  1. Re:Do they mean the cable? on EU Regulators To Study Need For Action on Common Mobile Phone Charger (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    "Most" "All". Which is what this is all about.

  2. Re:Who is buying these things? on Why iPhone and Android Phone Prices Will Get Even Higher (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    You are such a child.

  3. The question is, what jobs are there out there for people with those degrees?

  4. CCleaner for Android is a joke on Avast Pulls the Latest Version of CCleaner Following Privacy Controversy (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually, a very bad joke. It does not really do anything that you can do by hand, it is intrusive, it consumes lots of resources, and it is generally obnoxious.

  5. However, mice are not people: I think that cures that have shown to have quasi-miraculous effects on mice have, without exception, proved to be far, far less effective on people.

  6. Don't underestimate flat-earthers on Google Maps Now Zooms Out To a Globe Instead of a Flat Earth (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    These people are determined and unwavering when it comes not to let facts get in the way of their ignorant prejudices.

  7. Diamonds myths on Rare Blue Diamonds Lurk Deep In Earth's Core (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    1. They are not that rare. Thanks DeBeers for creating and maintaining an artificial scarcity for close to 100 years now. 2. They became THE engagement ring thing not so long ago. Again, DeBeers is responsible for the underlying marketing ploy. 3. They are a lousy investment. Ordinary diamonds, like the ones that normal people can afford, instantly lose 50% of their value as the leave the jewelry shop.

  8. The could also have tried to develop daring, innovative technology, rather than doing the obvious thing.

  9. Re:Thank you Linus... on With DaaS Windows Coming, Say Goodbye To Your PC As You Know It (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    You must know something that I don't - I have been using Linux in my desktop for the last 20 years, without any significant problems. I did not know that it does not work. I guess now I know better.

  10. Re: They think small on Terraforming Might Not Work on Mars, New Research Says (discovermagazine.com) · · Score: 1

    Do you people have an inkling about the amounts of energy involved to do that? Even for pipsqueaks like Phobos and Deimos, which would do nothing much to increase Mars' gravity, were they to collide into Mars.

  11. Re: They think small on Terraforming Might Not Work on Mars, New Research Says (discovermagazine.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe move Venus to the Mars orbit and create a bi-planetary system like Terra/Luna.

    Sure. Build a Dyson sphere, while you are at it. The engineering of terraforming Mars is way beyond our current capabilities. The engineering of moving Venus to the Mars orbit is exponentially way beyond our current capabilities.

  12. Re:space nutters are nuts on Terraforming Might Not Work on Mars, New Research Says (discovermagazine.com) · · Score: 1

    we are not going to terraform mars, idiots

    People like you, of course not. The rest of us might, or might not; but, we would like to have a go.

  13. Re:Does it still run in old software? on Ubuntu Linux-based Distro Lubuntu To No Longer Focus on Old Hardware (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Software --> Hardware, as discerning minds already gathered.

  14. Does it still run in old software? on Ubuntu Linux-based Distro Lubuntu To No Longer Focus on Old Hardware (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    For, if it does not any longer, it loses the essence of its motivation to exist in the first place - when it comes to being a resource hog, Gnome and KDE already excel in the Linux world.

  15. Bugs in Samsung? on Bugs In Samsung IoT Hub Leave Smart Home Open To Attack (threatpost.com) · · Score: 1

    That's not possible. Samsung is a company on fire, consistently coming up with the hottest products in the market, and explosive devices that no one else can match, in its hell-bent effort of singeing the competition.

  16. Why this? on Google Executive Warns of Face ID Bias (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Another step toward a tyrannical, Big Brother-like society, and all preceded, as usual, with the excuse of fighting crime. Google, please stick your Face ID system you know where.

  17. Not unexpected though. And more egg in the face of those in trendy circles where questioning Einstein (from a well of ignorance) has become fashionable.

  18. There are roughly 20 flops for every breakthrough.

    More like 20 megaflops.

  19. Announcing in Slashdot a technological breakthrough seems to be the death knell of said breakthrough. My expectation: it will amount to nothing. In a few months, everybody will have forgotten about it.

  20. Nothing to see here.

  21. Re:Trump to hang for treason, learned nothing on Windows 10 To Use Machine Learning in Latest Attempt To Make Reboots Less Annoying (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    With this nonsense, which is out of of topic to boot, what you are achieving is more attention and even sympathy for Trump. Thanks for nothing.

  22. I am amazed that people put up with this nonsense. That MIcrosoft can reboot your own computer essentially at will, at an instant of their choosing, is something that should be of grave concern to anybody even minimally concerned about data security and confidentiality.

  23. $150K for 8 engineers and 14 months? It sure was not a full-time job.

  24. Irrational investors on Facebook Shares Drop On Revenue Miss (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    As usual, investors acting irrationally and like a mob of sheep. No wonder we have market meltdowns every so often. FB remains of PoS though, so no sorrow here.

  25. Re:I think I saw this movie on Evidence Detected of Lake Beneath the Surface of Mars (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    unleashed that which can't be contained.

    Isn't that an oxymoron?
