  2. Start subsidy to to eliminate hybrid cars on Norway Powers Ahead (Electrically): Over Half New Car Sales Now Electric or Hybrid (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    Since hybrid cars still use fossil fuels, they should start subsidizing electric cars to eliminate hybrids.

    This is slashdot. Sometimes it's a little slow.

    You do know what "blue blood" means, right?

    Sounds like a job for Elon Musk and his Boring Company.

  8. Khaki pants on Can Docker Survive Google? (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    When I saw Docker in the title I thought this was about khaki pants.

  9. Started with porn on Movie Ticket Sales Hit A 22-Year Low in 2017 (msn.com) · · Score: 1

    Once you could get porn over the Internet, no one went to those movies any more. As streaming movies becomes more capable, you are slowly going to kill the theater experience. Who needs to go to a theater to see a massive wide screen, when you already have one at home?

  10. Re:OT: Programming Question on Slashdot's 10 Most-Visited Stories of 2017 (slashdot.org) · · Score: 1

  13. Apple should rename itself to "Steve Wozniak" in retaliation.

  14. Re:Huh? on How Pirates Of The Caribbean Hijacked America's Metric System (npr.org) · · Score: 3, Informative

    The US doesn't use the imperial system. It uses the English system. The Imperial system wasn't created until 1824, after the US split from England. They never made the change. Though the names are the same, some of the units of measure are different.

  15. Talk like a Pirate day! on How Pirates Of The Caribbean Hijacked America's Metric System (npr.org) · · Score: 5, Funny

    That is why we still celebrate talk like a pirate day! To commemorate the day we defeated the metric system!

  18. Convert it to x86? on Apple To Release Lisa OS For Free As Open Source In 2018 (iphoneincanada.ca) · · Score: 1

    I doubt if anyone is going to use it on 68K hardware. So, what are we supposed to do with it? I have a Mac SE, but I don't think it would operate long enough any more to do a conversion to that hardware. Maybe someone will convert it to run on x86 hardware.

  19. North Korea needed some cash on Bitcoin Recovers Some Losses After Its Worst Week Since 2013 (reuters.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    North Korea probably cashed out, so they could afford a new missile or bomb or something.

    Computers are a passing fad. They will be gone within a few years.

  23. When I first read the headline, I thought it said Romulan. Like Star Trek aliens were taking over.

  24. Yes, but you have to have a location with ocean to the south for safety. Unless we start launching from Alaska, there aren't more northerly locations with the ocean to the south.

  25. It didn't land, but... on SpaceX Rocket Stuns Californians As It Carries 10 Satellites Into Space (theguardian.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    For some reason SpaceX didn't want this one back. It was a Mod 3, and they are building Mod 5s. It was its second flight, so I guess they had no need for it. But, they did go through the landing procedure. When the second stage released, you could see the first stage fire its return to land burn. You could also hear them announce the reentry burn. I think I even heard them announce the landing burn. But there was no ship to land on. I guess they just did all this for testing and practice.
