  1. No. on Would You Put Ads On Your Homescreens For Free Mobile Service? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    No.

    What a stupid question.

  2. Tip of the iceberg on UPS Is Using Drones To Transport Medical Supplies Between Hospitals (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Autonomous aerial delivery of packages to buildings in congested areas like Manhattan and San Francisco would significantly reduce the impact of those deliveries on local infrastructure, like roads and bridges. Individual delivery to your door is not the only economical use of this technology.

  3. Re:Same reason most people are politicians (news) on Ask Slashdot: Why Are Scientists Constantly Surprised By What They Discover? · · Score: 2

    "Guy goes to work, does his job, and gets a paycheck"

    Excpet that the news today is "Guy goes to work, does his job, and doesn't get a paycheck."

  4. Last on the list: Presidential Proctologist.

  5. Re:"We" should repalce Facebook on We Should Replace Facebook With Personal Websites (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Take Slashdot

    <hennyyoungman>, please.</hennyyoungman>

  6. MySpace? WTF? on We Should Replace Facebook With Personal Websites (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    turning MySpace into a worthless piece of garbage

    Uh, MySpace users did that very effectively all by themselves. Facebook sucks a whole lot of hairy balls, but switching to suck hairy ass instead doesn't seem like an upgrade to me.

  7. I was just about to buy one to manage devices at home, but it appears that it is now useless. If I can't do it without "cloud", then fuck you.

  8. News For Nerds
    Stuff That Matters
    None Of The Above

  9. if someone is still using dial-up connectivity with their TiVo in 2018, they probably don't have broadband access

    What do "ethernet" or "wi-fi" have to do with broadband? I wired my house for ethernet when I was still using dial-up.

  10. Re:FAKE NEWS! THAT WOULD BE HIGHLY ILLEGAL! on Bitcoin's Price Was Artificially Inflated Last Year, Researchers Say (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I deeply regret my lack of mod points.

  11. Re:Emo Phillips on German ICO Savedroid Pulls Exit Scam After Raising $50 Million (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    She just propositioned you in a bar. Go with it, for maximum ROI.

  12. Re: Team Alexa on Voice Assistants Will Be Difficult To Fire (wired.com) · · Score: 2

    "Job's done!"

  13. Re: Fortitude on 'Biggest Data Center' To Be Built in Arctic (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Completely vain reply to myself, but this was my very first first post!

  14. Re: Is this a joke? on The Docx Games: Three Days At the Microsoft Office World Championship (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I lament my lack of mod points.

  15. Fortitude on 'Biggest Data Center' To Be Built in Arctic (bbc.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sounds like the sequel to Fortitude.

  16. I am a Democrat, but am usually registered as No Party Preference, because the California Democratic Party does not represent Democratic principles. But I am always a Democrat.

  17. Re:Not News for Nerds on Chicago To Make Future Plans a Graduation Requirement (thehill.com) · · Score: 2

    It punishes them for not wanting to tell the government about their plans.

  18. Re: Dreadful. on Opinion: Google Unleashes Terrible New Update For Google News Upon the Net · · Score: 2

    Yeah, the card paradigm might have it's place, but a news aggregator is not the place.

  19. The old layout was great and there was no good reason to change. It was mostly text and made efficient use of screen real estate, especially for wide screens. Now there is all this blank space and the text is crammed into the middle, and the images take up more space. This used to be my main news feed, now I'm looking for something else.

  20. Re:Money in the banana stand? on Amazon's 1.7 Million Free Bananas 'Disrupting' Local Fruit Economy (consumerist.com) · · Score: 1

    +1

  21. No AMC? on Hulu Launches Its Live TV Streaming Service (fortune.com) · · Score: 2

    No AMC? That's a non-starter. I selected PSVue because it was the only one that had the channels that I want (which includes AMC) and has a decent user interface (which means no Sling). I don't even use the PSVue service very often, I just watch most shows the next day on Hulu without commercials. I mostly use PSVue to record Walking Dead and The Americans.

  22. NEWSFLASH: People are fucking stupid.

  23. Re:It was a hell of a gamble... on Senate Confirms Neil Gorsuch To Supreme Court (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    like myself, who thought that both candidates were awful

    "Both" means two. There were more than two candidates.

  24. Re:It was a hell of a gamble... on Senate Confirms Neil Gorsuch To Supreme Court (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm a gun owner. I voted for Hillary.

  25. Re:It will never die... on Yes, You've Still Got Mail (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    I don't feel the need to immediately act on an incoming email and there is no expectation for me to do so from the sender.

    Anyone who knows me and sends me a text or instant message has no expectation of an immediate response, either.
