    9. Go back and time and display a real interest in science and experimentation even before you were a teenager

  2. Awful Stats on No, Millennials Aren't a Bunch of Job-Hopping Flakes (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 2

    First of all, I don't subscribe to any of the millennial bashing as generalizing this way is pointless. OTOH 2000 was the peak of the internet go-go years and job availability/mobility was very high. 2016 not so much....

  3. Re:Going straight to plaid? Yeah right. on Facebook is Working On a Way To Let You Type With Your Brain (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    You can't get much simpler than the waveform of sound. Don't tell me there is some brain interface that is less complex.

    There's also a notion that this could be pie in the sky marketing crap and not worthy of mention.

  7. Why facebook? on Facebook is Working On a Way To Let You Type With Your Brain (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    There are probably dozens of places that are working on similar things and more likely to succeed. Why mention the facebook effort?

  8. Re:Seriously? on Silicon Valley's $400 Juicer May Be Feeling the Squeeze (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Anyone that cares even the slightest amount about wasting money would buy neither the juicer or the bags.

  9. Re:Restrict orbits on Broadband Expansion Could Trigger Dangerous Surge In Space Junk (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    That's why you have a standard module with known life expectancy. Why re-engineer a custom foolproof solution for each satellite? Sure it will add cost but eventually the cost of having too much junk in orbit is going to greater....

  10. Re:Restrict orbits on Broadband Expansion Could Trigger Dangerous Surge In Space Junk (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Or someone could make a relatively inexpensive generic de-orbit module and create an international agreement that all new satellites have one.

    Hopefully someone will come up with a slick version of russian roulette, that way we can skip the diabetes and other expensive and boring side effects of consumerism.

  12. neither healthy or refreshing on Silicon Valley's $400 Juicer May Be Feeling the Squeeze (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Too much sugar and it rots your teeth. There is a reason your grandma had those little juice cups that were a bit bigger than a shot glass.

  13. Re:Microsoft...why couldn't they do this? on User-Made Patch Lets Owners of Next-Gen CPUs Install Updates On Windows 7 & 8.1 (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    My Guess is they don't want to validate the updates for the older OS on newer CPU hardware. At least that would be the 'engineering' reason....

  14. Re:Dune on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Favorite Sci-Fi Movie? · · Score: 1

    Movie got panned due to the hype... but it really isn't a bad movie. With so much of the overdone stuff being released now a days you wish there were still movies like that.

  15. Isn't this what beer does?

    Am I missing something? All of the Office 365 applications work inside a browser.

  21. total recall on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Favorite Sci-Fi Movie? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It's one of the few movies that has actually become more though provoking over time. Sure it's full of cheese and an-old but great story.
