  1. I will give up the great fiber so I don't have to live in an apartment.

  2. Better Idea... on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Explain Copyright To My Kids? · · Score: 2

    Teach them how to use a VPN

  3. Re:Compulsory License for Video on 40 Percent of America Will Cut the Cord By 2030, New Report Predicts (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't be surprised if they made more money than they do with their current licensing scheme...

  4. I'm not complaining. It's just that we had to make our own fun : )

  5. I am sure the stuff going to 'safe' sections is a lot less than that.

  6. we used to take 'trips' in the dryer when we were kids... there wasn't much to do in the 70's.

  7. Re:Does diversity results in better code? on To Solve the Diversity Drought in Software Engineering, Look to Community Colleges (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    YMMV but I have found that women have a moderating effect on the team and much less stressful if you are > 22 YO....

  8. Re:Just a bad pricing policy by manufacturer! on How 'Grinch Bots' Are Ruining Online Christmas Shopping (nypost.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess they should have 'obviously' known months in advance when setting pricing for retailers that their toy would become a fad hit.

  9. That's a crap excuse. I spend less time making a pot of coffee than it takes to go into a Starbucks. People just don't have any common sense.

  10. then you will want to die ; )

  11. Re:EVs are great, but they don't solve everything. on Electric Cars Are Already Cheaper To Own and Run Than Petrol Or Diesel, Says Study (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I would say having to drive more than 60 miles a day is an edge case- that would be a 12 hour charge.

  12. Re:Disrespectful on SpaceX Plans To Blast a Tesla Roadster Into Orbit Around Mars (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Tesla should just cut to the chase and launch 3,000 lbs of cash into space.... you know, for their investors.

  13. Re:Elon Musk ... on Tesla Switches on Giant Battery To Shore Up Australia's Grid (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    USA borrows 60million an hour, top that! ; )

  14. Re:So are they making 5Bn/year? on Tesla Switches on Giant Battery To Shore Up Australia's Grid (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I am not impressed with Hollywood either. Tesla is supposed to be a business, not a show.

  15. Re:Musk wins again: Slashdot is butthurt on Tesla Switches on Giant Battery To Shore Up Australia's Grid (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Also, are they actually spending at a rate of $4.4B/year?

    Yes, google it if you must. For all we know this battery installation cost them 100M and was done for publicity purposes. Still impressed?

  16. Re:Not There Yet on Two Technologists Create Black Metal Album Using An AI (theoutline.com) · · Score: 2

    If they could create a new Necrophagist album this way I would be impressed, but I have my doubts.

  17. Re:Better safe than sorry... on An Unconscious Patient With a 'DO NOT RESUSCITATE' Tattoo (nejm.org) · · Score: 1

    I know people get unwanted tattoos but this particular one about poker bet and DNR sounds hokey.

  18. Re:Musk wins again: Slashdot is butthurt on Tesla Switches on Giant Battery To Shore Up Australia's Grid (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    A 50 million dollar sale for a company that burns 500K an hour doesn't really seem like a big deal.

  19. Re:Elon Musk ... on Tesla Switches on Giant Battery To Shore Up Australia's Grid (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Anything is possible when you spend $500,000 an hour......

  20. Re:Better safe than sorry... on An Unconscious Patient With a 'DO NOT RESUSCITATE' Tattoo (nejm.org) · · Score: 1

    Right. And what are the chances that story about unwanted tattoo was made up or urban legend?

  21. Re:Did the right thing... on An Unconscious Patient With a 'DO NOT RESUSCITATE' Tattoo (nejm.org) · · Score: 1

    Actually that's a good hack- instead of DNR get the wrong blood type tattoo on your chest.

  22. Re:They may have more cells... on Study Finds Dogs Are Brainier Than Cats (vanderbilt.edu) · · Score: 1

    Wow never thought of that :) Really I made a decision to have a 'spoiled' dog when she was a puppy. While this can be irresponsible or dangerous with large aggressive dogs it's not much of an issue with a corgi.

  23. Re:Better safe than sorry... on An Unconscious Patient With a 'DO NOT RESUSCITATE' Tattoo (nejm.org) · · Score: 1

    Whatever happens I hope the hospital eats the cost.

  24. Re:another data point on An Unconscious Patient With a 'DO NOT RESUSCITATE' Tattoo (nejm.org) · · Score: 1

    If they are not resuscitated why would they care? (Not meant to be funny by the way)

    I give her stuff to shut her up but it doesn't seem to work.
