sprint screwed up trying to use it for mobile data. I wish someone would pick it up and run with it where it should have been used. Even slow service is better than dial up that many rural homes are stuck with.

  25. Make towers that look like trees on Old AM Broadcast Towers Get a New Life · · Score: 1

    I love the various attempts at making cell towers look like trees. Some blend in very well. Others are very obviously fake, especially when there are no other trees around. Still, they look better than naked metal.
