  1. So they should just use their cell phone? on Brain Cancer Patients Live Longer By Sending Electric Fields Through Their Heads (ieee.org) · · Score: 0

    Wouldn't just talking on their cell phone all day have the same effect?

  2. Dies on Black Friday on Fidel Castro Is Dead (nytimes.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    The most capitalist day of the year.

  3. Do a barrel roll! on VLC Media Player Previews 360-degree Video Support (videolan.org) · · Score: 1

    Finally, you can do a 360 in VLC.

  4. All that CO2 and warm breath is warming up the atmosphere!

  5. Can I buy maps? on Google Opens Real-World 'Google Shops' in Canada (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    Maps are getting hard to find. Also, can I get my photos printed?

  6. Re:AOL has risen from HELL? on AOL To Cut 500 Workers To Narrow Focus On Mobile, Video (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    You've got mail!

  7. More Americans get their news from the Daily Show on Facebook Users Interacted Most With Articles From Fox News, CNN and Breitbart In Month Leading Up To Nov 10 · · Score: 1

    than any other nationality.

  8. I got most of my news from the Onion on Facebook Users Interacted Most With Articles From Fox News, CNN and Breitbart In Month Leading Up To Nov 10 · · Score: 5, Funny

    It seemed to make as much sense as anywhere else.

  9. Is this the end for the Onion? on Google To Prohibit Fake News Websites From Using Its Ad-Selling Software (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Do they even make a profit?

  10. Re:Things that don't happen rarely get press cover on Are Tesla Crashes Balanced Out By The Lives That They Save? (eetimes.com) · · Score: 1

    They are spying on their customers?

  11. Things that don't happen rarely get press coverage on Are Tesla Crashes Balanced Out By The Lives That They Save? (eetimes.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It would be hard to determine what it prevented when no one is reporting it. Some of the drivers may not have even been aware of the incident the car avoided.

  12. Autopilots in planes do not fly by themselves on Tesla Tells Germany that 98% of Drivers Don't Find the Term 'Autopilot' Misleading (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    The pilot is required to be constantly at the controls ready to take over. This use of the word also applies to cars. Problem is people get dependent on it. See Air France 447 for an example. The autopilot disengaged, and the pilots proceeded to do everything wrong and crashed the jet. You also have to take into account that the pilots/drivers might have the same accident with or without the autopilot. There are lots of accidents each year caused by drivers. Having the car automatically avoiding most of them may cut down the overall accident rate, even if it fails in certain situations.

  13. NASCAR will never be the same on Facebook To Stop Ads that Target, Exclude Races (usatoday.com) · · Score: 2

    What do you mean it's not that kind of race?

  14. The day starts at sunrise on Slashdot Asks: Is It Time To Dump Time Zones In Favor of Coordinated Universal Time? (nytimes.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Let's go back to local time. Have the day start at sunrise. Noon is when the Sun crosses the meridian. The day ends at sunset. What happens at night, stays at night.

  15. Flood their servers with a botnet on Nvidia Adds Telemetry To Latest Drivers (ghacks.net) · · Score: 1

    Figure out what they are reporting, then set up a botnet to flood their servers with false telemetry. They will get sick of it quickly.

  16. I was actually amazed that the movie followed the plot of the book as much as it did. But, traveling across the galaxy to fight bugs with assault rifles at 10 ft range was absolutely stupid. This is a book where soldiers fight in powered armor suits, parachuting from space and tossing tiny nuclear bombs around! Think Iron Man meets Star Wars! The plot about service to society as well as the basic training plot were critical to understanding the point of the book. The movie nearly cut out the heart of the book. I hope the reboot doesn't just turn into another action movie.

  17. Re:They invented the flip-phone? on Future iPhones Could Fold In Half (geek.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe they will add an external antennae!

  18. Re:Please, don't let SpaceX launch it. on World's Largest Space Telescope Is Complete, Expected To Launch In 2018 (space.com) · · Score: 0

    The French are going to launch it. Seriously.

  19. Including slashdot.org? on Trump Organization Owns More Than 3,600 Domain Names, Many of Which Bash Trump (go.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Seems to be bashing the Donald all the time.

  21. Re:Wallonia is a region of Belgium on CETA Signed Off As Wallonia Folds Under Pressure (freezenet.ca) · · Score: 2

    "Belgium" is the rudest word in the universe, which is "completely banned in all parts of the Galaxy, except in one part, where they could not possibly know what it means." - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

  22. To research better lung disease. Said so in the title. The world is ripe for better diseases.

  23. And it has to smoke outside by the back door.

  24. But they have to wait 18 years until it is legally allowed to smoke.

  25. Lotus 1-2-3 on Linux Marketshare is Above 2-Percent For Third Month in a Row (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Maybe they will release an update of Lotus 1-2-3 for Linux!
