  1. If he gets a Samsung one, he might blow his way out of jail.

  2. Of course on Meet Lux, A New Lisp-like Language (javaworld.com) · · Score: 1

    That's what we sorely need - yet another silly language, so that its author can inflict his or her personal tastes on the rest of us. If anything is missing in the computing world, that is languages. While you are at it, throw in another development methodology - Agile is beginning to look old and tired, and a new fad is needed.

  3. I do not want my kids learning to code. I want for them to learn mathematics, physics, etc. and to develop their critical thinking schemes. I do not want for them to be trained to become code monkeys.

  4. Re:Welcome Back to DrudgeDot! on California's Bullet Train Hurtles Towards a Multibillion-Dollar Overrun (latimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Big projects done by government, bad. No further information needed!

    E.g. the Apollo program. Or Medicare/Medicaid. Or the Manhattan Project. The government does things wrong, but it also does things well. This mantra about the government fouling up everything it touches is patently false.

  5. This, together with the fact that Samsung's phones are the hottest in the market, will rekindle the interest of people in these devices. I am sure that the public is already burning with anticipation to purchase those explosive handsets, which will no doubt obliterate the competition with a huge bang. Samsung really is on fire.

  6. Re:Flat, unintuitive UI? No thanks! on Opera Neon Turns Your Web Browser Into a Mini Desktop (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    THANK YOU. Unfortunately, I bet the UIs ARE thought up by experts.

    You mean, like the ones who came with the Gnome 3.*, Unity and KDE 4.* monstrosities? Experts at what? At making life miserable for users?

  7. AI? You mean, AS, right? on HTC's New Flagship Phone Has AI and a Second Screen, But No Headphone Jack (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Artificial Stupidity is a more appropriate tag. Such stuff in current phones is amusing, for a while, tolerable, if they keep quiet unless told otherwise, somewhat useful, for very simple requests, and totally incompetent for anything that requires a bit of planning, insight or sagacity. In time, I am sure they will become deserving of the AI tag. As of today, they are just AS.

  8. Why, o why? on Cassettes Are Back, and Booming (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    As somebody who grew up when cassette tapes had their heyday, I would never go back to that. Slow, prone to become entangled, to deteriorate, awful sound, a pain in the neck to copy, etc. A $10 USB stick will hold more music than my entire collection of cassette tapes in the 80s did; the sound quality of the tracks will in general be far better; the format is more portable and convenient; it can be trivially backed up. May cassette tapes stay in the history books, where they belong - they were great, at the time, but today they are ridiculous.

  9. How do they do it? on Comcast Remains America's Most-Hated Company, Survey Finds (dslreports.com) · · Score: 1

    Year after year after year, Comcast remains the most hated company in the US. How do they manage it? I don't think we are talking sheer negligence alone. I think that, for whatever reason, Comcast is actively seeking to stay among the most hated companies in the country. How does that contribute to their bottom line? Free publicity?

  10. Re:Article misses the point on Streaming TV is Beginning To Look a Lot Like Cable (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    We don't want "channels" any more. We don't want to watch some program on your schedule. We want to stream specific things when we want to stream them.

    This is the key issue. Traditional companies either do not grasp this concept, or else they do, but refuse to take action. As is usual with this kind of thing, the panoramic wil change once the dinosaurs that run such companies are gone.

  11. Graphene, the material of the future on MIT Unveils New Material That's Strongest and Lightest On Earth (futurism.com) · · Score: 1

    So it was 10 years ago, so it will be in 10 years time.

  12. For the teeny weeny phone screens are the place where primarily to enjoy movies.

  13. Re: Not to rain on the parade, but... on Next-Gen Samsung EV Battery Gets 300+ Miles of Range From 20-Minute Charge (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    In 1913 the average income was about $15,000

    Can you present supporting evidence? I find it VERY difficult to believe, bearing in mind that, in the late 70s, a $30K a year was a good salary.

  14. It is a Samsung product - it's bound to explode, at some point.

  15. It is too volatile on Bitcoin Was 2016's Best-Performing Currency (newsweek.com) · · Score: 1

    For as long as it remains this volatile, its importance will remain minor.

  16. That way, Microsoft will suck in an innovative way. Consider yourself middle-fingered, Microsoft.

  17. We are talking about a company that sells explosive products. Samsung's handsets are the hottest ones in the market, and are sure to sear the competition. The public is already burning with anticipation for the next bang from Samsung. This is a company on fire.

  18. When you can't provide substance on Microsoft To Revamp Windows 10 UI With Upcoming 'Project Neon' Update, Leaked Images Show (mspoweruser.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Give them superficial inaneness. Microsoft's time-honored tradition and trademark.

  19. 1. The stupid glasses, which make the image dim and give you a headache. 2. It is not 3D - it adds depth, but that is it. Unlike real 3D, you change your position and the image does not change. It was a silly gimmick in the 50s, it is a silly gimmick now. Let's wait for real, holographic 3D as in Star Wars.

  20. So it is true on Rumors of Cmd's Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated (microsoft.com) · · Score: 1

    If a mindless talking head from Microsoft is publicly denying it, then it must be true.

  21. Without any doubt, however, they will be far, far hotter. We are already used to explosive products from Samsung; this company really knows how to keep the flame alive. I am sure that potential buyers will be burning with anticipation to acquire what can only be described as a glowing product. Samsung is on fire.

  22. Chances are though that it would make it explode, as it behooves Samsung, the company on fire that knows how to keep the flame alive. I am already burning with anticipation for this product. When it comes to making things explode, you can't beat a Samsung handset.

  23. What about at night?

    There is always sunlight somewhere on Earth.

  24. The strong arm and bully people, and they have yet to reach a 25% penetration, less than 6% with their browser, which is the default that the illiterate masses won't be able, or won't care, to change. Well done, Microsoft; living up to expectations. Consider yourself, once again, middle fingered.

  25. They know how to keep the flame alive on Samsung To Reveal This Month What Caused the Galaxy Note 7 Smartphone To Catch Fire - Report (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    We can expect further hot products from Samsung. If a company is on fire, Samsung is. The public is burning with anticipation for more explosive products from an organization unique in its capabilities to rekindle buyers' enthusiasm.
