  1. Re:How many priuses and leafs crash every day? on Dutchman Dies in Tesla Crash; Firefighters Feared Electrocution (reuters.com) · · Score: 0

    My thought exactly. If this was a Prius, would they have been afraid?

  2. I just fax them cash on Ask Slashdot: What Are Anonymous Ways To Pay For Goods and Services? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I just fax them cash. I keep it along with the fax confirmation sheet as a evidence that I paid.

  3. Re:I would like more that 2G speed at my house on T-Mobile To Boost Its LTE Speeds To 400 Mbps (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, I have Wifi at home. The whole area around it is 2G, and I do go places in the area other than my house. 4G would be handy.

  4. Re:I would like more that 2G speed at my house on T-Mobile To Boost Its LTE Speeds To 400 Mbps (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    No, it's T-Mobile 2G. The whole area I live in has 2G T-mobile coverage. So does the area north and west of where I work (I live south). Just to the north of my house there is 4G non-LTE coverage, then LTE just to the north of that.

  5. I would like more that 2G speed at my house on T-Mobile To Boost Its LTE Speeds To 400 Mbps (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    I have lightning fast service from T-Mobile where I work, but still 2G at my house. I wish they would fill in the gaps while upgrading the speed everywhere else.

  6. First bottled water, next bottled air on Toxic Air Pollution Particles Found In Human Brains (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I need to switch to bottled air. The natural stuff is getting to dangerous.

  7. Re:Nice landing! on Long-Lost Comet Lander Philae Found (seeker.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly how would that have helped? The lander didn't stick when it landed, and bounced into a chasm. It was in shade, and couldn't use solar power to operate. It also couldn't point its antennae to communicate. How would an AI help at all?

  8. Re:Downtown Detroit on No Coding in Palo Alto? City Takes On Silicon Valley Growth (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1

    I think this fits the definition of "used to": "But Downtown Detroit [wikipedia.org] hasn't had factories of any meaningful scale for ages."

  9. Re:Why would you want tech companies in the downto on No Coding in Palo Alto? City Takes On Silicon Valley Growth (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Downtown in most cities is where businesses are. Wall street is downtown. The US Capital is downtown. Detroit used to have factories downtown. Downtown isn't the shopping district, except where all the businesses left and they made it a shopping district to save it from abandonment.

  10. Re:Tuna!!! on Isolated NASA Team Ends Year-Long Mars Simulation In Hawaii (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Tuna? in Hawaii? They should have been eating Spam like all good Hawaiians do.

  11. Melbourne, Austria on Microsoft Lost a City Because They Used Wikipedia Data (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Next update will have Melbourne located in Austria.

  12. Your Right!

  13. Does it run Microsoft Bob? on ReactOS 0.4.2 Released: Supports Linux Filesystems, .NET Applications, and Doom 3 (reactos.org) · · Score: 1

    I mean, what is the point behind developing a new version of Windows to run old software if you can't run Bob?

  14. Re:It's tainted on ReactOS 0.4.2 Released: Supports Linux Filesystems, .NET Applications, and Doom 3 (reactos.org) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Um, since Microsoft doesn't release it's code, there is no way you determine that is was copied. Also, since Microsoft doesn't release it's code, there is no way to copy it. If the APIs are the same, of course. They are trying to create software that runs Windows programs that call Windows APIs. They would have to be the same. The law suit would fall into the same category as SCO vs IBM over Unix code in Linux.

  15. Re:Pokemon Go killed more people than Tesla Autopi on Second Confirmed Death In Japan Involving Pokemon Go (japantimes.co.jp) · · Score: 1

    In the Venn diagram, that would be in the little slice where the circles overlap.

  16. So you can't play it on a train?

  17. Pokemon Go killed more people than Tesla Autopilot on Second Confirmed Death In Japan Involving Pokemon Go (japantimes.co.jp) · · Score: 4, Informative

    So, Pokémon Go has now killed more people than Tesla Autopilot has.

  18. Re:Saint Jude, don't let me down! on The Big Short: Security Flaws Fuel Bet Against St. Jude (securityledger.com) · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Another song by Muddy Waters research.

  19. Re:The loaner phones on iPhones and iPads Fail More Often Than Android Smartphones (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    And all the dead Palm Treos are rolling over in their graves.

  20. Re:Constitutional Amendment on Malware Sold To Governments Helped Them Spy on iPhones (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Which countries constitution are you referring to?

  21. Re:What kind of stupid ass reporting is this?! on iPhones and iPads Fail More Often Than Android Smartphones (softpedia.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    "Apple has wifi issues (I've encountered them too) - Android has toush screen issues, random reboots (random reboots?!?!) - therefore Android is better WTF?!" The article is stating that these problems occur more often on iOS vs Android, not that these problems occur on every phone. They are just listing the types of problems, not stating that one type of problem is better than another.

  22. Very small, poorly written article on iPhones and iPads Fail More Often Than Android Smartphones (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    That article is so small, it is hard to even argue about what is says. Not enough information to even properly understand what it is trying to present.

  23. Re:Windows 10 is shit on Windows 10 Computers Crash When Amazon Kindles Are Plugged In (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    I ran into that too. It was lost to the account, the start button was still there. I had to create another account via the command prompt, log into that one, delete the original account, and then create a replacement account. Of course, I had to then log into that account, and kill the one I created via the command prompt. Very screwed up way to fix the problem, but it worked. Only happened once on one machine.

    Try Apple Maps. I'm sure they will have all the hip new places listed.
