  1. Re:Airbnb is a scam on What Airbnb Did To New York City (citylab.com) · · Score: 1

    Used airbnb a number of times, and only once there was a slight problem. I let a quite negative review which has been published. And if you search a bit more, you’ll find negative reviews. So what you say is questionable. The reason why there are less negative reviews is thanks to the many identity and other proofs that are requested to subscribe - and people, hosts and guests, tend to behave honestly not to get a bad review. Of course, some scam and other bigger problems happen, which are always largely publicized (hotel lobbies are probably helping). But take the number of rooms rent per day, compare that to the number of real problems - the ratio bad/good is infinitesimal. I travelled a lot also, and I’ve been -on average - way more satisfied with airbnb than with hotels.

  2. Re:Oblig post: Disappointed it was Jupiter's inter on NASA Spacecraft Reveals Jupiter's Interior In Unprecedented Detail (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I was hoping to see inside Uranus

    Well, if Uranus internals looks like Jupiters find a physician near you.

  3. For a much better level of Jupiter photography, you have to wait until 1979, when Voyager 2 is to be around.

  4. I can't wait to plug one into my headphone jack.

    You need a hammer for that.

  5. Re:Save yourself some trouble on Apple Is Reportedly Making Its Own High-End Noise-Cancelling Headphones (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Any *noise cancellation* device recommendation?

  6. They killed this product when they released the iPhone 7 without a headphone jack.

    That's probably why Apple wants to make their own headphones, that truly compete with jack connected devices, and to be plugged via the lightning connector (or BT).

  7. and they'll all have jack connectors

    That reminds me of Multics

    Time to get a raise!

  10. Re:Make 2.0 on Slashdot Outage Update · · Score: 1

    Actually me too. Slashdot format (including the geeky gray design) and the tone (comments) contribute to make the site a closed club that keeps providing insightful comments that would not appear somewhere else - or anyway would not stand out the way it does here - from more "mature" people. Of course a bunch of ACs bring a few trolls here and there - which usually don't live (show) long - but this is the price to pay to allow anonymous comments (which are necessary!). And, that's hard to admit (for some reasons), but slashdot is (still) unique!

  11. Re:No problem, and thanks on Slashdot Outage Update · · Score: 1

    Actually, I've been coming to /. from even more than that - and even had a 6 dig id ... unfortunately, gave out the domain to which the email was attached, and the password doesn't seem to work anymore.

  12. Re:Also on Slashdot Outage Update · · Score: 2

    Well, I'm a big fan of Whiplash (the movie) and Slash (the guitarist) ; so Whipslash is an happy agglomerate of the two + editor... nice!

  13. The basic dev question on Slashdot Outage Update · · Score: 1

    Will the new version be a complete rewrite - or are you sticking to Perl?

  14. Re:How many bars does a 4G phone get on the moon? on Nokia, Vodafone To Bring 4G To the Moon (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Someone got the current date on a Nokia phone: Apr 1, 2018.

  15. Or that!

  16. So you say that, technically, these emojis are a technical feat. Sure. But seriously Apple and now Samsung making a top selling point out if it?
    Don't think it'll have a deep impact on most users lives, phone wise...

  17. Just wow. I really hope these motherfuckers have a good view of each other when they're burning in hell.

    They're a bunch of stupid fanatics, sure, but unfortunately not stupid enough to believe in 'hell'.

  18. "Only two weeks", but why? on Soderbergh's Thriller Shot on iPhone Premieres in Berlin (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    "shot over just two weeks - way shorter than the months a movie usually takes" ... why shooting on an iPhone would reduce dramatically the time it takes to release a movie? Most pro video cameras are digital anyway. Doesn't really make sense.

  19. Shot on an iPhone and that shows... on Soderbergh's Thriller Shot on iPhone Premieres in Berlin (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Wide angle all along, washed ambient colors, the trailer shows that images are not as pleasing as with a bigger camera.

  20. Re:Sensational Bullshit on Boston Dynamics Is Teaching Its Robot Dog To Fight Back Against Humans (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    That's probably the used-in-movie meaning. Think "returns".

  21. Have 37.2 TB available.

  22. Re:I posted this elsewhere, but on Boston Dynamics Is Teaching Its Robot Dog To Fight Back Against Humans (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Probably because the robot moves really look like the ones of a real dog...

  23. James Cameron is a great visionary.

  24. Re:thousand dollar phones on Samsung To Cut OLED Production Due To Poor iPhone X Sales · · Score: 1

    Personally, I don't want a thousand dollar phone

    Compared to the iPhone 8+ or the latest Samsung, is the X really expensive? A bit more, yes, but not that much. I considered purchasing the X, and would have given the money would it be worth it. But I didn't think it is. Not impressed by Oled, didn't like its width, nor the "notch" ; didn't care at all about the moving smilies, and prefer fingerprints to face recognition...

  25. Thanks, but on Apple Updates All of Its Operating Systems To Fix App-crashing Bug (engadget.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    What about the 9753 other less publicized yet very annoying iOS bugs?
