  1. Re:I prefer it with people... on Animated Simulation Lets You Watch the Titanic Sink In Real Time (huffingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Jaaack...

  2. Re:Far more people died in WW I and II on Animated Simulation Lets You Watch the Titanic Sink In Real Time (huffingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Wars were the #1 non natural cause of death in the 20th century. This accident is nothing in comparison

    Indeed. We shouldn't care about driving safely, terrorism or earthquakes, the number of yearly deaths being so low in comparison.

  3. Re:The Titanic was another shining example on Animated Simulation Lets You Watch the Titanic Sink In Real Time (huffingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Their "real-time iceberg detection via satellite imagery" didn't work well?

  4. Re:I prefer it with people... on Animated Simulation Lets You Watch the Titanic Sink In Real Time (huffingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, the simulation is 2h 41min, but I prefer the 3h 14min James Cameron longer version, way more entertaining.

  5. This Titanic was lucky on Animated Simulation Lets You Watch the Titanic Sink In Real Time (huffingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Nobody was aboard.

  6. Would be interesting to know... on Apple Launches MacBook 2016 With Intel Skylake Processor, Longer Battery Life · · Score: 4, Interesting
    why

    the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro lineups won't be getting the Intel Skylake upgrade for at least a few more months

    Technical or commercial reasons?

  7. Yes it's April 1st. Your watch is pulling an April fool's joke on you.

  8. Re:If you need this, then it's already too late. on Smart Mattress With Lover Detection System Will Track Your Partner's Infidelities (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, some people are just plain paranoid.

    What about the left-handed geeks?

    As long as it doesn't track mine..

  12. Re:I call BS on Jet Strikes Drone Near Heathrow Airport (marketwatch.com) · · Score: 1
    TFS

    A British Airways flight Sunday appears to have collided with a drone

    It's not just a pilot who merely thinks he saw a drove, the flight apparently collided with a drone, not the same thing.

  13. 1300, isn't that the number you multiply another product price to in order to get the price of a Dyson product?

  14. Re:Censoring comments, why? on The Guardian Publishes Comment Abuse Stats, Invites Debate On Moderation (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    What may be "unimportant" to you may be of more importance to somebody else - since the frontier between un/acceptable is very relative, subjective and unfair, it's better to keep all comments (hide the offending ones, but allow the user to show them).

  15. It'd be interesting to know who was the first, among Google, FB and AZ, to build a clever financial scheme in order to - legally (that's why the law is being changed) - pay less taxes. My money would go on Google being the smartest, the other would have simply copy-pasted.

  16. Censoring comments, why? on The Guardian Publishes Comment Abuse Stats, Invites Debate On Moderation (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Why are they censoring comments? That's just comments for chrissake! Comments reflect people's opinion, all people, and ensures the reader to get a fair sample of what people think. So the Guardian may censor that comment, that I would have seen as interesting, and may keep this one that I may feel too politically-correct. It's a website, keep all comments! Add a "comment flagged but you may read it here at your own risk" button, or do a slashdot-like moderation (for newbies, slashdot keeps all comments, yes).

  17. Once there it just crashes into the star?

  18. ...C# dev!

  19. Still, BSODs? on Microsoft's BSOD Is Getting More Descriptive With QR Codes (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    Didn't have a BSOD for such a long time... don't really remember when was the last one, but it seems that was just before I started using Linux.

  20. Re:Until the next time it happens. on Director Brennan: CIA Won't Waterboard Again, Even If Ordered By Future President (msnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    In Europe and the recent terrorism activities, it's amazing how police is able to extract confessions without - apparently - doing any torture.

  21. Re:This will not end well on Japan To Begin Testing Fingerprints As 'Currency' (the-japan-news.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually, the foreigners fingerprint database is already available, since any foreigner entering Japan has his/her fingerprint taken during the immigration procedure. Beta or not, that would emphasize even more the difference between Japanese and foreigners (the Japanese like that).

  22. Re:This will work! on Japan To Begin Testing Fingerprints As 'Currency' (the-japan-news.com) · · Score: 1

    Regarding the "abuse" part, any foreigner entering Japan has his/her fingerprints taken at the airport immigration, so the database is ready, already.

  23. Re:not going to work on Siemens and Airbus To Push Electric Aviation Engines (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes but maybe the electric engines powered planes would transport only a handful of passengers on shorter distances.
