  1. Re:So much hate on No One Is Buying Smartwatches Anymore (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Keeping the wife happy is certainly worth it :)

  2. Re:Was Obvious from the Start on No One Is Buying Smartwatches Anymore (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    a niche market with limited growth potential = failure

  3. Re:A Phone to Replace my PC? on Satya Nadella: 'We Clearly Missed the Mobile Phone' (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    A phone with a docking station so it could be used as a desktop would be pretty cool. (Yes I know there is already some such thing)

  4. Well they were giving Windows 10 away, so it must be worth nothing.

  5. Re:Let's be perfectly honest on Women in Computing To Decline To 22% by 2025, Study Warns (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not just instant gratification... I wanted to be a Chemist but they were hiring foreign PHD for 35K a year to work in the hood next to me I saw the writing on the wall. Just wanted enough income to buy a house and support a family so switched to computers.

    When has computers been discussed (ever) on TV in an even vaguely realistic sense?

    Hogwash. 'Math isn't for girls' maybe was something she was telling hereself, or maybe her friends were telling her this. I distinctly remember girls outperforming us guys in advanced math classes back in the 80s. Who has been telling girls this (other than other girls?).

  8. Musk has wrong job on Elon Musk's Mars Colony Would Have a Horde of Mining Robots (engadget.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    Maybe he should start writing science fiction? Most of these things he talks about have been already thought about, maybe we can start planning this thing when there are mining robots on earth.

  9. Re: Is this for real on Researchers Predict Next-Gen Batteries Will Last 10 Times Longer (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    1200 pounds and 15k dollars? At this point it seems like a bit of a kludge....

  10. Can't wait until they come out with a cordless washing machine!

  11. Instead of exploding the first day you get your Note, it will explode day ten.

  12. We are already close to 1/5 for the theoretical limit for lithium ion batteries

  13. Yeah, like they didn't start with the low hanging fruit.....

  14. While I agree there will always be possibility of issues with updates, it's difficult to believe it's contribution costs 3x more than a mac. I'm having a hard time remembering personally experiencing any significant issues with 20 years experience.

  15. Yeah I wonder if it is just a matter of their Windows support team full of crusty dead weight and their new mac support team being cheap.

  16. Have actually worked in a real enterprise environment? They disable automatic updates and push their own patches. If they are having that much of a problem their IT department is incompetent.

  17. Re:Economics? on First New US Nuclear Reactor In 20 Years Goes Live (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    2/3 of the cost of your bill is distribution, so yeah, the calculation is off by a bit

  18. I find it pretty interesting there is a Hindi word for hundreds-of-thousands but suit yourself :-)

  19. Re:Sorry - whose car is this? on Tesla Bans Customers From Using Autonomous Cars To Earn Money Ride-Sharing (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Or maybe, just maybe don't want to be liable for problems when a customer is using it for profit?

  20. Re:Crazy on Czechs Arrest Russian Hacker Wanted By FBI (go.com) · · Score: 1

    They should box him up and send him here by UPS, then we could say 'the Czech is in the mail'

  21. Re:Pretty Dang Exciting on Apple Announces a Mac Event On October 27, Says 'Hello Again' · · Score: 1

    Pretty sure anyone doing serious video or audio editing work ditched macs several years ago.

  22. Re:Fees == false advertising on Plaintiffs From Seven States Sue Comcast For Misleading, Hidden Fees (dslreports.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't care who uses the bathroom... this fee stacking has been going on for at least two decades or more and the FTC does nothing about it. I see our Don Quixote government running a 500b debt and accomplishing nothing.

  23. Re:Escalation? on Apple Rumored To Remove Old-School USB Ports On Next MacBook Pro (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    Remove all the guts and you have a nice high tech clamshell to carry around a paper pad and a pen.

    For basketball I would claim another degree of separation. Even if you are 5'5" you can be a professional basketball player if you can 'hang' with the taller guys. Selection is strictly performance oriented.

  25. Re:Yes it could be the charger board (or firmware) on Samsung Hit With Class Action Lawsuit Over Exploding Galaxy Note 7 (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Perhaps a hotspot where the cpu is located.
