    And let's not forget its much better interface that works with you, not against you.

    Oh please. The US is the world's primary source of terror, not the Middle East.

    I wonder about that myself. It will probably be mass extinction on steroids.

    Quite full of yourself, aren't you?

  5. Re:Negotiation won't stop hurricanes on Trump's Officials Suggest Re-Negotiating The Paris Climate Accord (msn.com) · · Score: 1

    I saw a talk about the climate once at a scientific convention, and the guy said that even if we pull all the plugs and do everything we can the planet will get warmer first before it cools down. It will be 50 years from now that the average temperature is what it was before global warming started.

  6. A move worthy of Trump.

  7. Re: okay we get it, we eat plastic on We're Eating Plastics From Our Own Dirty Laundry (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Ah, sorry, I misread your post.

    I saw a program on TV once where a Danish farmer who had fed half of his pigs from a field that he used to treat with Glyphosate and the other half from a field that he didn't use Glyphosate on. The ones with the Glyphosate were not as healthy and had far more piglets that were born dead than the other half.

    I was quite astonished a few days ago to hear that the EU had decided that Glyphosate was safe. But now I read that part of the document in which they came to that conclusion was copied verbatim from Monsanto's document in which they tried to show it is safe.

    Yes, I remember the times when iron was still a heavy metal. "Don't eat iron," they told us. But I did once, and that is why I still know this.

    In that way you never get to know new people.

    That's funny, that argument also works for intelligence. Yet still that is researched scientifically, as is (self-)conscience.

    New ideas never come from big companies. Try them at small startups.

    I think self-consciousness is even more mysterious than life. It will take a while before we understand how that comes about.

    Tesla is in good company. Apple has been doing that sort of thing for years, by denying older hardware software upgrades it can easily handle. Case in point: my 2011 MBP didn't get Night Shift when that was released.

    Newton was a right fucking twat himself. I think he might have hated everybody.

  17. I don't think that argument will convince those people not to do it.

  18. I often 'like' things just to show that I've seen them.

  19. Siri on Slashdot Asks: How Do You Navigate Your Smartphone? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I use Siri for all my phone navigation. You learn a lot about the world that way, because most of the times she doesn't understand me.

  20. That last part sounds good. My company doesn't like competition but it does like profits. Let's do that!

    I probably am close to the average end user. As long as my system keeps working, preferably better than before the update, I'm fine with it.

  23. iPhones don't break down or become unusable once they don't get updates anymore. They easily last for 7 years or more.

  25. Haha, you're not the first one to comment on that. I got it in 1995 at work, liked it, and got an account on /. in 1996 or 1997, so way before the TSA was conceived.
