Now I see what you did there. We're talking programming languages here. Text editor is whatever rocks your boat. I disagree with you, but that's not the point.
(Except the use of gdb is so much easier (IMHO) in Emacs, but that's only because I spend a bit of time setting it up the first time I log into a new environment)
I don't think this is much of an Irony. Microsoft is a software company, not hardware. Sure, their Surface sells reasonably well, but they're more touch-enabled laptops than tablets. The phone market was already too full when MS arrived. It makes sense that they retired (and it most likely isn't permanent).
I disagree with this. If you're driving a car and cause a fatal crash, you are responsible for your actions. But if a piece of software is driving the car, then surely you can't be held liable. Liability lies with the car or driving software manufacturer, there's no license agreement that can hold in court over that.
Autonomous cars don't have to be perfect. They merely have to do better than humans. 40,000 vehicular deaths per year just in the US tends to set the good enough bar pretty damn low. AI will do the same.
Actually, if you want people to accept autonomous cars, you will have to do *MUCH* better than humans. Think of the civil lawsuits and subsequent damages if a computer-driven car kills someone...
I agree, and I still find comments (to be honest, I've usually seen the news elsewhere by the time it's posted here, but most of the time I look forward to what/. is going to say about it).
You do have to filter out some comments sometimes, but in all,/.'s comment base is still *much* more interesting and educated than that of the TFA.
One regret? I can't seem to remember the last time a website was "slashdotted" by having a link to it posted in a story:-)
Checked the state of the batteries recently? Because if they've starting leaking all over the inside of the "spares", you might as well call a hazmat team...
That's not necessarily relevant, if your cash flow is big enough. Remember it's small profits repeated many times. Imagine one exchange will sell you a bitcoin at $5000 and another is still buying at $5100 because it updates slower, you've made 100$ (minus fees).
But you'd have to invest larger amounts, and you're right, transaction times are quite limiting.
I'm suprised nobody has started arbitrating between different BC exchanges. With the current volatility the opportunities are massive. I guess you can't really short-sell but with a minimal investment you could make a mint!
But they have to disclose it with the SEC as soon as they reach a threshold (5 or 10%, can't remember), including their further intentions. So the shares would have spiked as soon as word got out anyway.
The French term is "abus de position dominante", in which case it translates into anything youd do where you're trying to kill off competition by using a large market share. Not the same as a monopoly. I believe it is the same laws that got MS fined regarding the IE situation a few years ago. I remember/. being more supportive of that particular decision back then...

You could always burn it? ah, wait...

What's wrong with C, you insensitive clod?!

Habeas Corpus != Habeas Flat Screen TV
Almost... You can't become President (yet).
Actually, that is an interesting point, but should be presented from the other side.
You're assigned a certain amount of awake time at birth, but sleep deprivation means you reduce that waking time bit by bit.

A tech giant takes over a grocery store, and we bicker about semantics. I love Slashdot <3

yeah but Macs are made by Apple so...
Or maybe a Time Capsule flies like an Apple?
Or because fruit flies like an apple?
I thought that was the EB-5 Visa, but apparently it's something else. I'm not sure I understand then...
